Nicole Arbour is a comedian whose videos have been known to tick a few people off and this latest one is no exception.
Arbour is well known for her “hard to swallow” comical approach when addressing serious issues. So, it’s no surprise she took on the real issues behind some Americans not wanting to help the Syrian refugees.
The refugees aren’t coming here to vacation. They are trying to escape a war zone and get themselves and their children to safety. Isn’t that what you would do if your home was attacked? I’m pretty sure you would get to a safe place and hope someone with an ounce of humanity will help? So why are Syrian refugees being treated as criminals and less than human in their time of need?
Sadly, one of the first rules we learn as children has completely escaped some of us: sharing.
That’s right, Arbour pokes fun at people not wanting to share “their resources” with the refugees. Seriously? Those who don’t want to share their resources need to realize two things. First of all, if you didn’t create it yourself, it’s not yours. Yup, the land, the water and the air, not yours to claim because you didn’t make it. And don’t give me that tired ass excuse,”Our Ancestors founded this land,” because they didn’t. They stole it and enslaved the true founders, but that’s a whole other article. Secondly, you’ve never needed someone to share with you? Exactly, so let’s not forget the Golden Rule.
Treat others as you would want to be treated.
Yup, it’s that simple. Ever needed a ride somewhere and someone was kind enough to give it to you? Did you steal their car? Ever have to borrow a buck or two because you fell short at the register? Did you steal their wallet?
My point, and Nicole’s is that when you needed help, you simply took the help and nothing more. Assuming that the refugees are going to rob you blind makes you a selfish asshat. I’ve also heard people use their safety as a poor excuse to ban Syrian refugees. While I understand the want to stay safe, let’s not blame a group of people who haven’t done anything but ask for help.

Thought for the day
#$%$!?!
For as long as I’ve been alive there have been terrorists. The IRA in Ireland. Basque Separatists in Spain. Any number of groups in Asia and Afrrica. Groups in America blowing up clinics or burning churches. Occasionally blowing a church up. There was even a movie about several little girls blown up in a church basement in the South. Basically people blowing other people up. Shooting one another, burning, hanging, dragging behind a truck you name it.
Now to me it did not matter that these people were far away. It did not matter that they often times looked and sounded different than I. They lived lives different from me. They were all people and what happened to them was terrible. Each and every time it happened it was sad.
So our reaction as a nation to the attack in Paris confuses me. Yes it was terrible and sad. Still it was nothing new. I would no more wish to be blown up along with several friends in a church basement by a man who hated my skin color (Honestly what upsets me is the thought I’m in a church!?!)….. Than I would want to be blown up in France by a man who hated the fact I did not believe as he did. These incidents are separated by decades, thousands of miles, and ideologies but the results blood and death the same.
So I don’t understand why in this case we are losing our minds, losing our way.
I don’t fear the terrorists. Terrorists are in essence criminals. In the world I grew up in they’ve always been a fact of life. No what I think is far more dangerous is my fellow country men and women’s reaction to terrorists. It would seem if the terrorists say jump my nations response Is…. SIR! Yes sir. How high and would you like us to #$%$ in our pants as well sir?

These poor liberal wh*res will say anything for attention.
people who feel insecure, because their primitive belief system is challenged often lash out. you literally just proved that deep down you know she’s right, and it scares you because you dont want to change your world view, and change is scary especially for children, or people with the minds of children…
I so agree with you, she is the perfect example of your analysis, but like all Hollywood types they are simply attention wh*res.
Mikey, keep your psychobabble, She is playing the liberal meat whistle just to garner favor from the left.
I have always been very comfortable in my own mind, letting idiots like this Canadian babble just proves liberalism is a mental disorder.
Look closely at yourself.
