  so i had a discussion with my mother about this, and she claims that because of this that: "we are surely living in the last days right now" while i must admit myself that the situation seem chaotic, i don't want to believe that it is the last days.

  so question is, how do i face an opinion like that?

  Only a handsome of them want asylum in Austria - this situation is insane. After reaching the safety of Europe, refugees/migrants should not get to choose where to live. Genuine refugees should stop in the nearest safe country and feel lucky that Europe has accepted them.
  These migrants are taking the piss.

  I think these migrants are looking to go to Germany because of Merkel's recent comments where she said they would take them in and let them work. Talking to a friend in Germany. He was basically saying Germany's aging population needs to be replaced by about 400,000 a year. So you can understand Merkel saying we will take them in and let them work. It makes sense for Germany. You can then understand when they hear that, why the refugee's are so keen to get to Germany.

  So maybe they aren't taking the piss.

  I used to think he was based on Axel Rose. Revelation book (I think it was from that book) came out when GnR were huge.

  Have you read the article?

  I did actually and do you know what i took from it?

  Not

  Ungrateful b*****ds ...

  Here's what i read:

  Conditions for refugees on the islands have been criticised in the past, including by the United Nations' refugee agency. On Friday, Amnesty International said it had witnessed a violent attack on the refugees in Kos, by 15-25 people wielding bats and shouting abuse.

  'It is a very difficult trip,' said Mohad, a 27-year-old refugee from Damascus. 'We were very hungry and thirsty on the Farmakonisi island. Actually we are suffering from a lot of things. But we hope to arrive to specific area like Germany or Sweden or any country protect us, OK?'

  
  But you go with the sensationalist headline that doesn't really reflect that these camps and the conditions these people are in will lead to tinderbox riots. I think you quoted comment above says all i need to know about you yet you tell me to grow up?!

  Do one!

  If you get your unbiased news reporting from the Dailfail that's half your problem LUHE.

  As xenophobic a newspaper as you'll find anywhere.

  So quotas should be applied by the UN to every safe country on earth, from New Zealand to Malaysia to Uganda to Brazil to Fiji.
  That way, the refugees will find safety.
  Without any one country buckling under the tide.
  What do you think?

  Sounds like a good plan to me. However till it is agreed and able to be implemented the day to day reality is that it's a problem now that the Europeans have to deal with till a better system can be agreed.

  UNHCR

  "The 1951 Refugee Convention spells out that a refugee is someone who "owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality, and is unable to, or owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country."

  
  

  I think you will find that those fleeing Syria and Eritrea are refugee's. Many of them having to leave because they are Christians for instance.

  Migrants, especially economic migrants, choose to move in order to improve the future prospects of themselves and their families. Refugees have to move if they are to save their lives or preserve their freedom. They have no protection from their own state - indeed it is often their own government that is threatening to persecute them. If other countries do not let them in, and do not help them once they are in, then they may be condemning them to death - or to an intolerable life in the shadows, without sustenance and without rights.

  and that my friend is what some European countries have been and are doing. Shame on them and shame on those of you who try to justify it with your comments which frankly to me come across as being racist.

  Same has happened here in Ireland today OrphanCrow having followed this Icelandic initiative.

  Many like ourselves have pledged a room in a our house, provided in my case that our landlord doesn't object (he's pretty cool so I'd suspect he'd offer one of his own rooms too).

  Problem is our government to date insists on all asylum seekers going into centres that are cramped and horrible where they will wait for 6/7/8 years to get processed, in the meantime unable to legally work. I'm hoping one of the things this crisis will do is quicken the asylum seeking process. Though we are talking about Irish governments. *sigh*

  Funnily enough though kaik two of the three countries that Merkel recently criticised for not taking their fair share of refugee's in this crisis, Ireland and the UK, both announced today they will be taking more.

  So it would seem there is a need. Look people don't risk there lives travelling seas in overcrowded leaking boats unless they are desperate. They just don't so stop saying this is about immigration when it is clearly about refugee's

  Not sure if this has been posted here already but watch/read it and tell me this isn't about refugee's desperate to escape. : Desperate crossing
