    Well, no. There would have to be an inherent psychological vulnerability, at the very least. But you're right, you don't have to be certifiably insane either to be indoctrinated.

    That's an excellent point! Sarcasm aside, do you dispute any of those things? I mean to say, if you take immigration out of the equation, do you dispute our reduced infrastructural ability, less jobs, more debt, unaffordable housing etc?

    Now add in immigration. Is immigration adding to the problems, or ameliorating the problems?

    Its simply pragmatism. Brutal and harsh, and admittedly sad, but still reality nonetheless.

    Hello 100% brand new poster welcome to boards, got settled into this thread quickly!

    If you are simply talking in economic terms then Europe as a whole needs immigration to balance out its aging population

    Do you just recycle the same few words when you haven't a cogent argument?

    All you did was stick a txdr (I assume you meant tldr) after his post. He then again tried to engage you by asking questions.

    to snowflaker (because I don't get the quoting system yet), I'd imagine your insinuation is that I'm some other member on here pretending to be someone else. I'm not. Like a lot of people, I imagine, I don't bother commenting on these things. But as I mentioned in my first post, its getting ridiculous and I was pissed off enough to just join in on the this conversation/debate/argument. Simple as that.

    Sorry. But that post just made me laugh . I have been depressed about this all day. It was just the way it was written. I am going now as I can't stop laughing. Not at you . But at the post.

    No it doesn't. If you use immigration to fix the pension crisis then you need even more immigration to fix the pebsion crisis causes by the immigrants aging.

    So you joined boards, tonight, to specifically join this discussion.

    I acknowledged you were a new poster btw. I just find it bizarre this is where you "jump in"

    I think you'll find I've argued both for and against different elements of the Muslim world and Islamic issues actually. Don't see what's been unclear in any of my posts either to be quite honest. Meanwhile, all you've done is snipe at people really and make half points. Rhetorical questions are another calling card of yours it would seem.

    or the birthrate of immigrants being higher would negate that need.

    to coco0891.....ive heard it all, but never bothered commenting. The idea of replacement people is a pyramid scheme. To use a simplified example....

    1 person is alive and works in a country. They retire having not had any children. You need to import 2 people to make up for the original guy when he retires, one to continue on the original job, and another to "look after" the retired person (contribute to pensions, what have you)

    Now comes the genius part....those 2 new people will retire eventually. And each of them will require two people each (that's 4 people, for the mathematically disinclined).......

    see where that leads to? Its a pyramid scheme that is based on infinite resources. In other words, a scam.

    Why do you need 2 to replace 1? Populations would double every generation if that was the case, and that doesn't happen, and IS NOT required.
