I’m pouring my derision upon this entire thread and exposing its weaknesses no matter how carefully hidden by the OP.
Hey! You got your Lovecraft in my Waters!
And you got your peanut butter in my chocolate!
Join date April 2011. Who’d’ve thunk it?
And in typical “recently joined then post something stupid” fashion, fails to return to thread.
Eh, he came back a couple times. Granted he seems to have given up now.
Must have something to do with the school uniforms.
The hive mind assimilated him.
Give it up. The child is grown, the dream is gone.
Yeah, I was expecting Skynet to be a lot more impressive.
That’s interesting, but given the nature of this thread I’ll just give a brief response.
Firstly, I absolutely agree that much of Europe’s labour laws are out-of-date and hold back economies as well as integration of new populations.
No-one is saying Europe’s perfect and changing labour laws would be one of the top things on my list, along with the CAP.
But the specific example you’ve cited of one country and one population group probably represents one extreme of a complicated picture.
For example, here in britain, asian men are disproportionately unemployed…but they’re also disproportionately represented among the high-earners, and are a net benefit to our economy.
And there are some interesting stats, like that black women earn on average more than white women, according to government stats.
All I’m saying is “immigrants don’t do well in europe” would not be a fair summary.
Are you saying daddy flew across the ocean? Leaving just a memory?
Perhaps he’s on the dark side of the moon.
Not fair…I too am just a new boy. Stranger in this town. Where are all the good times? Who’s gonna show this stranger around?
Surely Daddy left behind something else for him.
Apparently European schools don’t have plumbing either.
Maybe he thought we would not understand this is not how he is.
Yeah. Its more likely just a passing phase, maybe one of his bad days.
Don’t close it, it’s too funny to close. Move it to MPSIMS, instead, please.
With all these Pink Floyd quotes it might end up in Cafe Society instead. But I’m not going to hurry to close it or anything.
