Like what?

I heard that in the bible their are other gods.

Back in the day when you were in Norway you worship the Norse gods. If that guy got on a boat and went to Greece he would worship the gods there, not the ones from home.

“You shall have no other gods before me”

What does that mean? Gods don’t exist or they do but Yahweh is the most important? The second seems more likely to me.

A lot of people that want to travel can’t handle the hard stuff. It seems more about how you deal with that than how you deal with the good stuff.

Same with careers. Lot of people chase the good stuff then realise all the bad shit makes it terrible. I also noticed a few women who really want to be high in their career to stick it to the man. They either really sexist people or they find out that no one actually cares and that all the guys that have made it to the top worked really hard and put a lot of hours in. Suddenly they realise that what they will have to do too and they completely lose interest.

Being a house wife has a lot of perks and limited downsides, if you don’t mind the downsides it’s really really appealing.

Lack of cultural integration, homophobia, sexism, racism, religion, lack of local training and development, lack of capital investment, high housing costs, poor housing quality, wage suppression, increasing density of the country, crime, making places less desirable and more crime ridden.

But no one ever wants to talk about anything that isn’t short term averages.

I haven’t got an issue with immigration as a concept or necessarily as an average.

But there is a reason no one complains about first, second, third generation Australians coming to their country not learning the language, not integrating, committing crimes and no treating women right. A lot of people on the left live in outright denial about immigration.

Sure keep the upper class happy by keeping wages down and house prices high. Only costs you money, safety and community.

Immigration is lost in the short term averages at the least. It needs breaking down and calculating out over lifetimes.

But that still doesn’t excuse anybody flushing the rule of law down the toilet.

Did i say it did?

People obviously care note about immigration than that. That’s how high of a priority it is I guess.

I guess this just goes to show what everyone is saying.

The left is shooting themselves in the foot. People care about immigration and the left won’t solve it. So they lose power, that’s democracy in action.

If the left want wants they need to listen to the concerns of the people.

I’d send them a picture of my arsehole.

Cunts.

There was a TV show. Stephen Fry 100 greatest gadgets.

For 1 he told a story about how some guy was talking to a largely uncontacted tribe and they were really interested in their tech.

So he knew they would have a supply drop and took them out to see the plane for the first time ever. The tribe was remarkable unimpressed with the sight.

The guy asked what was up and they came back with the reply “You can make fire from your fingertips. Of course you can fly”

He named the lighter the number 1 gadget.

For the data I asked for or for the misleading data I mentioned?

You don’t seem to understand my point even remotely. So the conversation is done.

I’m not going through your data dump. You just gisp galloping

Asylum is abused. We are talking economic immigrants here.

We need a data driven decision. Not listening to you who “know” things based on feels.

It’s white nativism, which is a form of racism, whether you are aware or not

See you full of shit because I’m not. The issues with people from Hong Kong, or Japan or the pacific or actual asylum countries crossing their nearest board to get away rather than get to like Ukraine is fine. Even places like Nigeria show much better stats than others. Though total numbers are also important (with the exception of actual issues like Ukraine)

I would love data driven info. That’s what the people want. But also things like culture are exceptionally important to people more so than even money and people should get a vote on it rather being told to accept people that hate homosexuals or treat women like second class citizens just so the ruling class can make more money from houses and cheap wages. You come to a country the least you can do is act like a member of that country.

I hope the left pull their head out of their arse and sort this shit out before some with more balls does.

Wow being against uncontrolled immigration is so Nazi.

Literally no other person could think immigration should go down for any reason or any amount without being a Nazi.

I’m really glad you showed me a photo of someone concerned with immigration when it’s the number one issue in the country. Really proved that, that guy is a Nazi.

I do think he’s a dickhead. But Nazis and reform are different.

You just dropped a load of shit without explaining it.

But glancing at it it looks EXACTLY like the point I was making.

Generals and averages I agree immigration can be made to look good. When you go into the details things change. Where does it look at country of origin? Where does it show contributions over life rather than just prime age? Where do you see intergenerational affects? Where does it talk about training instead of filling gaps with foreigners ? Where does it talk about all these effects of different earning percentiles of the population?

When every people go into that level of details things look different.

Plus it doesn’t all come down to money

The average person wants lower immigration plain and simple.

That’s what reform is largely winning votes on. Something that historically has been a left view.

They are no where near as bad as everyone makes out. People are trying to paint them as Nazis.

How many new houses are built by immigrants and how many immigrants are there?

They could built all the houses but absolute numbers matter not percentages.

Its about not voting for the tories. More than it is anything else.

Now there are more right options that will swing back. Hence how it is out of date.

14% of the vote from a brand new party, with signs that’s increasing. It not insignificant

Do you know something about the UK I don’t?

Please tell me about how the Tories link into this graph?

This is out of date.

People are losing faith rapidly in the left because they don’t seem to be for the everyday working class Briton like they used to be.

There is a big shift going to Reform now largely because they want to reduce immigration. The left deny the situation and the right have claimed they will reduce it every year then increase.

People are flooding to the “far right”* because they don’t seen the main parties address the main issue they want addressing and have been talking about for decades at this point, generations even.

_* not actually far right. But the left love throwing that term around to anyone that has a different opinion to them. They just want lower immigration, which historically has been a left leaning ideology

So how many people want to live in Manhattan? Bringing in more people will solve the housing issue?

More job programs are the answer to that, not restricting immigration.

Well we can agree on half of that.

Immigrants across the board improve the economy and put more into welfare than they take out. So no, they are not a drain on the economy in any respect.

This is the crux of it. This is the big lie here that is never backed up.

Break down immigration by country of origin, education, even income. Look at the results on lower classes and up classes, look at the affect on housing and jobs. It will not be an improvement across the board for all those things.

But I would love, love, love to see that data. But whenever it is shown it never shows what you claim it does.

Because it isn’t crime either. Immigrants are responsible for less crime per capita than US citizens.

For every group?

Overall I 100% agree with you. That’s what I would expect.
