Yeah, because your anecdotal evidence obviously obliterates any scientific study on the matter. :roll:MetalGear_Ninty

It's not a very reliable study though. Apparently it was carried out in only 4 countries and the "attractiveness" of the person was rated only by the interviewer which is, by far, not representative enough.

I hope the OP realizes that there are many other political ideologies apart from liberalism and conservatism; since I do not consider myself either, I cannot answer the question.

Still, I guess on some topics I may sympathise with liberals. They acknowledge the problem (and may try to reduce it) but unfortunately they do not fix it. Neoliberalism is poo though, and conservatism is backward.

I'll have to look into it. Aside from the Stallone film and a crossover comic I seen with Batman once, I'm not too familiar with him.Hallenbeck77

Try looking for one of those Judge Dredd Complete Case Files (as far as I remember about 20 has been already released, most around 300 pages or so). They collect the progs in the order they were released, very useful for newcomers.

I found out about this a few months ago but in the meantime I nearly forgot it's coming out. I hope it's at least decent though.

And for those who read the comics, (I never did), are they any good?Hallenbeck77

Well, it's a long running strip so it depends, some progs are great some not so much.

I like it and if you're a fan of sci-fi comics I'd recommend it because it's a classic.

Rape is okay if the girls wears a miniskirt...horgen123

If anything that's an isolated case, it's highly illogical to use this to represent all immigrants.

The few immigrants who abuses our systems overshadows all those who work hard... horgen123

Well, the same argument could be applied to the local citizens, couldn't it?

Not a very convincing source, some of the surveys they quote are not even specified and the word "integration" itself is quite ambiguous. It seems to talk mainly about Turks, not immigrants in general; plus the article ends on a positive note and excerpts such as ""For 30, 40 years the Turks weren't offered enough" in terms of education" suggest it's not necessarily their fault.

You'll need something more to prove your point.

This article is in the opinion section and there are no statistics provided to prove the author's claims.

Worldwide estimated deaths in 2011, caused by:

  • smoking cigarettes: 2,800,000
  • alcohol: 1,400,000
  • marijuana: 0 (or at least I couldn't find any during my short research)

They don't pay tax or other things, they work illigally ( mostly, not saying everyone of them do it). Anyway, lets just hope we don't get any more dead peopleThe_Last_Ride

Can you provide any sources on how many actually do this? Also, how many locals, for example, don't pay tax in comparison?

Respect our laws... Also remember that "to many" is subjective. I know most of them do learn the language, but not all. Perhaps my experience with people who don't learn our language isn't representative for the rest of the country. Lots of Polacs here and imo to many of them only speak English(if even that)... horgen123

What do you mean by "respect our laws"? What laws do they "disrespect"?

[QUOTE="Wasdie"]I also think the wave of Islamic immigration in Europe has been a bit abrupt and almost forceful in some areas. From what I've read, newly immigrated Muslims don't always integrate well into society in Europe. We haven't had that kind of problem here in the US. Usually when they immigrate here for whatever reason they are quick to adapt to life and culture while persevering their values. Not always the same in Europe.horgen123

To many refuse to adapt or even learn the language.

Do you actually have any proof of that? I live in Europe and in my experience the majority of immigrants (including me and those I know) can communicate in the language of the country they currently live in.

Also, what do you mean by "adapt"?
