sometimes i wonder if the captions weren

So much hate in the comments. Most don't want to live off of the government. Takes time to learn a language to get a job, many variables
excalibur47
You should post the one where they sank their own boat to look like they were in distress.
pacojerte
so fucking what... stay in your country... fix your problems... stop trying to run to other places and fuck up their country also...
tehtaxidriver
They fuck up and ruin their country, come to ours and institute all the changes they did in their countries and hope for a new outcome.

Most are men whose religion (Islam for the Majority of refugees) relegates their women to second class citizens.
getoffmylawnyoupeskykids
And therefore what? They don't deserve basic human rights? I don't agree with that teaching, but it doesn't mean they are shitty people

God created Eve from the rib of Adam, saying "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him" ...

Sura 4:11 "The share of the male shall be twice that of a female"
tehtaxidriver
And forbidden to you are wedded wives of other people except those who have fallen in your hands [as prisoners of war]

The Prophet said, 'Isn't the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?' The women said, 'Yes.' He said,
tehtaxidriver
'This is because of the deficiency of a woman's mind.'
tehtaxidriver
And let two men from among you bear witness to all such documents [contracts of loans without interest].
tehtaxidriver
But if two men be not available, there should be one man and two women to bear witness so that if one of the women forgets (anything),
tehtaxidriver
the other may remind her.

The overwhelming majority of these are men.
DaneChavez
Its something like 75% are unaccompanied males..

They are the most employable. Don't want to risk the life of your wife and children if you don't absolutely have to.
crookedrook
Im not so sure they are looking for gainful employment.
FrenchPressBenchPress
Just to piss you off?
FrenchPressBenchPress
Why do you think they're coming?
crookedrook
The majority for welfare. Others for nefarious reasons. Maybe 2/10 are wanting to actually work.
FrenchPressBenchPress
It's easy for you to convince yourself that they're bad people so you don't feel bad for being a shitty person.
FrenchPressBenchPress
lol. and you got these stats where?
getoffmylawnyoupeskykids
Maybe they need welfare while they learn the language so they can be employed.
crookedrook
Maybe they are just looking for hand-outs.
FrenchPressBenchPress
You write like Trump speaks. Just because you put "maybe" in front of pure conjecture doesn't make it the truth.
UsernameAlreadyTaken3
And then they come to italy, get paid 35€ per day, do nothing all day, sell drugs, go steal in houses..
derppnukem
Maybe you could go try and make their countries better to live in, oh wait that's difficult, let's just run them out since it's easier right
UsernameAlreadyTaken3
A small part of them come here running awat from wars, the majority comes here to take advantage of the hospitality.
derppnukem
Like I said, the easiest option.
alexanderthegreater
Its not our fucking job to fix their shit countries and its not our fucking responsibility to take in anyone who wants to come in.

humans help each other. if you don't want any part of society, you're welcome to go it alone.
Kennleth
1. The way I see it being able to help someone is a luxury, you need to have money, time, or both. When you let people into your country
Kennleth
3. Rob me, or slit my throat while I'm sleeping. I'm not generous to the homeless we already have, how can you expect me to aid those I have
Kennleth
2. It's the equivalency of letting them into your home, And for me there's only a handful of people I would take in and trust them not to
Kennleth
4. Less in common with?
FrenchPressBenchPress
Letting them into our country isn't the same as our home... and you need realize that for them it's a matter of life and death
FrenchPressBenchPress
The homeless in the country are generally mentally ill. Refugees are just like you and I, but desperate.
alexanderthegreater
I want a part of my society, they can have a art in fixing theirs instead of running from it
FrenchPressBenchPress
Don't think if they could fix their society they would? You know how hard it is to start a business or a revolution when you're illiterate?
FrenchPressBenchPress
It's the 21st century. You don't live in a bubble anymore.
