I'm sure that you are correct. But that doesn't solve the problem what we'll do once they have the nuclear weapons. Turkey is no North Korea, they have strong ties to many governments and are in a strategically central positi

What if the Turks decide to take the weapons and attack the Armenians who are protected by the Russians? In addition to that the Turks view the Armenians as their enemy, they have basically sealed off the borders to them for decades because

I understand that stationing nuclear weapons is a good way to ensure your allies of your support in case of an attack, but having them stationed anywhere in the Middle East in these chaotic times sounds completely nuts to me. You can't

I'm sure Trump will profit the most from that in the upcoming election. Makes you think about how much in control of its own government the current leadership really is.

It is one thing if you spread internally crazy ideologies or if you spend considerable resources to go out there and try to subvert every society you possibly can. Saudi education literally teaches children that they must wage jihad against

If the West would have bombed Saudi Arabia instead of Afghanistan and would have taken their oil we might be better off today. Saudia Arabia is notorious for sponsoring mosques here in the EU that only ever seem to produce Salafi radicals a

I mostly talk about creating businesses (your own web service for passive income), not getting a job, which isn't really a good way to move upwards to the highest levels in our societies. But yes, occupational licensing is a barrier to

We are talking about the best of the best, the cream of the crop when we are talking about Meritocracy, not the private sector average. I'm saying these people wouldn't be interested in wasting their time doing such nonsense and b

Seriously, who cares? Everyone of us will have to deal at some point in life with people that look down upon us for stupid reasons. That doesn't give you an excuse to kill 100 random strangers! It is their culture that causes this, as

It is, but spending your energy on researching and implementing the most effective way to annoy and obstruct people that are trying to exercise their rights? Generally people that could work wherever they want and choose to not chase after

I'd say that most energetic people with skills would never waste their time with such nonsense. They can make real money in the private sector.

I mean different types of regulations many of which do not even exist in the US/UK but only in the EU. Regulations that allow only persons with certain college degrees to create a business in some fields. What would you say if in 10 ye

What kind of reply did you expect with this insult? ;-) You can either argue with me based on facts or at least come up with some thoughtful insights but not with "I'm loosing faith in humanity".

I see this a little bit different. There are always booming industries precisely because they aren't regulated a lot by the government which open up a venue for all kinds of people with all kinds of backgrounds to make their way to the

The ruling stated explicitly that refugees in Greece cannot be guaranteed that their basic human rights will be looked after. So basically the court said that Greece is not safe for refugees. If you know about this ruling then I'm sure

This is because they will go through mandatory schooling (if they don't the kids will be taken away from the parents) which provides ample time for socialisation into our society and learning our rules, customs, culture and language. A

I see it this way: If somebody is about to die or be seriously harmed giving refuge is the moral thing to do. But once some person is in a safe place where there is no threat for him then immigration laws apply instead of asylum laws. So wh

Until the first world war there was no income tax in the US. Yet they still had a society and earned money. Edit because I'm not allowed to reply anymore to below comment: I once lived in a Communist country. Never again. I'd rate

You are intentionally "misunderstanding" my comment. Once a refugee enters any country that is deemed safe, he or she has no right to flee any further. It would be really hard to argue in court that someone had reason to flee Fran

There is no right for asylum seekers to pick and choose where they want to live once they are in safety, not even by UN and human rights conventions. I couldn't care less if he doesn't want to learn french or hates baguette, what
