Yeah been on the news a lot lately how are Europeans going to deal with what is a global issue esp in Australia but they seem to have a different approach.
On the one hand, the humanatarians are saying we have to help them as so many are drowning but others are asking the question WHY?
What do our forum members think?
Should we?

A. Supply them with boats to make the crossings safely and then send them back
B. Keep picking up the survivors and then send them back.
c. Save them and welcome them into our overcrowded countries and try and ask them nicely to intergrate.
D. other options?

Columnists in the tabloid press in Britain have been calling for these migrants to be treated in the same way that we treat cockroaches. Truly the language of Der Stuermer in the 1930s.

Europe needs to wise up and not encourage such people to come over in the first place. Christian-killing Third Worlders are not what Europe needs.

Things to consider:
1. Gaddafi offered to stop the Malthusian mudflood. We took him out.
2. Camp of the Saints was shockingly prophetic.

No more muslim immigrants - that one is simple. Get rid of the malcontents that don't want to accept the culture of their new immigrant country - that one is a little bit more difficult. France is moving in the right direction. Egalite Fraternite Liberte No more headscarves worn by children in school.

That seems to be an idea whose time has come - in other services, as well.

“Christian bakers, florists and photographers should not be punished for refusing to participate in a homosexual marriage!”

I expect my turn to come around soon - after all, I'm left-handed, and, as is well-known, lefties are sinister.

Regards,
John

Dear Johnslat

Are you as much on the Left as the Party, though? Then you'd find real discrimination levelled against you. Secret Service agents following you, violating your right to privacy. Possibly even arrested under false charges, maybe given the electric chair. That's real oppression. Not being unable to book a floral arrangement for a government enforced ceremony.

Where is all the ruckus about protecting the rights of Communists, then?


With Communist greetings

Sasha
