So a few hundred people are the majority?

Not sure if you have any experience in Middle Eastern nations but they dont treat Women too fairly.

If you actually read comments on the German newspaper commentaries you would know that the majority don't approve this massive influx of immigrants. Those couple of softheaded lefties in the Munich train station certainly don't represent the average German opinion on this whole mess. They are wondering how the government found 10 bil. euros without making new debt, money that was missing from repairing the infrastructure, creating kindergarten places and so on.

And btw, you don't have to walk from the very east or south corner of Turkey to the Budapest train station. So the narrative that a huge amount of women and children are buried in the Anatolian plain and eaten by camels is BS.

Willing to bet quite a few women were sold to ISIS to obtain the funds to get a Euro Coyote.

The Syrian exodus “Germany! Germany!”

A recent opinion poll shows that the share of Germans who want to accept as many or more refugees as have come so far has increased from 57% to 59% since August.
Idk how you define "majority" but close to 60% seems like "majority" to the rest of the world.

I don't read German, but judging from how low the validity of English/Chinese newspaper commentaries(which I read) is, I would never buy them.

Ok. Then I'd say that once the men(who are usually more capable of long travels) are granted asylum status, they can bring their family from Syria to Europe via plane. That makes more sense.

It seems the further you are from Russia, the better you are doing, like somewhere in a sparsely populated place in Minnesota.
Well yeah, a guy from Holland advised me ( on World's forum) to find an "abandoned cabin" somewhere in the mountains and to live off nature till the rest of my life. He said it was still possible in the US and impossible in Europe, because it's so overcrowded.
I thought may be he was looking for abandoned cabin too, so I advised him to look for one somewhere in Lithuania.

I think this is possible pretty much everywhere except the Netherlands and Belgium.

BUT, there are no 'mountains' in the Baltics, so your advice was misleading.

I don't know, Jen Psaki was determined once to send American Navy to the shores of Belorussia.
I live in America too, so I don't see how I can't have my own geography. It's all about equality and human rights.

I feel sorry for all the people displaced by this war that truly are innocent. But does anyone else not notice that all the videos and photos at train stations they are all military aged males? Rarely do I see a few women and children. The other issue I have is that policies like Merkel and Obama with Latin America is encouraging people to risk their lives and bring babies across the sea/desert.

The Syrian crisis started with the Arab Spring and Assad attacking protesters. It developed into a civil war. Obama supported the Arab Spring and encouraged ppl to rise up. Who knows if he knew they were backed by the Muslim Brotherhood and other extremists groups. Heres the list of fallen countries that are now engulfed with internal conflict. Libya, Tunisia, Egypt, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia. Turkey is trending that way. Now Saudi Arabia and Iran will get in a Nuclear Arms race. All under Obamas watch.
Yeah I noticed that aswell. I wonder are they sending them there for money to send back? I'm kinda fed up of that at this stage.

We get alot of that here with Poles. I say don't comehere if you are taking away our money!

Yes, the world isn't righteous at times. Sometimes I wish when I dive the beach at my town I would find amphoras and the ducks that I throw my old bread to would fly next to me when I ride my bike, but dreams are dreams

Don't think Merkel is planning for these tens of thousands of "refugees" and the flood that is coming to remain in Germany. That is again once they have received proper asylum papers IIRC that will allow them to move anywhere within the EU. This is what worries other countries if not their elected officials but the general populace.

As previously stated many of these migrants do *NOT* speak German, but they do English. Why do you think there are scores of thousands of these migrants parking themselves in northern France near the Chunnel train tunnels and or ports? They want to get to the UK where supposedly jobs are easier to be had *and* no new language skills are required for the most part.
