Urgh, just why? A few fatalities would make people less likely to cross the Med, which is a good thing.

tbh I think people would still take the risk
this will destroy our countries if we don't stop is soon and undo the damage already done.

Italians run a surprisingly efficient taxi service.

True. The baffling thing is that they pick them up a short distance off the Libyan coast and take them all the way to Italy. Commonsense would indicate a short tow back to the Libyan coast is all that is required to save their lives and also to show those on shore awaiting a trip to Italy that they are wasting their time and money.
Dammnnn subhanallah that's amazing 
Some people would rather die than live the way they do back there, surviving the trip is probably just a bonus to them

We're all human - how could deaths possibly be a good thing? I can understand possibly wanting a deterrent (though I personally disagree with that), but I can't comprehend why you'd prefer people to die. We're no different from them.

About 3,000 migrants were picked up Tuesday from the central Mediterranean, the Italian coastguard said, raising to around 10,000 the rescue tally over the past 48 hours.

Their boats too weak and technically unequipped for a voyage across the stretch of the Mediterranean to the shores of Italy, the migrants had set off with a small amount of gasoline in the overcrowded vessels, hoping to make it at least 15-20 miles out to sea and reach awaiting rescuers.

As much as I'm against the complete opening of borders to migrants, this is still very good news.

I often like many of your posts, so I know that you are not some libtard. However, you have to pick a side, you either pick up the boat people and destroy our civilisation, or you let them die, and save the civilisation.
I think of it like this, how many people will die as a result of violence when Europe collapses and falls into a variety of civil wars / insurgencies, whatever the number will be, it will be a lot more than the number of people who would drown.

Fatalities don't stop people, taking them back to Africa would. Thousands have already died this year, but people still risk it because they know if they're rescued they will be taken to Europe, which encourages. Look at Australia, a few years back they started a policy of returning their migrants to their source of origin, funnily enough nobody drowns anymore because they only have a few boatloads try it each year.

Why is encouraging people to risk their lives in the name of economic migration just to live in squalor and erode European values a good thing?

It would be great if they were taken to a Muslim country.

You didn't answer yje question, and they came from a Muslim country, through Muslim countries, to try to get to the rich countries.

Whilst i agree, you didn't really address the point, its kind of like saying "i want everybody to be happy", it is hard to disagree with that, but the statement is idealistic and can never be achieved.
