Why are people so cruel? Refugees

[paulpablo]

For the most part, it's better as those countries are more compatible with their way of life as Paulpablo mentioned earlier in the thread.

But let me ask you this, why isn't your country doing much about it? We're a tiny Island nation and have taken 15,000 so far. The US has only taken roughly 4,000.

Being a person that is only the second of my generation into this country, I'm all for taking in those who need help. But it's a really sad day when one's own country won't even help its homeless population or its military vets. Does anyone really think we're going to extend our hand out to refugees in the same capacity as other countries have?

On another note: Let me ask this - has Japan or China or South Korea taken in any of these refugees? Australia? New Zealand? If the answer is no or they have taken in roughly the same numbers as the US, why isn't anyone saying anything about those countries?

The thing I'd say about those countries is they're very wise.
And I don't see intergration happening when you have Syrians with a literacy rate of 86% and an average iq of 83. Considering the people of South Korea, China and Japan are basically the smartest, most hard working well educated people in the world.
