We can consider cultural (or racial) reasons to limit immigrants, but its a harder case, unless you already live in an ethnically pure country that wants to stay that way.<br /><br />And it is strange to live in a country with a group like Planned Parenthood being demonized for trying to make sure all children conceived and born are wanted by parents who are ready to be parents, and ready for another child.<br /><br />The purity of prolife positions is certainly attractive, but if you want to be prolife in the purest way, it means everyone who wants children should consider adopting BEFORE having their own kids, and using the entire world of neglected and poverty stricken children, before they grow up to find a violent ideology that helps explain their deprivation.<br /><br />I'm only half serious, but I just had a conversation with a "reformed liberal" who was accused of having a "hard heart" towards the needs of these refugees, and we agreed the answer is everyone with a "warm heart" should adopt a family and spend their rest of their lives helping to integrate that family into a new culture. And THEN these warm hearted people might have the right to judge those of us who would prefer to raise and protect our own families needs first.<br /><br />But it is true, religious beliefs do lead action, and people who are called to help the poor and downcast, they can find religious institutions where they can serve those in greatest needs.<br /><br />But short of hopeful integration with western democracies, it does seem like the demands of the future refugees (millions more than we've seen already) will not lead to welcoming by neighboring countries, but the growth of "refugee" communities that start as tents in the wilderness and will grow over time into more solid structure and create their own identities from the bottom up. <br /><br />These people are not going to disappear, and they will outnumber the places that will welcome them, so they apparently are going to be come "defiant squatters" grabbing whatever land and shelter they can find, and once that process starts, it seems destiny for them to grow their own political power and organic organization around it. Perhaps such a process will lead to dozens of new "countries" appearing on the map in this century, when groups have autonomy from the governments of the land they squat upon?<br /><br />There are very sound reasons every government fears mobs. Every single one of them is dangerous to people in positions of power who don't have the power to meet everyone's wants and needs.Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-7505464167430305512015-09-17T13:05:30.279-07:002015-09-17T13:05:30.279-07:00We need to redefine "murder" to include ...We need to redefine "murder" to include times when someone tells a joke and the response "you kill me" is counted.KCFleminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00124201866124646626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-33985567420792811782015-09-17T12:24:13.983-07:002015-09-17T12:24:13.983-07:00On "Sweden as the rape capital of the world&q...On "Sweden as the rape capital of the world", such claims need context (and correction) unless your purpose is to distort perceptions. It does look like Sweden WANTS a high report rate for political reasons, to gain more attention to the problem.<br /><br />http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-19592372<br />--------------<br />"In Sweden there has been this ambition explicitly to record every case of sexual violence separately, to make it visible in the statistics," she says. <br /><br />"So, for instance, when a woman comes to the police and she says my husband or my fiance raped me almost every day during the last year, the police have to record each of these events, which might be more than 300 events. In many other countries it would just be one record - one victim, one type of crime, one record."<br /><br />The thing is, the number of reported rapes has been going up in Sweden - it's almost trebled in just the last seven years. In 2003, about 2,200 offences were reported by the police, compared to nearly 6,000 in 2010.<br /><br />"But the major explanation is partly that people go to the police more often, but also the fact that in 2005 there has been reform in the sex crime legislation, which made the legal definition of rape much wider than before."<br /><br />The change in law meant that cases where the victim was asleep or intoxicated are now included in the figures. Previously they'd been recorded as another category of crime. <br /><br />So an on-the-face-of-it international comparison of rape statistics can be misleading. <br />...<br />So there's a lot that official statistics don't tell us. They certainly don't reveal the real number of rapes that happen in Sweden, or any other country. And they don't give a clear view of which countries have worse crime rates than others.<br /><br />Rape is particularly complex, but you'd think it would be straightforward to analyse murder rates across different countries - just count up the dead bodies, and compare and contrast.<br /><br />--------------Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-17132325327368855622015-09-17T11:30:29.614-07:002015-09-17T11:30:29.614-07:00It seems the world has gone quite mad: neologisms,...It seems the world has gone quite mad: neologisms, redefining words, celebration of the deviant, denouncing heretics, and suicidal.<br /><br />Christianity proscribes despair, but there it stands, just outside my door, impatiently waiting.KCFleminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00124201866124646626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-83981475236621763452015-09-17T08:11:31.291-07:002015-09-17T08:11:31.291-07:00You seem to equate anti-religion with a bleeding h...You seem to equate anti-religion with a bleeding heart mentality. Sam Harris doesn't seem to display that combination. <br /><br />What I think you're referring to are moralistic people who have sympathy for the underdog plus some degree of antipathy toward the cultures that, in the past, oppressed them.<br /><br />There's nothing necessarily wrong with that either -- and Germany is a prime example -- as long as critical self-examination remains rational.Recruiting Animalhttp://recruitinganimal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-16830619387144415992015-09-17T07:27:14.371-07:002015-09-17T07:27:14.371-07:00

Islam is a violent, totalitarian creed that seeks the destruction of the non-Islamic world. Yet we see Angela Merkel up there welcoming millions of these culture wreckers into her country. “Come on in all you who hate me and my fellow Germans.” That, my friend, is insanity.Bizzy Brainnoreply@blogger.com
