Nujeen's done loads since this - shes in her 20s now and is a united nations advocate for refugees!! She even has a TED talk and multiple books. Amazing woman.
2020 actually making me smile. Thank you for telling us that :)

Thanks for giving the update. I somehow missed this one when it aired and just now came across it and was about to see if she had actually seen this clip when I saw your comment.
@@thatoneguy478 same.
It warms my heart to read that Nujeen is doing well, i hope with whats going on right now in the world that it hasn't stopped her from being awesome.
I love how we (Slovakians) are so hostile towards refugees, even tough not so long ago we were the ones immigrating into western europe because of the political situation during the cold war.
+Viktor Kovacs I love how you don't see the point.
+kozagong You don't get sarcasm, do you?
I do.
+Viktor Kovacs Also worth to mention that the majority of Slovaks migrates to the Czech Republic. And since the language is essentially the same they have little difficulty adapting to the accepting country.

From what I noticed, Europeans love to critique America, can't handle being critiqued themselves.
+BickSayless Well usually they have a point when they criticise the US.
+TheLuckyluke211 Not much of a difference here...
+BickSayless We love to critique stupid opinions, the fact that such opinions often happen to be American it's not our fault.
+BickSayless this isn't about being critiqued, because we are fine with that, however that unfunny weasel is just plain wrong in this video
+Eddie "JaggSauce" Gluskin I don't think there's much of a difference in how open Europeans vs Americans are to critique. Both deserve criticism for certain things, like the attitude towards migrants. I am really mad that the refugees are so often portrayed as dangerous or even terrorists by the mainstream media. I live in an European country, and a big part of the population wanted to keep the refugees out (but it's slightly better now).
You're saying that allowing refugees into Europe somehow gets rid of the good things in our nations/cultures. Can you elaborate on that?
You also talk about why we have certain laws, but mention them as if they justify themselves. Not all laws are automatically good, even though a lot of them work well.
The European countries won't become flooded by refugees. There's around 500 million people living in Europe, and how many refugees again?
Also don't forget how multiple European countries have colonized other parts of the world a few centuries ago. They were basically migrants, and they often enslaved or killed the inhabitants there. It has made me think a bit different about being proud of my country.
Nice John Oliver, but you forgot that:
1. They are not migrants, they are refuges. They were unwillingly displaced from their country.
2. Iran has also accepted a huge number of Syrian refuges (I'm not Iranian btw, I just say this because it's true)
3. Germany is not "the only country being nice to refuges", they are just happy to accept a few thousand middle-class families with cheap, educated workers. The economy of countries with low unemployment, like Germany, can benefit greatly from this crisis.
+Stavros Sachtouris
1. Only ~15% of them are from war torn Syria. Rest of them are from poor Africa/Asian countires but strangely They got few thousands of euro to pay albanian/russian/turkish mafia to transport them to Europe and prepare plans from rest of thier journeys...
2. But somehow Saudi Arabia doesn't want hem even when They're from the same culture...
3. Give me some real statistics of thier willingness to work...
+Stavros Sachtouris 3. Who else? Maybe Finland(but not so friendly) or Sweden. BTW not so happy anymore, because there are limits.
+The36th 1.) You give me a statistic on that first.
2.) Not the same "culture", holy shit.
3.) You are a racist, small-minded idiot.
+Stavros Sachtouris They are refugees till the point they leave the first country which isn't Syria FYI. The moment they leave the first safe country they become migrants.

It's really amazing how much *actual* good John and the people involved in LWT do with their resources. This episode and the one where John buys and forgives 15 million dollars worth of medical debt are my favorites. A little bit of *real* generosity, even in the name of comedy, goes a long way.
Hi, i think i haven't seen that episode yet, but i would really like to. Could you tell me what the episode is called?

That fucking camerawoman. I had to pause the video to facepalm, and say out loud "What the fuck.. is wrong with humans"
founoe Fuck off.
+founoe The man she tripped was a father trying to find a safe place for his child and himself, If that is what a terrorist is to you than frankly I'd be rather happy to buy you a dictionary for Christmas.
I was just simply surprised that ppl actually fucking do stupid shit like that
+Thundersub Yeah because on that film you can clearly see who that man is.
***** Even if that was true (you know you can make a false account, don't you), do you think that she knew this when she tripped him? You believe that she was just standing there peacefully and suddenly noticed that a man running nearby is an ISIS supporter who she knew from facebook? And by the way, was the child on his arms also an ISIS supporter? And the child she kicked later on, that was a terrorist too, right? Or maybe it's way more probable that she's just an evil woman? Which she is, for kicking a kid and risking the health of another, even if this one person was an ISIS supporter. Definetly not a hero.

+jlapierremusic american dont like muslim, europe on the other hand love muslim. thats why all muslim refugee heading for europe, dont hate us for not doing much but u simply dont take in people from country that dislike u.
+jlapierremusic America has a pretty unique heritage of accepting new immigrants and of those immigrants accepting America. It's been some time since any politician has made a career out of disparaging Catholics, Jews, Anglicans, etc., not to mention Hindus, Buddhists, Bahais, Sikhs. But then, none of those people have threatened to destroy the West and have actively killed Americans, have they? There's a huge difference between prejudice, hating people for what they are, and in hating and fearing a people for what they do.
+Chocolate Dinosaur Are you Christian because you clearly haven't read the ENTIRE bible. As Samson said, "With an ass' jawbone, I have made asses of them. With an ass' jawbone, I have killed a thousand men." Look at the Westboro Baptist Church, they are 100% pure Christian and FOXNews lashed out at them because they were too Christian for them.
***** Nah im not christian, because i personally think all religions are evil in there own way, but today ISLAM is the most evil, 400 years ago it was christianity now its ISLAM.
Chocolate Dinosaur You could say that. Islam is getting the most media coverage. But all it takes for Muslims to become the same as Christians if they don't live 100% by the Qu'ran. That's all.
Dear John Oliver,
I am the child of two immigrants and I have many friends and family whom are not living here legally. I liked this segment very much, but I'd also like to point out the things I _didn't_ like from this message.
My biggest problem is that you presented this issue largely using emotional appeal. The people whom are against immigration are people who are not concerned about the moral connotations of accepting or denying refugees or immigrants. To them, allowing immigrants enter their country is neither just nor unjust. So when you say "we have to do the right thing, we have to help war refugees," they often times don't see it as helping people in need, they see it more as economic drains on their economy.
Most of my family are staunch liberals, but the thing I hate most about liberals is that they _refuse_ to present statistical data about immigration. They rely solely on emotional appeal to "help" immigrants, but the people whom need to be convinced, conservatives, look at immigration as an economic issue, not a moral one.
So please, John Oliver, when you talk about immigrants and refugees, don't speak about how much we're helping people, *talk about how immigrants can help the hosting nation.* The people whom are against immigration can be swayed to help them, IF they are convinced that immigration is a benefit to their countries.
Please use more statistics and studies in your upcoming presentations about immigration. Immigrants often times have lower crime rates and create jobs when they can open up businesses. They can pay taxes when given the opportunity. Please rely more on statistical data and logical appeal than emotional appeal.
Thanks,
- An immigrant born American
+Axle Onex He's just a comedian
+Axle Onex I liked this comment. It makes sense and you are making a legitimate point about using facts over emotional manipulation/appeal. I don't think the Last Week Tonight people read the comments on UA-cam, but I'm sure they would agree with you if they saw this.
+Jacob Smith So is Rush Limbaugh. :^)
+Axle Onex
Yup, even someone who is extremely conservative is okay with immigration, As long as it's done legally and in a sane and controlled fashion.
Many of Europeans welfare systems are getting drained.
Developed western worlds can not bring every 3rd worlder in and turn them into middle class citizens!
Infinite wants vs Finite resources.
+Benedikt Stolz
When there is a huge housing shortage perhaps???
When the countries crime rates SKY ROCKET as a result of massive influx of 3rd worlders. Perhaps when Sweden overtakes S.Africa as the rape capital of the developed world???
The amount of 14 year old girls gang raped in Europe is DISGUSTING. Not to mention the UK rape scandal where 1400 kids were raped.
And i LOL at your second point, Tell that to Japan. More and more of these "service economy" jobs are becoming automated. Japan has robot waiters for fucks sakes. Artificial Intelligence is progressing at a fairly well paced as well.
The only reason they want more immigrants is because there governments view it as a way to cover the hole in their Social Security programs down the line.
The segment at the end might literally be the sweetest thing I've ever seen. I am actually crying right now.
The moment he looked straight into the camera and called her by name makes me teary eyed every single time. Also makes me smile really big
I’m a Syrian refugee and I am crying out of joy for Najeen.
Agreed! I wonder if Najeen ever saw it?
@@DorvellTStewart asking the real questions here.
This made me cry too
Aww, that's sweet John. you're actually the voice of reason and kindness in all of this.

And my faith in humanity is lost yet again.
+TitanicNeoTyphlosion "Facts are evil. People who disagree with my lies are evil."
+TitanicNeoTyphlosion His entire "argumet" is built around womanish appeals to emotions. Fuck him, and fuck you too.
***** Most of these people are innocent humans trying to find refuge. Yes, some may have bad intentions, but so do people of all races, religions and backgrounds. Are there things we can do to stop these horrible things from happening? Probably. Does that mean we should treat every person like that as a criminal, forcing innocent people out of the country or physically assaulting them, simply for the actions of the minority? No. Absolutely not.
Maybe I am naive in saying these people should be trusted. But I say it's better than the alternative. An alternative that breeds hatred and only leads to more hatred.
Stop wasting your energy trying to stop innocent people from trying to live their lives, and put your anger towards stopping the people solely responsible.
Robert Krause I'd like to know what's so wrong about treating innocent people like human beings.
But then again, what am I to expect from a person using a nazi symbol as a profile picture.
+TitanicNeoTyphlosion Don't bother. Germany is even having a flame up of legit neo-Nazis due to this. This world isn't a cruel place by chance, humans made it that way. Human compassion is such a rare thing, glad you managed to grow up believing in the good of people, as cheesy as that may sound.

***** Cultural marxists then
Cultural Marxism is the bane of western society and is what has got into us this mess. It's the reason the authorities tried to cover up 1400 girls being abused in Rotherham to preserve community cohesion.
My grandfather has sponsored two refugee families. I've met them and spent weeks seeing them on a regular basis. They're the most hard working people I know. They spend all their time and money on German courses and learning our ways to fit in. One family from Iraq and one from Somalia. Two children from each family that have gone through hell.
They are human beings like us and deserve a life just like us.
Your grandfather sounds amazing!
God bless your grand father
No they don't. Let them immigrate legally.
god bless you and your family
Wesly Stanton The way I see it the world will be mixed race in a millennium anyway. Why stop that trend? It's inevitable. So chill. If it doesn't affect you why should you bother to oppose something that cannot and will not be stopped?
First World Countries need the extra labor immigrants bring. They have a surplus of human labor and we can use it. Start thinking long term, ignoramus, and just accept that the world is as it is. It's going to develop as it has in the past centuries, the trend is not going to reverse all of a sudden and it shouldn't.
“No one is saying this is easy, but the fact it’s so hard is not a reason to do less - it’s a reason to do more.”
You sounded like a Starfleet Captain right there, John. 🖖🏻
They aren't migrants. They are REFUGEES. It's an important difference, European countries have legal obligations to take in a certain number of refugees.
+Ikine Bullshit!! If you come trough several safe countries to get to a rich one you are migrant.
+Balin LordofMoria Bullshit. That is simply not the definition of a migrant and considering the awful situation in the neighbour countries it's not surprising people want to get to other countries...
+Ikine The majority are migrants. 2/3 of the people coming into Germany aren't even Syrian. And I'm not even talking about the people that have fake syrian passports that you can buy for 750 dollars.
+Ikine
I guess you're not aware that only 20% of them are Syrian? And that these "refugees" refuse to go to any country other than Germany because they don't cater enough to them? Or that 75% of them are young males? Stop listening to propaganda.
Who said anything about them being Syrian? Or male? All I'm saying is that they are legally classed as refugees. And Syria is hardly the only country that persecutes and kills its citizens.
I thought this was one of the sweetest videos to date. But the comment section is messed up here O_O
Welcome to UA-cam.
+Los Blancos
Because not everyone is satisfied being fed propaganda like you.
***** aww, that hurt my feelings. haha.
seriously though, REfugees are more grateful of the country than the people that live there. I've seen that all my life. They work harder because they have more to gain. All i can say is that there might be some initial negatives. But in the long run i see positives form a social and economic view-point.
Also no need to hate on americans too much. Eurpoeans are as much as racist. europe and Hungary proves that. .
+Los Blancos it's sweet they show girls and families, even though most of the migrants are young men on their own, who left behind their families.
+Los Blancos Wow I dont know which galaxy you are from but this is Earth son, it aint fairytale and shit.
And muslim is not a race, if it were asians( which is a race ) I bet everyone would welcome them because they atleast behave. And on another point do you know why Japan is 1 of the best econom country in the world? It is because they dont take in muslim. PS not just Japan all asians country does that.
I have no problem with people who want or need to move to a better place to give themselves and their offspring a better life. We should welcome them with open arms because they demonstrate initiative and/or need.
I DO have a problem with people who leave or flee from their shitty, failing country and then try to make their new, better country more like back home. If your culture made the last country shitty then maybe, just maybe, you should leave your backwards culture behind and adopt the obviously better (or else why would you migrate?) ways of your new homeland.
thats a good point the problem is how do you separate them? specially since most of immigrants just want to leave peacefull. and some want you to believe ib what they believe. should the others pay?
+takemasterx live ' peacefully
+donfolstar their culture has nothing to do with the country's problem, it is the situation their country is in and the administration in power there. if a women escaped soviet russia during the cold war you wouldn't yell at her for wearing a russian dress or making beet soup or practicing whatever religion she happened to be.
+takemasterx They don't all just want to live peaceful, some want to just live like at home but with all the benefits offered by their new host country, not home country... HOST country because thats what it comes down to at the moment.
+takemasterx I think there just needs to be a strong push for assimilation along with an understanding that they bring their own culture. You do this by maintaining your country's laws and demonstrating a steadfast approach to an attempt to change things like religious freedom and freedom of speech. I'm going to guess that most of these people want these rights, then it's just getting them to defend it for others...which plenty of "native" Europeans don't even do.
as a white migrant, i have never faced any kind of mistreatment for my immigration status. this isn't an "anti-immigration" thing, it's a racism thing.
Does your group disproportionately commit crime, use public assistance higher than the native population, amd demand that the host nation change and accomodate you?
@@TA-by9wv yes. also you are a horrible human being.
no because his group is probably financially privileged, crime is most likely occur by people of the lower income it's a class thing rather than race, what a dumb point used by people who lack critical thinking @@TA-by9wv
@@TA-by9wv Let me ask you this, if you and your countrymen were forced out of their homes and fled to an unfamiliar country as a result, don't you think you and your fellows would need accommodation? If your 'native population' would require more public assistance than those refugees, I'd be truly worried.
Those natives likely speak the language, went to local schools and speak the language of whatever country you are in, all while not being displaced or risking their lives to escape a war. And while I can't speak for your country specifically, I can tell you that often it is not a case of disproportionally criminal groups of people, it's a case of disproportionally selective reporting of said crimes. We will save the topic fear of change for another day
@@Ulthek Let me ask you this, what percentage of the rape and murder stats are foreign born "refugees" and what is their percentage of the population? In Britain, France, Sweden, Spain, Italy, etc. Do you have any actual idea?
I've never disagreed with John so vehemently on any subject before.
Furthermore, I'm a personal friend of Mr. Toroczkai, the Hungarian mayor you mocked. He is the most hardworking man I know who is available 24 hours a day to help anybody in town. He will do anything from chopping wood to donating toys and food to poor families. There are times when he doesn't sleep for days because he is so busy. He has done hundreds of hours of community service and labor over the summer in order to keep his town clean and safe. You realise every day in the summer in Hungary there were THOUSANDS of migrants just running through town, trashing everything they saw? Hundreds of migrant men ROBBED, and BROKE into people's houses this summer in Ásotthalom. They stole bicycles and terrified children and caused forest fires! Did you know that the territory of Ásotthalom is a culturally protected habitat, one of the few places in the country practicing traditional farmlife? There are hundreds of rare trees in the area.
There was even a day in August when a group of 300 men sat in the middle of one of the main roads and effectively blockaded it, demanding that they are provided buses to Austria. There are photographs of all of these incidents on László's facebook page. Anyone can see them, check for yourself.
John, I'm sorry, but I'm deeply disgusted by this video. It is one-sided and rude. It is not funny. It is childish and tacky to the last degree. I would immediately apologise if I were you.
+Kittensinurface ok.. great guy apparently. but that is not an excuse to treat foreigners this way. Good deeds don't excuse bad ones
+Kittensinurface Its funny when it's about a biased view of Americans and the USA, but when it's thrown at you Europeans you can't take it.
Hmmm...
+Kittensinurface
Nice propaganda lies you came up with.
+Kittensinurface I honestly can't see your point. A bunch of people (immigrants) did some horrible things in Ásotthalom, OK. How many immigrants are living there? I'm willing to bet considerably more than the ones responsible for the crimes commited.
How do we get from that to denying asylum to refugees? Why would the actions of some reflect those of everyone?
+Kittensinurface Hungarian? Remember the Prague Spring? You know why people are so p-ssed off at Hungary? Because countries welcomed your refugees with open arms and now you refuse to welcome them yourself.

BonJoviworstbandever I don't care about sides right/left/north/south.
This piece about migrants, refugees or whatever else they called is biased in a wrong manner. hypocrisy because this thing was made by some dude in US that has probably strictest migration policy, "hurr durr yurop accept more you heartless bitch"
As someone who does not live in Europe, it appears to me that the biggest point you haven't considered is that Europeans, like most people, do not want millions of people that will bring a different culture to their countries. This will be a situation where Europeans will find it hard to keep their identity and heritage.
+yyyuuu100 "Europeans, like most people, do not want millions of people that will bring a different culture to their country" 1. Too late, it has already happened and will keep happening. 2. A long time ago, European powers and monarchies certainly did not mind doing precisely that to Africa, Asia and America...
+Rosabella Alvarez-Calderon Two wrongs don't make a right.
Besides, that was the actions of people long dead.
+yyyuuu100 Even if the whole population of Syria (and that is a massive overestimate) decided to leave and go to Europe, the population of Europe would increase by about 3%. Do you really think that 3% of people, in a country that isn't their own, will be able to completely destroy the local heritage? Even if they really try (which isn't the case)?
henry krupka
3% is a very big number when talking about population.
Again, we're imagining that the whole country of Syria is entirely deserted and every last inhabitant has decided to come to the same contient. And yes, 3% isn't nothing, but it's nowhere near the amount you'd need for people to lose their heritage. Sure it might bring some diversity, god forbid, but it won't remove any existing situation

Does anyone remember when muslims around the world burned Danish embassies and killed random scandinavic people while demanding that Denmark changed their laws to stop free speech, all because of some cartoons?
+Alex Spec Yeah we do, also, by coincidence, we've just passed the date of the 10 year "anniversairy" of exactly those drawings being published for the first time. Yup. It's that long ago. And while more than 90 per cent of danish muslims doesn't not wan't to see the drawings reptinted, more then 60 per cent of etnic danish people do. Just to stand up for that freedom of speech.
We've been making fun of our own queen, jesus, god, priests, the pope, buddha, and litterally all of the religions of the world. And very few ever burned a flag as a result of that. Until we tried making fun of Islam. That, one billion narrow minded people, couldn't handle. Even though we have tried again - and again, to explain that we make fun of litterally everything, and by not making fun of islam, we'd be singling them out, making it seem more racist/hateful, than if we treated them like we treat everyone else. That is the true curse of the muslim though. Thinking you're being treated differently when you actually aren't.
RADICAL Muslims...not normal Muslims. There's a big freaking difference
Guy Gardner Then why was all the media catering to them? Why was everyone blaming the cartoonists if they were just a few crazy muslims doing that? And why were all the polls showing majority support by muslims for violence against cartoonists.?Why were islamic politicians threatening with the boycotting and destruction of the danish economy?
+Alex Spec Lmao because polls where 100 muslims are being interviewed are proper examples of the entire muslim population.
Abdel O Maybe you should look into how polls are made. They`re not taking such a small sample and if done properly the accuracy is great. Also it`s the only way to see what populations think.
why the richest muslim coutries, i.e. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar and Bahrein do not accept refugies at all? What's wrong with them? Why Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Egipt accepted houndreds of thousands of them, but these monarchies almost none? And after that Saudi Arabia dares to say, that they are ready to build 200 mosques in Germany for the refugies!
+Mistir Knows Especially considering Saudi Arabia has an air conditioned tent city near Mecca that can house 3 million people, which only gets used a few days out of the year.
+Mistir Knows The gulf countries are very small with the exception of Saudi Arabia. UAE Already has more than 5 million indians working there. This is only one group. The People of UAE are like small fraction of only the indains. Saudi Arabia has 9 million foreign workers with 17 million saudis. They were about to hold Hajj which means more than 5 million people will visit makkah. They failed because they couldn't handle the big numbers. Saudi Arabia is right now in a war against groups in Yemen who are trying to takeover Yemen. With more than 3 Yemeni people in SA. It's very volatile. Let's not forget they have this weird standoff with Iran. SA is the only country that can handle the refugees but this time in its history it can't get any more unstable and dangerous. You should wish nothing would happen to saudi because sure europe will not wanna have millions of saudi refugees.
because those Saudi and the others you mentioned are already firmly Islamic. they want to spread outward and thus need to migrate to those countries that are not Islamic.
+Mistir Knows As far I as know, they do not want refugees in their countries, but the do however raise a lot of money for charity and refugee support
+Mistir Knows Only Twenty percent of the world's Muslims live in the Middle East. A majority live in Asia.
That Days of Our Lives clip that they created was perfect. I can only imagine how insanely happy that must have made that amazing young woman (19 / 20 years old now!)
I wonder if she ever saw it?
I love them for arranging that clip for such a brave young lady.
Seriously so cool
That shit made me 😭 I hope she saw that so desperately
What's "amazing" about her?
Other muslim countries, who share same history and values dont want em(and refugees dont want to go there because you would actually have to work there), and now we Europeans are bad for not wanting them here(most countries have no obligations to take them)?
+Pistets S to get to the countries you're referring to (saudi arabia, uae, oman, etc) the refugees would have to cross an enormous desert, which would be even more difficult than the journey to europe
+Syzygy314159 Bullshit.
+Syzygy314159 That's pure Bullshit.
+Pistets 4 OR 5 COUNTRIES refused. Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, Lebnon, Jordan have taken more then 12 MILIONS of refugees from afghanistan, iraq and Syria...
even Canada, USA AND AUstralia have REFUSED TO TAKE refugees but... WHO care of few?
duh, if you don't accept hundreds of thousands of migrants from a completely incompatible culture who hate you that means you're racist. get with the program buddy, take it up ass like a good boy
While realizing this is comedy program, this was an incredibly biased take on the situation that ignored many key aspects of this current invasion of Europe by so-called “refugees” such as the fact that only about a third are fleeing the civil war in Syria, the vast majority are unaccompanied young men, and that rape is endemic in the camps where they’re being temporarily housed. Counter to the charming young girl in the wheelchair, maybe John should have shown the video of a Muslim boy gleefully making a throat slitting gesture to the camera while being filmed at a train station. He might also have mentioned that ISIS has boasted that it has infiltrated the migrants with “thousands” of its fighters.
+Martin Rayner The video I saw of those migrants on the train showed them chanting
"O Allah let their children be orphans... Amen!"
"O Allah grant Islam victory everywhere... Amen!"
"Allah Akbar!" etc...
+Drunk Bastard the name of the vid pls
+Martin Rayner Well first of all if this is an invasion, where are their tanks? It's not anything close to an invasion and calling it like this is just a disgusting propaganda. And, if this was an invasion, then what would be the Polish migration to Germany and UK? A genocide? Because it's far larger than this so-called "invasion". Just because you're opposed to accepting the migrants doesn't allow you say anything you want., some words are acceptable while some are not, you may want to watch the beginning of this video once again to find out why. For example, I believe it's acceptable to say that many of those young men should be sent back or not accepted, if their only motivation is economy. But it's not acceptable to call them animals or anything like that.
Only about a half (and not a third, you may check this out even on Wikipedia in the article "european migrant crisis") are fleeing the war in Syria because - guess what - there are other civil wars and even other problems (like dictatorships) in the world. Does "Afghanistan" ring a bell?
There are some videos of boys making throat gestures, there are even videos of people throwing stones and rioting. However, they are overwhelmed by videos showing migrants... simply not doing those things. In fact, not doing anything dangerous, just behaving normally. So John's program was not biased, it just focused on the general situation, not the exceptions, and was based on facts, not speculations.
+Martin Rayner Oliver automatically taking PC approach when Islam is concerned.
***** Do you think Oliver would dare to criticize Islam, knowing next day he will be called a bigot and a racist? No fucking way, no one has the nerve to call out this death cult, other than Maher.

Defend Europe You need serious help.
Defend Europe You said that you "genuinely hope she gets hit by a bus." There aren't many ways to take that, especially when you use the word "genuinely." If you don't mean it that way, it would probably be better to choose something else. Reading intent in text can be tricky, with no inflection or expression to go by, particularly in short sentences.
Defend Europe You should find a more productive hobby, then. Personally, I'm not "triggered," overused as that is. Very few things push my buttons, and when that happens, it's never a good thing for the instigator. You'd know it if you hit one.

"Mosques dont naturally form in the wild due to religious beavers". That was just hilarious.
As a Muslim, I can say that that is NOT how mosques form
Omar Shah.. Really? Is it child bride tears that crystelize into them?
No. You build them. Out of building materials. Like regular buildings. The one I go to is made mostly of concrete.
Omar Shah but concrete is made of ground rocks, rocks wich are made from elements wich we know are formed in the core of stars.
But your holy book says god made the planet in 7 days.
So your praying in structures made by materials that disproove your holy texts? That just seem like bad practice if you ask me.
muuundo tarde what else were we supposed to use? Besides, concrete is a decent building material if I do say so myself. At any rate, how does praying in a concrete building disprove the fact that God created things that exist? And one more thing-God didn’t take seven days to create the world, and by extension, the singularity (that’s what I’m calling it) that the world and everything else came from. It was more like an instant, or just an infinitesimally small amount of time. I’m not exactly sure of the intricacies, but the point is, using concrete isn’t exactly heresy.
Not to justify Europe, but what about Saudi Arabia and other neighboring rich Islamic countries? Why aren't they welcoming any refugees, who are additionally of the same religion and similar culture as theirs? What's their excuse? No one is talking about that.
+Edith Esquivel To be fair, I don't think anyone in their right mind would want to emigrate to Saudi Arabia--the constant human rights abuses of its government are rather notorious. And for a lot of these refugees (especially Syrian refugees), European culture is actually a lot more similar to what they're used to than, say, Iraqi culture. The whole idea that Islam is super different from other religions is largely a Western political construct.
+Andrew Barrow I didn't know their culture was so different. It can't be, when they share Arabic at least. I know Islam is not such a different religion (I listen to Tapestry, CBC radio), but I mentioned it because it is normal for people among the same religious tradition to offer help, and even if Saudi Arabia and other rich Islamic countries are difficult, they would not be as difficult as war, I pressume, being wealthy and stable countries. Saudi Arabia: 0 / Kuwait: 0 / Qatar: 0 / Bahrain: 0 / United Arab Emirates: 250,000 They are collectively known as the Persian Gulf states, and even though they share a language and the Arabian Peninsula with Syria, the Gulf nations are among the few nations that haven't participated in the 1951 U.N. treaty on refugees, they are not legally obliged. However, morally, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have an obligation to help victims of a war in which those nations have been involved through their financial support of rebel groups that have fought Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. My opinion.
+Edith Esquivel Islam could vary greatly in its denominations, just think of the differences between Catholicism and Mormanism. Sunni and Shi'ates have divided Iraq even before the US entered the war with them. While the Persian countries should accept refugees, European countries should as well. Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey alone are taking in 4 million; Syrians have become 1/4th of the Turkish population, just think about that for a second. Finally, Europe and the US are the ones who worsened the Civil war in Syria as they have funded the Syrian rebels, not persian countries (Although Saudi Arabia has). My theory is that these Persian countries feel like they had no hand in this and those responsible, should accept the refugees.
+Zonda _ Saudi Arabia and Qatar are responsible too, as I mentioned above.
Edith Esquivel I certainly agree that Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the Emirates should be contributing monetarily. Any nation with wealth to spare should be (including the US)
Well she‘s not a camerawoman anymore. So she‘s actually right.
I mean... yeah. Guess so, even if she’s lying about not being hateful and intolerant.

The fuck you talking about?
@@sumitwarvatkar898 I don't see those consequences yet 🤔
When discussing the migrant crises there so many issues that needs to be considered. Unfortunately, this week Last Week tonight failed to talk about some major issues. The criticism against the Balkan states and Hungary is valid but historically there have been a lot of religious wars in that area and that might still influence the people. Germany deserves a lot of credit for leading the way with humanitarian motives. My concern in my home nation of Sweden is this in September between 25000-30000 refugees arrived and towards the end between 1200-1500 every day and we are not prepared for these numbers. Yes we can argue that European nations are becoming more racist but I don`t really believe that the majority supports those views. Also, no one is prepared to deal with the real problem, the wars. Humanity I see has a responsibility to act decisively against these terror groups but since no western nation has been attacked no one seems to give a shit. Lastly a question? How many refugees are allowed to enter Russia or USA these are big, rich and powerful nations they should be able to do more I think?
+TheStone To be fair to John, its rather hard to address all the nuances of the situation in under 20 min. Still, I see your points. Ultimately, though, if we do nothing, these people will die. I find it very hard to justify letting that happen under any circumstance. Would one reject Jews fleeing from the holocaust, citing "cultural heritage" or some other nationalistic nonsense?
+TheStone you see the refugees (don't know how apt that definition is considering they can pretty much roam across Europe without any regard for laws) have been surprisingly given the absolute right to decide which country they go to (which is absurd if one considers the dublin agreement) Cut your benefits policy (like denmark) and you will see their numbers automatically go down. Its not whether these refugees are allowed to enter the US or Russia (am pretty sure no one would want to enter Russia willingly) but whether they themselves want to go there! The cultural and lingual integration aspects depend and I am not going dwell on that too much but I do hope the swedish government ensures that ghettos like rosengard aren't created and that the immigrants are truly integrated into the society.
+Wayward Chronicler agreed. i think people should realize that people's personalities are created by their environment. everyone who's talking about how bad the behaviour of these people are should remember that, if we were born there, we would probably be their exact replica.
while i do think this crisis is more complicated than what this episode talks about, people seem to miss the basic message of this episode, that we shouldn't leave these people to simply die. we at least owe that much as fellow human beings.
+TheStone I am 100% with you, this is not a topic to be discussed in less than 20 minutes. I now see a lot of other videos from a different perspective. I often thought that the US has some redicilous rules but maybe this was just one side of the medal - just as this video?
Don't get me wrong, John Oliver is not my compensational-news or -panel show but this show was just very partial and did not make fun of real bad decisions.
Like the budget cut in the refugee-camps around syria. The EU cut the budget from already-ridiculous 150 Mio to 75 Mio which was leading to starvation there. A lot of right-wing parties voted for this cut. I mean saving 75 Mio....that is nothing on a european level.
+TheStone Well, after you pass through this large number of refugees they will eventually be of a benefit to your country, and decades later they will be more proud to be swedish than being syrians. Syrians are genius hard working people, they will defiantly help build the country more than it already is.

This issue is unlike most of the others John talks about, because it is so complex. There is no right or wrong like when he talked about "Food Waste" or "FIFA". The way he presented this was so biased and it focused too much on emotions. He wants us to believe that half the people are like the girl in the wheelchair, and the immigration policies are keeping people like her out. Much like the "Online Harassment" video, this issue seemed totally skewed and not very funny
Too emotional? That is exactly the way that issue is used from the politicians in Europe. And not in a good way. But in a very shameful way. In a way that I see no humanity anymore.
Miguel53de Both are effective but it's the wrong way to go about addressing this issue. The main problem is cultural assimilation, which is not going to happen. We're going to see divided countries with "Muslim areas". Migrants aren't moving into European countries, they're moving their countries into Europe
+Chandler Gray Do you realize you're talking about 4 million people? Can you really pretend to understand them all? God forbid you get lumped in like a cog in a machine without an individual's value.
+Chandler Gray Muslim areas?! Oh no, anything but that. The US has Chinatowns, Little Vietnams, Little Italy, and Amish communities just to name a few. Communities that hold to the culture of their native countries. Yet somehow the world keeps turning. You seem to only take issue when Muslims are involved.
+Chandler Gray Yes And He Is Commiting Many Logical Fallacies and Doesn't Understand The True Facts in this Situation.
Oliver: I'll post an innocent migrant girl, but sweep extreme terrorism under the rug.
But I thought every migrant was a cute little girl! Funny how the majority of them are grown men.
BurningOleander Why do you kind of people have to come up with lazy arguments like that? People criticize this program, and others alike, for presenting emotional arguments through innocent children while declining to talk about documented threats posed by uncontrolled migration. That doesn't mean anyone with competence is saying EVERY Muslim is a terrorist, because that is an argument destined to fail. No wonder why this show would attract such an individual like you.
+BurningOleander Learn to read used disposable douche. I never said every migrant was a terrorist. However, it's hard to argue most of the recent terrorism is from a certain category.
Pretty much

Girl is nice, but is there a war in Turkey, or is it a safe country?
If anything, refuges and emigrants should wait there, for UE help.
Not illegally cross UE border.
How US-Mexico border looks like you hypocrites?
And by the way, who cause that war in Syria? Not you USrael?
Turkey is like any other country really. But they are struggling with the influx of refugees from across the border, citizens from a country that culturally and historically have had issues with the Turks.
While the border is "secure", it isn't anyway far away enough from ISIS and the wars in the region as they'd like to be.
That Days of Our Lives clip made me cry. So sweet to do something for someone as wonderful as Nijean (hope that's spelt right).
It's like something I heard:
"You might not be able to help everyone in the world, but doing a good deed for a single person may feel like the world to them"
the one thing I wish he would've talked about is the child rape crisis that's going on. it's being looked over alot but its going in in the middle East and now in Europe.
Well that would go against the narrative John is trying to shove down our throats, wouldn't it?

+Ričardas Marozas Here's a shock, they still get to do that.

@Blue Crusader that couldn't be more pot calling the cattle black😂
Arguing with a racist and likely fascist ist futile, since as you pointed out, you don't accept the humanity of people that don't belong to your culture group.
Therefore I wish you the best of luck in finding someone, that can tolerate your toxic behavior.
I feel exactly the same pride about Hungary. Obviously not because of the 2 scumbags portrayed (and portrayed ONLY) here but because of all the disciplined and well measured efforts of the Hungarian police and armed forces to defend the country while everyone else was pointing fingers and calling them nazis. Then, many silently doing the same anyways. Ironic and repulsive IMHO. Nonetheless, a country is a country only as long as it can defend its borders. Once that is gone it is not an independent country anymore. I am a Hungarian living in minority just south of the border in Serbia. This gave me a front raw seat in the 2015 migration crisis. I saw swaths of men aged roughly 15 to 50. I barely ever saw women or children. Yet that is all you saw in western media. Just like on this show. I really thought Mr Oliver was smarter than this.
@@nagyonbalogh TBH it just feels like even given a choice you Hungarians wouldn't take in any refugees or have any sense of altruism to your fellow man.
what ever happened to human decency? are we to let the actions of the few determine how we see the many?
+Christian Neihart It went to Germany
+dagur7 No, stupidity went to Germany.
+Christian Neihart Serbia is behaving decent to them. They get medical aid, food, having the freedom of moving and as far as I hear preparing for the winter.
+PopoSimTalia Yup but did he mention that? Nope, not even a mention of Serbia, just the bad stuff that's been happening to them.

How many refugees United States take? Just asking...
And how many refugees United States make? Just wondering...
Dirt 117 ... You do know he may be in some other country, right? I love the US and americans in general, but that particular habit of automatically assuming if someone's using the internet or writing/speaking english they must be in the US is annoying as hell.
HEILLL NAAA ua-cam.com/video/5P8ILFWlBzA/v-deo.html Yes, These wars are mostly the fault of the US
HEILLL NAAA Some mistakes were made? The US started the war mainly because of oil. Then about the sources, as said in the video, the CIA had all those things on paper.
HEILLL NAAA Yeah, but this one did start because of the US. I am not saying that there were no tensions, but the US made it all horrible.
I see it like this, the eastern region is a soup, it is not seasoned well, so it doesn't taste great, but it can still be seen as an edible soup. But then the US comes in the kitchen an take a big shit/dump in the soup pot and ruin everything. Now the whole thing can be thrown in the garbage.
Beautiful Huschibaba. Beautiful.
I'm an European and I must say I'm shocked at how biased this material was.
1) Many of the refugees don't want to assimilate moreso some of them are forcing their culture in countries they live in.
2) In Poland refugees are promised 650 dollars per family for nothing while polish people are struggling to get payed 400 dollars minimum wage.
3) Refugees don't want to stay in countries that are less developed, they're even accusing the governments of not taking care of them when they are trying their best.
4) There are many refugees that are openly against other religions (you can see that on interviews).
I like John Oliver and I can understand that it's his job to say whatever they want him to but this was awful to watch. America also takes refugees so you can see how it all works.
+Marcin Górski don't be shocked. how much effort do they usually put in a story? well, the church thing took 7 months, the tobacco story required them to make a full ad campaign in Africa... i doubt this took more than 2-3 days, including the writing
+Marcin Górski
1) How would you know? Statistics please?
2.) I'm pretty sure you're not lying, however I'd still like to see where you got these numbers from.
3.) How would you know? Statistics please?
4.) Some are, yes, but no one is arguing that every single refugee is perfect. They're in fact just people.
Lolzerd3 News reports and internet, if you really want to please look for them yourself. I'm not that keen to prove a point to look for statistics.
And the numbers in the second one is common knowledge here in Poland.
Marcin Górski
That's not your duty as long as you're not arguing with me. I've done my research and there wasn't convincing proof for your statement.

*[CITATION NEEDED]*
Wow... Was für ein ekliger Kommentar... Ich hab den mal gemeldet...
I don't know why the focus on this episode was all about Europe when virtually all developed countries (except for Jordan) have done a terrible job of taking in immigrants. Particularly the wealthy countries in the Middle East that share a very similar culture have taken a grand total of zero Syrian immigrants. Almost the whole world has failed to treat these people the with the dignity and respect they deserve.
Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey have all taken millions of refugees. And while they definitely should make the process easier for refugees to work, you're forgetting that Jordan and Lebanon already have a big Palestinian refugee population for decades. These aren't developed countries and it's not like they're only deliberately withholding resources from refugees. These countries have a serious crisis of providing for their own people unlike many countries like Germany, France and Britain. Also, Europe did play a role in destabilizing not just Syria but Asia as a whole and I don't know why you think destabilizing an entire region for decades with endless neo-colonialist wars does not make most European countries culpable. Sure, few neutral countries like Switzerland might not be politically culpable but the majority of European countries very much are and it's frankly disturbing how you want to deny that culpability and make it all about 'those not so good Arab countries not taking other Arab refugees' when the reality is far more complex and nuance on that front and a lot more sinister on the part of Americans and their European allies.
@@aamnahere6250 Yes, 100%! I'm from Sweden and we're a tiny country who took in wayyyyy too many refugees (not that taking in many refugees is an issue, but we were not able to provide them with housing!) because other European countries did not carry their weight. As you said, countries in the middle-east take in millions of refugees, despite the other crises they're dealing with. Europe is an extremely developed and privileged continent, so the focus should definitely be on US and not on the neighbouring middle-eastern countries who are already doing so much.
Oh yeah? How many did Saudi Arabia take in?
Because it’s sexier to label Europe as racist than to call out Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations for being hypocritical racists themselves and offering zero help to their neighbours
@@aamnahere6250 turkey is not arab country
Disappointed with this video. Hopefully John Oliver will wake up when London becomes Londonistan.
So fuckin miserable to see a great civilization going down the drain in my life time. :(

And if it doesn't?
You know the fertility rate of arabic muslims?
3.1 (well above the threshold replacement level 2.1).
As mentioned in the video, the fertility in western europe is well below the replacement rate.
You won't see the effects now. Just wait for 2-3 decades to witness the impact on local demographics in europe.
And abt Scishow? Hosted by those leftist liberal hippies Hank bros? The same ones who suck upto the various islamic empires as beacons of human civilization while rant on abt how alexander doesn't deserve 'the great'?

“The truth”, the actual truth, can almost never be offensive. It can be hurtful - “does this dress make me look fat?” “Yes.” - but not offensive, not in the way bigotry is.
this video has not aged well
In what way?
Mister Oliver. Over 130 people were killed in Paris during recent terrorist attack. At least one of them had Syrian passport and was reported to be among the refugees who arrived to Greek island called Leros. I don't think this is one of those "poor people" who enjoys watching american shows.
Im from portugal where there already are thousands of homeless people. Those still live in the streets and nobody proposed to house and feed them for free. I respectully opose bringing in and caring for refugees and migrants unless our own people get taken care of.
+maoristereo PS. Population drop is exactly what the world needs.
+maoristereo Tell that to the 262'000 Portugese who immigrated into Switzerland. 2.5% of your total population live in my country, and we actually allowed them to get jobs here and didn't "respectfully decline" them.
+Hawkeye Bear didnt know that all Portuguese speak swiss and have a healthy understanding of the swiss culture good to know i guess
Hawkeye Bear
I don't have any issues with the Portugese in my country. That was just to show him that his people are economic migrants in other countries too.
Also I'm really wondering where you're getting your numbers from. Because, according to the BBC and the International organisation for migration, only 350k-400k refugees crossed into Europe in the first 8 months of 2015.
If Switzerland with 8m population can take in 250k portugese (plus another 1.75m other foreigners), then Europe with 500m people can take in half a million Syrians altogether. We just have to distribute them evenly. Meaning the UK and Eastern European countries should take in their fair share and not leave everything to Germany and Sweden.
Soff1859 Those portuguese migrants are working, not mooching. The second they stop working they get the boot of the country.
This is so cool and emotional... the first LWT episode I ever watched, one of the best ones... never stop doing this John!!
So Slovakia has to build mosques, you say? Go try building a church in Saudi Arabia and tell me what happens...
Let's see... they'll probally let you build a church
+mbanana23456 Are we both talking about Saudi Arabia, the country which imposes the death sentence for Bible smugglers?
gregory they're America's best ally what do you expect, them to have concern for basic human rights?
+gregory he has not said that
+mbanana23456 LOL, the US may not have the best human rights policies, but it has the best human rights practices compared to any country.....
As someone from Slovakia I must say, that we dont have money for our people, so why the hell we will build mosque for muslims? We are christians here and not muslims, if they want their place to worship their god, they should buy a land and build one.
+Marián Sedlák Obviously your country is not culturally enriched enough hence you're in dire need of some muslims with real culture.
GiantPizzaSunset and for that we need mosque? I dont think so, they can do the same like jehovah witness.
+Marián Sedlák he was being sarcastic. I hope Slovakia doesnt take in any, it will be relatively safe when shit goes down.
Cláudia Silva
What makes you think i was being sarcastic? Why don't you want these nice people living in our countries, don't you know they just wanna spread the religion of peace.
+GiantPizzaSunset
Islam the "religion of peace"? Now THAT sounds sarcastic. And do you know who are in dire need of some cultural enrichment? Countries in Arabia. If European countries are asked to take in people from different cultures, those Islamic states should be asked to take in non-Muslims, too. And they should be asked to be kind them them as well. And build places of worship for them, and to allow them free expression of their beliefs. That's only fair.
I have lost so much respect for John Oliver and Last Week Tonight after seeing this episode.
+Conor7734 33 you also ignore the fact that those countries use "rape" very liberally. -.-
+Mister mood Let's, for a second, entertain the idea that the increase of rape in those countries isn't rape. Let's classify it under violence. In that scenario, the cases of violence have shot up drastically, and that is also unacceptable. But in reality, you don't get to determine what counts as rape and what doesn't. The Swedish and Norwegian governments classify rape in a certain way and if rape rates have skyrocketed since the immigrants entered, then that shows that many of them are violent and backward people.
+Conor7734 33 Europeans have run away from every difficult moments that they have get in their country without asking if would be ok or not, it would make sense that the closest wealthy land would receive them. Is not a matter of convenience but a way to be humanitarian.

***** no i do not like it since i despise the islam and religion in general, but your prediction is pretty unlikely since there is a phenomenon called integration which tends to occur when people migrate into a different country.
tirolervollmilch
There's plenty of people who have become rather poor within past year or two due to increasing rates of unemployment. It's simply a fact and you can't seemingly handle it. We have enough on our plate as it is.
I'm confused about why population decline is a bad thing? Isn't overpopulation a problem?
+Brette ALL economic models only work with a slightly increasing population. Below a certain population growth rate, the economy will collapse, taking the civilization with it.
+y1hardtop once countries reach level 5 of the demographic transition model, the population begins to decrease. That's the trend that all developed countries follow. It's happening to Denmark, and the Netherlands, and Belgium, and it would be happening in the US if so many immigrants didn't settle, which stops the population from decreasing.
+Brette Overpopulation is bad especially in developing countries like countries in Africa, but in developed countries if you have a decline in population that is also bad, In Japan and some EU countries they might not have enough people to sustain their economies. Now maybe for mother nature and the environment that would be a good thing but for humans its bad.
The flawed economic system depends on a population pyramid scheme where it needs more desperate people joining at the bottom to overly enhance those at the top who use that excess wealth to prevent those on the bottom from competing with those at the top all the while convincing them that they will reach the top as even more desperate people join the bottom which requires irresponsible reproduction thus the term "swarm". Clear now?
+SayWhat?
THIS! So much This!!

Bennett McCoy Read the article, and I honestly don't seem that much of a problem with a bunch of people practising their religion. Plus theyre like a bit over half of them. Also, 288 out of 4000 is extremely low wtf. I'm sure that if u asked the same thing to christians in america most of them would say the same shit about their beliefs, especially those in more secluded people. TL;DR, I dont see ur point as I also believe most.of those things and theres no chance of me instigating a revolution. You people are wayyyyy too scared of ppl practising what is literally their religion like any other religious person.

Technically, the US is made of immigrants :P
+Joshua the Coder No, but here we are talking about the refugees from recent conflicts
well it's kind of true, but how many have crossed the indian+pacific ocean or all of africa and the atlantic ocean on boat? :')
20.000 estimated mexicans cross the border to go to Usa every year.
15.000 migrants cross the sea every 5 days in Europe. And I am not even talking about the other routes.
This ending made me cry 😢 ♥️ That was lovely 💕 I hope Naim (I’m not sure about the spelling), helps out withthis difficult life experience to make this world better and bring us together as humans.
My honest opinion as a German: its great that my Country is (still) quite positive about this, but I don't understand the euphory. We should not isolate our country, but nonetheless we should not welcome anybody but have clear restriction and enforce them, or our country, economy and the positive culture towards imigrants will break apart.
And: I hate the bias in the the media and all that bullshittery about all those little heartwarmin stories... - no one talks about refugees / immigrants / aspirants starting to deal drugs at middle schools and I am kind of sad that Oliver failed to cover both sides of the medal.
+Speakerator They deal drugs because they are shunned out of the mainstream economy because they are immigrants. Sometimes people have no other alternative, deal or starve. At least, they aren't harming anyone who doesn't want to be harmed.
+Speakerator Pretty sure Germany is just overcompensating for all that Hitler stuff. There definitely needs to be a stricter screening process.
+Speakerator "no one talks about refugees / immigrants / aspirants starting to deal drugs at middle schools"

+Fragenzeichenplatte you don't need a citation to argue that economic differences lead to people taking up unethical measures to compensate and eradicate the same.

the birth-rate is low, and what could happen, is that the migration of Muslims will come, and have 3-6 children per-family, will in a matter of 20-45 years will take over those communities/countries and then with voting power, will lead to what? just think about it??
+Michael Walker (Chewabacca) It's a good day to buy defense stocks...

+fallofthestars Well Saudis they get a free pass while being busy exporting madness besides it's not the only country in the middle east not giving a single fuck while Europe just have suck it up.
+Rickard Johansson They will never take refugees. This is not about money. Europe is being invaded by muslims and this is exactly what they want. They are the ones financing isis. The current situation is perfect for them.

Nijean teaching herself English through days of our lives is fantastic. I wish the absolute best for her.
The USA are the main readon for most of the refugees on this planet right now. And they are willing to take in 10k refugees. That is the same amount of people who arrine in Munich, Germany EVERY DAY. But hey, let's make a video of how Europe should handle this crisis.
Yes, I am bashing the USA for this. And as much as I love this show - you didn't even talk about what the USA should or could do to help. If the USA would take in more refugees Europe wouldn't have this big of a problem. But hey... 50 % of you want to vote for a president who is promising to build a wall at the mexican border. If the USA would take in more refugees (on whos backe they created their wealth) the EU would gladly pay the flight tickets. It's cheaper than keeping them here.
Here is another problem: If we wouldn't help the refugees, in ethical ways it would be considered murder by western standards. But Saudi Arabia wants to build mosques in Germany instead of taking in refugees...so...hey... And let's think about our future. If you let people die today you create your future enemy. A drowned father might have children who survive the war and who will revenge their fathers death in 20 years by flying a plane in some building. That's what happened 14 years ago.
And one last point why I think the USA are doing a terrible job here. Here in Germany we take all refugees in. Because evey life is worth saving. The 10k refugees the USA take in are very strict chosen by profession and education. Not even 1 uneducated refugee will set foot on their ground. They only take doctors, engineers etc. Because that's the only lifes which are worth saving, right.....?
Fuck the USA, fuck their system and fuck their ignorance.
+SirKahless Almost exactly what I thought.
(minus the last bit)
Don't just shit feces out of your mouth, show me where it says the EU would actually pay to fly refugees from there to the USA. I've never heard that before, maybe it would help!
+SirKahless I enjoyed the slew of uneducated babel that I just read. However I believe it is time you get your facts straight before you bash on an entire country. Why is it that everyone always turns to us for the biggest contribution for assistance whenever there is a time of need? America does it's part but damn, how about a break. Where exactly are we suppose to put these hundreds of thousands of refuges? In the same place we put our impoverished and homeless? How quick you idiots are to judge without knowing our situation. So here's a little food for thought because I really couldn't care less about you opinions... look up how the wealth in the US is distributed, the greater population here would give their last dollar to assist those in need because that's what we do.. however those that COULD make the biggest difference are racist neanderthals that wouldn't so much give a dollar to a starving child as long as they aren't white or christian.
+SirKahless It's almost as if refugees and knocking on Europe's door, and not America.
EisforEvil
There is that thing called "Atlantic Ocean", maybe that's why..
It's easier to cross it for american troops than it is for refugees. That's what SirKahless was also trying to say.
During the "refugee crisis" I was so proud to be German. If someone seeks asylum for whatever reason, they are more than welcome!
