I find I'm more calculating, tactical, and calm that way. It makes me more tired throughout the day, and reduces my strength and stamina, but its worth it. Keeping it low helps with my anger; and not being prone to beating somebody to within an inch of their life for minor irritations is nice.you're a bad christian 964

The Flood / Re: Great Shitstain« on: May 03, 2015, 06:28:44 PM »Stupid. Then they should give them incentive to come to other parts of the country. Or maybe even expand the city limits of London, I dunno. There are a lot of solutions if the problem is having all of the immigrants crammed into a single city, even if the country isn't that large.I don't know, really. Problem is most everybody wants to come to London, also.Hm. Now that's a very valid concern.Like I said, I don't care if they're "low class" from east Europe or whatever, the problem is that Britain and London specifically I becoming overcrowded because the government doesn't handle it properly. They aren't constructing new housing at a fast enough rate etc.Uh, why are we even discussing this if we aren't talking about lower-class immigrants flooding the country? I can understand why that would be an issue, but if you're just referring to immigration in general....Not really, no.We were referring to lower-class Muslim immigration, yes?...And? Europeans can get in with their European citizenship.But the UK isn't a part of the Schengen area, so you would still need to show EU documentation at a border crossing to get into the country if I'm not mistaken.Not so much that as EU membership. UK isn't exactly opening its doors to refugees.This is all assuming that the current rate of immigration is maintained which would likely be as long as the instability from the Arab Spring keeps on happening.While his post is retarded, thinking a growing wage problem and housing problem as well as a huge strain on the NHS (which is more the Conservatives' fault than anything, but heavy immigration plays its part), yes immigration is an issue. They can't maintain this amount of people flooding the country.Putting off a not-so urgent immigration "crisis" is dumber than going to war with half the world?And this problem isn't urgent enough to need to be solved immediately.And this is where you prove to be dumber than Casper. 969

That's not really saying much on account of the fact that the UK has well over 20 times the population of Lebanon. And what's the amount of Muslims who have come in recently?Challenger's just biased and wanted to paint the UK as a Muslim-overrun shithole when it really isn't. The UK has always had a highly international community, and this isn't really so exceptional or such a big problem.Pretty sure Muslim terrorists were just one part of my OP bro. Ah, and Arab Spring is certainly playing a big role in the sudden influx. Though the UK should watch their border crossing for IS infiltrators. 977

Challenger's just biased and wanted to paint the UK as a Muslim-overrun shithole when it really isn't. The UK has always had a highly international community, and this isn't really so exceptional or such a big problem.Firstly, you can only assume it would get worse, you don't know for certain. And so what? We acknowledge that it's a problem, but just leave it be until it's a serious problem? Isn't that just waiting until it's too late? Because I highly doubt it's something that's going to fizzle out on its own. Especially if they hold grudges for as long as you say.Lol. If there were a workable solution out right now, then it would have been implemented already. And no, a solution that makes it worse doesn't count. And this problem isn't urgent enough to need to be solved immediately.So you're one of those people who like to bitch about a problem rather than trying and looking for a solution, because I don't see you coming up with any ideas.So finding a solution will somehow take forcing the situation to become hundreds of times worse and plunging half the world into instability?Well then we better figure that out when we come to that point. But we won't know till we get there. And most likely never will, because we'll just keep giving in just to keep them quiet, right?Killing is one way to destroy lives, but not the one I was mentioning. Destroying a country's Government would destroy the lives of most of the people living under it as well. Then you'll get hundreds of times of refugees you'd be getting normally.Yup, this is totally what I'm saying. Because clearly we need to kill every single person in both places. Just to be super sure."hur let's totally destroy a volatile region with 300 million people living in it cause of immigrants! Then let's destroy China which has 1.3 billion people cuz lol!"Yup, I'm stupid alright.You're too stupid to talk to if you're being serious.Well if it gets rid of the middle east, then why not?Yeah, so let's instead start what would be the most bloody and costly war since wwII!Anytime.So a multi-trillion dollar investment, tens of thousands of deaths, and destroying whatever semblance of stability the Middle East has left it is!!I'd prefer dealing with the source of the problem over dealing with the issues they cause.And then face the fact that their oil-producing capacity will be greatly reduced for years, trying to rebuild Saudi Arabia which would cost hundreds upon hundreds of billions, still having to take on one of the top 10 strongest Armies on Earth, and having to deal with any power vacuum that al-Qaeda and Islamic State would exploit within heartbeats?So just go in and get rid of them. It's not like we don't have the ability to. But then people bitch that it's "morally wrong". All the while what they actually do is just as bad as what we should do."Hurting somebody's feelings" is a huge deal when they're the world's largest petrol exporter, and known to hold long-term grudges against people who annoy them.Why it's getting to be so difficult is because only half is worried about hurting someone's feelings. It's not like the middle east can't be dealt with, it's that they're caught up with trying to deal with them peacefully.The vast majority of these refugees are still citizens to their native countries, so you have to deal with the situation delicately, so you can't just boot them out unless you want to start a diplomatic crisis with Saudi Arabia or Iran. Whatever the solution is, it's not easy.I know it's not as easy as "help yourself", but when it's all you can do, its either do that or do nothing.I remember when I used to think that.Then sucks to be them. Life isn't fair, and it isn't anyone's obligation to help others. So don't try to bring down others.

Like I said, it works when civilized cultures try to mix, but not when there's such a disparity between the two.And yet people think immigration is a good thing.Sigh.

Then let's destroy China which has 1.3 billion people cuz lol!"Yup, I'm stupid alright.You're too stupid to talk to if you're being serious.Well if it gets rid of the middle east, then why not?Yeah, so let's instead start what would be the most bloody and costly war since wwII!Anytime.So a multi-trillion dollar investment, tens of thousands of deaths, and destroying whatever semblance of stability the Middle East has left it is!!I'd prefer dealing with the source of the problem over dealing with the issues they cause.And then face the fact that their oil-producing capacity will be greatly reduced for years, trying to rebuild Saudi Arabia which would cost hundreds upon hundreds of billions, still having to take on one of the top 10 strongest Armies on Earth, and having to deal with any power vacuum that al-Qaeda and Islamic State would exploit within heartbeats?So just go in and get rid of them. It's not like we don't have the ability to. But then people bitch that it's "morally wrong". All the while what they actually do is just as bad as what we should do."Hurting somebody's feelings" is a huge deal when they're the world's largest petrol exporter, and known to hold long-term grudges against people who annoy them.Why it's getting to be so difficult is because only half is worried about hurting someone's feelings. It's not like the middle east can't be dealt with, it's that they're caught up with trying to deal with them peacefully.The vast majority of these refugees are still citizens to their native countries, so you have to deal with the situation delicately, so you can't just boot them out unless you want to start a diplomatic crisis with Saudi Arabia or Iran. Whatever the solution is, it's not easy.I know it's not as easy as "help yourself", but when it's all you can do, its either do that or do nothing.I remember when I used to think that.Then sucks to be them. Life isn't fair, and it isn't anyone's obligation to help others. So don't try to bring down others. If you need help that bad, help yourself, don't expect someone else to.Lots of people escaping conflict suddenly end up in the UK at once. What do you expect? Getting out of poverty isn't easy in any country you're in, and many people still never do manage to escape poverty.And look what a lot of good these foreigners are doing. Like I said, it works when civilized cultures try to mix, but not when there's such a disparity between the two.And yet people think immigration is a good thing.Sigh. Destroying the lives of a quarter of the world's population because of a couple of immigrants?
