I didn't demand anything apart from you actually trying to educate yourself on something before spouting I'll informed bull crap.
Obviously that is too much for you. The only person who "failed miserably" was you by simply acting up to the stereotype.

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?

So open are those arms that they closed the borders to Austria to prevent them from coming into Germany...

There's also clearly a huge risk that terrorists will be among them, potentially (probably?) thousands of them.

"People" should come first. I don't care about "German" or "Hungarian" or "Polish" or "Greek" or "British". That does not have a real value to me. Why should it?
What makes a "membership" to one country more valuable than to another country?
Well bully for you that you don't care about "german" or "hungarian" etc - what about those who do - do their views not count because they are different to yours?
We need to just use the reference "people" no pre-names. Using any prename only advocates separation, and in the end we are all just human.
what you say sounds quite Utopian, but really it's just nonsensical left wing ideology.
People feel an affinity and a connection to where they were born and live, it becomes a part of their internalised view of who they are - you can't just tell them they're wrong and that they should stop.
And why should they? It's how we have survived as communities for thousands of years.

Take a look at the end of the second video. They are throwing rocks at the Hungarians for not letting them in their country!

I can't quite get my head round to why these people are so obsessed with wanting to get to Germany? For sure Germay is a nice place, but wouldn't Turkey or Greece be a little more like home? You know............ similar climate, on the Mediterranean sea, similar local history between the nations. I just don't get the desperation to get to Germany and Austria.
