And Daves Mom, refugees are usually not escaping an invading force but oppression from their own government sometimes with the popular support of a prejudiced populace.

Life was a lot simpler when we could just kill the ones that pi$$ed us off. If we were still doing that, this behaviour would be closer to, and more in line with nature. All natural. The creep drops where he's chopped and Mother Nature takes care of the rest.

Here's a proposal. How about the Leaders of the world figure out that when a ****#d up country who is abusing it's citizens forcing them to leave by the thousands to try to enter these Leaders country, should collectively get together and say: "Yup, something is wrong man, and yes by dragging us into your savagery, it gives us the right and the permission to enter your ****#ng country and take out the reason our borders, seas and ocean are inundated with families willing to die to get away from you". The day any country starts affecting other countries, then you go in and take out the treat. It would save lives, well being, and money.

I believe that was attempted in Syria and Iraq. It haven't worked out very well has it?

I was asked yesterday, 'If Canada was being bombed wouldn't you be looking for a safe place to do?"
Well, No! I would fight for my country by whatever means I could find. Who would just vacate and make it easy for the enemy to take over the country and deprive you of your lifestyle and your freedom?

The hundred of thousands of refugees who have fled their countries could made up a formidable army to defend their territories if they had the courage and the love of their country. Instead they fled like rats from a sinking ship.

Well said.


You stand out there with your rifle, if you have one, and ignore the bombs being dropped all around you from planes you can't even see.

And make sure you are a good shot when you hear machine guns firing and the bullets whizzing past you because you will only get one chance to fire back.

And you may have a problem trying to figure out who's who and exactly which of the multitude of group's is supposed to be on your side when you start shooting back. Also be sure to not be taken alive because it will be worse than death itself.

Of course make sure you have a 3 months supply of water and food at a minimum because you won't know how long the attack will last.

And in-between the dropping of bombs on you from American, Russian, Saudi Arabian. Turkish and yes, even your own country, you may have time to ponder Why is there a war in Syria?

Why is there a war in Syria? - BBC News


After USA/Saudi-backed Syrian rebels balked at peace talks and the Russian-backed Syrian army cut off Turkish supply lines to jihadists and other Syrian rebels, the U.S. and its Mideast Sunni “allies”� appear poised to invade Syria and force “regime change” even at the risk of fighting Russia. Turkey, which has restarted its war against Kurdish PKK guerillas inside Turkey, is determined to crush the emergence of an independent Kurdish state inside Syria as well.


A UN commission of inquiry has evidence that all parties to the conflict have committed war crimes - including murder, torture, rape and enforced disappearances. They have also been accused of using civilian suffering - such as blocking access to food, water and health services through sieges - as a method of war.

Here's a proposal. How bout each country in the EU agree to take in 1/2 of 1% of their population per year for two years, and encourage non-EU countries to do the same? That'd take care of at least 3.5 million over two years.
That would have Canada taking in 350,000 middle east refugees. Given most speak no English/French and have no modern job skills or equivalent education they would all have to be supported on welfare for years. That's at least $6 billion per year not counting costs of health care, education, etc. Few would ever be entirely self-supporting, which means earning enough to get above the low income cutoff for Canadian income tax, which means they would never be able to contribute to the tax base which pays for their health care and other services.

In addition, of course, there is the cultural factor. Most refugees are Muslims. The culture of third world Muslim countries, particularly from the middle east and north africa is extremely hostile to gays and lesbians, to gender equality, and to the values, morals and beliefs of non Muslims. Let's put it this way, you wouldn't want to be a young woman who likes to dress lightly and go out at night alone in the midst of that kind of influx. You wouldn't want to be a Jew either.
