Seems like you and I are about the only ones on TV who believe that this is actually the dynamic that is taking place.

 

And, then, you have others that also believe this, such as John Mearsheimer.

 

But, we are definitely in the minority here.

 

NOTE:  Unfortunately, John Mearsheimer is not a member of the TV forum, and he does not post here.

Da*m site better than sleeping rough on the streets like normal citizens who are down on their luck do

Let’s be honest: most of us would rather see others suffering. Especially those we don’t quite regard as fully human, such as migrants. The sight of someone else’s pain often adds a strange sense of meaning and even joy to our own lives.

This is great.

True, look at what happened during the countries who were The Allied Force in WW2, shortly after the war was over in Europe the Russians became the enemies.

 

When the Americans won the world war in the Far East they quickly gave support to Japan in order to stop the Russians moving in.

 

Even now after decades of pushing the Russians into a corner by the expansion of the West forcing Russian to invade Ukraine in order to gain land as a buffer to our expansion we blame them for the war and think we are innocent of any hostile action against them. 

What a bunch of nonsense! Forced Russia to invade Ukraine? You must have gone through a lobotomy to write such stupidity. What ‘Western expansion’ are you even talking about? Did you ever go to school? This sounds like something straight out of a Stalinist classroom. Ignorance and stupidity in their purest form. No wonder you’re supported by that clown Gammaglobulin — the most despicable figure on this forum.

And, do you REALLY want these people living next-door to YOU????

 

 

It really would not be fair to uproot them and move them to Chappaquiddick Island...they would not be happy there...

Would they????

 

 

 

 

NIMBY.....

 

Not in my backyard, please.....

 

The culture down there in Africa is .....let us be plain.....

GARBAGE

 

Can you deny it?

 

Note:  But if you love it so...then you are FREE TO GO....anytime.....

 

Why stay in a migrant hotel in England when ALL migrants from Africa are welcome on Chappaquiddick Island.

 

Chappaquiddick Island is relatively unpopulated, just like the UK.

 

There is plenty of room to camp-out on Chappaquiddick....

 

Just pitch your tents.

 

Plenty of space to roam the island, and the local inhabitants are very welcoming....

 

You can catch fish on the private beaches, too.

 

 

 

No need to go to the UK, and stay in the crummy hotels.

Just head for the USA, and places like Martha's Vineyard....

 

Just this small island has plenty of room for about 50,000 migrants, or more...!!!

 

DON'T DELAY.....

 

Plenty of Room.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Tale of Two Worlds: The Demographics of a Continent and an Islet

 

The demographic landscapes of Africa and Chappaquiddick Island present a study in contrasts, highlighting the vast spectrum of human population distribution, composition, and dynamics on our planet. While Africa is a continent of immense scale and youthful energy, Chappaquiddick is a small, predominantly white, and aging enclave.

Population and Scale: The most striking difference lies in the sheer scale of their populations. Africa, the world's second-largest continent, is home to a rapidly growing population of approximately 1.5 billion people as of 2024. In stark contrast, Chappaquiddick Island, a small island off the coast of Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, USA, has a year-round resident population of around 253 people, according to the 2020 census. This equates to a population density of about 52 people per square kilometer in Africa, while Chappaquiddick's is significantly lower, though it experiences a substantial influx of seasonal residents during the summer months.

 

Age Distribution: The age structures of the two populations are diametrically opposed. Africa is characterized by a remarkably youthful population, with a median age of just 19.3 years. An estimated 60% of the continent's population is under the age of 25, portending significant future population growth. Conversely, Chappaquiddick Island exhibits a much older demographic, with a median age of 63.4 years. A substantial portion of its residents are over the age of 65, reflecting a community that is largely composed of retirees and older individuals.

 

Diversity: Ethnic and Linguistic: Africa is a continent of unparalleled ethnic and linguistic diversity, comprising 54 countries and thousands of distinct ethnic groups and languages. This rich tapestry of cultures is a defining feature of the continent's social fabric. Chappaquiddick Island, on the other hand, is a largely homogeneous community. The 2020 census reported that 92% of its residents are White, with very limited representation from other racial or ethnic groups.

 

 

Growth and Fertility: Africa has the highest fertility rate of any continent, at approximately 4.1 births per woman. This contributes to its robust annual population growth rate of around 2.35% to 2.5%. This rapid growth presents both opportunities and challenges for the continent's development. Demographic data for Chappaquiddick does not indicate significant natural population growth; its population dynamics are more influenced by migration and the seasonal influx of visitors.

 

 

Urbanization: Across Africa, there is a significant and ongoing trend of urbanization, with about 45% of the population currently residing in urban areas. This figure is steadily increasing as people move from rural to urban centers in search of economic opportunities. Chappaquiddick, being a small island, does not have a comparable urban landscape and is characterized by a more rural and residential environment.

 

 

So....the demographic comparison between Africa and Chappaquiddick Island serves as a powerful illustration of the vast demographic disparities that exist globally. Africa's profile is one of a young, rapidly expanding, and incredibly diverse population on a continental scale, while Chappaquiddick represents a small, aging, and largely homogeneous community on a tiny island.

 

THIS is why Chappaquiddick Island NEEDS migrants from Africa.

Life is just too boring in New England.

 

All the Blue Bloods are getting very bored, just as the are in parts of England.

 

Western culture, also, is just too boring....

 

And so, ASAP, we need more migrants from Dark Continents like Africa to come to New England, and ENGLAND, too....

 

Everybody will be as happy as pie when they do.....

 

For sure, obviously,....maybe....

I am not supporting any country or individual, my opinions are based on the obvious.

 

Since you asked me directly which school I went to it was Oxford University (Trinity).

 

Which school did you go to, one of those American schools which forces you pay an allegiance to the flag every morning and hate so called communists?

 

A totally one sided half-education I bet. 

 

You asked "What ‘Western expansion’ are you even talking about?", well an example of that would be NATO for a start, look it up and see what it stands for as you probably think it is a football club or something similar. 😃

 

I doubt you even needed the lobotomy you mentioned in order to have such stupidity. 

 

I don't normally fall down to this level of rudeness  but as that is the only thing you seem to understand judging by your rude comment, I reciprocated.

TBH its their own doing.

All this started with very tight visa restrictions especially for genuine tourists, whilst these asylum seekers and border jumpers were given a feather touch - If I remember right, it was around mid 80's it started (I might be wrong here).

Now, sadly the West is a pure hell hole - just see in this video how these 'inmates' behave and their attitude.

No.

Because....

 

If one is a citizen of a country, such as England, then there would be no justification for IQ testing in order to discriminate one from the next.

 

However, for migrants, or immigrants, there is every justification.

 

However, as you say, ALL immigrants should be given IQ tests for screening, without regard to country of origin.

 

And, let the IQ chips (meaning IQ chimps)  fall where they may.

Last trip to the states we had a few nights (7) in hotels in the SF area....

There were clumps of them just hanging out in the walkways 24/7 with nothing to do....Women standing in doorways plying their trade.....

Every eyeball following the movements of every other guest.....

There were some hotels with 25-40 people just hanging & watching out....

Our RV needed about a week's work.....We only had apps to locate/check out lodgings....

Finding some with security, safe parking, without clusters of people permeating the place was difficult - even with searching a 70+ mile radius of San Francisco....

The homeless were also out sleeping under roadways & asking for money at stop signs.....Encampments sprouted out along side roads..... Places I knew from the past, I no longer knew in the present....

We're spending late Sept 25 to January 26 there RVing.... I'm seriously considering getting gunned up....

 

Bleak....

What hotels, price points and city were you at? Were they Mexicans?

 

I am from that area but have not been back in years. Am thinking of visiting family, but don't remember hotels being that bad.
