Quick: what do Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and the UAE have in common?

If you said they are not accepting refugees from Syria you'd be right.

I wasn't aware refugees were even going there.

After all, they can't escape the Global Warming, which obviously, in addition to poorly produced movies and bad cartoons, inspires terrorism, leading to migration and human tragedy.

answer the terrorists by living our values confidently, and strengthening them in the whole of Europe - now more than ever.
Recent quote from the German Chancellor - Germany maybe the only country left who will take them. I guess she didn't arrive at those values by consulting with the rulers of Saudia Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain etc. I'm not sure which way I'd go if it were my call, but I don't think it's necessarily idiotic to take risks for the sake of humanity.

Humanity is helping people fight inhumanity where they live, making their home nicer to stay, so they don't drown trying to escape on a raft.

Legal, regulated immigration of those yearning to breathe free and willing to assimilate with our culture are welcome as always.

Why? Don't their studies have enough books in them now that they don't call them "libraries" nowadays? :shock: :P
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Ok, nevermind then, no refugees!

Besides, we already had the Fugees once, and they got pretty popular at one point. I doubt the new ones will be better, and certainly not with that musical talent that Joe posted.

Should those of us born here also make plans to assimilate with you?

Fortunately, I didn't say assimilate with me, I said assimilate with our culture.

Speak English, watch football, respect secularism, I don't think that's unreasonable, do you??

Well, I like the idea of the troll getting his comeuppance. That should teach him a thing or two about assimilating.

Well, of course there is nothing we can do about the soccer watching subversives we already have...

But there is no point in adding to their numbers!!

Thanks Joe! Cats to the rescue! BTW the next video in that sequence is about cats taking over dogs beds. Glad you didn't use that one.
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.
