Refugee Problem

[thewizeard]

Well I do indeed feel sorry for them and which war are you refering to Neil?

[Neil__]

edit Removed as argument seems to be resolved

Do you feel sorry for them, surely you can answer that question?

[Ron]

Why do so many of them complain about how bad our country is, when they had it so bad in their own? (talking about Belgium here)

A while back, we had a little scandal, concerning the unemployment ofice.
They offered the chance to get your drivers licence for free, but ONLY if you weren't Belgian.
Native unemployed people had to pay the full price.
A girl I know works there, and she told me that these people complained that the driving test wasn't performed by an Arab person.
Our government is continuously implementing 'positive discrimination' laws and regulations.
They even want to force catholic schools to make Islam part of the lesson package. Catholic schools!!!
Is there an end to what refugees can demand?
Refugees are our guests. They should behave as such.

I don't think that's right Ron, I believe that when you go to a foreign country,"When in Rome do as the römans do"

[Ron]

I couldn't agree with you more Denis, but that's the problem exactly.
Most (not all) immigrants want to enforce their way of life on the natives here.

Extreme right wing parties are on the rise all over Europe. Is that so surprising?Contrary to the Netherlands (who I think are as close to being a rolemodel as can be) refugees in Belgium don't have to speak the language to get the Belgian identity. How can they even think of integrating like that? How can they find a decent job?
So the government makes all these new laws and regulations to force employers to hire them anyway.
Does that make sense?

[denis123]

Which of the two languages is the official language in Belgium?

[Ron]

Belgium has three actually.
Dutch (Flemish)
French
an German (minority)

They're all official languages.
Some people are shouting to make Arab the fourth, but I doubt it will come to that.

[denis123]

That presents a problem. If Belgium followed the Netherlands, I wonder which language the refugees would have to learn?

[Ron]

Well, any of them would be good.
Well, depending where you would want to live, I mean.
If you look at Belgium on a map, everything North of Brussels is mainly Dutch (Flemish), everything South of it will be solely French.
The German part (also in the South) is so small it's almost irrelevant.

Mind you, I was talking about a special kind of immigrants here.
Strangely, all non-Islamic immigrants have no problem with our rules and regulations, or language for that matter.
