That is a strange statement. The people you WANT having kids are self-serving, selfish materialist who lost their faith in a higher power?

So that leaves unselfish, god serving, religious people having kids but THOSE are not the people you want.

A person who thinks that women have babies in order to collect a bigger welfare check is a person who has never changed a diaper or a hundred other things that need to be done to raise a child. When our children were young my wife and I both had jobs that required shift work so I`ve walked the walk.

I have met two girls around 10 years old who take care of their younger siblings. That includes changing diapers. Both mothers are single and receive help in some way. One of the girls recently asked a relative of mine if she could be adopted because she was tired of taking care of babies.

But there are a few Swedish posters in these forums, maybe ask their opinion?


I guess it depends on their perspective and ideology correct?

If we were Swedes and discussing America, you could say all the people and family you know in America thinks Hillary is the most honest and qualified politician in the history of human kind. But obviously there is just as many who thought she was one of the most dishonest and worst.

I know very little about Sweden, but even if the problem is not as bad as some claim, allowing immigrants in that will not assimilate and that are causing crime, serves what purpose?

It does depend on a person's perspective and it also, depends on if someone is blowing smoke up ones skirt, just so they can yell, fire. As that is what happened in Cologne Germany.

If one foreigner in a country does something wrong, commits a crime, then it becomes a war on 'all foreigners' of that culture, in that country is guilty of same crime or worse. Then that leads to native country people rioting in the streets ...

So that leads to the peacekeepers, to keep the peace, not telling no one nothing out of fear of the repercussions when they inform the people.

Immigrants and refugees are looking for a place to lay their weary heads and they don't want to cause any trouble ... but trouble will find them no matter where they go, because of people's prejudices.

Since you chose to respond to Vector1's post, would you care to take a stab at the question he asked?

Aside from letting yourself feel good for being big-hearted, what purpose does it serve to allow immigrants from a radically different culture, who hold values dramatically different from your own, into your country?
