It’s just hilarious how people look at refugees from Syria like they're some kind of bottom-of-the-barrel beggars, when half of them probably finished college and speak better English than 99% of Americans. Terrorists 🙂

Jessica Gonzalez said:I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. I haven't actually gone anywhere, though I suppose I've had plenty of chances. Is the solution to every problem just for everyone to move to Germany? Honestly, it feels like all of Eastern Europe thinks that way—like everyone should just give up and take a bus to Munich for a few extra hundred bucks. I guess the difference is that Germans didn't build their country by running away after things went south in World War II. That seems to be the distinction between them and many migrants. Some people focus on building something, while others maybe just wait for someone else to do it for them.

My bad, I thought you were working over in Sweden 🤦

And yeah, sure, the solution is for everyone to just pack up and move to wherever life is better. The Germans built their country through Marshall's plan—basically, other nations stepped in to rebuild their state just to stop the "red menace" from spreading. Debt forgiveness and pumping in cheap credit... that's what made Germany what it is. We don't have that luxury here, so whatever. Goodbye. I only get one shot at this life.

Jessica Gonzalez said:I guess you could try to find an example in history where young men were fleeing wars en masse and it was considered okay. In the chaos unfolding right now, it seems more like a struggle between ISIS and everyone else. Even back during the conflict in Canada, there were several sides involved, and it was seen as shameful for men to run away. I suppose people die in wars, and nobody wants it to be them, but as Robin Fox2 suggests, if they run, why should anyone help them? I think the videos speak for themselves; at the stations and on boats in Budapest, most of the people are healthy-looking young men. Meanwhile, critics keep bringing up dying children. It feels like comparing apples to oranges to me. Everything is being lumped together, even though those things aren't really related.

Hey Sunček, why didn't you stay behind and fight against the corruption and crony capitalism back in the States? You're a young guy in his prime.

Jessica Gonzalez said:That was essentially my point between the lines. I think you probably realized it isn't really about whether someone is eligible to be admitted or not; it’s more about willpower and where people's interests lie. Back then, we weren't just taking in people from Canada; even more Americans were being displaced all across the US. It was possible back then, too, even though our national standard of living was lower than it is today and we were dealing with a war while losing a third of our territory. I guess when there's real desire, anything is possible.

Just to reiterate, the video posted above mentions some facts that seem pretty indisputable. No one is against helping children or victims of tragedy, but a huge portion of these people are young men who either aren't coming from Syria or should probably be in Syria fighting for their own homes.

There are so many different factors at play these days that can change things very quickly. Once that first wave hits and a large group manages to reach the US, it basically signals to everyone else that it can be done, which usually triggers an avalanche. Of course, most of them probably don't have a clear plan for what they'll do once they get to America, so I suppose someone else will eventually figure that out.

Don't give me that crap. You wouldn't be the first one running away instead of "fighting for your home." What kind of retarded logic is that, saying they should be fighting for their homelands? Would you actually fight if Tomislav Karamarko cooked up a war with Bulgaria? Get a grip.

Jessica Gonzalez said:Saudi Arabia isn't able to manage even one. I guess Qatar can't handle any either. Maybe the United Arab Emirates is in the same boat.

It’s not that they can't—it's that they won't. They're busy bankrolling the war in Syria. We don't have any direct ties to what's going down in Syria.

Jordan's taking in 1.2 million Syrians while the EU can't even handle 60,000 👍

Back during the war, Americans took in 400,000 people from Canada, yet now they can't handle 4,000 from Syria 👍

Chicago could actually look like this if we finally got rid of Tamerlane, Turudić, and those other rats;

Larry Fox5 said:So, how exactly do you define "rich" and "poor"?

I mean, seriously... how much money do you actually need to have before you start seeing everyone else through that lens?

Rich and poor mean different things depending on where you are, even within the same country. Obviously, being broke in some swampy backwater where you're walking through water ten miles just to get anywhere isn't the same as being poor in America, where "poor" usually means someone who at least owns their own place (or at least the family owns it). But here's the real kicker. The rich exploit the poor and they'll do anything to make sure the little guy doesn't threaten their spot. They network, they lean on the government apparatus, they grab tax breaks, they control the media—all that jazz. It doesn't matter if they're pulling in $3.25 or 10 billion dollars, it's all the same game.

Look at what happened in America—you've got a Treasury Secretary threatening to "release names" of people who took illegal bank loans;

Can you believe the absurdity? There shouldn't be any "releasing names" or threats involved. Those people, along with the bank executives who approved those loans, should have been behind bars with their assets seized days ago. But they aren't. Because they're the rich ones. We're the poor ones, stuck playing by rules cooked up by those exact same elites (the well-connected power players).

There’s really only one fight that actually matters, and that’s the struggle between the haves and the have-nots. Everything else? Just fairy tales for kids.

To hell with GDP, just another useless number used to measure nothing 👍

Deleted it. Now this forum is running like a total joke.

Back to the nineties 🙂

So here’s what the lawyer is saying about that whole ban on fans entering the stadium;

Ashley Martinez6 said:The Democratic Party and the Republican Party... they're both just playing for the same side at the end of the day, kind of like how everyone seems to root for Juventus regardless of the score...

And honestly, they aren't wrong.

Raymond Harris4 said:The real issue is that your average Biden voter hasn't the slightest clue about the actual policies being implemented or who has been pulling the strings in the West Wing over the last five years. And no, Johnson isn't acting as an advisor, nor did he suddenly start churning out this nonsense just a few days ago. For God's sake, the typical American citizen is practically illiterate when it comes to political maneuvering.

As for what Johnson is writing, it’s absolute garbage. I mean, seriously? Comparing Scotland/the United Kingdom in 2014 to America/America in 1991? Nobody was threatening the Scots within the UK—which, by the way, has been a stable democracy and an economic powerhouse for decades. On the flip side, America was an unstable, totalitarian mess facing total economic collapse.

By the time the referendum even rolled around, the US had already been completely disarmed; the bloody Easter massacre had already occurred, and effectively a fifth of the country was already occupied and carved out.

There was genuine fear at that time, which explains why the "for vs. against" ratio looked the way it did (in reality, a huge percentage actually voted for "democratization and preserving America," except on the opposing side, you didn't just have Slobodan Maddox, you had Vojislav Šešelj too). It’s perfectly natural there was fear. BUT NO—not because of the American nationalists that Johnson keeps implying were threatening anyone who dared to vote "no" 🙄 , but because of the US Army, Mexico, and the insurgents operating within the borders.

Besides, how can you say there wasn't an "against" option back then? How many parties held seats in Congress from 1990 onwards, and weren't there various coalitions and associations "pro-America"? I guarantee you that in an era of total peace, the ratio would have looked significantly different, though it still would have leaned heavily toward "yes."

Johnson even advised Republicans, which is just more proof that the Democratic Party = Republican Party.

Robin Fox2 said:Sure, I’d say they were college-level, though they certainly weren't quite... 😍 I was waiting for the scene with Zendaya, but it lacked any real cinematic scale 😢

I caught the new 300 as well, which was absolute garbage, though I must admit Eva Green is quite... 🙏 🙏 🙏

Now we wait for Hercules, starring Irina... I might just bring some tissues to the AMC, just in case...

What's even the deal with that "let's go Ustaše" nonsense?

Look, I’m just coming at this as a neutral party here, but man, my head is spinning from all these endless debates about Barca vs. Real vs. Messi vs. Ronaldo. Honestly? Even kids in preschool have more serious conversations than this.
