I would, if I owned my own home. Alas, I do not.

Of course I'd try to facilitate them in getting work and thus earning enough to eventually support themselves, but whilst they needed shelter, I'd be willing to offer them one.

I would. I have five acres, and I'm planning to chip in with family members and buy twenty more acres. The problem is that it's undeveloped land on the edge of nowhere, and Syria even in rubble might look better by comparison to the refugees.

Good for you, being wealthy enough to own all that land.

I hope you can do something productive with it, like provide a home for refugees.

I made the last payment on it recently, and under the limp economy perpetuated by the Obama Regime it wasn't easy I can tell you.

Now that the Obama-supported thugs in Syria have been defeated, do these refugees really need refuge anymore. If I were them, I would want to go home and help clean up the mess.

Haven't you been keeping up?

Assad, Putin's buddy, is still killing his own people, dropping shells on schools and hospitals. People were being driven out of Syria way before ISIS filled the void, and that's down to the Assad regime, which your man Trump, supports, by proxy.

They have said many times that they want to go to their own home. That they do not want to go anywhere else but they been forced out. The know-it-alls here will repond with the same answers daily on how they can just ship these people anywhere in the middle east. They don't care to seek out answers to why. They often don't even know many Seriyans are Christians. And they don't seem to know that dropping these people in the wrong parts of the middle East will get them killed.

Whatever you have to tell yourself. I'm old enough to remember when you "liberals" loved the Russians. What happened?

I never trusted Russia. Because I was never a Communist.

Besides, JFK was a lot more hardline against the USSR than Reagan ended up being (admittedly to the latter's credit).

Because I was never a Communist.

Good for you. I see Communism as a big lie that promises people something that they're never going to get.

Indeed, and many other parts of the Middle East have their own infrastructure issues, besides the potential political and ethnicultural issues you allude to.

This is all our problem. Not just that of the Middle East. Every country that can politically and economically afford to do so, should take up the slack and do its bit.

I don't support any autocratic form of government.

That said, I am a social democrat. Societies with relatively low differentials between poor and rich tend to function better and with less unrest. But that's not the same as promising everyone they'll be equal or offering to pay everyone, from dustman to doctor, the same salary.

And from what I could see, the USSR's brand of Communism was all a big con that created a social hierarchy every bit as egregious and rigid as that of Tsarist Russia.

Sure you hate "any autocratic form of government", SURE!

Sure you are not and have not been a Commie, SURE!

Sure "Societies with relatively low differentials between poor and rich tend to function better and with less unrest.", SURE!

Sure "And from what I could see, the USSR's brand of Communism was all a big con ", SURE!

What is this? The House of Un-American Activities Committee?

You must be the board's resident Joe McCarthy.

HUAC, created BY LIBS.

P.S. And by the way, McCarthy WAS RIGHT.

They often don't even know many Seriyans are Christians.

About 10%, a larger minority than I would have expected. And the Syrian Christians want Assad as their leader, which speaks louder to me than "progressive" propaganda about Assad bombing hospitals. That kind of stuff is for idiots.

living in a land that has given home for many many thousands of Syrian refugees I can assure You that there is no correlation between probabilty of stealing and religion.

I've got a two bedder flat north of Byron they can have.

Good!

I know we often have our differences, but if you're genuinely going to investigate what you can do to accommodate refugees in your own home or another property owned by you, you have my upmost respect (for what it's worth).

I call bs.

No.

It happens to be true. And the fact that it is currently vacant is not making me happy.

The agent reckons there's a father and daughter interested. But it will still take weeks to get a lease signed and in the meantime it's costing me money. Just put new curtains in too.

On the other hand, my stocks are screaming!

Subsequently, the refs can have it until the newbies move in.

But what will happen to the refugees once the new tenants move in? Will you just turf them out?

I am more than happy for my taxes to support them.

In order to pay these taxes I require an income.

In order to have an income I require investments.

You could support one Syrian refugee by hot bunking, like they do on submarines. He gets out of the bed, and you get in. Then after you have slept, you get out, and he gets in.

I do enjoy refugee wit.

No.

Really.

I like to think of myself as a humanitarian, but even I think that's impractical. People should not be deprived of their need to sleep.

I read that the Australian government has pledged to take 12,000 Syrian refugees, so let's hope Judas keeps his pledge. In this instance, I don't doubt the sincerity of his intention.

I don't doubt the sincerity of his intention.

I doubt it. If any Syrian refugees want to squat on my land they are welcome to do so, and I will offer them whatever comforts I can. Judas talks the talk, but can he walk the walk?

Hey, fuckers, Assad is a war criminal with the blood of thousands of innocents on his hands.

ISIS are innocent angels compared to him, that they only can dream to commit such mass murders.

What a bunch of morons on this thread!!!

Assad is a war criminal with the blood of thousands of innocents on his hands.

Yup.

ISIS are innocent angels compared to him

Erm, not really.

What a bunch of morons on this thread!!!

...and you clearly felt left out.

You and I are in agreement on this one.

I trust you are paying for these people as well.

I guess.
