Azdeus Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Just what is needed what with all the refugees that need help here. And more fetish fuel for the neo-facists around eu. Great. Like they needed that. Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Meshugger Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Well that was fast. Apparently the hostage situation in the Bataclan theater has been resolved. French police have issued a gag-order about Bataclan....I don't like the sound of this.

Meshugger Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Now it has ended. Dismembered bodies found in the theater. Police apparently caught one terrorist (where? dunno) admitting that he was sent by ISIS. Oh, and the refugee camp in Calais is on fire.

Chilloutman Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 hmm expected Paris to be first - poor people I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktchong Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) European immigration policies are... foolish, inconsistent, insensible, and irrational. Among East Asians, (i.e., Chinese, Koreans and Japanese,) immigration to Europe is widely known as being extremely difficult. I know plenty of East Asians who are high-skilled scientists, engineers, university graduates, (and they are atheists and fairly Westernized,) have tried but were unable to immigrate to Europe. I have met and worked with plenty of them. The only Asians I know who have successfully immigrated to Europe (including my own sister) were Asian women who married into the countries. Yet the excessive immigration hurdles faced by East Asians in Europe are not uniformed across all different groups. Muslims, Arabs and Middle Easterners - who are also called "Asians" in Europe, IMO incorrectly and confusingly so - are welcomed into Europe without much immigration hurdles. So this is what East Asians think of Europe when the topic comes up in our discussions: Europe does not want high-skilled East Asians who are generally peacefully, do not make troubles, do not adhere to any teaching that encourages its followers to bombs or kills dozens or hundreds of people at a time, do not use sword - or guns and bombs - to spread a homicidal religion. Instead, Europe wants Muslims who have a religious agenda, want to immigrate but keep their own religious belief that does not mix well with European cultures, and want to convert Europe into Islamic when they have enough masses. I do not understand what Europe has been thinking, but I think their immigration policies are f---ed up.

Hurlshort Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 This is a terrible tragedy, and I hope they take down ISIS hard after this. But I'm also pretty amazed how quickly you folks turn this into a crusade against Islam. This had everything to do with a terrorist organization targeting France. The refugees are trying to get AWAY from these cretins. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hildegard Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) Nice job by Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, US and its western allies for providing loads of cash, weapons and equipment for all anti-Assad elements for a long period of time. But nobody in the public doesn't give a single **** how ISIS was created. The world without Saddam, Gadafi and soon Assad is a better world with democracy and freedom of choice.

The refugees are trying to get AWAY from these cretins. Second attack by Muslims in France in a year and you're amazed by that ? Hm, ok. But yeah, while this is fodder for people being at the least more suspicious of Muslims in their midst and their being some sort of fifth column or something, isn't based on solid footing. Concern about the refugees being a problem if you let them all in was valid before and is about as valid now - you just don't let every schmuck in. Not going to be a fun time for refugees, I guess.
