deporting an Afghan to a certain death.........Turns out he had been convicted of assault during his stay in Sweden (although that's not the main reason he was deported). Young Elin said she wasn't aware of this and was doing it based purely on humanitarian reasons :clap:
This is a misstatement of the facts, I'm afraid. Young Elin was there for someone who turned out not to be on that flight. Therefore she turned her attention to some other bloke, since she was on that flight. Protest is about optics, and being as she was on that flight, she went ahead. Nothing wrong with that.Quote:

What have i misstated? Did she stop a plane from taking off because an Afghan was being deported on it? Yes. Had he been convicted of assault? Yes. Was she aware of the chaps criminal background? No.Quote:

Word BGM.Quote:

I changed it to annoying. I sometimes struggle with my English now, C. It upsets me on a daily basis when i struggle to find the right words :cry:Quote:

An irritable **** can usually be sorted out with an application of Canesten.Quote:

So you're saying that what's really important to her is a chance to demonstrate her carefully-cultivated sense of outraged virtue regardless of circumstance or context? In other words, she doesn't care about the individuals involved, just has a blanket objection to the notion of deporting anyone at all ever?Quote:

The funny thing is most of the Afghan's have been living in Iran and will probably end up back there even if they're sent back to Afghanistan. Sending him to his death :rolleyes:Quote:

Interesting that both countries are also notable for being prosperous, liberal, polite but ultimately very dull as well. Maybe they both feel a need to make themselves more interesting by making a name for themselves by navigating the wilder shores of self-abnegating identity politics?Quote:

The federal policy of multi-culturalism came about largely because of this. They didn't have anything that defined them so they decided to focus on their diversity and as a result they continue to focus on it and continue to lack the sort of history and traditions that make other countries so interesting.Quote:

I always love the phrase 'focus on diversity'. :hehe: The fact that it doesn't even make sense semantically should be a clue to the fact that it won't work in practice either, but one is no longer even surprised by such stupidity in this area.Quote:

The Afghan, while important, was not the only factor here. But you must measure, and by you I mean you, every action according to some dour economic scale. One ounce action, this much money or whatever gained. Two ounces, that much.Quote:
