Dude I feel like middle eastern girls break down into 3 categories:
-The ones in touch with their feminine side and conservative
-The crazy ones who infested with feminism (it's ever growing)
-The ones with princess jasmine syndrome (but also touch with their feminine side)

Quote: A major ferry crossing from Germany to Denmark has been partly closed after hundreds of migrants refused to disembark on arrival, demanding to be taken onward to Sweden, as Europe's migrant crisis spreads northward.
The crossing from Puttgarden to Rodby, Scandinavia's busiest ferry route to Germany, is usually open to car and train passengers.
But operators suspended the latter route after two trains carrying around 350 refugees spent Wednesday stuck in Rodby, demanding to continue on to Sweden.
The refugees refused to register with Danish authorities, which would mean having to apply for asylum in Denmark or returning to Germany, preferring instead to seek asylum in Sweden, where asylum conditions are more generous.
Sweden, one of many European countries struggling with the worst migration crisis since World War II, has become a top EU destination for refugees by issuing permanent residency to all Syrian asylum seekers.
In contrast, Denmark has sought to reduce the influx by issuing temporary residence permits, delaying family reunions and slashing benefits for newly arrived immigrants.
Wednesday's standoff was eventually resolved as around 100 migrants agreed to remain in Denmark, while the remaining 240 or so were allowed to disembark and continue their journey onward.
The disruption came after Danish police closed a motorway and rail links with Germany on Wednesday in a bid to stem the flow of refugees heading north to Sweden.
The motorway, a vital traffic artery for people and goods between the two countries, was closed when some 300 refugees, including children, began walking on it. Police tried to persuade them to leave but appeared reluctant to use force, witnesses said.
"We are trying to talk to them and tell them that it is a really bad idea to walk on the motorway," a police spokesman said.
Police also asked the state-owned railway operator to stop all trains between Germany and Denmark, although these were expected to resume on Thursday morning.
Vast numbers of people, many fleeing war and Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in Syria, are trying to reach safety in EU countries willing to have them.
Most have headed to Germany, but Sweden is also a favourite destination. Both countries have more generous policies for refugees than their EU neighbours.
Many refugees are reluctant to register in Denmark, where a centre-right government has cut benefits.
Denmark is part of the EU's Schengen zone, where borders are meant to be open to allow free movement. When asked by Reuters whether blocking the road and rail links meant breaking with the Schengen system, a police spokesman said he did not think so as he expected to traffic to start moving again soon, although he could not say when.
"We know that many of them want to go to Sweden, but naturally we cannot let that happen," police spokesman Carsten Andersen said. "So right now, we have asked them to start a dialogue. We are waiting patiently for some of them to agree to that and stick their heads out of the trains."
Quote:Danish police will no longer try to stop migrants and refugees from transiting through the country to get to Sweden and other Nordic countries, the police chief said Thursday.
The move highlights how European Union countries are struggling to uphold rules under which people fleeing war and persecution are supposed to apply for asylum in the first EU country they enter and not travel from one country to another.
The Danish decision comes amid a surge of migrants and refugees arriving from Germany and refusing to apply for asylum in Denmark, saying they want to go Sweden, Finland or Norway instead.
Danish authorities initially insisted they must register in Denmark but reversed course in a decision late Wednesday after standoffs with hundreds of migrants who demanded the right to cross the country.
"We can't detain foreigners who do not want to seek asylum (in Denmark)," police chief Jens Henrik Hoejbjerg said Thursday. "Therefore, there is no other option than to let them go, and we cannot prevent them from traveling wherever they want."
Jens Henrik Hoejbjerg says it is purely a police decision. In Thursday's statement, Hoejbjerg said the National Police took the decision late Wednesday. There was no immediate reaction from the Danish government.
In the Danish port city of Roedby, one of the two main crossings from Germany, migrants were seen being picked up by people in private cars. It was unclear where they were going.
Authorities said at least 3,200 migrants have entered Denmark since Sunday and about 400 have sought asylum.
Many migrants say they want to go on to Sweden, Norway or Finland, because they have relatives there or believe that conditions for asylum-seekers are better.
Quote:Thursday morning there is relatively quiet around the south border. This applies to around Rødbyhavn and around Padborg.
The police assessment that since last night has only come a few hundred new incoming thereto. Thus, the police assessment that since Sunday dinner came around 3200 foreigners to the country.
Police have only limited possibilities for detaining foreigners coming to the country. Many of them do not want to be in contact with the authorities and have no other desire than to continue their trip to Sweden or other countries.
Therefore, decided the National Police late Wednesday that it is not possible to withhold the thousands who are currently seeking to Denmark.
- There is a purely police professional assessment based on the options that are in the legislation, and obligations we have. We can not detain foreigners who do not seek asylum, and there is no prospect that we can quickly deploy again, said National Police Commissioner Hojbjerg.
The police must make sure to record the incoming if they wish to seek asylum. When the registration is made, the transferred asylum seekers to immigration authorities.
- We are in a situation where there is no prospect that these can be returned to their home countries. We obviously can not keep so many people in detention indefinitely. Therefore, there is no other option than to leave them at liberty, and therefore we can not prevent them from traveling wherever they want, says National Commissioner of Police.
The authorities continue to offer the incoming foreign assistance in the form of places where they can rest, meals and medical care. Police focus is to ensure peace and order and give the refugees a dignified treatment, where they are handled with dialogue and patience.

We need to stop telling ourselves that women and children are the only refugees who matter
Giving them priority only reinforces the idea that the lives of male refugees are somehow less valuable
Many of these adults are from middle-class or relatively affluent backgrounds with skills that would be of immense economic benefit to the countries they flee to. They're also just as human, and just as terrified of death, even if they're better at not showing it. In society's eyes, men might not symbolise vulnerability in the same way children and women do, but this should never lead us to give up on them.

My wife works for a Swedish government agency, which I won't name (she is Swede). It's sole purpose is marketing Sweden to Arabic speaking nations through various media, primarily social. She runs one of the social media sites for this agency...
Being that I am American and she Swede the topic has been a centerpiece of discussion for us (it's her job after all) as we have fundamental disagreements on the subject. I have always believed that Sweden shamelessly stretches the truth to make Sweden look like a socialist utopia abroad, and particularly so to Arabic speaking nations. After all, they created a nice functioning state (albeit fragile in my opinion), so there is nothing wrong with being proud of the now 100+ years gone into the Swedish system. The real fault here falls on the culture that has culminated in Europe over the last decades, and it's particularly apparent in Scandinavia. They have created an image so strong in their mind that Scandinavia is the greatest place to be that everyone else should be like Sweden. In fact, Sweden even goes as far as offering or selling their social programs to other nations. The mentality seeps into all aspects of society so that even marketing to other nations to live in Sweden seems like their own White Mans' Burden project.
After three years of my wife directly replying to questions on social media (she gets hundreds, sometimes thousands a week) about how to get to Sweden, how much money they will receive upon arriving, where they will live (they only want to live in Malmö or Stockholm), it is sad to see that many are simply interested in welfare benefits. I suppose that is somewhat expected to see from people trying to create stability. But my opinion on refugees aside, Sweden is now faced with the fruits of their labor marching toward their borders.

He was right of course on so many levels. You can even see some Middle Eastern leaders laughing at the crazy man Gaddafi when soon afterwards they were ousted by the globalists just as he predicted.
And now as he predicted come the millions of migrants like in some World War Z movie.
Quote:Africa is particularly at risk for a number of reasons. Poor rural communities typically live in close proximity to rodents, which are widely hunted and eaten in many plague-endemic areas. Superstitions, lack of money, and distance from health facilities often lead to delays in seeking health care and receiving treatment. The public health system in large parts of Africa is poorly organised and equipped, and political crisis and social disorganisation impede improvements

This comes from the guy who wrote "Capital in the 21-st Century", who is supposedly worried about inequality. When a person who wrote such a book is advocating for immigration (without any substance - if you read the article, you will see that the positive effects of this so-called immigration are just assumed), you know that your academics -all of them - have been bought. If not directly, then through status whoring.
Quote:The paradox is that the United States, thanks to its pragmatism and its fiscal and monetary flexibility, managed to quickly recover from the crisis it had set off. It rapidly resumed on its growth trajectory (U.S. GDP in 2015 is expected to be 10% higher than in 2007), and immigration is stable at around 1 million people per year. By contrast Europe, mired in its divisions and its sterile posturing, still has not regained its pre-crisis level of economic activity, with the consequences of rising unemployment and border closures. Migratory inflows dropped abruptly from 1 million per annum in 2000-2010 to less than 400,000 between 2010 and 2015.
