Refugees

[Sappho]

We were always thought to treat other people like we like they treat us.
As a refugee, you would like to get help and a safe place to live. 
What still makes you refuse to take in all the refugees?
You could say: then our economy is going to drown. But what is worth more: a life or a bunch of money?
You could say: there is no space. You liar.

I don`t know if this is the right thread to post. I know it might be a dead thread, maybe not. I just wanted to write it off my chest.

So, I`m from Hungary (not living there anymore) and as you all know we had/have this problem with immigrants/refugees from the Middle-East.
Many of them are really just economic immigrants and they want a more comfortable life. But i still can`t believe how people would treat them in Hungary.
On facebook people are hating on them like crazy. Absolutely badshit crazy.
Middle aged mothers (while smiling on the profile photo with their little grand-children) are commenting things like, "we should just kill them all" or "why not just shoot them".
I know these are only facebook comments, and they would be scared to do anything like this in real life (fortunately), but still it really annoys me.
These kind of behaviour is why i left Hungary to live in Portugal (people are quite nice here).

I`m from the North-west of Hungary, so we have quite a lot of immigrants/refugees going through here to Austria.

I know there are many view-points to this thing. Like, why refugees not just stop in the first country where`s no war and why are they want to go to Germany?
Or the hypocrisy: A lot of the people writing this kind if shit are the ones who are working in Austria for more money, so they are too economic immigrants.


I don`t know what would be the right solution for this crisis over there, but whatever it is, they are still humans!! As the OP said: "But what is worth more: a life or a bunch of money?"

It just really bothers me, that people are like this there. Sorry.

It was an abandoned thread from last year, and it is discouraged by the rules to resurrect them (also, you should have gotten a big warning message to that effect). You should be able to start your own thread if you want to discuss something.

^^ you were right when you said this wasn't the place to post it, Adam. Necros are not cool, though I appreciate you've put a lot of thought into your post.

Please consider starting a new thread in the future ^_^
