There's a massive difference between the emigration of a very smart, talented person who is eager to assimilate and contribute to society, and immigration involving large numbers of people who are unskilled and have no intention of becoming part of mainstream society in your country.

- numair 17y agoI was in Oslo last week - there's large parts of town where it's quite easy to tell the difference. Anyway, this isn't the right forum for this discussion...
- laut 17y agoI read in a Norwegian newspaper that a part of Oslo "Grønland", there was a guy who thought that Norwegians should follow certain muslim norms because it's a muslim neighborhood. This was in response to some people that had been assaulted in the neighborhood.
