There's still a huge gray area. People form a culture, which is an expression of rituals, ethics and morals, which in turn form the laws of the land they are on and later creates the nation with major political movements and finally the civilization. Where does one thing end and the other begin? I am not sure. But atleast by conducting evaluation based on individuals through interviews and what not, a nation or a region has controll on what kind person should be let in. Speaking of which: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34356758 I wonder when this wave is going to end and how.

All those people doing cyber bdsm must be feeling confused right now.

That makes it sound like they are the useful idiots in a much bigger scheme.

BruceVC: what does the mayor of the town mean when he speaks of "needs"? Video-games? Access to HBO? I do not speak politically correct

This is unreal. Pokemon is making killer toddlers? This what Sarkeesian and Quinn went to UN with? It starts to be about ****ing time gaming journalism to wake the **** up and take their collective heads out of their collective asses and call out these two for what they are. For the bonus round: http://twitter.com/ibbibby/status/647458631709908993/photo/1 ...and we have come full circle. Supremé!

The century of the Self should be shown in classrooms. It strikes like a pierced diamond through the narrative of brainless ideologues.

"I can think of literally nothing more privileged than being able to ask the UN to stop people to make fun of you on the Internet" https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/3mbvky/i_can_think_of_literally_nothing_more_privileged/

For once, i am quite happy that the UN has no power. This is so surreal.

^You haven't happen to have watched the documentary series "The power of nightmares" recently? If not i appologize, but your point seems to echo what is said there.

The post is a placeholder that i can copy/paste in the future. I am that lazy. Stream-lining the content for maximum post/thread-ratio. Carry on.

"B-b-but video games re-enforce gender binarism/stereotype/violence/racism/xenophobia/misogyny" **** OFF. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO JUSTIFY ARTISTIC FREEDOM. EVER.

On that I think almost any rational being can agree. It's just that the current rate doesn't really meet the standards of what I would call "mass immigration". Closing our borders will not solve this issue either, we need to help them help themselves. I agree half-way. - Strict border control should be enforced - Immigration should not be substitute for low birth rate - Path to citizen should be harsh, but fair - Worker-visas should be enough for the industry to manage worker pitfalls, but no akin of H1B1-visas like in the the US - Military action against human traffickers - More foreign aid and better coordination with already established organisations like UNCHR - Leave the middle east alone and stop the proxy wars already

Gamergate is mentioned in this video. The type of response is pretty much what you expect.

Unbelievable. After a whole year of this, they are still spewing the same BS.

No, bro. In fact, it's you who has to prove how fulfilling your ****ing obligations with regards to basic international law (cf. Geneva Convention on Refugees), not to mention showing a modicum of humanity is going to "radically change the entire demographics in Europe", let alone the rest of the tripe about the end of Yurop, Allahu Akbars taking over the world and so on, that you have been spouting lately. Take your time, I'll be here. My screen is fine, by the way. You sure it's not your own bile? Bro, why so hostile with all that moral indignation and cursing? You as well as anyone should know that what you're doing is effective as two repellent magnets. First, if this was only or mostly women, children and the elderly from Syria supplied by the UNCHR, no would argue against this, but when you hear that around 1) 70-77% of them are men in their best fighting age and 2) several refugee centers and other syrian refugees are complaining that Europe is being had because about half of them are really from north africa and other arab countries you probably wish to put on the brakes and check things more thouroughly and send each and every man of fighting capability back. Secondly, this whole situation of suffering is perpetuated by EU and Merkel for being complete idiots or simply downright evil when they claim that every Syrian is welcomed in, all while there are about 30 000 human traffickers in Turkey that suddenly experience trouble to handle the sudden surge in demand. What we see is only the beginning, once the world knows that everyone (well mostly everyone) is welcomed into Europe. Then we will have quite the trouble on our hands.

The mutilation of female genetalia and thinking that death penalty for apostacy is morally paramount will not help to create a more open and welcoming society. Theo Van Gogh, Charlie Hebdo, Lars Vilks and the 1400 raped girls in Rotherham are slowly being normalized with the people that are already here.

When people no longer feel like that they can rely on each other, basic instincts of tribal survival kicks in: Men will simply use violence as an acceptable means instead of democratic institutions, they will be more likely to kill people outside the tribe and most certainly rape the women that they do not feel belong to 'their' tribe. With the looming economic downturn around the corner, things will simply not get better: Source: http://uk.reuters.com/article/2015/08/09/uk-sweden-grenades-idUKKCN0QE09F20150809 Source: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/sweden/7278532/Jews-leave-Swedish-city-after-sharp-rise-in-anti-Semitic-hate-crimes.html Source: http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/6527/migrants-rape-germany Source: http://www.boston.com/news/education/higher/articles/2007/08/04/the_downside_of_diversity/ (A Harvard study on the matter) But that's just the situation right now. We can always look at history, like Lebanon, Sudan, the Balkans, the split of India into India, Bangladesh and Pakistan just to name a few. Personally, i do not believe that mass immigration will solve human suffering that much: There has to be other options available instead of altruism our own societies into oblivion. I know it is selfish and too much to ask for example for France being the homeland of the French people as we know it and similar to other countries, but that's what i wish for. So without dwelving too much into dwindling birth rates of the native populations in corresponding to immigrant ones, the globalization of labor in contrast to capital and the irony of multi-culture creating a global mono-culture, i will leave you with a jovial video of this situation. You go girls! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBnXCotdkaE P.S. Please do not try to refute the sources, instead please come up with your own sources or logical arguments that strengthens your claims. That's a more interesting conversation. P.P.S. Even Dalai Lama agrees with me. Source: https://www.rt.com/news/315467-dalai-lama-oxford-speech/

You forgot practice witchcraft. You silly willy. The next thing you know you will be claiming that worship of a Moon God isn't already witchcraft. Numbersboy: Chill already, your righteous fumes are clouding my screen. It is you who have prove how radically changing entire demographics in Europe with people from the third world in the name helping is the best outcome out of all options.

Selfish and wrong? Yeah, its so selfish to protect ones country, living standards, health care system and security. Lets give it all up for the sake of humanity. If thats what you believe then its your duty to give up all the luxury and the stuff you don't really need to donate it to the poor refugees. Help them. You can start right now! And, yes. Sorry to break it to you, but it is wrong to leave people to die to protect your living standards. Deal with it. lol

Not all religious icons are equal. Mohammed's life is much better known and he was a warlord in his time. Much of what ISIS is doing, is exactly what Mohammad was doing in his time - including decapitations, destruction of anything "pagan" etc. Liberals need to outgrow the childish manner of treating all religions as the same thing as a way of taking the moral high ground. Most religious texts are open ended and can be interpreted in many different ways, but the Quran, and Islam in general is an extremely militant religion, has been since its creation. It was stopped by endless wars at the gates of Europe, and the downfall of its empires - not because anything about it changed, or because it was internally pushed aside by new ideologies like Christianity in Europe. Europeans may like to think they've outgrown religion, but muslims don't and treat that very idea as an insult. The only thing worse to a muslim believer than a Christian is an atheist and there is no way any of them can, in good conscience, like that sort of liberal, sex drenched,"gay rights" pride parade society. I'm not even much of a believer and I don't like where Europe is heading, so I can only imagine what they think. This leads to the creation of a parallel society where the entire immigrant class socializes internally and is closed off to the rest of the society and vice versa. When they're a few hundred thousand in a society of millions, you can say that's irrelevent, but when there are millions of them living an entirely separate existence it doesn't take a genius to see that that can't lead anywhere good. Conservatives need to stop generalizing all Muslims as the same. If that were true, why would all these Muslims be fleeing ISIS? My rolling of eyes over the dig at Mohammad has nothing to do with liberalism and everything to do with historical context. Judging a 7th Century figure by modern standards is weak. It's funny, because a liberal group was just protesting Junipero Serra gaining sainthood in much the same way that you are going after Muhammad. Not acknowledging how religions adapt and change to modern times is short-sighted. Exactly. Muslims need to learn to accept homosexuality, transgenderism, fight against rape culture, drink alcohol, do drugs, listen metal, appriciate porn, celebrate secularism, fight for feminism, denounce the traditional familty unit, deconstruct art, deconstruct masculinity and deconstruct their identities. Just like the rest of us.

So how much should a nation take in? Where is the limit? What is the end game?

Hellooooo Geocities. The only thing missing is a guestbook, a visitor counter and the pageunderconstruction.gif.

Isn't this what the EU has always been about? They had a good thing going with the EEC (straight-forward free trade agreement). Opening borders to allow freedom of movement for citizens between European countries could have been achieved with a similar treaty. But instead, they established the EU as a political union - and (unlike the US) one without proper democratic processes to guarantee representation, and without a constitution to guarantee liberty. ...What could possibly go wrong? Decisions like these are usually the result of unanimous decisions between the states. But judging by my Facebook-feed, people are more appaled by what they percieve as hateful opinions by people they thought are their friends. It's mezmering to witness how internet-friendships fall apart like that.

The only type of Islam that can work in a western society is Sufism, since it reflects on inner and esoteric paths to God. Everything else is just different degrees of worshipping the antics of a warlord who ordered executions and had multiple wives of very questionable age. Not exactly a guy of great virtue. But that's for another thread to discuss.

As for the video, I don't see how you can be impressed. She's a demagogue, as we both know that what she actually means is "French women for the magical 10-15% of hot French men", right? lel, i have to give you that.
