A person can both be trying to better his life, and be of low quality.

I don't think someone with few skills is a "low quality" person. Someone with a low-IQ is not a "low quality" person in my view.

would you prefer an expression like "someone who will never be able to generate enough income to repay what his presence costs "?

I’m just glad you found love

It’s a shame your interpretation of the Bible makes it forbidden

My heart goes out to you both

Bolded is false, but I am prohibited from engaging that topic.

While I wouldn't say that's an accurate statement, that statement in itself does not demean the person qua person.

(Haven't got to use the word "qua" in ages.)


Rumors about who the assassin purportedly was are very wild, but i'll wait for confirmation before discussing them

The person shouldn't be demeaned. But the person shouldn't be allowed to become a participant in our societies because we are broke already caring for our own low quality citizens.

Are you getting these rumors from the same places that are saying it’s def a Marxist health care absolutist? Or did you deduce that yourself.

You've had the economic benefits of immigration in th eUS explained to you probably 100 times

Just because the infrastructure and opportunity doesn't exist in Italy, or maybe even the broader Europe, doesn't mean that this infrastructure and opportunity doesn't exist in the US

And maybe you are talking about Italy specifically, or broader Europe, but the general context of this forum is the USA. When you broadly say things like this it just makes you look wrong

There are rumors with name, pics, and role as a Waltz appointee in some minor state relation board.

But until confirmation, it's useless to discuss them.

Yes, which is why i posted a pic of europe.

Whatever the reason(s), the topic is about immigration contribution to european crime rates. Namely robberies. That was the map.

Why do you discuss the USA?

The general context of this forum is the world. We are in the other news thread. We discussed things happening in Japan, Argentina and Mexico here.

I posted a map of europe showing very clearly how absurdly correlated to immigration robbery rates are (immigration rates by country are known to people who know europe. If you want, i can provide them).

Scandinavia robbery rate per 100k is the same map of foreign born people.

He died? last i read they were both in very serious conditions but alive

No, Senator Hoffman and his wife are expected to recover. But Representative Hortman and her husband were found dead, so it's a murder inquiry.


Poland did this without extra-EU immigration (with the very recent exception of Ukrainians entering in mass, which temporarily stopped the incredible run)



This is part of the problem with ICE wearing masks and unmarked uniforms. Impersonating an armed authority figure is now easier than ever.

Yes i checked later and she is dead.


Canada had to rename the protests "no tyrant" because they actually have a king

Man thank god you checked

Nice try, except the impersonator had a police vehicle as well.

Incredible theory developing @57 that Hoffman was targeted because he was close alphabetically to the actual target and he first went to the wrong address. Would square perfectly with the perpetrator being a radical leftist.

Nice try, I didn’t say the shooter was impersonating ICE.

Simply pointing out that it’s easier to impersonate any armed officer due to the non-standardization of recent agencies (such as ICE). How can you be sure the person identifying themselves as an official actually is one?

The pitfalls of masking police/military is literally the plot of the HBO Watchmen series.

Bitching about what ?
Doesnt seem a bad final to me compare to the 2017-18 final that didn’t even needed to be played shrug .


Despite her R vote the other day, Rep Hortman was pro-choice, and the target list may be to do with that, in which case the murderer would not be a leftist.

The list included dozens of other Democrats from Minnesota, including Gov. Walz, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Sen. Tina Smith and Attorney General Keith Ellison, according to law enforcement sources familiar with the matter.

Law enforcement officials are looking into whether the suspect may have been motivated by extreme views on abortion, the sources said.

Security resources have been dispatched to protect those people named on the list, authorities said. The Capitol Police said it's "working with our federal, state and local partners."

Ok the NY post is reporting on it so...

the perpetrator allegedly is a democrat operative, a person politically appointed by Waltz for the Governor’s Workforce Development Board. He previously had worked on other appointments for the previous democrat governor.

Those robberies rates included all those millions dollars of white collar robberies you think ?
They are few but they surely are far more damaging then robbing 100$ at a store .
Even tho it’s the low heist that end up in prison while the “non violent” robber in the millions end up serving his sentence in the community .

Refs swallowed their whistle on SGA’s traveling and pushoff bullshit and apparently have no idea what a flagrant is

Other than that, ya we good

Maybe he just got fired and wanted retribution.
Wouldn’t be the first time these things happen shrug
