On a perilous journey across the seas and europe, on foot, while you stay back and chill. Most people don't seem to share your views, and instead select b).

Staying is worse. If it's not, then the argument that the people need to be taken is contradicted. And (b) is contradicted since the family would still follow.

There is a reason why thousands of years of evolution got us to believe women and children first.

Please reread. The options were to either stay in the neighboring countries (Lebanon and Turkey, which both still hold the vast majority of all refugees ever to leave Syria) or to travel to Europe, North America or wherever. Not to stay in Syria.

So, they're not refugees then. Gotcha.

Um, say what?

Stuck in Syria is what makes them refugee candidates. If, like in your scenarios, they don't stay, they're not refugee candidates.

By now we've sidetracked big time. Let's get back to talking about how loads of majorly buff youngsters are somehow refugees while women and children are somehow tough enough to fight ISIS by themselves.

Here's an example of something where having data would support your argument. Just saying 'i've seen pictures' doesn't really cut it. Do you have demographics on refugees showing that fit young men are overrepresented?

And if so, can you discount other explanations such as that maybe they're just more able to travel (coco) or perhaps that they're better at getting out of danger?

If your response to these questions is 'look it up', then it's a shitargument. We don't know where you got your information, if it's credible, why you believe it, or more importantly why we should believe it.

I can't give what I'm referencing specifically because it's stuff I see in passing that I don't bookmark. But really quick googles yield these

Should these be persuasive to you? I don't know. Probably not. You can find a whole bunch of MSM stuff that says it's not true. You can find holes in the arguments presented.

Definition of refugee

: one that flees; especially : a person who flees to a foreign country or power to escape danger or persecution

A Syrian person that fled to Lebanon or Turkey is very much a refugee. Who exactly are you claiming isn't a refugee? Where should who stay?

By now I've realized how wrong I am and want to change the subject. Let's get back to talking about how loads of majorly buff youngsters are somehow refugees while women and children are somehow tough enough to fight ISIS by themselves.

I just explained to you why a majority of the asylum-seekers you see in for example central Europe are able-bodied younger men. Theier parents, wives and children are in Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan.

I never realized the hoax was so intense. They're bending you over backwards when they tell you that a Syrian refugee that is in Lebanon or Turkey needs asylum in Germany or Sweden.
