Dammit....you right, its not the same thing. Your ancestors really didnt care about refugees, okay you off the historical hook in this case

Interestingly enough I was watching Al-Jazeera last night and a show called " The Stream " and this topic was being discussed by 3 guests. Thats why I posted this article, it wasnt something I was aware of. Anyway their was a representative from Denmark explaining the Danish position and he said that Denmark never said the Syrian refugees would become permanent citizens as its the Danish official policy that when a country is no longer a war zone then people need to go home. That was the agreement and as Zora mentioned Syria is not a war zone anymore (Idlib is the last province that is a Syrian rebel sanctuary )....but it has no economy and I cant see this changing as both Iran and Russia have no strategy, interest or resources to rebuild the country. But international pressure needs to be put on them because this was their " non-Western " solution to the civil war in Syria so the question of all the Syrian refugees shouldn't become a burden for places like the EU? Gorthfuscious !!!! Im shocked....where is that famous Danish patriotism that led to your Viking ancestors being the first to really reach northern America ? Of course you Danes like refugees ....that is why you pillaged and terrorized Europe for hundreds of years, you guys contributed towards the refugee crisis for centauries

Did you use Mods when you played it.....and more specifically did you utilize adult mods? Its has been scientifically proven that its impossible for any Elder Scroll game to be boring with adult mods

Where can I get these free, cheap sexual experiences? I always end up paying

The Covax program is a good idea but its designed for countries without money or governments that claim they dont have money. Its a terrible way to achieve " herd immunity" but its the most effective way if you dont have resources For example in Africa the majority of countries immediately signed up to it and SA was a big sponsor and supporter of it but we have also ordered our own vaccines and we have a company that is able to produce J&J. We are the only African country where the private sector made this investment. The biggest problem with the Covax program in Africa is its a round robin system and they allocate vaccines on a per country basis But there are over 1 billion people in Africa and Covax can only give a few million per country and then move onto the next country .....imagine how long that will take to reach " herd immunity " at the current rate. We talking about years before you will vaccinate 60-70 % of the population of each African country that signed up for Covax. Hopefully the supply of vaccines will increase

No need to worry, I learnt years ago from work I did in the ME that when you are in a country where freedom of speech isnt respected you must be very careful what you say in public or to people that live their

No its not touchy at all, Taiwan is not part of China. Its a global fact and most of us dont care what China thinks we should or shouldn't say in public outside of China....its all part of that elusive, pesky thing that doesnt exist in China, its called Freedom of Speech

Of course its an independant country and no amount of CCP propaganda and revisionist history is going to change that John Cena's nauseatingly, obsequious apology and back peddling is embarrassing but I suppose he is doing it for his career and the huge Chinese market he doesnt want the Fast and Furious franchise to lose out on But still, where is his integrity?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mare_of_Easttown This is an excellent series and highly recommended, its from HBO which is generally a good thing Its a murder mystery but the characters and their realistic personalities make it absolutely unmissable

I did play them the first time I played Morrowind so I am happy to skip them this time

Yes, that I can easily believe because those jobs exist in sectors that women want to work in

Thanks, once I have finished ELEX I will buy this game. I miss killing Zombies and other post-apocalyptic creatures

Dark how many women in Poland are brick layers or work in construction? If its like SA then very few, this is SEXIST and another example of the patriarchy !!! We need to pass laws to ensure we see proper representation and transformation in this sector

Why am I not surprised with the lack of efficacy from the Chinese vaccines, 50 % or less as the article mentions But I dont see the issue with it only lasting 6 months and needing another jab because my understanding is 6 months is normal for all vaccines .....or rather we dont have enough definitive data to understand how long your Corona anti-bodies created by any vaccine will last?

How would you compare it to Dying Light if you have played it ?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1259420/Days_Gone/ Has anyone played this game on Console, its just been released on Steam and Epic and it looks excellent. It reminds me of Dying Light and could be my zombie killing fix until DL2 is released

As I always maintain, drones really can be beneficial

You make some good points and I agree with several of them But we cannot or shouldn't underestimate how the initial immigration policy of 2015 increased the support for anti-immigration parties and their influence on the real survival of the EU. I agree that racists have always existed in the EU and euro-skepticism and anti-EU sentiment has been around for decades but this was different The frustration from many people in many EU countries due to being told by the EU, " you must accept immigrants in the interests of diversity and human rights " ( or similar arguments ) led to many people who are not racists or right wing simply rejecting it and voting against the status quo because they felt unfettered immigration was leading directly to an erosion of EU culture and identity. Whether we agree with this sentiment or not the voting success of anti-immigration parties demonstrates this is a real view on the ground in the EU Just take this forum and ask our EU forum members how they feel about immigration to the EU and was the implementation of it in 2015 something they support ? And this forum has got very few racist or right wing members IMO And finally I am not opposed to immigration at all especially when it comes to the EU requirement you mentioned for certain skills. But it must be managed properly and cannot be forced down on all EU countries

The initial policy that Germany would welcome 1.5 million immigrants and this then changed to suddenly hundreds of thousands of immigrants, outside of the initial offer from Germany, arrived on EU borders with expectations they would automatically become citizens https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/oct/08/refugee-crisis-germany-creaks-under-strain-of-open-door-policy Also expecting all EU counties to accept immigrants lead to the rise of anti-immigration and right wing parties that nearly lead to countries like France leaving the EU under the control of bigots like Le Penn. This also was one of the primary reasons for Merkel stepping down this year https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-46020745 I am genuinely surprised you would ask " what mistakes " because the immigration policy implemented by Germany in 2015 was a disaster for the stability of the EU

Just on Merkel, I am a huge supporter of her and Germany. They have demonstrated that a country and its people can recreate their image and their identity after a very violent and dark past. If you look at Germany now compared to how the world viewed them after WW2 they are the perfect example of how any country can become a wealthy and admired country through political will, Democratic values and sustainable economic policies I think Merkel has done an excellent job as the German chancellor and nowadays Germany is considered one of the most influential countries in the EU and they did this without military hegemony The only " mistake " Merkel made was the original, well meaning but disastrous policy around the uncontrolled immigration policy around Syrian and other immigrants But this has now been addressed and immigration to the EU is now better managed

I have decided to play ELEX as my next game, I have very fond memories of Piranha Bytes due to the excellent and memorable Gothic series so I am excited to see how they did with this new game

Im impressed, well done for getting your jab. And you and Gfted1 were saying you were not in a rush or keen to get a vaccine so this is good news

Much of the sanctions against Russia are not just about Ukraine, its about human rights abuses and illegal activities like assassinations on UK soil https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/uk-sanctions-russians-saudis-magnitsky-powers-71631946 https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-council-cyber-sanctions-russia-china-hackers/ And never forget the important Magnitsky legislation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnitsky_Act

Its good to have an open diplomatic relationship with Russia and other countries that disrupt global peace and sustainability Russia is an important country and sits on the UN security council, no country is unequivocally Russophobic. Governments in most Democracies object and have issues with Russia's constant illegal activities like the assassination of Russian dissidents in the UK and their state sponsored hacking similar to the SolarWinds example So the sanctions and criticism towards Russia is not unwarranted but self-inflicted by Putins choices around certain geopolitics decisions
