I am saying that because they are very specific in what country they apply for asylum. Only tiny fraction of people who pass through Greece applied for asylum here. Not even Hungaria and Austria(!) are good enough. Most people want to Ger

It is very inefficient to bring people to Germany and other western countries in order to help them. We could help one person in Germany, or another 10 people in Turkey for the same money. Most people coming to Europe are economic migrantw,

That is one of the problems which needs to be solved. Scammers are everywhere where money are.

I dont even get why UK wants out. UK is not part of Shengen and has its own currency. There is no reason for exiting, UK already has what it wants.

In this case it would not help. He got sued and did not cooperate with court, insurance would not cover that.

There was RAM upgrade service (from 8MB to 16MB) for Psion Revo 15 years ago. RAM was also soldered on board.

I think this tone "art was created to be viewed" sort of hurts. Painting deteriorates over time when exposed to light and normal air. Also there is a not much difference between painting located in some container, and museum in p

I find this ridiculous. TSA employs 55k people and has budged $8B. Sure its director should be pay reasonably. At the same time Yahoo CEO gets over $150M and people applaud it. I get private versus public organization difference, but TSA i
