Yet its considered arrogant, " not PC " or somehow inappropriate ...so I just keep quiet and then something like Syria happens and suddenly people like Hurlshot are asking valid questions like " maybe if they had jobs " but what we should be saying is " its because they not like Western countries " Its not hard to understand this or see why the West is dominant in most parts of the world. And its not because the West is " white people " or " Clever than everyone else " ...this is not about racial superiority. The West learnt in the last 300 years the importance of maintaining things like governmental institutions, human rights and the importance of a Democracy ,,,,and the West understands the importance of a free market and how it can be used to drive an economy. The rest of world can and should follow the West...we would have much less issues in the world Yet people seem reluctant on these forums to gogive the West the credit it deserves ....strange ? 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Using children as a ticket for materialist oppurtunity is objectively abhorrent and warrants the wrath of gods. I haven't had coffee yet this morning, so excuse the language. No worries your response seemed normal for such an emotional topic. I prefer honest feedback on this whole refugee topic, we don't need you to think you have to be PC. For me I really want to know what your average European is thinking...and there have been some very interesting points made. At times frustration can come across as Islamaphobia which I think is unfair as you should be able to say things like " we don't want millions of Syrians coming to Europe " without feeling guilty Now I have read comments from 2133 about everyone playing your part as a good European member and how there is no real link between stories of Islam overtaking Europe and he does make some points I agree with But both of you seem to miss my original point, everyone ends up debating topics whether Europe culture can take in these millions of Syrians, can we ignore such human tragedy and how they may be extremists and now there are questions about security but end of the day the real debate should have been "Why are Gulf States like Qatar and Saudi not taking any refugees? The EU gets " divided" and majors in Hungary throw away EU flags and think the " EU is not what they expected. But this exactly what the EU stands for...all members are part of the good and bad times. But my original point would have been simple " the Trains can arrive in EU but they simply get turned away until the Gulf States take there share of responsibility" It is utterly incomprehensible that there are millions of people leaving the ME to relocate to the EU and they not being located in fellow Muslim countries....I'm sorry but that is just not right. And everyone just accepts it and assumes its now a EU problem "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Elerond Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I agree with Volourn. Why would anyone voluntarily be American. In my understanding from the article is that the Chinese people that do this are actually quite rich (in western standards) and America is quite good for rich people usually.

Darkpriest Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 well they do it for a couple of reasons. 1) If you are rich and still have poor connections with governing party, the birth control is harsh and this is one of workarounds. 2) Not all the funds of these rich people are "clean" (if they were they would be in good standing with governing parties) and it is easier for those people to hide these funds in US and Canada (Vancouver is prime example of this) 3) For financial crimes like money laundering, in US you get fines and maybe some jail time (depending on the scope) in China, you get a death sentence.

How time has changed. http://money.cnn.com/2015/08/23/news/china-us-surrogacy/ Its one of those stories when you actually read it you realize its not such a big deal.....you guys need to just learn to accept that people want to immigrate to the USA and there is nothing you can do to stop it so rather learn to embrace it And I'm fine with that. If someone wants to immigrate here, learn the language, assimilate into the culture then we are only to happy to welcome them. The problem is that too many refuse to do either. And they take it to the opposite extreme by demanding we adapt to them. If you want to have a new life in a new place holding yourself apart from you new neighbors and then arrogantly demanding comity all while self segregating only creates hostility.
