  1. 1.1 million refugees, 80 million inhabitants in Germany = 1.375 pct. Not really many if you compare it to the immigrants that UK or France took. Time for Germany to take their share.

    Gotta put this into perspective: How many rich, Islamic countries are opening their arms to Islamic refugees? Lebanon and Jordan, both small countries have about 1m each. So why isn't Wahabist Saudi Arabia opening it's arms to a million or more displaced Muslims? What about the UAE? Kuwait? Bahrain? Oman?

    "A Kuwaiti official has cleared up the mystery floating why none of the oil-rich Gulf nations, including Saudi Arabia, have yet allowed the Syrian refugees fleeding the savage civil war in their land to set foot on their shores.

    Kuwaiti official Fahad Al Shalami told France24 television in a broadcast interview on Sept. 2 that in fact, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) should never accept Syrian refugees."

    That's why. Google it. You can source the quote.

  2. Frankly, I am horrified (if not surprised) by the racist, xenophobic votes and posts here. We were all privileged to be born in well-off countries with world access, male, and English speakers. We've never had the threat of bombs dropping, levelling our houses, schools, and hospitals and drone attacks of our weddings and funerals.

    Sure there may be a few fanatics among the refugees who perhaps could be revved up to become terrorists. But 99.999999999% are just people like you trying to make the best life for their families in a safe place.

    Honestly, your lack of compassion for a problem our well-off countries, particularly the US, have created is appalling. If it were your family & community which was so threatened, you, too, would trek thousands of miles to safety. Show some respect for your fellow humans!

    The average 'refugee' is a single male Mulsim between the age of 18 to 35 traveling without families. This isn't a refugee crisis, it's an invasion.

    Again, why aren't the oil rich counties of Saudia Arabia, The UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman taking a million+ refugees each is a show of Muslim charity?

  3. Merkel has made another speech in which she says deep down she know the crisis can only be solved by EVERYONE WORKING TOGETHER to stop the root causes of migration as it's bigger than a national issue.

    Pity she didn't think about everyone else when without consultation she opened hr mouth and invited migrants to Germany increasing and accelerating the problem. Now without batting an eyelid calls on Europe to bail her out.

    Merkel did think of everyone else when she facilitated this crisis. Create crisis, provide solution is the dialectic of the Left. The synthesis is the continued evolution of Western governments that are a leftist caricature of their former selves= Progressivism- incrementalism. Welcome to the world of the Fabians.

    All recent governing in the Western world follows this model exactly. Every step, the crisis and the solution, are crafted toward the same end. (Obama is a master without equal at this. Merkel is a close second). The solution always employs the "will" of the people by promising to fix things, address problems with the solutions of government, etc. What the solutions always do, in every case, is loan legitimacy to the crisis created; recent current events are a long train of fraudulent pretexts. This is on display in Switzerland with their take migrant possessions sleight of hand and equally in the UK with their English learning initiative. Always build upon the fiction and make the citizenry complicit in outcomes by providing the solution that only pacifies the moment.

    Gotta admit the dialectic of 'Problem, Crisis, Solution' works well for those pulling the strings in the West. Good analysis.

  4. If they didn't want media attention, then why parade the body publicly. Gotta call BS on the hype. If it was my Super-star family member, I'm sure the deceased estate could afford having the body moved anonymously to an undisclosed location, and with no fanfare. But parade in front of the media? Like swimming in a pool of sharks while oozing blood from a cut leg. Really, what does a rational person think is going to happen.

    I have no sympathy for lakorn or the media, nor the followers of both. Absolutely tragic what happen to Mr. Por, and his death should be publicized as a public awareness campaign regarding the dangers of dengue and a call to action for the government to fund attempts to find a vaccine for the disease, and eradicate breeding locations. But in this day and age, you can hire security specialist to make the process of moving his body, his funeral, and cremation a strictly private affair. But the family chose a public display. Only the family is to blame. The family are not victims. They have enough money to assure privacy if that's what they wanted.

  5. "We do not condone this sort of behavior with the tigers and this situation is being dealt with. This incident is not a frequent occurrence.

    Imho, where there is smoke, there is fire.

    The unfortunate problem with animal 'sanctuaries' are that animals are kept out of their natural habitat. Why are they kept out of their habitat? How many 'wild animals' have you seen in Thai forests outside of reserves? If allowed to roam, they would be hunted to extinction within a few years like every other animal that use to be plentiful in the once vast expanse of Thai forests that use to exist within the memories of some of the oldest citizens of Thailand. Within reserves, they are never the same. What's the solution? The UN and elites want to bottle up the human population in densely packed cities under the moniker of 'sustainable development', move most of the populace out of rural areas, corporatize farming, allow the rural infrastructure to crumble, allow the forests and wild areas to become 'wild' again, and decrease the population of humans to a manageable 500 million souls.

    In an absurd way, I can understand their logic: the greater good of the planet and other wild species other than man; on the other hand, that "Georgia Guide Stones' model simply puts the animals in the sanctuaries back into the wild, and takes the humans out of the wild and puts them in sanctuaries. So instead of animal handlers punching the animals they care for, the elites become, as Orwell aptly put, "[A] boot stamping on a human face - forever."

    I don't see a solution. Well, shy of letting the nuclear genie out of the bottle, an X-50 class solar flare, or a large comet/asteroid hit. Back to square one and let God reconsider his grand plan for a human species, some whom are the epitome of good, some whom are the epitome of bad, and most whom are mired in an existence of hedonistic, apathetic mediocrity."

    this is quite simply not true.

    The aim of conservationists is to create SUSTAINABLE eco-systems that will enable the planet to keep hold of its natural resources that are essential to all life including humans

    For instance there are various categories of national p[arks and nature reserves throughout the world that are defined by their designated usage, some re for wildlife only but others acknowledge that humans have existed in that particular eco-system and are included, others are using agriculture and other human usage (e.g.tourism) to make the system sustainable. There are in fact many, many ways to achieve a workable and sustainable eco-=systems; simply turning the cock back or excluding humans is seldom, if ever, the aim.

    Time will tell.

  7. "Hi, I'm from the IMF and I'm here to help!"

    The International Monetary Fund recommendations include:
    allowing asylum-seekers to take jobs while waiting for a country’s official approval to stay;
    governments paying employers part of refugees’ wages to get them into work as soon as possible;
    and even suspending certain rules on minimum salaries. And it has to happen fast.

    Translation: "Bankrupt your countries, turn your backs on your own citizen, take loans from the IMF, turn your country into Greece, take out more loans from the IMF to pay the interest on your overdue loans which bankrupted your country, rinse, repeat...."

    My personal perception of the IMF and banks associated with it is summed up by Matt Taibibi:

    "[A] great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money"
    -- Matt Taibibi in describing international bank Goldman Saches1

  8. Shouldnt let them in in the first place .

    Question:

    1. How many migrants have been given refuge in Vatican City?

    2. How many migrants have been given refuge in Saudi Arabia?

    3. How many migrants have been given refuge in the UAE?

    4. How many migrants have been given refuge in Bahrain?

    5. How many migrants have been given refuge in Kuwait?

    Lebanon and Jordan have over 1 million each. Why not the rich Arab countries and the home of the highly critical Pope?

    Saudi Arabia: Only refugees with relatives who have been granted residency (approx 100k) are allowed in. Saudi Arabia bases its refusal to house more refugees because it is not a signatory on the 1951 United Nations Refugee Convention. Wonder why. But the EU is bad for not allowing unlimited migration. Go figure?

    The UAE: Houses about 100k 'residents' and funds Jordanian refugee camps. "Go there, don't come here." But the EU is bad for not allowing unlimited migration. Go figure?

    Bahrain: 300. Wow! But the EU is bad for not allowing unlimited migration. Go figure?

    Kuwait: "Kuwaiti official Fahad Al Shalami told France24 television in a broadcast interview on Sept. 2 that in fact, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) should never accept Syrian refugees." Doesn't that say it all. But the EU is bad for not allowing unlimited migration. Go figure?

    Vatican City: One Melkite Greek Catholic family of four individuals fleeing Syria. Wow! Pope Franky, leading by example!!! But the EU is bad for not allowing unlimited migration. Go figure?

    So why is it again that Europe or any other non-Islamic nation should open it's doors to unlimited foreign migration from predominately Muslim nations when the wealthiest Islamic (and Catholic) countries don't want them inside their borders? Hypocritical to say the least, imho.

  9. the pedestrian appears to be crossing cautiously. is the bike rider paying attention? it's not like the pedestrian appeared out of nowhere.

    It's my experience that Thais are incapable of planning or anticipating. The average car driver doesn't see beyond 1 meter in front of their hood, and the average motorcycle rider doesn't see beyond 1 meter in front of their front tire. If you navigate Thai roads, plan accordingly.
