When hundreds of thousands of refugees are suffering and dieing no thanks to Western interventions you have people rescuing DOGS all the way in Turkey instead. Where are people's priorities!? Especially those who constantly boast of superior western secular liberalism humanism. Is this humanism?


So because humans are fighting (as they have been doing for thousands of years) animals should be left helpless and hurt as a result of human conflict?
Screw anyone who makes out that animals aren't worthy of protection or care, they're just as bloody worthy as we are.
ALSO. There are loads of charities, appeals, rescue plans, immigration laws supporting refugees and aiding their recovery and often rehousing them in safer countries - which by the way, is creating loads more problems - look at the Cologne incident, but that's a whole different thread.

Animals are amazing, dogs especially and ironically, the fact that we do pour so much money and energy into animal protection, care and rescue does actually demonstrate the ''superior'' (as you called it) modern attitudes of the UK and USA. I can tell a hell of a lot about a person by their attitudes towards animals.

Hugs for everyone who loves dogs :smile:

Sexually assaulting women is part of radical Islam

You need to read again. I said radical Islamists participate in sexual abuse. Then she said she wanted evidence for that. It's not rocket science


Ok, so I took your advice and read again. I've quoted what you did say because you've obviously forgotten. You said sexual assault was part of radical islam, not just that they participate in it. When she asked for evidence of this, she was asking for evidence of assault being apart of Islam. No one, I repeat, no one was saying radical islamists don't participate in sexual assault. I then said that radical islamists are not the only ones to participate in sexual assault. It's not rocket science.

Dogs are much better than the migrants who come to Europe as benefit scroungers. All dogs ask for is food and love.


So why not?


And before anyone asks, I'd happily take in rescue dogs from the Middle East. Arab men who are too wimpish to fight for their country? Nah Benedict Cumberbatch can.


Or Jude Law. Let him take a dozen or so into his mansion.

Oh shut up already with your racist garbage


How is it racist?

Middle Eastern migrants did cause assaults in Cologne
Muslims were involved in Rotherham
The killers in the Charlie Hebdo attacks/Paris massacres were Muslims (radicalised)
Because of the migrants the centre of Cologne has become a no go area for women at night

He's merely stating facts

All the celebrities who signed a letter to the PM can do the same. I find it so ironic they are all for bringing in the migrants because they've got money in their bank accounts and a private jet to go off if England gets screwed up by the migrants.

Dogs don't have agency, aren't coming in their tens of millions, and don't pose a threat to our safety, security, values, and way of life

Nothing to do with racism

Nothing to do with Arab ethnicity


I'm sorry but it is.how can you say that when these immigrants are from Arabia? It's racism plain and simple

Fantastic... what a wonderful charity and work they are doing.

Maybe Turkey could stop embezzling ISIS oil and facilitating them whilst their leader is busy throwing journalists in jail and turning the country into a theocratic Islamic hellhole and could spend a little bit of their money on helping its dogs or at least neutering them so their suffering can end.

Many of them are from Africa and Asia amigo. Sure, there may be a degree of cultural intolerance and xenophobia involved in the disquiet but that's a different proposition


Intolerance and xenophobia is low key racism

I'd agree they might have their priorities a bit mixed up, but since I'm not for importing large tides of people either I can't really knock someone spending their own time and money saving dogs that they'll have to keep and pay for, aside from the ethical criticism that really they technically could be helping thinking feeling human beings with aid.

Political correctness and "anti-racism" caused rotherham
Dogs don't bring dark age values and culture into the host country that offers them refuge; they're just dogs

I know it isn't a race bebs.

Of course it doesn't. But Arab cultures are normally sexist and misogynistic.

True.

But I can always look at the human rights record in Arab countries and they're pretty much always lowest in the world

Your garbage is speciesist.

I know what you mean, but technically this is of course incorrect and it's important to get this right. Intolerance, fear/hatred, and arbitrary belief in blanket superiority, are somewhat interrelated, if certainly not synonymous, themes :beard:


Hmm I don't buy it

Like many other countries around the world

A lot of the N. Africans identify as Arabs actually. :beard:
