How can people be so brutal with refugees, really?

Post Reply New Topic

The developing world is suppose to add 1.2 billion people in the next fifteen years alone, and many more billions in the next 60 years.

Syrian refugees are a pebble in the ocean.

There will be pressure to move billions of African and Asian people into Europe.

Bluntly put, we're afraid of them.

It isn't really about "How many ISIS are hiding in the ranks of refugees??" Oh, yes, there's that to fear...

But the real fear is much, much larger.

Cultural flux is the story of human history. Waves of refugees (one wonders what all those people that crossed the Bering Strait land bridge were running from), waves of conquerors... It's basically all the same thing. They come, they bring their culture with them.

And no one wants to lose their culture. Conquerors get to force theirs on the conquered. Refugees try to hang onto theirs, while hosts feel threatened by that, and naturally so. Because cultural flux happens, and no one wants to lose their culture.

Dominant groups (America and Western Europe) have even more to lose. Not just culture, but primacy. That's even scarier.

My suggestion?? Cultural flux is the story of human history. Either be kind, extend a hand, learn the language, and flow with it...

...or stop pussyfooting around, build walls, and openly declare that you're willing to kill old women and little kids.

Make peace. Or make war. One way or the other, stop f*****g around.

Put them in camps, keep the gates closed, and when it becomes safe in their country, send them back.

I think there should be some sort of camps they can go to, whether it's in the UK or Germany or anywhere, where they are warm and fed and everything, and are given work to do inside the camp, like farming or whatever, and no torture, and the children are safe and even schooled. It won't be the best education or the best housing, but it will at least keep them safe, warm and fed until it is safe to go back to their own country. OK this may cost the UK or whatever other countries they go to money still because of food and stuff, but it won't be as bad as them taking over our economy and leaving no room for us British people. It will be the fairest thing to do.

OK I am probably being unrealistic, but there are braindead pricks that run this country and seem to think that everybody's rich just because they are, and that everybody on job-seekers can find a job within a week even though more and more foreign people are entering the UK each month and are taking up all the jobs. When I went in Tesco the other day, nearly all the workers I saw and heard were foreign, and I've been applying endlessly to Tesco and just get turned down each time.

All pro-immigration idealists posting from the U.S, why don't you go on vacation to Malmö in Sweden for a week and spend some time in the "culturally enriched" areas, then come back here and share your experience.

Until then, I don't consider you eligible to have an opinion on this subject.

If you want to know ask the Australians and British they'll tell you (both countries treat foreigners something awful to the point BBC can't even spin it good).

How many of these refugees are actually fleeing the war in Syria? If it wasn't the fact that we started this war then I wouldn't feel so bad not like we'd actually that tho but a good portion of these people are just economic migrants and the simple fact is that we can't support these people. There are 7 billion people in the world right now, probably 2 billion at least would move to the west at the drop of the hat if given the chance. We wouldn't be raising these people up, they would be bringing us down. We can't save the world, we can't sustain the insanity we have going on right now. I don't really care to sacrifice my standard of living, I'm struggling as it is so the thought of things getting worse doesn't make me want to help them do it. To me immigration is all about integration, creating enclaves and ethnic ghettos doesn't help anyone. Multicultural is a sham, if you move to a country then you are joining another culture and should be expected to respect their values and way of life because if you didn't then why did you move here in the first place? Demographic shocks should probably be avoided.

The Syrian civil war and increasing world population aside there is yet another bit of cheery news. If the global warming based predictions many climatologists have made concerning the degration of the equatorial zone for agriculture and cattle raising come true, even partially, truly huge numbers of people will be dislocated.

The primary path used is by land and or short sea transits. The path in the americas, south to north, is easy to see and already well used. Looking at at map I would guess Europe is going to be swamped from Africa, The Middle East, Southwest Asia, and possibly including a significant flow from the Indian Subcontinent. I do not know what will happen further east as the northern countries there have no modern precedent for taking in refugees.

There are a lot of chicken littles out there.
