I hope this is my last post this year about the migrant crisis. I just wanted to bring up a few points.

Firstly, I want to focus on behavior.  A lot of liberal people have this false idea that everyone is the same and one family in one part of the world has the same opinions as a family in another part of the world.  However, this is completely false.  There can be people who are similar in otherwise very different nations.  However, these people only make up a small minority.  Most people are positively shackled by their cultures (Westerners, included) and can't break out of that even when they have left their original culture.  Above is a photo of rioting "refugees".  In this single photo, at least two men in this picture are throwing stones, and at least four fires have been started by them (because immigration police spray water or tear gas instead of burning tires).  Throwing stones and rioting is rife in their culture.  Are these people going to immediately turn into good German citizens?  Or will the same radicalism and terrorism that broke their home countries be brought to Germany?  I would wager on the latter, by and large (although no doubt some good citizens will emerge...but that is for an interview and a legal refugee application process to decide).

Secondly, I will bring up the numbers.  Germany, itself, recently reckoned that 800,000 refugees will arrive in Germany this year.

Since many people can't understand numbers more numerous than the fingers on their hand (for example, one million, one billion, and one trillion are the same thing to many people), I will put this year's immigration in terms that are easy to understand.  Germany only has four cities that have over 800,000 people.  Frankfurt, the 5th largest city in Germany, has fewer than 700,000 people, as do all other cities besides Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, and Cologne.  In other words, in one year...this year...Germans can expect a new Frankfurt...completely filled with Middle Easterners, mostly of Islamic faith.  Of course, these people will fan out, but if the refugees from just this year settled in the five largest German cities, they would immediately make up 10% of the population of each city.  That is in one year.  And even though some countries are now closing borders, the German government has still said that it intends to take the migrants...just in a more orderly way.  Remember Europe, your populations don't "reset" every year. Each person you let in now will stay and their lineage will grow both in number and percentage thereafter, even without further immigration.

So now you know that just one year of refugee migration (disregarding last year's 200,000 and the next years' potential to even dwarf this year's number) may very well be larger than the current population of this city:

However, what of their kids?  By and large, they reproduce quickly and Germans don't.  What can we expect in the future?  One story which was written to get sympathy actually got my ire.  It talked about a family of refugees...a father, two kids, and a pregnant mother.  Now, I highly doubt that both of the two kids are from before the Arab Spring and war in Syria.  My best guess is that they decided to have kids (either actively or because they think a mouth to feed for 18+ years costs less than a pack of condoms).  And what of the little tyke in momma's belly?  As war was raging and Syria was in flames and a hell on earth, mommy and daddy had an idea.  "You know Honey, I think it might be time for one more!"  So many of these people are so irresponsible!  Cockroaches think more before popping out kids.  I'm sorry (that I have to say this...I'm not sorry for what I say), but people who are not responsible do not deserve to be "saved" from the misery that they create.

For the record, I would happily take in any Syrian atheist who did not have a child over the past 3 years.  I would take in Syrian kurds, Christians, Druze, and other minorities that have been persecuted by the majority (and perhaps Alawite minority).  I would also take in those who have spoken out in favor of democracy publicly.  But I would never take in random people who throw rocks and burn stuff when they don't get what they want.  And let's be clear.  What most of them want (including those pictured below) is not freedom from Syria.  They have already achieved it.  They want to live in Germany or the UK.  That is why the Channel Tunnel is clogged with refugees from...France!  That's right...they are escaping from places like France and Serbia (OK, well I can sort of understand Serbia...). I support Hungary and the rest of the Visegrád Group (the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland) for standing up to the imperialist European Union which thinks that it can annul the rights of (hopefully still) sovereign states.

In Defense of...Cecil Rhodes?!

You all know Cecil Rhodes, right?  He was a British Imperialist (living from 1853-1902) who founded the De Beers diamond mining and trading company.  Just this morning, I came upon a post comparing him to Adolf Hitler, and claiming that Cecil Rhodes killed at least 60 million Africans.  It has been shared 99 times.  Here is the post: https://plus.google.com/+TonyJefferson/posts/CZ6HW3AxDo6 Unlike many, I decided to do some research on it.  That is my nature.  I don't accept things without evidence given, and even when no evidence is provided, I search for evidence.  If after looking, no evidence is forthcoming, then I discount the claim unless compelling evidence does surface.  After my research on this topic (taking up about an hour of my day and 28 open tabs on my browser...but still an enjoyable time because this is what I like to do), I found that my initial skepticism was well justified and that this comparison is incorrect.  Adolph Hitler and Cecil Rhodes cannot be compare

Inconvenient History – The Barbary Slave Trade

Once upon a time, slavers ravaged the coastal towns of the European continent. Eventually, the response to that would include clear proof that the United States is not founded on a religion. Soon thereafter, European imperialism would become the driving force for the abolition of slavery around the world. Continue reading to learn more. The Barbary Slave Trade is a relatively small part of the Arab Slave Trade, which itself is only one part of the Islamic Slave Trade (which besides Arab slavers, includes Turks enslaving Europeans and Africans, Muslim invaders of India and Sub-Saharan Africa, Malay enslavers of local minorities, and other Islamic slavers). For example, the Arab Slave Trade may have enslaved up to 18 million people over its span (not including those born enslaved), while the Barbary Slave Trade enslaved some number over 1 million. Bear in mind that this number is three times the number of enslaved people (roughly 388 thousand) sent to the area of the United Sta

The Sixth Great Mass Extinction and Human Survival

Recently, there have been numerous articles about a study showing that we are in the midst of the Earth's sixth great mass extinction.  Below are some quotes, and then I will give my thoughts. "Miami (AFP) - The world is embarking on its sixth mass extinction with animals disappearing about 100 times faster than they used to, scientists warned Friday, and humans could be among the first victims." "Not since the age of the dinosaurs ended 66 million years ago has the planet been losing species at this rapid a rate, said a study led by experts at Stanford University, Princeton University and the University of California, Berkeley." "The study "shows without any significant doubt that we are now entering the sixth great mass extinction event," said co-author Paul Ehrlich, a Stanford University professor of biology." http://news.yahoo.com/sixth-mass-extinction-us-study-210749359.html This is sad, although it's not news.  I
