Warning. Terrorist who strike in Turkey recently (New Year's, Reina Club), is suspected to have entered our waters, islands side, to flee. Judging from our previous performances and handling of those wonderful, culturally enriched people, he is most probably to be fed, sheltered, heated and accommodated for free (even be paid 400 euros if he stays long enough that new Syriza laws affect him too, while locals are being taxed to death down to the unemployed), just before being left alone to his devices, completely unchecked as usually with everything that sea vomits round here, to enter Europe at his leisure and keep up his "good work"... Just like we put out of prison before, through Syriza-Paraksevopoulos' law, the human trash who raped and killed Ladenburger; initially convicted in our place before, for trying to rape a local girl (and thankfully, failing).

Take care people! On the double with those "routine check ups" at them borders! Unless you have a sparkling genius like our PM, declaring publicly that "Sea has no borders"! Everything coming to you from here must be triple X-scanned all the way down to molecular levels!

You have been warned. Now i wash my hands and leave you all at your "playing charity" delusions, as usual. Hopefully, waking up just in time, to not loose your head, or the head of your child.

GreasyDogMeat: It seems to be pretty obvious but unfortunately many westerners have been brainwashed into the idea that all religions are equal.

It's correct that religion is irrational. But then again, that's the nature of religious faith. It could be said that religion is where irrationality belongs, and as long as it's paired with a pretty irrational universal love for all humans regardless of faith, it's an irrationality that we even desperately need.

We would, of course, oppose the irrational statements in politics, namely those of the US president-elect and his goons (like the many conspiracy theories or the counterfactual statements on unemployment rates), who have fostered the strange and entirely irrational idea that if you feel it is true, it must be.

As to the rationality of other world leaders, today I've read that Putin's withdrawing forces from Syria. I think he has one of those George W. Bush "Mission accomplished" moments. But that's what you get when you "liberate" a country by leaving its dictator in charge.

So, about those 37 (am I up to date?) genders . . . Are they true? Are they real?

Chromosomes' disorders and broken genes are very true and real, alas. Instead of "disability" status or serious "disorder" category, though, they have instigated themselves as "normal", "rights", "tolerance". They need professional help and psychiatric support, not laws to shoehorn this thing on (still) healthy society and make it through force appear like (and not as) "normal". This is so unreal...

That's not how most of the monotheistic religions have worked for the majority of their existence, an extremely unloving view of non-believers has been more typical for very long periods both of Christianity and Islam. At least in theory, mainstream Islam even went so far as to grant recognition only to peoples of the book whereas other communities don't have any right to existence at all (that thinking of course is the background to IS' attempt at genociding the Yazidis). And Christianity, even though supposedly a religion of love, manifested itself for centuries in discrimination and persecution of pagans, Jews, "heretics" etc.
Arguably in the modern West Christianity has been defanged and many Christians nowadays believe their faith is about love for everybody. But as far as Islam is concerned, apart from "heretical" sects like the Ahmadiya I see nothing to indicate that "universal love for all humans regardless of faith" is seen as a central tenet of the religion by most believers, whereas you have plenty of evidence for overt hostility against and discrimination of minorities in many majority Muslim countries.

No, if a person happens to not conform to society's binary gender, the person should be supported, not bullied for being different. Furthermore, the "help" you seem to be mentioning sounds a lot like conversion therapy, which has been proven to be harmful (sometimes even fatal); there is a reason that some US states have passed laws banning it.

Yeah, lately all manner of persons happen to "not conform to society's ANYTHING", not only gender. Hence riots, burning, beating people up, terrorist activity booming, etc. The very same system which feeds/lives/pampers them, from which they ask to be "adopted" or "be equal inside it", they long to see it undone and torn apart, striving with all of their powers towards that paranoid goal, advocates of chaos that they are. Nowadays, it is actually the minorities bullying society, bullying the system and bullying the norm, while happily dangerously proclaiming "love", "peace" and "equality" for facade, in the process. "You reap what you sow", as they say. People getting bugged and annoyed, disregarded and disrespected by the very same people yelling for respect and equality, leads to some very unpredictable actions. Brexit and Trump win is only the beginning. Keep up the good work; which is, enraging others to the point of supporting political options that they would never even consider in the first place, had they been left in peace. Hillary's defeat taught you nothing... Not *you* specifically, generally, i am talking.

Why do you need to reprogram and replace the entire thing? Aren't you the ones who say: "Coexist", "Live and let live", etc? Be honest and STRAIGHTforward, or don't. And why on earth do you condone and defend terrorist activity and anti-human faiths, all while claiming ignorantly in the process that all religions are one and the same and all must cease to exist? You don't favor one and say "i am against them all"; or, you don't hate one and say "i hate them all", because, in all due honesty, this is "false advertising", people!

i saw news on Russia Today tv channel about the white helmets group who recorded a rescue in syria then they APOLOGIZED for doing it when people figured it was just a fake act. i don't understand - those arabs expect us to forgive them simply because they say sorry? and it's not just that - there were videos of white helmets working with terrorists too. so they kill people, they say sorry, the world forgives them, and then they kill more people

While I would agree with you and I'd say religion is a crutch for life, I'd also say that many religions bring out the best in people. It's a crutch I often wish I could lean.

Islam, unfortunately, is more like a pack of cigarettes. Just replace potential cancer with potential terrorism.

In my country, we have a saying... "The town is burning, the "pussy" gets her hair done".

Islam isn't at fault for potential cancer or terrorism; the people who love (despite evidence, recent events, common sense) it and indiscriminately bring it in unquestionably and by force, without referendums like Hungary, are, instead!

Fully agree with you about western leaders... not so much about the connection between Islam and terrorism. The statistics and link between Quran/Hadith passages and violence is pretty obvious. That said if western leaders were doing their job it wouldn't be an issue. As an American I worry enough about bringing these people in and we appear to have far more rigorous vetting processes.
