Wither Europe

[marcus]

Ah, I see now I was paraphrasing the comment before me. So what was bigoted about it? I was referring to the Syrian refugees, who, as newspaper articles have attested, are mostly rural desert dwellers with no job skills who don't understand a word of English. Is it the accuracy of the statement which offends you?

There is no paraphrasing. More misinformation. Man up and admit it, instead of trying to blame someone else for the bigoted comment.

I didn't deny I wrote it. I admitted all the words in it from the beginning. I was only a little uncertain about the "our children" bit since I don't usually reference them.

But I do deny it's bigoted. It's accurate. You, being a thoroughly dishonest person, have no interest in the statement's accuracy, of course.

Firstly, do we agree that there is a maximum number of migrants that can reasonably be accommodated by Europe? If so, it's a matter of figuring that number out.

Erdogan is a dreadful person. He is trying to extort concessions from Europe.

We in Finland get told time again that we are such a sparsely populated country that we can afford to accept new people living here. Let's look at that claim closer; About 40% of the world's resident population north of the 60th degree latitude are Finns. The population in Canada in corresponding latitudes is tens of thousands, in Finland it is 5.5m.

Simply speaking living this north is simply unecological. The sheer survival is unecological and in order to maintain a high standard of living is bordering on environmental crime. If I were a dictator of the world I would simply ban people living in places such as Finland because of its wastefulness. Ok, perhaps I wouldn't be that harsh on people who were born in such places such as Finns or the Inuits but moving from a more temperate climate north of the 60th would be an absolute no-no.

It never ceases to astonish me how the Green Party who are supposedly environmentalists are in favour of importing people from countries of better conditions for human inhabitation to move into Finland. If they were logical they would be anti-immigration as hell but they aren't logical.

Last year we had 35,000 Iraqis moving to Finland. That just doesn't make any sense. People in the present-day Iraq were living in houses and farming land when people in Finland were living in trees and starved and froze to death.

I'm glad to say that soon our welfare-state will collapse and most of the people who don't belong here will pack their bags and move elsewhere and as the Finnish society will also collapse most Finns with means and opportunities to move will follow.

Mark my words; in the 2020's the news you will hear about Finland will not be about hockey but about mass-poverty, civil unrest, state of emergency and a collapsed society.

All of Europe seems determined to repeat the 8th century only this time not putting-up a fight.

Victory for Islam after all these centuries...wouldn't have thought it possible circa 1980...

You'll be in good company. That'll be the state of normal around much of the world.

The Great Migration to North America included many Finns and it happened over several generations...long before Iraqis or other emigres sought their fortune in Finland. Europe has withered before.....
