    Why are they oppressed in their home countries? Because their governments have made it ok. The general population in any country are dumb as shit - I'm dumb as shit, you're dumb as shit, semaphore is dumb as shit, Jackmoves is dumb as shit - and some people are dumber than others. And when you're dumb then you're easily manipulated by the higher power because they somehow rule the country, so they have to be smarter. I'm positively sure that there are immigrants that believe whatever their past governments said about how weak women are, but you make it seem like every ME immigrant is as weak-minded as to believe that women are horrible creatures. That would be like saying every Sweden loves the idea of the word "hen". We don't, we're just not as outspoken about it as the dumbshit leftists that somehow believe that'll solve all gender equality problems.

    How is that better than not having a voice at all ? At least they'd be able to coalesce with whatever other countries have the same opinions they do.

    And you don't believe they bring it with them? I'd call you naive if you truly believe everyone will just drop their views.

    He didn't pull that card, he just said that formations are not adapted to the job market.. which is a fact supported by many a business manager.

By encapsulating themselfes and trying to avoid the local laws, the immigrants practice sharia laws, honor murders etc etc. As far as I see it, Immigrants should try to adapt to the new environment, not the other way round, if they don't like it they are free to go wherever they've came from
    Them sticking together has as much to blame on poor assimilation policies by the government as it is on the immigrants themselves. Those governments actively encourage division in the name of tolerance toward other cultures. They just can't fucking get it through their heads that creating muslim only areas (or something else) is only going to make it worse. The immigrants haven't purposefully created most of these areas, it's the government. If you want to see it done "right" then take a look at Finland, the problem of bad assimilation is largely non-existant here.

    I'm from the UK and I don't dislike immigrants. We have a lot of people in my area that came here seeking asylum with their small children away from all the war and barbaric stuff going on in the middle east. If I were those people and another country welcomed me to get away from that and keep my family safe, why wouldn't I go?

    We can't really blame them, we can only blame the gatekeepers, the government. There has to be a limit to the amount of people we can take in, as the jobs are now very hard to come by, the cost of everything is going up, anything that is run by the NHS is completely swarmed and over crowded.

    Same goes for Europe.
    We generally accept immigrants. The thing is that they (minority but in some regions majority) seem not to be accepting us. They view us as a big money cow and prefer to suck from us as much as possible. Also we are to respect their culture, but our own history and culture is being totally ignored. They group up and live together, totally isolated from the rest of society.

    It is just annoying that you let somebody live in your country and they totally disobey you. But just as I said, it concerns the minority and the few doings that happened has nothing to do with general mood.

    A lot of our immigrants from the ME are christians, burka etc is not something those guys generally practise(thats the somalis) I got an Irani family in the appartment complex(only immigrant family I think) and they as many others from Iraq and Iran are christians, they don't force the women in the family to cover up, the oldest daughter in the family is actually merried to a (white)swede, learned to know that when me and the gf got invited to celebrate the youngest son's gymnasium graduation. Couldn't ask for better neighbours tbh, the old man speaks horrible swedish though, he's old(must be in his 70s), but he does all the laundrey for example, typical "women's work" yeah? ;P

    You should really start treating these people as individuals.

    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...

    I think art is important to culture and general enjoyment of our lifes, so it's not that I want to ban the classes entirely, but we can't just have it as something everyone with a D+ in every subject can join.

    I'm not sure where I said that. There are plenty of other high school courses that are great as well - entrepreneurship, for example. I can agree that barbers aren't THAT bad, after all, barbers have a pretty open market and have it very easy to start own businesses. But definitely art classes, the pupils that get out of those classes usually haven't learned much practical, and the only important things they've learned are the obligatory basics of any high school course.

    The markets will only get worse, everywhere, jobs will get fewer and fewer as technology increases and population does. Our entire socio-economical system will collapse.

    Fixed. You are trying to quantify something that can't be quantified.

    I just said that I have no doubt that some immigrants bring those views with them, but you make it seem like every immigrant is the same and have the same views just because they come from another part of the world.

    So if I run into an immigrant in the night I should just be all welcoming and pray he's not one of those who brought that view on women with him? Hell no. I'm not taking any chances, I don't want my life to be destroyed just because of some immigrant.

    Have you missed the expansion of the tertiary sector ?

    Here's an interesting article that might also give you an idea on why europeans are not fond of immigrants. Read the top comments on it.

    I'm talking about what they learn in their courses which are easily accesible on the web, as for what they learn at home or elsewhere is not what I'm talking about.

    I treat strangers in the night like any other stranger - I avoid them because I don't want to take the chance, even if he's a white dude.

    The poll is "why the Europeans don't like them" not "how to solve the problem" I don't have any information what's the situation in Finland but as an Eastern European myself, that studied in Western Europe I can say these people don't want to integrate at all and whatever the government does they avoid it over and over aggain check France and the "Burqa law", and its just a matter of time untill those "only muslim" areas you said turn into autonomous provinces with their own laws.

    And since you're from the US, I'm sure your art classes are different from Sweden's. Sweden's art classes are pisspoor that learn nothing.
