Re: 22-Nov-14 World View -- Britain's nationalistic UKIP gai

NoOneImportant ..... The magnet attracting illegal and legal immigrants to this country consists of “free stuff” provided by someone’s generation. Perhaps your generation is responsible. Perhaps you believe that the Haves should be forced to give to the Have Not’s. It doesn’t change anything and is ...

Re: 22-Nov-14 World View -- Britain's nationalistic UKIP gai

GUEST …. Is your concern primarily with money costs? You made at least four references to “pay” so I want to ask this question. If there were no welfare system, no free education, no government transfers of wealth on any level … housing subsidies, food subsidies, medical subsidies … nada ….. what wo...

MarvyGuy ..... "While I can appreciate Muslims preferring their own corruption I am having trouble finding a well run government in that region outside of isreal." I am having trouble finding a well run government anywhere inside or outside the region... including Israel. I suppose it is in the eye ...

NoOneImportant .......".....a sewage heap that Israel, and her Jews alone transformed into the jewel of the Middle East." It may be said that one man’s jewel is another man’s eyesore. Forcibly inserting an eastern European (Jewish) culture into a relatively passive local community of Palestinians do...

Re: 8-Oct-14 World View -- Kurds protest violently in Turkey

(I suppose - not being any type of expert on the region) It boggles the mind for sure. I'm not sure anyone is or can be an expert on the region. I have found this chart, incomplete as it is, very helpful. http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_world_/2014/07/17/the_middle_east_friendship_chart.html Probabl...

Re: 22-Sep-14 World View -- Israeli-Hamas peace talks to res

You are quite wrong about climate change not being the biggest threat." and "The methane hydrate is already melting." I note you have changed "global warming" to "climate change" and added a Methane Hydrate kicker. Yet.... from WORLD OCEAN REVIEW (IMO a must read for general audience inquiry) comes...

Re: 21-Jun-14 WV-Syria destabilizes refugees at WWII levels

All children are suckers at the bottom. Nature guarantees it. But children grow into adults. Ponzi schemes require ever increasing participants at the bottom of the pyramid. Baby Boomers are old. The generations following them are too small to fund Boomers' & Gen-Xer old age. An expanding populatio...

Here's that handle you're looking for. http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article44022.html How can a country grow with a declining workforce? It can't.
