The inequality of the world becomes rather apparent when you see dead kids wrapped around their dead dad. We can and probably won’t do anything, but it makes me uneasy.

Just be happy you were born on the right side of that inequality, and make sure you don't lose your advantage.

No, you're concluding they're not refugees... That doesn't make it so. Corrupt political systems, poverty etc are legitimate reasons to seek asylum. Should Syrians in Ireland have stayed even though it was putting their lives at risk to remain there? We have the right to seek asylum for good reasons.

The war is over in Syria. They're begging their Men to come back and help rebuild.

So how many of them are you housing and providing for? You're sure doing alot of virtue signalling, but are you actually practicing what you preach.

Im not sure you actually fully understood the situation in syria.

Perhaps you dont even know the situation in Libya.

All these cheer leaded on by western governments.

War not being actively engaged doesnt just switch everything back.

Am I right in thinking the term libtard is an amalgamation of liberal and retard, a really disgusting term to describe someone with intellectual difficulties

Very offensive of you to suggest that all liberals are intellectually challenged. Many of the brighter ones aren't.

Even if the kid had not drowned she had a concentration camp to look forward to. The details coming out from the groups who have visited the imprisoned children are just awful. The US is committing massive human rights abuses on their border.

In the aftermath of the tragedy, some questioned the father’s decision to risk the lives of his family,
pointing out that Turkey, where he’d lived for three years, was at least a safe haven.

I pay plenty of tax, I'm pretty happy for Syrians in Ireland to be housed. I also donate plenty to charities that support them.

Some Syrians are returning but it's still far from stabilised and I can totally understand those who don't return.

Anyway, you seem to be being reduced to personal jabs at me at every turn. Should really try to grow out of that.

Not a great reflection of one as a person if they think a derogatory term about mentally challenged people is a fun way of insulting a person. It's genuinely childish and Christ on a bike, it's horrifying that you're enjoying the use of it in a thread about a dead 23 month old.

Makes a thinking person wonder how appalling the abuses must be on the other side of that border.

But hey! let's not condemn the corrupt third world regimes, let's all blame the Yanks.

Could have filed an application for a visa, the option is there for him.

If it was declined he would have to take it on the chin and apply again or elsewhere.

I'm not offended at all. I just find the fact that if someone is willing to use the word retard or a derivative, it gives information about that individual.
Use whatever words you like I don't mind, it is actually informative.

He was applying for asylum. He and his family would have entered a camp indefinitely. A camp where conditions are terrible. People are literally dying on a regular basis at the moment, they're currently being likened to concentration camps for a good reason.

Pure drivel coming out of you at this stage. I haven't been offended once and some posters are offended that I wasnt offended :pac:

I'm quite enjoying the discussion, its passing a few hours.

I would definitely like to see the Venn diagram of people who are giving this lad advice on how to properly immigrate and those who are parents.

I was trying to make the point that people intervened to stop suffering and atrocities in the past. I’m not pro open borders or anything but we all know this is going to get worse and worse in US and Europe. What are we going to do, machine gun them all down as they try to enter? It’s gping to be a total sh*tshow, especially in Europe.

What is your suggestion, open the door, let the all in, encouraging more to follow.

I have a lock on my front door, if people want to come in they knock, I assess their threat to me then I either let them in or tell them to fack off

Oh but you are the embodiment of offence. Sure thats why you lads spend so long in threads like this each thread a carbon copy of the last.

Its a joy to see.

The "good reason" being because it plays on the emotions.

I hate to break it to you, but people are literally dying on a regular basis outside those camps too. In fact my Great Aunt Agatha keeled over only last week at the tender age of 87. Her funeral is tomorrow if you want to send a mass card.

Then suddenly there was a foreign GP in my local. All of a sudden i seen one in the school. Next people stopped going to mass on sundays

Someone must be to blame, but who, i need to blame someone.....

Saying we have no part in this is just as silly as if I was saying ‘well Ireland was (technically) part of the Empire when the brunt of colonialism happened’
