Connecting with brothers in China

David is spot on regarding my means and thoughts. Multiculturalism is now being condemned widespread in Europe by Sarkozy, Merkel, etc. We are now reaping the harvest of mass integration of primarily Arabs and Muslims into our nations where the integration has failed completely. Today there are 73 million Arabs in Europe and it keeps growing. Like David says, this is not a a race question/problem but a cultural one. There are far too many cauldrons boiling in the world today, the middle east region, the DPRK and ROKK situation , and now big parts of Europe etc andwe have far to many global problems of "impending doom" ticking. It will spill over of course, it is only a question of when, and where it spills over first. Because i am sure it doesnt matter if the situation escalates first in DPRK or in Iran, when it turns to war the rest will follow and the world as we know it will turn into a rather different place then what we are used to.
It has been my firm belief since i was around 20 already. That if i am not to die unexpectedly being hit by a train or some other unforeseeable incident but by natural means / cause of age. I will live to experience a new global war, and for sure the global use of WMD's. Its not a pretty thought but the current situation in the world will soon have no other options. I dont want to live forever, but i do want to live when im alive and healthy. Theres little we can do to stop the progress of whats happening around us now. So i say to myself and to my friends and family, make the best of the life you have here on earth while you can.

Mikael, there are many more issues including the one you mention which is most complex one in of itself. There are many other things to consider also. For example they are in a political struggle within themselves too. If our governments would leave them alone they might implode from within. All we can do at this stage of the game is wait and see and hope.
You say that we should live life to its fullest. We should be doing that regardless of what is happening on a national front. I am certain that you would agree with this that the only real sanity we have right now is the women that we have chosen to fall in love with. ;) I know it is that way with me.

For sure Shaun :)

Just to add a little more to your "aged care" words........
It is very logical to think that folk require more practical and medical as they age, this has been the case since we came down from the trees !!
The mark of a civilisation is how compassionately it treats its aged, even stone age people cared for aged folk, and their job was much tougher !
What has been lost in the statistic you mentioned is the fact that it is NOT the medical costs that are the problem.........it is the mountain of Administration
and Beaurocracy costs that are wrecking the Heakth care "deliverables".........only 44 cents in every dollar spent ever gets to a Patient !!!!
The same sort of ratio exists in almost every facet of Government Administration of OUR money.........does not matter which Country......they are all the
same.

David,
You are absolutely right. I remember when my father was alive all of the paperwork that was done. People have no idea. Anything government = a multitude of paperwork. I have to complete forms everyday in my job. Before I can move 6 inches in the morning I have to fill out 3 forms. There is a time sheet that I fill out in 15 minute blocks. Then there is the pre-trip form for inspecting my bus. Then finally there is the grounds record of how the school property looked since I am the first to arrive every morning. If there is a confrontation with a student or a parent there is a form for that... You get the idea.
We have a person who works for out schools system. His job is to shred paper once a month. It takes him almost 6 days to complete the task each month. Fortunately everything is scanned in and saved on disk. We keep the paper recorded 5 years before they are shredded. It is insane.
There was another David on this site that had it right as far as the infiltration into other countries. But I always reach to hope that everything will eventually be all right.
