As we are watching horrendous, armed conflicts around the world, wondering what to make of them and how to pick sides...
It's actually not that difficult.

My humble comment on the atrocities millions of people are suffering under these days, or, ever:
The dividing line between good and evil does not run along the lines drawn by armed forces, but between the powerful commanders and the silent victims of their violence.
If you're going to pick sides, pick that of humanitarian law. Of humanity as such.

Das, was ich bisher über das angedachte, vereinfachte System gelesen habe, erscheint mir nicht ganz so vereinfacht und übersichtlich. Kein Abo mehr, aber Grundgebühr...
Aber wir werden ja sehen, ob's die Leute von der Strasse holt.
Das wäre sicher ein grosser Erfolg.
(Das und günstige Nachtzüge.)

Dann machen wir halt eine Initiative für Gesetzesinitiativen auf Bundesebene. Ist ja eh lächerlich, dass wir jede Bauverordunung und Kleidervorschrift neben die Grundrechte in die Verfassung reinpacken.

Der Araber im Weissen Haus

Sein unberechenbares Temperament, sein autoritäres Denken und sein fragwürdiges Demokratieverständnis sind untrügliche Zeichen: Der US-Präsident verfügt über eine orientalische Mentalität. Was auch se...

You will agree that a Holy Book from Antiquity cannot be considered as the basis for International Law in the 21st century?
Imagine who else would pop up and try to turn back the wheels of time. It'd be rather absurd, wouldn't you agree?

Doesn't look like that's an issue, really.
As for having been there and not wanting to be driven off the land... you do know who else is making that case?

White people in South Africa still cannot speak Zulu even after settling there for almost four hundred years.

If you want to live in the UK, you should speak English. That's common sense.

So we're raising English language requirements across every main immigration route

"Product of Morocco" may well be a product of occupation of the Western Sahara. Now likely more so than before.
