In reply to Roadrunner5:
> So ISIS aren't that bad because they haven't killed as many as the Nazis..
Now go back to the top to read that my comment re. Isis and the Nazis was giving some possible reasons why people might disagree with and give negative votes to a statement that Isis are the most evil people in ever.
> They are barbaric, executing people as will.. In cruel and inhumane ways.
I agree,
> People are getting out, understandably, and we can't just not help them because they are safe there. The countries can't cope, the refugees don't speak the language.
> What will happen if we just don't help is those countries should just give out citizenship.. Then they will be EU citizens and can legally enter the rest of Europe.
Can't see this happening and I hope it doesn't as this will likely tip the balance to the out camp in a future ballot on our future in Europe and I'd prefer to stay in.
> Greece cannot cope, financially it was f*cked before this.
Totally, they should never have been in the Euro and the ecb shouldn't have bent their rules to let them in.
> I did expect more from you, I'm not ranting at you, what Trangia said was offensive and ignorant, you are just wrong.
And now you sound like a school teacher
> People will travel regardless. They are being murdered out there, there is no safe future and they are sick of camps. Whether we accept them or not they will come over.
But in what volume, if you offered someone an opportunity and they died trying to take this opportunity would you feel guilty?
> It's pretty easy, compared to the hardship they have now, to live and work as an illegal immigrant. Just punishing those in Hungary and elsewhere by not helping out will do nothing to stem the tide.
Hungary is quite a nice friendly country in my limited experience, if someone was chasing me with an AK47 and the option was Hungary I know where I'd go.
Germany and Austria and doing over Hungary IMO, they tell them to apply the rules, refugees should apply for asylum in the first European country they arrive in, Hungary try and apply this and then get pissed on by Germany and Austria who say they are being inhumane and allow everyone to enter their countries without being registered.
It's like when you're working in a shop and trying to explain to a customer that they don't qualify for X as you've been instructed to do and then the boss walks up and says no worries we'll give you X anyway.
Perhaps if every country agreed that everyone needs registration in the first country they land in, provided the facilities and then distributed people where they can be accommodated.
This would make the journey through Europe easier for everyone.
But, I repeat, this will not stop people drowning in the Mediterranean sea.
