Lovely... you know what makes me laugh about that attitude? It proves to me that I am on the right track, because the more folk coming here from elsewhere, the smaller the percentage of cold hearted nationalists per capita, and that pleases me no matter who turns up, or where they arrive from.
Thanks for providing an example which illustrates my original points so well !!
Their governments were th eproblem.
they could had changed their own governments before they were attacked.
SO yes it IS their fault their country got hit. Because they didnt have the personal responsibility to fix it. Youre still being played and are doing exactly what they want you to do.
Oh stop being silly, I'm making a logical argument that the overwhelming majority of those potential migrants speak English as their second language. Even Charlie agreed, so if you have a situation where the UK unilaterally makes the decision to take asylum applications from people who make it to a safe country then obviously the majority will choose the UK.

Cool, so as someone in a safe English speaking country do you advocate that Canada should accept overseas asylum applications from people in safe countries?

The day we stop offering asylum to the innocent civilians suffering in war-torn countries, is the day we might as well stop calling ourselves "human".
It never ceases to amaze how many people actually think that their own country is somehow magically immune from becoming 3rd world conditions someday too.
The possibility is always there, and you best remind yourselves of that each and every day.

if someone wanted to enter your house, take all your belongings and even move in there. Should you be forced to let them in?

Who established those governments?
Hint - We did.

No...cause we openly supported those dictators and governments, until it was far too late because we had already decided to go to war.

No, I'm not.
What you fail to understand is that in Afghanistan in the 70's, women were walking around in pencil skirts, going to school becoming doctors and lawyers. WE bombed the nation into nothing, the power vacuum we left was filled by extremists and there was nobody left to fight them, because we killed all the men and boys.
Then we instilled puppet dictators, and the cycle repeats itself, every time one of those dictators decides he's not going to take sh.t from NATO anymore.
How is that hard for you to understand?
Its' cause and effect. We caused a giant problem, then just washed our hands of it and now you're surprised there's repercussions?
And what's more, you'd rather blame them, then take any kind of responsibility for the actions that put them there in the first place?
Do you realize how ludicrous that stance is? It literally ignores 50+ years of history and fact.

Why isn't Indonesia a caliphate, with 87% Muslim and the leader being a Muslim?
