Yeah, crazy lefties... We are all so sick in the head, because unlike our opposite numbers we comport ourselves with love for our fellow human beings, whether they happen to be poor, disabled, from distant lands, or from religious backgrounds different to our own. We are so completely the problem.
Yes, as it happens, those left of the middle are actually the only people in the west, who practice what our western ideals preach. If there were more of us around these days, then we would be in a much better position to deal with these situations, without removing liberty from citizens, without blurring of borders, without dividing the populations of our nations along these outrageous and entirely artificial lines, and without resorting to generalisations born of xenophobia and an apparent allergy to learning from the errors of our forebears.

Oh yes, that's the spirit. Confrontation and sack swinging... It's worked out so well in America after all, a nation which is supposed to stand for freedom and liberty, but actually outshines most of the world in areas like the number of people in prison, the lack of transparency in its government and military, the economic oppression of entire demographics, and by possessing a political system designed to prevent the people actually having any control over the direction in which their nations government moves with regard to policy either foreign or domestic.
Well played. You are trying to fight for a side which does not exist. Your liberty is an illusion. No one is looking to take it from you. Bush set the theft of your freedom and liberty in motion, and Obama carried it on, because he is nothing more than an actor playing a part. You are watching the wrong hand.

Please don't show polls about "German" people and those questions.. I don't think it would seem much better. Well, besides the Jews and the Atheists.
Anyway, I took a look at the sources of that poll (as quoted on Wikipedia Link).
First is Liljeberg Research International: seems that this research company is so small that no-one ever cared about them, neither before nor after this report. In scientific arguments this would mean "not enough papers", not a valid base for such an extreme statement like this.
Second is the German newspaper "Die Welt": very conservative. Link
Third is the Jewish Press: well, I would say nothing bad about the Jewish, but I doubt that, given the conflict between Palestina and Israel, that the Jewish Press is without a bias against Islam here.
Okay, why would we be poorer?
We would have no Döner *yummy*
We would have no Özil *German_soccer_failstate = 1*
We would have had far worse economical advancement in the 60s and 70s without the Gastarbeiter.
Do I have to continue?

There is something terrible wrong in the picture. For example Finland has agreed to take amount of refugees what was stated as their share, remember Finland is small country with 5 million people and 400 000 unemployed people. Sweden was all open arms " Come here, you are all welcome " and what happened ? Sweden is giving free railroad trip for refugees to move to Finland, so we have our borders in lapland flooding with refugees we didn´t agreed to take by Swedish government !!! Great isn´t it ?
Maybe that's why in the UK David Cameron is inexplicably not giving us a referendum on staying in or leaving the EU until 2017 - making sure there's enough time to make sure the vote will never take place?

And you don't even have guns to depose your dictatorships with......
You are going to let this happen because they will make you at the tip of a gun if needs be
As evidenced by fact most of the EUropean population is against this, but they don't care what you guys want or think, because you are powerless to stop them, they have the only guns, thus all the power

Actually (and I keep having to repeat myself on this point), Europe has widely varied gun laws just like the USA. Some states have strong regulations for gun ownership (like the UK) and others you are allowed to conceal carry, like the Czech Republic or even Italy.
Go and learn something instead of spouting bollocks, honestly You have no excuse, you're on the internet!

It's a simple matter of typing "gun laws europe" - I'm not expecting you to be an expert, but even a cursory glance at the wiki page would have shown your position to be simply idiotic.
Likewise, I don't know the gun laws for all 50 of the US states, but I know some have very tight gun ownership laws and others will allow you to wander the streets packing.

It seems crazy that any sane person would welcome all of these people with open arms (like Merkel) because all it will do is encourage many, MANY times more to also come, so what is behind it all? Why are our leaders doing this?
