Is it ever easy to criticise refugees? That's a strange thing to say...

It's easy to support refugees, until you see them harassing women and beating up gay people in your own country.

The courage to run away to a European welfare state and live as a burden to others. Courage would be to stay/fix country

*its easy to criticise me until you witness my courage. Perhaps subconsciously what's going on here
kirkness May 27
and after half of your family died bc you wanted to stay and fight, that'd be most courageous, right?

You send your defenseless to Europe for temporary assylum, maybe you're justified. They sent mostly men.

Criticism (as in negativity rather than critique) is always a failure of empathy, in the *critic*.
AM_ProHuman May 27

Michelle Catlin May 27
These refugees where born in countries where treating women and gays like garbage is normal. No thanks.
Frank in PA May 27
They are creating civil war where they go.
kirkness May 27
no, its our western fearful conservatives who are trying to view everything as an attack. Truly delusional
AM_ProHuman May 27
that's just factually false. At least 50% are women
