don't read the daily mail
The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

BTW I like how that was the most objectionable thing you found about what I posted.

Well it's important you get revenge. Cause someone who worked at a refugee centre would want people to beat up refugees after their death. :rolleyes:

It's not objectionable, it's just advice: Don't read the daily mail. Seriously.

Re: New Year in Cologne, Germany
Noted economics expert 666maslo666 is fine with low quality foreigners as long as they come legally, state keeps track of them, they earn at least minimum wage, pay taxes and only stay temporarily as guest workers.

And who the **** is going to pay for that?

Canada actually has a temporary foreign worker program fairly similar to that.  It used to be somewhat OK, got heavily screwed up in recent years, was tweaked to "fix" it, and is still somewhat broken.  Turns out that workers who are imported to perform low-quality labour into a country they have no real relationship to, often with poor grasp of the local language, have a great deal of difficulty exerting their legal and labour rights and often got screwed over by their employers.  Employers, meanwhile, imported workers because they didn't want to abide by the laws of supply and demand and raise wages when there were worker shortages.  Canada's temporary foreign worker program is actually a pretty good example of "what not to do."

Contrast with the "foreign nanny" program, which is fairly successful for everyone and has given us quite a few new Canadian's to boot, despite the fact that it appears somewhat exploitative.

This more or less is the problem the Dutch had in the 60s, which had a few rippling effects. It may happen again with the current trend of eastern european foreign worker (called "Guest workers" here), unfortunately.
