Migration crisis - quo vadis, Eurpean Union?

[Dondilion]

The people flooding Europe behave more like migrants because they are shopping and are very selective of where they want to go.

If you look closely at the pictures you will see a lot of people who do not seem that concerned.

That said my 'ongoing narrative' which everyone has chosen to ignore is that all of the phony concern expressed here for the 'migrants' we will never see or deal with is totally forgotten when it comes to the children fleeing rape and murder in Central America.

"A refugee, according to the Geneva Convention of Refugees, is a person who is outside their country or citizenship, because they have well-founded grounds for fear of persecution".

These people are no freeloader but people who need the help of a human community.

I am, in the end, just saddened to read a comment like this.

Well, made a little sick too.

Were it not for the fact that America was complicit in causing the mess in Iraq and Syria, I might find it easier to be hostile toward the refugees/migrants. There's a great German idiom that's comes to mind: Das Problem ist auf unserem Mist gewachsen (the problem grew on our manure).

See? I was right, wasn't I?

I see everyone is still ducking the question - still worrying about the mote in a brother's eye and ignoring the beam?

Of course John we all know you are never wrong.

You haven't asked any questions unless you mean this one.

I thought you'd want people to forger that one.

All Muslims are evil. There; happy now?

Oh, he asked a question all right:

This question was not ducked. He's been ducking the answer. But he's admitted to a mote in his eye. That's something I guess....

Well, I ignored that one since it had been adequately answered. unless he's hoping I'll tell hem why the people in the photo look so unconcerned.
