    Crime rate and lack of assimilation.
    Take in mind media presents crime rates more then what good those people did, so crime rates are a bit skewed.
    However, lack of assimilation, when you live in a free society and then you see someone who considers their women to be some sort of objects (just an example), you can't accept such a person. And as such you tolerate them and their kind less.

    However, in general those that do assimilate we have no problems with. The most of us at least, there's of course the old cranky people who consider every immigrant evil.

    Has it ever crossed your mind that these governments keep implementing the same failed policies over and over again yet expect different results?

If they somehow take all our jobs then immigration is the least of our problems.

    No, the biggest problem is education. Do you realize how many people in high school go barber, theatre and music classes? Then they end up draining on everybody's money because they can't do anything but cut hair. Now that's a strain on society.
    Yes, I agree. Education plays a big role in this mess. But we don't have enough low entry jobs for our growing population of over educated teenagers. As you said, many of them educate in full markets and then end up on AF. But then what? It's almost impossible to get a spot to re-educate yourself. These people will go unemployed for a long time before they are even considered to be given a spot. The only chance they have is to take the hard route. Get a job, get a haircut(From one of our many barbers) and get some very needed experience. But these kind of low entry jobs are vanishing. Mostly due to higher standards(thanks to education) but many of these jobs also go to work immigration, rehabilitation jobs etc.

    My alcoholic uncle just got a full paid job against his will! That's another great example of royal fuckup in this country. He gets a job he doesn't want while a kid somewhere that would love that job has to rely on welfare because AF and our stupid ass system think he's too young or don't have enough education/experience.

    Back in 2005,2006 I had a job contract with a company just outside of Finspång. It had 60~ employees whereas 30 were polish, 20 were contractors(like me) and 10 had rehabilitation/2nd chance spots(like my uncle). There was not a single employed kid at that company.
    I just think it's fucked up, that's all.

    Also, I'm not saying work immigrantion is taking all our jobs, but it sure as hell doesn't add to our society at the moment.

    Definitely, I agree with you wholeheartedly, but I don't think it has to do much with immigration more than getting kids into the work market, which is an entirely different topic.

    He got no beard, he's tiny though, like 1.65, the only word I've ever heard him say(and thats after being invited to them 2 times) and meeting him countless of times on the yard outside the house is "hej" BIG GRIN ;P
    The nerve is called the "nerve of awareness". You cant dissect it. Its a current that runs up the center of your spine. I dont know if any of you have sat down, crossed your legs, smoked DMT, and watch what happens... but what happens to me is this big thing goes RRRRRRRRRAAAAAWWW! up my spine and flashes in my brain... well apparently thats whats going to happen if I do this stuff...

    The problem being how few places there are for the artistic-minded in the job market compared to the number of people who want to pursue a career there.

    Because Europe is the middle of the world and we get illegal immigrants from , africa, middle east, asia, usually the vast majority of those immigrants end up being work force for mafia and other illegal organization, drug selling, prostitution, rape etc, all have skyrocket since this enourmous mass of immigrants have started coming here.

    I never discounted art, but when you have four art classes with 30 people in each of them, like the situation in my school, then don't you agree there needs to be some kind of limit to how many can get into one of those classes?

    And while I understand that there might be things that can be done better with an artistic mindset, students don't get to learn to use these in any practical way besides acting.

    Recession feeds racisms and such ideals. Specially since most EU countries have welfare, people have the idea that "immigrants either steal our jobs or stay here for welfare".

    Fear keeps people voting certain people. Fear causes people to ignore "actual flaws of the system". Fear keeps people attacking poor people instead of others

    No it's the same topic if the kids can't get entry level jobs because many of them are taken by immigrants that are paid less.

    I live in a small locality, I know like every single white guy here if they're teenagers and up. None of them would touch me. The immigrants, the very same ones that went to the school, I don't really dare going close to them. They're the reason I even feel unsafe at nights, not any white guys.

    Immigrants aren't the only ones that take jobs, we have older people that are prioritized because they are more experienced.

    Again, I'm sorry you feel it that way but you're making broad generalizations based on your own situation.

    I wouldn't say they dislike immigrants, I've certainly never encountered any hate. I'd say those that do do so based on their dislike of the actions of certain individuals which they then proceed to apply to the entire community because they're dumbasses.

    It's a few factors, but here in the UK the press still have a hold on the average Joe (particularly heinous hate papers like The Daily Mail) and tell them:
    - They took our jobs! (They weren't yours, there is always work for those that want to work!)
    - They took our benefits! (Everyone gets the same wherever you come from)
    - They want to change xyz (They're scared of you, as you are of them, they're just not as vocal)

    Personally, I couldn't give a monkeys banana, if you can work, work. If you can't then the state should help.

    EDIT: Should have said that goes for everyone and their aunt Fanny.

    I'm going for a lack of integration. It leads to the problem where communities start to feel separated and alien even within your own country. You can understand that immigrants would feel more comfortable around their own but it really doesn't help public perception.

    Also not sure if op is trolling.
