Maybe there are other reasons that people didn't want a refugee shelter popping up next door to them, like crime and overcrowding. If she wants to help she can follow the law and do it without forcing everyone in her neighborhood to participate in a refugee transportation and housing operation.

- URSpider94 10y agoShe gave five or six people a ride, served them coffee, and then sent them on their way. Hardly a refugee shelter!
- 234dd57d2c8db 10y agoWhy are you not allowed to feed the animals in national parks? It would be kind after all. People play on others' kindness and abuse it when it's not kept in check. This is nipping the problem in the bud.
- pawadu 10y ago> Why are you not allowed to feed the animals in national parks? 1. because your food can make them sick 2. because they may eat too much would either apply to people?
- 234dd57d2c8db 10y agoYou missed the largest point, it makes them dependent on the easy handouts and kills their instincts.
- newspaper-shill 10y agoAre you genuinely arguing against helping people in need?
- 234dd57d2c8db 10y agoDepends on what the definition of "need" is. I don't think a million migrants need to come over here and suck the welfare system and people of Europe dry, but a lot of people do. It's all relative.
- rspeer 10y agoAnd you think human beings should be acting on instincts, or what? Where are you going with this analogy, besides comparing people to animals in a zoo?
- 234dd57d2c8db 10y agoHumans do act on instincts, what do you think hormones are? Humans are not special, we're animals too. I also never compared people to animals in a zoo. That would imply we have control over said people. Instead, we have people from a foreign land who are here for free stuff (Aka wild animal coming up to you in national park). I'm suggesting that maybe if we don't give them free stuff, they will go home and stop trying to get free stuff from us. Every time you give these people free stuff, it encourages them more. Every time you feed the bear in the woods, it encourages bears to accost people on the trail. Did not know this needed such an explanation.
- rspeer 10y agoI mixed up "zoo" and "park", but you are still in a really bad place when you suggest that the same ethics apply to animals and people. The death of a wild animal is natural. The death of a person, when it's preventable, is a tragedy. You said "it kills their instincts" as a reason not to feed animals. Regardless of the fact that humans also have instincts, why is "it kills their instincts" a reason not to feed people? That's what I was asking. Our society is not ruled by instinct, and should not be. > I'm suggesting that maybe if we don't give them free stuff, they will go home It's like you don't know what a refugee is. Their home is gone. A major city was just destroyed.
- Torgo 10y agoYou're ignoring the part where they organized a campaign on Facebook that got hundreds of cars and boats to move people, and finally only stopped when they were trying to rent multiple buses and were told by the police to stop it.
