Football fans and the refugee crisis

Sorry TV but we must agree to disagree. I think the human default position is one of generosity not selfishness. I believe people are fundamentally good. The curve of civilisation is not a constant upward parabola. There are massive downturns like the British putting Africans in chains and Germany's concentration camps. These downturns in civilisation just do not correct themselves they have to be fought and resisted. For me T'was Ever Thus is no answer.

The interesting thing for me is how everything has become globalized, and instantly accessible.

Unless of course, you need to access it via Hungary, The Med, Calais.................

I don't the local EDL morons agree with the banner.

We're saying the same thing though Brian. If you take the position that people are fundamentally good, which I agree with, then things will get better. Which I'm saying they have. Humans  generally don't get away much of the atrocities of the past because of how much more quickly it gets exposed. But that's not to say some very evil ones won't try and get away with it for a short period of time. And there will always be those cases because those who are meant to help quicker are influenced by many things, sometimes unfortunately those reasons aren't good, and innocent people suffer.

You would think that countries like Saudi Arabia & Dubai would be able to take in a very large number of refugees/ economic migrants ?

After all they have the same stone-age religion as most of the people trying to emigrate..

You think they are trying to 'emigrate'?

Fucking hell, why not suggest they are just looking to go on holiday.

When I go on holiday I don't tell people I am emigrating to Ibiza for a fortnight

Stone-age religion? Bit rich coming from a neanderthal.

[SavoInDevonia]

Neanderthal ? How did you deduce that ?

Nose alert, nose alert

Talking about stone age religions and a third world country perhaps? Calling someone a prick in your fifth post? Maybe he took a wild guess.

You don't have to be a nose to be a uneducated twat.
I suggest EDL before nose.

I never thought you'd have been capable of disingenuous behaviour.

[SavoInDevonia]

Hate to break it to you but Neanderthals became extinct a long, long time ago...

I was merely responding to someone suggesting I did not know what " emigrate" means.

And no I am not a nose.

Go on be a big lad, and play your Ace card, call me a racist - you know you want to.
