"If you decline to acknowledge what a man wants, you’ll find it hard to understand what he does. The immense and destructive crackdown underway in Turkey now, with at least 10,000 Turks taken into custody and as many as 100,000 others dismissed from their positions — not only soldiers, but judges, civil servants, police and academics — isn’t an end-game. It’s a beginning."
The numbers is the one - you have noticed that he situation is changing over there too - the higher the numbers.....Another one is the level of PC.
I agree about the security forces, the police - yours is trigger happy while ours are cowards. I wish there could be something in-between.
If Europe had remained the Europe it was 10, 20 years ago, the US could not be compared at all. I have stayed for some extended periods of time in the US, I liked it, but would never be able to live there
Wow godd to see that you have opened your eyes to some truths, you are still idealising the US, though I do agree with you that there is a difference between the two, however, I believe the difference is due to other factors not better assimiliation - I used to believe the situation was better in the US, however, in light of what has been going on there the last say 5 years, I have realized I was wrong.
Fair enough to send back the new comers. However, the EU nationals may be much more beneficial for the UK than your friends in your former colonies in Africa, ME, Asia....
I just heard about the attack. Unfortunately, I don' think Obama and the European leaders are capable of doing anything else.
We can see articles in the media about the intelligence agencies knowing about a number of terrorists here in Europe, but no one does anything. PC is so strong that being tolerant to those hat want to destroy our society, culture, want us to convert and accept their "religious laws" is more important than making sure our countries are protected. Why on earth do we have NATO and we can't stop and divert more and more potential terrorists from coming? Lack of determination.
In the meantime, Japan's government uses blanket surveillance of its muslim population, some of hose affected sued the government but the Supreme Court did not rule in their favour, what they said was: it may not be fair, however, in these times of terrorism, Japan cannot allow not doing it.
That was a bit before Macedonia closed the border - it was a result of Austria's decision to take in not sure if it was 100 or 500 per day - so there was a domino effect downwards in the Balkan countries.
I am afraid for my daughter and for all other women and children here more, not so much for myself. Buying a gun is not easy in Europe
Not true, I am afraid. ALmost 1 mil of those military aged men passed through on their way to greener pastures, however, some stayed, some were forced unto us by Germany, Austria....We have seen immigrants violence, even the murder of a policeman by a Paki with german passport. Maybe you have read that the numbers are low, but there are only 2 mil of us.
Sure, but none of those mentioned multiply like muslims (did you read what Erdgan said about the duty to multiply?), besides non of those are aggressive and insist even on the others to behave like them.
What I said before is true - being born into a country/nation is of no importance to them!
Hate to disappoint you but being from a country does not mean anything - muslims still have tribal culture, it means more to be a muslim than to be of a certain nationality - why do you think they still address each other as "brothers and sisters"?
I have Pur but could not find anything to shake what the numbers say all over the word - the fewer - the fewer problems, with the numbers rising, the demands start, the sense of entitlement grows etc.
And I am not saying there aren't any that do integrate, but their lives are made more difficult by the politically correct "whites"
"the European Union is not primarily about free trade for mutual benefit, but about political integration and economic harmonisation, in which free trade is just the reward for going along with the political ambitions of Brussels....
Is leaving the European Union with its plans for ever-greater harmonisation leading to a political, fiscal, and social union really “desertion”? Is the desire to be an independent, sovereign country, yet still participate in free trade with some of the world's largest economies, cherry-picking? As Murray Rothbard has pointed out, “genuine free trade doesn’t require a treaty,” and if it does not even require a treaty, it is quite clear that it certainly does not require a political union that harmonises away the competition responsible for many of the benefits of free trade.
This, however, seems lost on many politicians and bureaucrats in the EU, as well as many of its intellectual supporters at universities and newspapers across Europe, even when they did make the effort to mention the common market as a major benefit of remaining a member of the union."
I don't either. Some of us just prefer being very sure before we "want" to actually speak "face to face" - which may seem kind of threatening. At least I am like that - writing first, then maybe chat on gmail, then, if, skype.
As for the fake profiles - there are real men here, I met two in person, an Englishman, a pompous university professor, and a great Belgian - everything he had said in profile turned out to be true, unfortunately, I screwed things up....guess I was not ready, but we are still in touch as friends.
I have to admit that afterwards I turned down a couple of meetings with men, in person, I got cold feet.
In short, that man from Iceland is probably for real, you lucky girl
some here told me that the will of people cannot/will not be ignored in the UK, the same people even said that such a thing can only happen in my country or other Eastern European countries, but no the democratic UK:
Can you see it happening? Isn't this stalling to trigger article 50 a sign? It seems to me that the more time passes, the more threats from the EU, bankers etc. are expressed, the remain camp will get louder and louder and the Parliament will use its "remain majority" (this is suggested in the above letter by an academic) and the UK leave camp will be history.
Pur, because we are here, we do experience the EU absurdities!
Why do you think that when we point out the long-term aspect we are irrational? Not everything is about the money - the people of Britain wanted their country back, and that is the point.
I do share some doubts about Article 50 being envoked, could Puting be right when he questions whether the UK politicians will actually go forward with the divorce.
Tony Blair did not want to rule out another referendum, can it happen?
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this news from Austria: the highest court rules that the presidential elections will have to be repeated:
It is not fair either to talk about the Europeans as a single group, we are not. The Europeans were the first to settle in the States though, right?
I competely agree with your statement on taking advantage of benefits without earning them. It is completely insane of our politicians to equate someone who has never contributed anything to someone who has. Well, with the immigrants claiming asylum it is even worse - they are the ones in a better situation than the natives in terms of getting gvt. help.
It is interesting how Denmark tries to cope with that:
Other European countries should do the same, too, then the word would spread that you actually have to work to live and the numbers would definitely go down, just like the number of African immigrants to China:
As for the third point - multi culti working - in 2010 Merkel herself said it doe snot work in Europe. Whether it works or not is irrelevant, and I fail to see why the "liberals" are so dead set on claiming that every society has to be multi culti, otherwise it is no good???? Well, not every society only the Western world.
We have seen that a homogenous society/country, such as these in Europe, have worked more than well, so why insist on something that has not worked here?
And your last point about non-Arab spouses: there isn't an imbalance of genders in Europe that we absolutely need Arab men for European women, on the contrary, this immigration of men from ME has created a gender imbalance in Sweden, read an article about it about a week or two ago. Additionally, non-Arab women convert, their children have to be Muslim as their father is - it is must for them, what does this create? Just like that imam from Turkey said: we will make babies with their women and take over the land.
p.s. I have spent some time in Texas and have seen that everyone is very aware of races, that the mingling stops at a certain point. But even if it doesn't - it is the States, the country that was created by destroying the native population and immigrants taking over. Europe is different...unless the purpose of this ivasion is to destroy the natives....again
Ah dear Pur, America has become great because of the type of immigrants it got in the first place.
I am not sure why it is so hard to see the differences between what is going now in Europe and what went on when the Europeans settled in the States.
Even if multi culti works for you (which I do not believe, based on what I saw in the States and heard from friends), our European cultural diversity is enough for us, there is no need for adopting/adapting to some backwards customs the current immigrants bring.
RE: shooting in Germany
Who has been wrong?Wha would you people do if Breivik didn;t exist
