<p>Its not destroying europe, its trying to keep it running somehow.</p> <p>Thats pretty hard to do if there is no unity and you can only take passive actions and talk.</p>

@Michael Just to clarify that.Merkel is not in the position to make such decisions, nor can I find any reference that such a decision was done.Every financial decision has to be discussed openly in our parliament, requires multiple levels of approval and then has to be published to the media. Germany is probably the only country in the world where every discussion and every decision is commented by government speakers in a public press conference. Every citizen even has the right to attend the …

I probably wasnt 100% clear on that.Important is the ratio at which depts and GDP increase. If that is out of proportion then troubles sooner or later start.Countries with high debts/GDP % still might be in good shappe but that generally depends on income and usually somewhat higher tax rates. High debts by default dont mean anything bad.... it just means people were willing to lend money. Luxemburg has such a high % because its economy is highly influenced by the financial sector. Stock market…

putting aside that this thread went way off topic I am wondering why people consider a few million refugees such a big deal. In the next decades we can expect hundreds of millions or even billions of refugees. That can not be avoided thats just a matter of time. Do I go crazy about that? No. I don't consider all of this a problem. At best I consider it a challenge which requires solutions. Step by step, to have a negative view on everything prevents that changes can happen.There seems to be a w…

1. still alot of populism without any solutions2. you generalize ALOT when talking about refuguees which makes it appear like all or most of them are criminals which just want to ruin our countries. Well, this simply isnt the case. There are many with the right to stay (the biggest part of refugees is from Syria). There are refugees which dont have the right to stay... thats true. The cheer number of refugees made it took so long to handle the situation. Refugees were sent back and now even more…

cleaned the funny video thread from this mess. 1. A solution always happens in the future.... not in the past. What you do is wish thinking that leads nowhere. Putting that aside what would have happened if there were no EU?Of course the situation would be different... each country can make own decisions.... and there are borders everywhere.However, there is one thing that is not different, wars and economic problems which have lead to the refugee crisis. If a stream of refugees would have move…

wow ok... let me explain something here.The EU is responsible for opening borders for EVERYONE inside the EU. -> schengen accordThats something ALL the countries agreed uppon. If you want to blame someone then blame your politicians for agreeing to it.The outside borders of the EU are still supposed to be closed and guarded by the countries. Infact the EU as a whole even supports these countries doing their job. There are german ships in the mediteranian see supporting local forces. Problem is …

Main question for you should be: "If changes in germany are possible why does spain have such problems to make changes?"The EU does not tell Spain that its not allowed to change laws. Its a political problem in Spain. The right for asylum and how asylum looks like is matter of the countries. They decide about it. They can make adjustments up to the point where human rights get involved (which btw. also was agreed uppon by each country individually).

so 28 (-1) states are too incompetent to say "no"? especially the UK which was most successful in negotiating one bonus condition after the next with the EU? (I am really glad that this is over) More than enough countries said "no" and defended that position succesfully. Yours was not amongst them.Again, blame your politiciansThey sit as much in the EU parliament as all others and have as much rights as all others.

Ive spent some time investigating a bit EU contracts and its permissions.Nowhere is there any regulation regarding refugees or any influence of the EU on Asylum politics.However, the EU and the countries have a shared competence in matters concerning humanitarian aid. Explicit said is that EU shall not restrict member states from excersing humanitarian aid.Yeah, I know... its says pretty much the opposite of what we were discussing here, but its pretty much the closest thing the EU has at least…

I am not sure how to respond to that. That "margin" of freedom is big enough for local leaders to make good decisions. The limitation start where good morale ends.There is a european commission of human rights and your question apparently went into that direction.A european country that breaks human rights will of course end infront of a european court because of that and later on also infront the juristication of the UN.Violating the human rights is a crime... one of the most disgusting things…

But you know that I explained that already? Your government has the right to send the (let me use your expession) illegal refugees back. There is absolutely nothing the EU or any other country can do against that. There might be national laws which need to be changed but thats business of your government. I also explained to you that you can not put them on a boat and send them back. That would violate foreign territory and thats something your government clearly wants to avoid.Countries are no…

The stuff he said was about the Brexit, it was on the news, you can still watch it in full length on the net and you can read the transscript. The open-doors policy didnt change any rights. Infact that were just statements which do not even mess with already existing laws and regulations. That Merkel is responsible of some stuff is true... that everything she did was wrong is not true. She did a decision which was morally correct. If more european countries would have showed support then we wou…

are you kidding me here? I explained that stuff in detail before.Meanwhile I get the feeling that you either dont want to understand or cant understand what I wrote. I give detailed explainations and just a few posts later you start with the same crap again.

its not a matter of different points of views.its just that you cant and dont want to understand how the EU and political decisions work. Rules and laws are not a matter of POV.Responsibilities of local governments are not matter of POV. Based on the founding priciples of the EU Merkel did nothing wrong.Merkel is also no responsible for the Brexit.... you can blame Cameron for that as he was the idiot calling for a referendum in hope to save his political career (which obviously didnt work well…

No its not contradicting. Absolutely not. And what you claim is not what i said.You once more started to generalize. I really wonder how you are able to tell here that requesting help is equal to forcing somebody to something.If requesting help is such a terrible and evil thing then its probably best that we all never do something like that again. I will never ask for help again and of course I will never offer help again if that leads to claims that I forced somebody to do something he/she did…

Yeah... right.Throughout the past 2000 years Germans were known as peace loving, flower picking, highly diplomatic people.We had luck.

No... we only had invasions from the west and the souths during the times the roman empired tried to conquer that land (and got defeated by german tribes). Later on we had invasions from the east as result of the Huns. We had invasions from the north throughout the middleages. We had practically nearly no year without internal conflicts since germany until the 19th century was a losoe collection of dozens of states/kingdoms fighting over territory and influence. We constantly had troubles with …

careful with such words.... the US has not voted yet.

(Quote) In germany, deaths in car accidents PER MONTH is more than 6 times higher than all victims of terrorism (including the wounded from yesterday) over the period of the entire year.That are 72 times more deaths in car accidents if I consider the entire year (and germany has a relative low death rate in car accidents compared to other countries).-> I just compared the numbers. So whatever you are talking of.... its bullshit. But while we are at it... in the USA (which obviously is not a cou…
