bogarde73, on refugees (including women and children):

Whereas you, mothra and the rest of your sorry apologists for surrendering your country to other peoples' interests would prefer that we admit dangerous adherents to an alien culture and religion that in time would make this country the hell-hole that is Europe now.
Have you been to Europe lately? I'd be keen to hear your observations, Bogey.
When I was there, it was lovely - nothing like Syria, which I've only seen on the news.
I'm not sure what you mean by dangerous adherents to an alien culture. Europe is full of Arab cultural references. Grapes from Shiraz, croissants from Egypt (croissant means crescent), kebabs and cous cous and Arab quarters - Arabic numerals. Pizza (originally an Arab dish).
I've been to some of Europe's Arab districts (in Berlin and Vienna), just as I live in one of our own - a Lebanese suburb in Sydney. I couldn't see anything alien or incompatible about a bunch of shops selling Arabic produce and old blokes sitting around drinking Lebanese coffee.
If you're going to present an argument about something, I think you should at least make it realistic. It really doesn't help getting hysterical about things. Hyperbole is best left out. No one is going to come around to your argument if it's just a mad rant.
As St Paul said in Corinthians, "if I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but I have not love, I am as a resounding gong or clanging symbol".
Homo should like that one.
