Well I don't believe we ever promised to "deliver" them democracy and liberties but rather we provided the opportunity for them to give those things to themselves.

I'm opening a prayer mat store next week! translated versions of the Koran are free with purchase!

travel mat with compass( so you face toward Mecca) A$$alaam Alaikum BBY Bilgerat prices:https://www.simplyislam.com/products/essentials/Prayer-Mat Officer prices: http://www.alhannah.com/islamic_merchandise/prayerrugs.html And so you don't forget... five times a day: http://www.islamicfinder.org/prayerDetail.php?city=Los%20Angeles&state=CA&count ry=usa&lang=english And for those converted footballers with bad knees...somebody beat me to the punch: http://www.google.com/patents/US7246391 for prayer in comfort! "A Turkish man living in Germany has invented a Muslim prayer mat that takes the strain off the knees which, he hoped to now sell worldwide. But he said he had already sold his rugs, which come in standard (39.50 euros, $52), luxury and child categories, as far afield as Singapore and the United States. Pirisan has not ruled out aiming his product at other religions, telling the daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that he might look into it but not for purely business motives. But because I would wish to make praying easier for everyone, be they Muslim, Protestant or Catholic,” the paper quoted him as saying." Nuthin' like turnin' a shekel in the service o' the Deity...whatever yer persuasion.

The game was awarded the Austrian State Prize for Multimedia and e-Business in the Knowledge and Learning category. The jury praised the game for building understanding, empathy and concern for the plight of refugees in the player, says wiki.

Nice, thanks for the link

Exactly. We tried. There needs to be a George Washington on the other end to lead their people.

And people still wonder why American's are thought as ignorant pricks...

Oh boy

What is Finland's policy on refugees actually?

We take everyone who seeks for asylum. Everyone. EU law says so. We got no choice.

My response was towards August, who, again, tries to circumvent the issue.

Except, unlike you, little children of the old world, our dear colonial spawn, we have learned first hand what war is. You apparently didn't.
So ''it takes one to know one'' you know African warlords, not European nations. Which would explain why everytime you start talking about Europe you're more wrong than me talking about Martian geology.

This was RE: Nipplespanner's question: What is Finland's policy on refugees actually?

We really take what we can, we are just 5 million people after all. We got our own problems, yet the refugees seemingly take the priority.

As for her 70k children, well, that's awhole different thing. We are thankful for it.

But, it's whole different thing. almost 80% of our refugees this year were young males. This can be seen from official statistic.

Mrs/Ms. Wallström, what were our young men doing during the WWII?

(Hint: It starts with: Defending our bloody independence, you silly idiot!"

...for us europeans like me who likes our old and nowodays alliances heritage of the past, between our very good old alliance France, United Kindom and United States of America (I like, for example, the comemoration of the 6 june 1944 D day, and the spirit that's in it).

We belong, over the Atlantic or the Chanel, to a same civilization and we citizen of this aera are allied. That's a fact
After, if in the backstage, there is some challenges between our different
governments, but that is the usual stuff. No problem.

"Refugees Leave Budapest Train Station, Vowing To Walk To Germany"

The refugees, some of whom had walked for hours in the direction of Austria after leaving a Budapest rail station, were provided buses by the government of Hungary late Friday after authorities in Austria and Germany agreed to accept them, the Associated Press reports. Some of the migrants already had walked 30 miles, about a third of the way to the border, by the time of the agreement, the AP reports.

Poor soles.

Well, just like August, it happens that I am an American too. It doesn't matter to me if you disagree with his comment, or think his opinion is in error, but could you find a better way to express your opinion than using vulgarities. And as my friend Oberon likes to point out: you've got to be careful not to generalise.

I'm surprised I actually beat him to mentioning that. ,
