The Netherlands - no real compromise by center left
Labour - Obamaesque equivocation. Some compromise but not a lot. Playing with fire.
Denmark - a true pivot by the center left to listening the electorate and concerns over the values of society vs immigrants.

France - no compromise by the center left. But luckily for now a true centrist exists in macron to play kingmaker and embrace a more security minded approach.
A weird thing to think about is that how the center left is dealing with the immigration issue is just not very uniform in Europe.
Now tell us about the pattern of criminal behavior from that group that attacked the Israeli athletes.

Interesting that their outlook on life has caused a surge in popularity for Geert Wilders.
Now if somebody really wanted to create a legal framework for escorts that was safe and completely avoided being a nuisance then go for it. :-/

I’m not sure the city really needs this but that’s the reasonable approach.
Street prostitution should be illegal in nyc.

Maybe this is one case where I actually buy the argument of Islamophobia.

Crackheads offering sex for cash on a public street is not something people of faith should have to see. Or people of any kind of decency.
It's more appeasement to antisemitism than anything else.

Everyone knows deep down it's because they want to prevent an international incident of local people from that other faith attacking Israel as in the Netherlands.
We should recognize that some opinions immigrants have are contrary to our way of life, such as exterminating Israel or conquering Kashmir for pakistan by violence. Those immigrants should be deprioritized.
This is a bridge too far.

Every man has the right to practice his religion. But if you treat support for exterminating Israel as just another opinion you're missing the long haul game.
It's wild that the saudis are the ones pushing against islamic extremism here. :-| Trump what are you doing?
I live in DFW. Man I try to pretend Jerry Jones is no longer a public figure. :-|
Is that actually accurate though? In the Netherlands it really seems the hooliganism was initiated by local people of Arab origin
Unfortunately I think matt's point is a bit confusing.

Yes - a lot of inner city violence is learned behavior.

But you probably can't just scatter everyone from the inner city.

That is plausibly more expensive social engineering than just putting violent people from the inner city in prison.
I'm certainly open to the idea that the middle class Israelis who visit the UK are the ones engaging in football hooliganism.

Rather than the group already committing a disproportionate amount of crime in the UK that holds intensely antisemitic beliefs. But presumptively this seems unlikely.
Yup. It’s up to nys and the federal government to work on blocking his agenda at this point. Let him be the symbolic mayor who cheerleads terrorism.

But don’t let him bankrupt even more landlords or promote crime and disorder.
It’s more of a chamberlain esque move. Appeasing the people in that religion that generally wants to exterminate the Jews. But whatever.

94% of the uk is still not of that other religion.

There is time to enact immigration reform and preserve liberalism in your country
I might give the French an edge on film but even there, idk.

When the Germans produce a man like Wim Wenders, he will totally make an American film like Paris, TX and it becomes a classic.
But I guess that is the reason. Germans are humble about German culture and willing to speak to an American audience. While the French just do themselves.
One thing I thought about.

How is it that Americans love French culture and view German culture as stilted and boring and yet we've had two classic German bands (Ramstein and the Scorpions - also debatably Kraftwerk) but nothing from the French?
Why not remove Maduro with US military and then hold a free and fair election? That is what we did in Panama.
So the technology Israel has used to kill terrorists will also be used to hold people who broke the law accountable? Doesn't sound so bad.
Adopting polygamy would reduce child poverty in america.
