It is weird. I recently read an article. (no not a published study but referencing some)
As dogs are to wolves, such we are to big apes.
Pets can be learned tricks, follow direction. want to please. In the same sense, our faces changed to show more expression. better lip, eyebrow and such movement, and an overall friendlier face.
Instinct doesn't help you think. Being hairy and waving wildly around doesn't help you cooperate.
So compared to chimpansees, or gorillas or oran otans, we are domesticated. And i'm even willing to say that the pressure of godmaster watching, (real or in the mind) could be a trigger in our development.
And as i heard in a podcast. humans got the understanding to get high. We trick our body to release hormones to make happy and high or wild and such. We found time/method to simply pleasure. and that drove us. We are also very scared as a society for people that 'get pleasure out of evil'
So getting high being obedient made us rule the globe
Immigration from most countries is a cost. But indeed there are exceptions.
I don't oppose immigration, but half of Antwerp is now from outside heritage. It also explains why that city has an southern European unemployment rate.
Importing poverty has a cost on society. financially and morally.
It is those people that created the country. Syria is like Syria because of Syrians. Ethiopia is like Ethiopia because of Ethiopians. Afghanistan is like Afghanistan because of Afghans. And now they are running around here Changing a European Europe to a divided place. Where local rich have to give to poor foreigners.
The yezhidi's, they had a rough time. we-UN should have protected them.
i also dislike how we europeans consider our homes the place to be. everybody should come here and be safe because their homes are screwed. Libia not safe, so drop them in Spain. No, we are not automatically better, other countries are fine too.
it is like inviting hillbillies into a gated community, because gated communities are so good.
It is gated, because the rest of the world is a mess, but that is normal because it is their mess.
but children changed. children used to be part of use production side of the family. now children are the biggest consumers. and I even believe the richer you are the bigger the percentage gets your child will burn from the household budget.
as soon as we accept children to help more and assist I think they will get more value in western society
I have some ripple and eth. and they lost value since them. I just keep them. I don't use them for trade while they were developed for that purpose. so they failed....
it seems normal in an economy with excess money that money flows in useless expensive things.
and big governments printing money will create a outflow of money. either savings or to useless...
deedee you get the genuine and passionate delivered at home (except on Sundays) it is just a matter of price. Money wise that can be easily calculated.
the none-money things is a bit harder. but loyal and passionate is cheap :-) and easy
I think currently the third world rate is about 300 dollars a month. Vietnam/ bangladesh/ half of africa. plenty choice. 300 is without the feeding and shelter.(but the state could assist with that in time) . still a good bargain
I feel myself to be more expensive and cheaper at the same moment ;-)
Well the Israel area survived a big influx of migrants. and got taken over mostly by force. but also by money and opportunity.
For Europe you do miss the idea that a lot of muslims change to Westerners. So old fashioned heritage does get educated away, this equality and prosperity does ring a bell with a lot.
The problem is our own democratic based on rules. And the influx of foreigners with different viewpoints. some people are just happy to receive and live of the lowest bar we set in our society and waste their time with that.
I fully agree the idea of work permits only. I'm even willing to extend that to a paid 9 months visa in case you pay medical insurance on front and can show address of stay or money on the account. Maybe also demand an sortie plan like a plane ticket out. It is a bit what the Russians demands. Migrants in Europe have 6000+ euro to spend to get here. That is enough to cover plane, insurance and housing. Find a job and let them extend that visa. After some time they can buy in at other social securities, (unemployment, later pension rights, ....) for the duration of the stay here. And even later they can make prove of integration of change nationality.
I don't mind all these strangers, i don't like they get my nationality so cheaply and that i need to accept their culture is suddenly Belgian too. And that other cultures can be horrible idiotic and unbenificial.
Why would the republicans give the democrates 5 million extra voters. (not that a lot of them are in the rust belt) but some are in battle states. Shouldn't they take some more effort to appeal to these people first?
Can the dreamers be used as a bargaining chip for foreign policy? I don't think Mexico and such want their people back. As the parents would have to go back, there would already be an increase of people on the job market there.
