  1. I'm quite annoyed he's leaving. Very exciting and talented player. A true "Glass Cannon". Being realistic, I understand why this is not what we need at the moment though. Why is everyone going on about how he has his head up his ass?
  2. Same shit, different season: - Shit Refs. - Shit Team Selection. - Concede late because of an error. - Hutton, Cissokho, Gestede still shit. Positives: - Overall 2nd half performance was an improvement. - Baker looked solid. - Fans were great as usual. - Grealish was good when he came on. - Dr. X now knows we need to spend cash on Midfielders.
  3. "That is one trial by combat I look forward to watching!"
  4. Look, if you want to dissect every term I use, go on and waste your time. I think it's an amusing way of showing your discontent because you don't agree with me. Cry on
  5. Swarm behaviour, or swarming, is a collective behaviour exhibited by entities, particularly animals, of similar size which aggregate together, perhaps milling about the same spot or perhaps moving en masse or migrating in some direction. It is highly interdisciplinary topic.[1] As a term, swarming is applied particularly to insects, but can also be applied to any other entity or animal that exhibits swarm behaviour. People crying about the definition are desperatly looking to be offended or point fingers at others (à la PC Principal). Numerous groups have been labled swarms in the past. Edit: I understand it is a question of whether the term "swarm" is used to accuratly describe the behaviour of a group or to maliciously label it as an uncontrollable mass. I don't feel it is unreasonable to silently question the intent behind the use, but pointing out the possible malicious intent behind every use of the term diverts attention away from the main topic/discussion.
  6. 1. My lame ass job was obligatory. It's called serving your country. Something your lazy ass will probably never do. 2. I worked with 4 groups of 10 people. There were over 20 Groups in total. Edit: added "probably"
  7. Elaborate further and I might find myself taking a less aggressive/totalistic stance. It's too late to shut the borders. We have to deal with these refugees now. Even from a totalistic point of view it would be unfeasable. But letting them sort it out themselves: Yes -> arabic coalition (would be better if Saudi Arabia was participating for the right reasons). We just need to stop sending weapons to "moderate rebels". and Turkey needs to stop buying Oil from ISIS.
  8. After 2 months I would say yup, jog on.
  9. The term "confirmation bias" is a very easy way to dismiss other people's observations. Observations you are not prepared to consider as correct, because they may damage the world view you are desperatly holding on to. Good luck with that.
  10. Yes and I suspect these people were hand picked to (partially) confirm my preconceptions.
  11. Believe it or not, I heard it more than once...
  12. His novel made a point that was clear before he wrote it. My novel provides a much deeper insight. It's a different situation if you buy a Kebab of someone or if you actually work woth the people in question. Edit: Working with people who have just arrived and who don't understand the language or culture.
  13. Yes, people can be horrible irrespective of nationality, ethnicity etc. Wow, what an enlightening conclusion. You have earned yourself a sticker. Bravo. Really worth the novel you just wrote. I couldn't give a monkeys if you want to read my experiences or not. I think everyone is past the point where they know that bad people are everywhere. Your sweet little examples is just meant to show us how very open minded and tolerant you are. What a role model! You really earned the likes! I spent the first part of my Civil Service with a foundation, who's goal is to properly integrate refugees. This includes teaching them the local languages, showing them our culture (also rights and obligations), evaluating their skills to help them find a potential job (which will increase their chances of getting their application for asylum accepted). In my country we get a lot of refugees from Somalia and Eritrea, some from Syria and Bangladesh and a few from west african countries. I worked there for 2 months. The first 2 weeks I arrived highly motivated. Working overtime at minimum wage, I would go out of my way to help some very polite, respectful people. I used personal connections to get 2 guys (1 Eritrean, 1 Guinean) job offers at a Restaurant, which would drasticly increase their chances of being allowed to stay. This was not my job, but I did it anyway because I could see that they were really trying. Sometimes they even brought me job descriptions they printed out in an Internet Café. They tried to speak German to me when possible and talked to other locals in the coffee breaks. This is what we're looking for. Obviously, there were other, les ambitious "participants" aswell. I have never seen people this lazy. As soon as I left the room, they didn't work for a second. I remembered which language.exercises they were doing when I left. On my return, an hour later, they still had the same exercises on their desks. Untouched. I would hear "You don't give us enough money!" ; "We thought, that we're welcome here." and "At home they said we would get a house and live a nice life here. Where is all of it? Where?" (Thank you to all of you who posted "Refugees Welcome" to show the internet how compassionate you are. Where are you guys now? Art class ? Gender studies? Well, you're not doing anything to help here in the real world you *****!) Knowing (and seeing in my course) what status women have in the middle east, I had to explain equality. After explaining that woman are equal and not here to serve us, they would act as if they understand. Yet after this explanation, the women were still always getting them drinks from the cantine and clearing up at the end of the day whilst the men tried to hide outside. Not that the women were better. They would show no shame at all in asking me to do the simplest of tasks for them (although they would never dare ask their compatriots for the same favors). They tried to use me because they were too lazy to work themselves and believed that I was naive (which I was). Another example: "Hey dude, I might have a job offer for you. Please bring your documents with you tomorrow, so we can see if you would do ok there." Of course he "forgot" his documents at home the next day. He just didn't want to find a job, because the state gives him money for free. My motivation level started to sink because I realised that many of these people don't want to be helped. They want to be mothered and want other people to provide for them. My effort wasn't worth it. These people, mostly young and fit, are theoretically fully capable of making changes in their own countries. They have a different ideology which is deeply manifested in their heads. We cannot hope for all these people to adapt to our culture. Unlike Chindie, I will not end this post without a relevant conclusion (yours was really cute though). So here it is: You can offer all the tolerance and help you want. Some people don't want to/cannot be helped. We can deal with a few who are resistant to change, but the number of people entering Europe at the moment will shake the foundations of our cultures and countries.
  14. Yes, WITH your wife and child.
  15. Yup, I said all of that. You oversensitive do-gooders amuse me. I might find time later to write about my first hand experiences with refugees (syrian, ethiopian and eritrean) during my Civil Service. Showing you how some of these people really think might me worth the effort.
  16. They play your emotions like a fiddle. Touching. There are swarms. Swarms of young, fit men who should be fighting for Freedom in their own countries. You do not see the harsh reality we are facing. Your Island is keeping you safe, but blind. You will take 20'000 refugees until 2020. 140'000 applied in 2015. Germany let in over 400'000 in 2015.
  17. I heard he is linked to some very, very dodgy stuff. Anyone know how Lerner befriended him?
