I realize that my European friends do not need to be reminded of this, but this video of refugees marching to what they hope is a better way of life is nothing less than dramatic. It's breathtaking to think that this is a very small fraction of what is happening every day.

Marching Through Slovenia

Re: Marching Through Slovenia
Yes, it looks appalling, and you might not be mistaken in thinking how terrible it is for all those who've lost their homes, businesses, family and friends, but yesterday, Slovenia's PM said that if drastic action isn't taken, the EU could be torn apart in weeks.
At the rate of influx, their countries of origin'll be like empty shells, with nothing and no desire to return to. Many terrorists are mingling with the genuine refugees, and these're what're going to come into Europe to continue their reign of terror.
Anti-immigration Conservatives won elections in Poland last night, and I think the issue'll cause more people to vote that way, sad as the situation might seem.
The Slovenian PM said that the influx arriving in the last few days was proportionate to Germany receiving half a million people in one day.
Our Royal Navy's sent a warship to the Med, to help fight people smugglers. Brussels plans to send 40 guards to the border of the western Balkans. Bulgaria, Romania and Serbia said they'll close their borders, and Croatia's just pushing the migrants into Slovenia because they can't cope.
Last week, 9,000 people arrived every day in Greece, and someone has to pay for these people. The Save the Children charity's under scrutiny after it was found that large amounts of money've gone missing, and fallen into terrorist's hands, so people're wary of donating their money now. As one migrant Iraqi said: "These groups are murderous and evil. They have no compassion, no feelings at all beyond wanting to take over. If people don't do as they're told, they're killed on the spot, man, woman or child, and they intend to carry on until they've conquered."
Well, sadly, this IS war, and innocents get dragged into it. It's no good holding children up, or showing videos of them lying in hospital covered in bandages to make people rush to help. Of course it's horrible to see, but when you have uncaring Jihadi brides who boast that they'll all have as many children as possible, so that their sons can carry on the fight and their daughters can produce more of their ilk ... is that what anyone really wants? Our tolerance's sharply on the wane. The reason for this's that folk're coming to realise the ideals behind these people, and it's frightening. Rochdale, up in the north west now houses 1000 more "asylum seekers" than the whole of the south east. As the migration continues, people're being forced out of their homes to provide houses for them. How can this be right? Acceptance and tolerance is one thing, but would you be happy to encourage the same thing in the US? We're not just talking about several thousand people, but millions'll be here in a very short space of time and this includes the very people the rest of the migrants're trying to flee from.

Re: Marching Through Slovenia
this is like the vandal migration that rearranged Europe.
Re: Marching Through Slovenia
I thought of the same thing. There are enough thermal nuclear devices available from willing neighbors to turn Syria into a sheet of plate glass. The problem, however, is the people themselves. They can't get along with each other and there are too many factions to eliminate them all without total destruction - which gets into the concept of genocide. It's a problem.

Re: Marching Through Slovenia
You're both right, and it certainly IS a problem. It's impossible at the moment to distinguish between people who genuinely need help, and those who intend harming us.
The nuking idea seems like a good end to it, but then, it won't happen, because although oil's depleted rapidly in Syria and caused prices to slowly creep higher, its neighbours produce a lot of it. The fear is, that these neighbouring countries could get dragged into the conflict, and oil production and transport may be interrupted. Our government in particular haven't seemed too worried about the massive exodus to western countries, because the oil issue's more important, but they're now beginning to change tack, after visiting the thousands and thousands of refugees and realising that they have a very big problem on their hands.
Nobody in their right mind wants to see innocent people killed. If Syria was nuked, the fall-out'd affect other places, and the ground, water and air'd be contaminated for years. We couldn't expect people to return to that. Many of the terrorists hail from outside of Syria as well - Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and all over. It'd not be impossible to nuke all of them, but the damage and homicide'd be on a vast scale.
Goodness knows what we're going to do about it.
