MintPlumbing Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Why stop at an illeagal war? We cant be going into countries like that, and not helping at the backend. Reap what you sow. ---------- Post added 08-08-2015 at 13:16 ---------- Its not only about money, its about taking responsibility. ---------- Post added 08-08-2015 at 13:17 ---------- Repatriate back to what? ---------- Post added 08-08-2015 at 13:21 ---------- What about the west stopping meddling in other countries affairs for a change? The continent they left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnailyBoy Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I agree we should help the Greeks to repatriate them back to their own continent and give as much help as possible to the people that haven't run away for their problems. What would you do in their position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MintPlumbing Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 What would you do in their position? I would do as my ancestors did, stay and fight to make my country a better place for future generations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*_ash_* Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Very admirable, but in reality, what would you do? In the [distant] past people used up the resources in one place then moved on. Later and perhaps in the last couple of hundred, people have moved to where the work is. In the most, people here have stopped moving to where the work is, because you can still just survive on benefits wherever you are. It's taken 50 years or so to get to the point where we are now balance wise - allowing hundreds of thousands of people in like TJC wants will undoubtedly alter the balance. Most likely, and like most places in the world, it will just dilute the wealth, until we're all poor. Socialism at it's best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you were in Syria and were being bombed by your own Government and threatened by ISIS you'd arm yourself and shoot back at Government planes whilst simultaneously fighting ISIS. I'd really love to see that, but suspect the reality would be very different. I believe that children are our future. Unless we stop them now.

The Joker Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 So how much money are we all willing to give to help these people? Let's agree a figure! How much have the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq cost us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vague_Boy Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Then go back when its not a war zone. Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. What connects the current conflicts in those three countries. Oh right, we started them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeh Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Over 100k in greek islands and italy. We must do more to help greece cope with these people fleeing war torn countries And stop the trafficking! ---------- Post added 08-08-2015 at 07:27 ---------- Distribute out amongst eu or send aid at least. Camps are full. ---------- Post added 08-08-2015 at 07:28 ---------- Thousands more dying at sea. ---------- Post added 08-08-2015 at 07:30 ---------- Around 124,000 migrants - most fleeing war in Syria and Afghanistan - have arrived on Greece's coastline since the beginning of the year, a 750% increase compared to the same period last year. http://news.sky.com/story/1532133/shameful-conditions-for-migrants-in-greece Its sick. We need to help these people. We are a rich country and have NO excuse for letting these people die in the sea or come to a country and have nothing not even a roof over their heads. Its shameful. Yet we are willing to spend billions on bombs bullets and guns. Great ---------- Post added 08-08-2015 at 16:07 ---------- Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.
