I've been to the middle east a few times, albeit not Syria. And I certainly never got the impression it was a terribly hard working society as opposed to let's say the Chinese
Agree the Chinese get two thumbs up for working hard. I guess I wouldn't confuse what appears to be laid back in the Middle East for lack of motivation. YMMV.

Um, do you know the situation with Micronesians in Hawaii? We just had a major brawl at Pahoa High just a couple of days ago involving non-student Micronesians coming on campus to cause trouble, beating students. Do you know that there are supposedly 300-400 Micronesians living on ONE ACRE in HOVE? I'm not blaming them, but this jazz about "Free association" is pure BS. They do not assimilate well.
Location: not sure, but there's a hell of a lot of water around here!

Are they on the lot next to the cannibals and the always burning imu?
I got my statement wrong about the amount of Micronesians in Oceanview, There are way more than a few years ago, over 700 now on 2 acres. About 300 are related to the property owner, Jonithen Jackson, who is "Running for president of Enewetak".

I think that's been the case many other times throughout history. Ex. the early Chinese immigrants to the US were mostly men who came to work. The first European explorers/conquerors of the Americas were groups of men. Maybe they weren't exactly refugees but it's the same logic.
I have to disagree on this point. personalizing this issue, I cannot in a million years see my 4 sons leaving me and their sister, poverty stricken and homeless, in a war torn country to "find a better place and send for me later". Just doesn't add up.

Are you saying what I mentioned never happened? Well then you're wrong because what I mentioned is fact. It's well documented. Just because you can't see your family doing the same doesn't mean others don't do it.
Still happens with certain immigrant groups today.
Could you be a bit more specific, I browsed the reference, and saw nothing in regards to Micronesians on the Bigger Island.
