tinfoilhat Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 No, it's incorrect full stop. MrSmiths claim is plain wrong. Untrue. False. You've made the top bit bold, so you must have some idea what I'm driving at. Are we the least equipped to deal with immigrants ? Of course not. Have we ample room and resources to deal with loads more ? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmith Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Really? I'd have thought Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Malta, Liechtenstein and many other smaller countries would have much less space than us. They wasn't on the list of top migrant destinations.

MrSmith Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Your statement is still false even they aren't. My statement is accurate but I would be happy to read the reasons you think it isn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 My statement is accurate but I would be happy to read the reasons you think it isn’t. It's obviously blatantly false, but if you think I'm spending the next three hours pointing that out to a person with your laughable credentials you can boil your face for soup.

If you don't want to have a discussion about it why post anything at all, people will think you are just trolling again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not. Have we ample room and resources to deal with loads more ? No. The statement, made as it was without any qualifiers is clearly wrong - MrSmith states - ''when you take in to consideration the size and population of each country we are the country least able to absorb them.'' He says 'each country'. Without qualification. Therefore he is referring to each country in the world. Since there are quite plainly many countries less well equipped to accommodate immigration than we are his statement is obviously false. If he meant something else, he should have said something else. If he now realises that without qualifying statements the statement is false he should say that and add qualifying statements to explain what he really means. ---------- Post added 26-02-2013 at 18:33 ---------- If you don't want to have a discussion about it why post anything at all, people will think you are just trolling again. Given that your statement is self evidently false - see my explanation above in response to tinfoilhat - it's much more likely that people will assume that you are trolling again.
