    Isn't it frowned upon here to just post news paper articles without adding your opinion as this isn't a news forum? There's nothing wrong with framing a piece of information around your perspective.


    If you're upset at what the poll shows please call Amnesty.

    That sounds awfully familiar to the Conservative Republican starter pack in America, only blacks (or brown people) and not Jews.


    Anyway, it sounds like China, but they can also enforce it. Just because they are accepting of refugees doesn't mean these refugees are going to live a life better than in the country they are fleeing. Infact, they might soon find out that living in China might actually be worse than living in Syria during a civil war.

    But don't let the Peoples Republic of China find out. They have to protect their people by censoring this thread.
    There are no worse scum in this world than fascists, rebels and political hypocrites.
    Donald Trump is only like Hitler because of the fact he's losing this war on all fronts.
    Apparently condemning a fascist ideology is the same as being fascist. And who the fuck are you to say I can't be fascist against fascist ideologies?
    If merit was the only dividing factor in the human race, then everyone on Earth would be pretty damn equal.

    or maybe I report it as a clickbait thread and let the moderators decide?

    You did not make this thread to showcase a crisis situation, you made it to piss on the USA.

    We (UK) should take in more refugees, especially since Germany is taking in over 1 million refugees. We need to show the world that we are willing to step up to the plate. And hard times call for hard measures, a lot of people are willing to help but they are powerless to do so because of the government.

    I've been to a refugee camp a while ago and the people were not visicious, aggressive or sexual predators - don't believe what the right wing media is saying about how savage the refugees are. Most are sweet, and normal people just like you and me.

    A big reason why many people say they are willing to house at least 1 refugee in their home is because they would expect the same if they were in the refugees shoes. It's all about compassionate.

    My part in this story has been decided. And I will play it well.

    It's an interesting about face for them though, the standard response you get from China during most international crises is that they're too poor to deal with the problem and that it's up to the West to shoulder all the responsibility. If they were to start taking the lead on more global issues while we recede deeper into the bubble of self-interest, then that's going to have plenty of unforeseen consequences.

    Please show me where I have 'pissed on the USA'. I have not mentioned America anywhere else apart from the thread title (and this post) and the reason for that is to give a range, a spectrum i.e. I picked the country at the top and a random one at the bottom which happened to be America.

    If you don't think this thread is good enough you can always leave.


    Stop being childish.

    You've deliberately changed the article's headline, and turned the focus on the USA, and left out the source link to hide it.
    If you'd been honest about it, you would have picked a country that's definitely severely lacking on the issue.

    And nope, I won't leave at all. Someone's gotta call you out for your bullshit lol

    Why don't you start by inviting a few into your home.

    Wait, we live in a world where people think defending yourself is somehow immoral, but yet people are willing to let random strangers, from a whole different part of the world into their homes?

    Why should I remember? It was their choice and least you forget, they are a communist nation which has very little respect for human rights. They would naturally welcome any they can keep communists or/and convert to their ideology.

    Is China not at the top of the poll? Is America not lagging behind? What part of the thread title is made up? And you say I've 'deliberately changed the article's headline' like it's a crime, like it's something that is set in stone and should not be reframed. I'm done explaining myself, if you feel guilty about something I'm not the person you should be taking it out on. I've been polite with you. This thread is not about me so please be constructive.

    No, we shouldnt. we have an outright housing shortage and cannot even house our own. House prices are getting so high that people can barely afford to rent. Meanwhile, you want to flood the country with even more people who generally have no benefit to the economy as they cannot work and or speak the language.

    lets also ignore the strain on our already bloated public services and health care systems.

    People with your attitudes and ideologies (although noble) are dangerous to any sort of fiscal viability or general cohesion in the country. We seem to ignore half blown up military vets who are living on the street, but as long as we give mr refugee priority on a house thats all fine.

    Yeah China the human and animal rights paradise, the country every person in the world wants to live, the country known for its high standard of living and their ecological views. What a joke of a thread.

    There is one first world country that is behind America on the graph - France - and they suffered a significant terrorist attack in the last few months.

    Not a chance in hell I'd welcome a refugee into my home, regardless of their religion inviting a complete stranger into your home is asking for trouble.

    UK on third place? Maybe some people should remember that there are currently less than... what? 5.000? 10.000? Asylum seekers in the UK, while in germany there are milions already.

    That says everything we need to know about this BS chart.

    Aaand this. As an Australian, I am completely embarrassed by the degree and frequency with which our government infringes on people's right to seek asylum, and both major parties hold essentially the same position on the issue, and are taking it to the next election.
