Axl owns dexter Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 So I found this to be interesting. https://www.yahoo.com/news/turkey-threatens-send-europe-15-000-refugees-month-103814107.html Quote Turkey's Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu has threatened to "blow the mind" of Europe by sending 15,000 refugees a month to EU territory, in an intensifying dispute with the bloc. So Turkey is literally threatening Europe with more refugees. I find this interesting because Turkey is implying that more refugees means something bad for Europe. The left has said for years diversity is a strength and these refugees enrich the societies they go to. So is Turkey really threatening Europe with something that will 'enrich' them or do they truly believe more migrants means something bad for Europe? Discuss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estranged_85 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Enrich? haha please... wish the evil would stop in the middle east ofc.. but NO, more immigrants will not enrich. Just have take a look at my own country (which is/were the best country in the world).. some places i can't even recognize anymore. riots and burning cars, rapists etc.. I'm lucky that i live in Northern Sweden were it's calm and nice. not so calm in the southern region anymore, i don't feel like walking alone late in suburbs of Stockholm or places in Malmö or Gothenburg. feel sorry for those who come to our country and actually do good and try to make an effort when there's so many idiots that came with them. Sweden allready taken in too much immigrants past few years. We have them packed even in hotels,camping villages and cruise ships because there's no room for anyone.

I've heard Swedish death metal and black metal, so don't try and tell us that everything is roses and you historical Swedes are unified, well adjusted products of the "best country in the world."(sic) Im a white person with a euro centric heritage and cultural perspective and I have rioted and burned stuff too. Lots of us have (this is a GNR fan forum don't forget). I believe my work for liberation has enriched culture greatly. Like maybe not more then occasionally dressing up in medieval clothing, but close. The rapist comment is beneath you, I'm sure. You, like every one, knows that rapists sadly come from all backgrounds. War and intolerance are major factors that create refugees. Hint: interpersonal fear and ignorance will not stop the war machine. In fact its a necessary factor to let the war machine continue unimpeded. It is, I will grant you, completely unacceptable that you should be with out your cruise ships temporarily so that other human beings might be able to stay alive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Glow Inc. Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 There are plenty of similar testimonies coming from Sweden.... Maybe it would be worth listening to what these people are saying instead of simply shutting them off because "racism" ?

Padme Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Paris yet again, attack at Orly airport. It seems to be a case of a lone wolf. Nobody killed except the terrorist. Apparently no passangers injured either. Still a mess at the airport and the city on high alert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me when i say i don't mind helping people that are in need. Or have anything against other cultures. English is not my native language (ofc) and i try to explain without misunderstanding, i guess i failed. What i meant was that my country taken on a bit more than they can handle which causes segregation. I don't care about some cruiser ships but my point is that there so many refugees that they can not have a normal staying or an apartment because there isn't any more room. And this cost so many billions for the government that School, hospital and other welfare are greatly cut down. It's not like i made this shit up just to bash on some poor immigrants and also believe me when i say this; There were NOT any burning cars or throwing rocks at police men, ambulance or fire department on a daily basis a couple of years ago. It's escalated into something very bad. And the rapist thing.. Yes rapist come from different backgrounds ofc, but i find it strange when the rape-crime stats rises up to a crucial state the last couple years. And that gang rape have become so usual, even towards men raping other men. Or that sexual harassment rates are sky high at festivals etc.. that wasn't the case before in Sweden. I didn't say it never happened but not even close to what it is now. I also wrote: " feel sorry for those who come to our country and actually do good and try to make an effort when there's so many idiots that came with them" Eh oh i didn't try to tell anyone that it's all roses in Sweden? i said that my country were the best country in the world ( economy,welfare,schools,,jobs, crime rate etc) And anyone who give me the "you're racist BS" shut the f**k up. I'm certainly not. It's just that the country i grown up in you hardly didn't even had to lock your car and you weren't afraid of walking alone at night.

Mr Erdoğan is in the midst of a closely-fought referendum campaign in which he is asking voters to grant him sweeping new powers that would potentially let him stay in office until 2029. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certainly not. I apprettiate you taking time to respond and I read at is being a constructive response. I think I understand you a bit better and that some of what you explain makes me more comfortable with your sentiments. Not everything though. I think we still have vastly different perspectives. I don't believe you plotted to create a narrative out of thin air to bash refugees but I do believe the narrative you embrace is not accurate and that it does in fact bash migrants. I think the type of Nationalism that needs to claim to be or have been the "best country in the world" is a dangerous one. I prefer Italian meatballs, but the boxed furniture is fantastic. You live in a very fine country. No more. No less. One really cool feature of your country is the impressive social supports. The financial toll of welcoming migrants is a real issue and Im sure it is happening so fast that it is competing with funding for your countries pre-existing social supports. I do hope that is resolved and that the international community will share the financial responsibilities. Because the supports are in place for those who live there. And the migrants live there now. Any two-tier outlook on social supports will fuel unrest. As it should because its unjust and inhumane. I appreciate you not reducing my statements to an accusation of generalized racism. I do. But I also think its worth pointing out that I've never felt a need to end a statement with 'don't call me racist for the things I've just said.' If I could I'd invite you for a Fika (which I believe is a coffee break with a more intentional kinda tone?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not French background. No, I'm not trying to equate all Muslims as terrorists. And I don't have a problem if someone from Iran or some other muslim country wants a better life and moves to France or elsewhere. Having said that, the Islam has a very serious problem they are not addressing. They need to make all kind of changes, only Mulism communities around the world can do that. Unfortunately they have religious and political leaders brainwashing people and turning them into criminals. That has to stop once and for all and only they can stop it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweden has been labeled the best country in the world based on social security, education, freedom and other things we value highly, by independent international studies. I don't think estranged_85 is being overly nationalist by saying that. I can say it, I'm not a Swede, no no nationalism here. It's an objective fact. Why do you think so disproportionately many refugees wanted to go to Sweden, even if it's high up north and they have a shitty climate? Because it is a good country to live in, because of the social security. That's why they chose Sweden and not Portugal, for instance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
