We shall not make distinction between people on the basis of where they come from, but on the basis of who they are.
We should not say "we do not immigrants". We should say "we do not want antisocial and criminal elements". We have to be aware, that not all Muslims are antisocial religious fundamentalists, and at the same time not all Germans are hard working good citizens. I have met hardworking good Muslim citizens and antisocial Germans, and vice versa. We must never judge the person on the basis of nationality, religion or race. We must judge a person on the basis of his life and achievements.
If your only achievement is sucking social money and making undereducated children - then you should get the hell out this country, regardless of your religion, race or nationality.
If you are a good citizen, contributing to the development of the society - you should be rewarded, regardless of your religion, race or nationality.
Now it's time for the other part - the Swedes. Swedes and Swedish authorities very often fail to separate merits and race ethnicity. We are coming to the bizarre situation when the left says that immigrants are OK and anyone who says anything wrong about immigrants is a Nazi, and on the other hand, the growing nationalists saying that all immigrants are bad, criminal, anti-social, social-help-sucking individuals. Obviously, NONE IS TRUE. This is the point, where I think that both left and right side of political scene is made of the same kind of morons, only dressed in different team colors.
And this is just the beginning.

At one side we are saying shortage of workforce and need of immigrants. on the side immigrants are risk for lot of things.
we should be clear, what we want.
It doesn't matter. Whatever they do, it won't work. It's too late.
Disclaimer: I am an expat. All in all, expat is just another word for immigrant, but it does not carry any controversy.
it's not every single immigrant. just the brown ones.
No truer words have been spoken on The Local!
I blame "Care in Community" , too many lunatics in society. Dont hold your breath for diegoveggie.What a total cockroach!!
The lights been flicked on, so it done the one thing its type do. Done a runner.
Dont even waste your breath with idiots who at best articulate themselves by random mystery outbursts.
Same type that "publish" their thoughts in public toilets frankly. Genius type....
This is the truest word i have ever hear in the local Bolababu.Some of these swedes dont even realise thier stupidity.One moment, you can see sadness and misery written all over thier faces and the moment they sees you,a smile is forcefully switched on automatically like a robot..Only losers and suckers fall for that crap lol
They are pretentious cowards. And it knows no limits. I mean even installing Sabuni to dupe the simple minded. Glad I can meet people here who can see through the rotteness.
What a sick man you must be DreEstwd...I pity you .Where did you gather your data and polls from..probably while masturbating and living in your dream world....Wake up and face reality..The truth is bitter they say
Grow up and deal with reality as a man you loser
I agree with you 100% that SOME immigrants are just trouble. They are lazy, uneducated, poor, etc. Unlike you, they add nothing to Sweden's economy. They just take away. And they are not the right color (check comments above).SOME.
So now let's take your reasoning to its logical conclustion, now that that's out of way.
So there you are. You have all the reasons to be pissed off. Swedes, unlike the rest of the peoples of the world, are justified to be racist. Its OK for white Swedes to make jokes about non-Aryan immigrants in Sweden. You know, the "brown" people. Those with funny looking noses. Its all OK cause they all guilty of robbing and raping and they don't pay any taxes.
Now, since ALL these people are bad and are not really in need of help, what is the ultimate solution instead of the plastic smiles? Apartheid, for those already in the country and clear rule that Sweden will only accept blue-eyed, violent free Aryans as immigrants. Tell the entire world. And while at it, please remove that shame Minister, Sabuni.
That MR DreEstwd is what you're telling me. Right? I hope you will have the guts to answer this question so we put it to rest - at least between you and me.
I get really confused when I read comments about Somalis and spitting. Yes I know it is in their nature to spit. But nobody seems to notice that the Swedes (those who take Snus) spit more.
In my three years in Sweden, I have never seen a single somali spitting, but for the Swedes, it is like a competition on who will spit the fartherst. And to make matters worse, it is not just spit...... It is spittle. When standing at the bus stop, and one hears this throat gurgling/grating sound, it is time to take cover because it is sure as hell coming in droves and might land on your shoes. And this applies to men women and teenagers.
But then again, I live in a very small town, maybe they are allowed.
"rarely been instilled in these new arrivals". That's NOT true. I've lived in quite a lot of places in Europe and Sweden is the best one or lest bad one in that.
I know a lot of political refugees in UK, France, Spain, Switzerland and CZ; and SE is the one that tries the hardest to integrate these people.
Leave the politics out of this one mate.
OMG!
I never thought anyone would agree with me! I though I just biased or something! I totally agree with you, mate. I have never seen a people that spit as much. And anywhere for that matter. Kinda disgusting. But like you point out, its in other cultures too. Just didn't think i would find here.
But hey, they are supposed to be the very pinacle of evolution, right? So there must be something wrong with our eyes, mate. Wonder what Hitler would have thought. Anyway, would have pardoned them for this littile imperfection they would more than made up for it by stealing the Auschwitz thing. . .
agree with you 100%
There are so many snus packets and cigarette butts on the street here that sometimes it's hard to walk without stepping on one. You always here people talking about how clean Sweden is, but between the snus and graffitti, that hasn't been my experience.
Maybe in the bigger cites they're better about keeping it nice. More money to spend on that kind of thing.
Back to topic, I think Beynch's comment #2 is right on the mark.
Sweden does need immigrants but they need a much better system to get everyone intergrated.
They can't just throw thousands of refugees from a completly different culture together in neighborhoods, give them free money, housing, education by their standards and free healthcare and expect that they would willingly intergrate into society.
Lack of a working integration program and isolation for a group of people in a forgien land will only lead to mistrust and prejudice between the immigrant population and the nationals.
They also need to narrow the floodgate down to a trickle and only let in educated immigrants who want to and will contribute something to Swedish society. They have more than enough refugees.
You won't the immigrants then. Tell the ladies its time to have babies and not pet dogs.
Plan B would be to adopt the grand advice from VIKING WARRIOR.
Declare that Sweden is for white europeans only. Purge the place of the existing non-white immigrants. See HItler's manuals for details. And please understand that that does NOT mean you are being a NAZI. You are just exercising your sovereign right as a country to have the sort of people that you want. And what's more you are preserving your national identity and culture. But since left to yourselves you will still die out, you would stilll need to start breeding all the same. Outlaw pet dogs.
See, simple isn't it?
Sorry didn't mean to shove anything that is unpalatable even to you. Just thought you needed someone to be courageous on your behalf.
OK. I am now humbly at your feet willing to learn. What is to "prefer to be amongst their own in their own country "? How do go about doing that? Practically.
Answer to my question? At least try to answer. Remember, I have stopped arguing and want to be instructed by you, Oh Great Viking of Boundless Intellect.
You too owe me an answer. So funny how you disappeared only to re-appear with a brand spanking new line. LOL.
Am not Muslim and don't bring religion into this. Its dangerous.
Having courage issues too?
On the subject of asking questions, one comes to mind...
Ok, so you are not muslim, but are you a resentful immigrant (I say that because you sound very resentful), son of immigrants or a born Swede from many generations of Swedes??
None of the above! Do I need to be one of those? Is it some kind of condition or are you just trying figure me out ?
Am just a visitor passing through, dude. Now, let me see, RESENTMENT is a feeling of deep and bitter anger and ill-will. Hmm, nah. But then, may I am. Who knows. . .
@ viking.warrior.
Nice stats. Again, I agree with you, dude. These people from Somali and the Middle East are not good. Now what I want from you is HOW you are going to get rid of these RAPING pests that are already among you? And then HOW to ensure that they don't come in anymore. You must have thought of a METHOD, a system that can apply to Sweden and then may be export to the rest of Europe.
The only recent historical references I have are the Boers Apartheid System in South Africa and Hitler's Campaign. But those are kind of infamous and HELL NO, YOU ARE NOT like those people. So that means you must have some nice million krona solution. Am sitting here waiting to about this FINAL SOLUTION.
Thank you for answering my question. Perhaps you can answer one more.
Is there anything positive that you see in Sweden and Swedes, any merits to the country and its people at all?
@DreEstwd - You are an empty coward who didn't have anything to say a while ago and now you happily paroting Viking Warriors words. I think you should just keep quiet.
@.viking.warrior
Now we are talking. You actually used the word "non-white". Good to see you are getting confortable with these terms.No more claims about me shoving that term in your mouth. And I really hope that is the last time you're spewing those stats at me. How many times am I going to tell you what I think about them? Anyway, the main points of your Final Solution:
1.End immigration of non-whites.
2.Deport all non-whites currently in Sweden and the rest of Europe.
Some more points garnered from your seminal ideas and observations:
(i) the current leadership of the whole of Europe is foolish (they lack common sense).
(ii) the whole of Europe is ruled by these foolish Marxist despots and the people are . . .what's the word for people who can't speak for themselves? cowards?
You know, you are really brilliant, dude. These are Nobel Peace Prize worthy ideas. And they are workable too. And practical.
Now am done picking your brain. Wish you all the best.
I shook the guys hand and said I would buy it. I told him I just had to go to the bank for the paperwork and he said he would have to go back and talk with his boss.
He came back and said they have decided to sell it to someone else. They never gave me a chance to outbid the other guy and then to add insult to insult they asked me if I even had the right to buy land in Sweden.
I am really angry about this. I do feel like I was discriminated against as a foreigner. At that point in time I had already lived in Sweden for 5 years, had a full time and permanent job. I feel I was wronged and lost the chance to buy the gård. Not fair! The Swedish Forest Company SUCKS!!!
Speak plainly. No need to put everything in such complicated terms. And the stats!
There are some parallels between your call for the purging of Europe from all non-whites to Hitler's campaign to get rid of all non-Aryans from Europe. Its foolish to deny it. Its wiser to admit it and point out the differences. Hitler had no real reason to do it (it seems), but you have all the right ones. And if this brilliant plan of yours is to succeed, you need to understand why Hitler's (a man far better at this business than you) campaign falied. Furthermore, half measures won't do. You have to make sure all non-whites without exception are purged from Sweden first. This will serve as a model for all the world to see and then the rest of Europe will be next. So you need to prepare and there is so much you need to do. There are cases like non-whites who are already holding Swedish passports, how to deal with them? If you allow them to stay, then they'll breed and get you back to square one. Then there is also mixed race cases (like Elin's children). Some marriages will need to be annulled. Then you also need to put up laws for those who will shelter (hide) non-whites. These must be severely punished.
These are just a sample of administrative issues you will need to take care of. But since the Swedish people are already on your side (they loathe non-whites), it won't be a problem to take control of government and quickly start the legislative process. I also recomment you immediately hold a conference to plan how to deal with these masses of non-whites. There will be need to setup temporal "shelters" once they are rounded up and extracted. Then transportation will also need to be planned for. I recommend trains. And then ships. Its cheaper. And those who refuse to move, shoot them or find some other more convenient way of "disposing" of them.
@ .viking.warrior.
Am giving you realistic advice for free and you are scared to read them? You will only have yourself to blame if this plan of yours just perishes with you.
As for the stats, well, knock yourself out! Its your time and energy. You're probably snowed in and don't have anything better to do, anyway.
My prediction is that you will have more and more of those reports from all over Europe and all you're doing is whine about it here. Every day. Every hour. Pulling your hair. Don't you see that you are not achieving anything? Meanwhile, your real enemies - the non-whites - are pouring in by the hour.
You aim is clear enough - to raise hatred for non-whites - but your methods are weak. You post report after report trying to show that some races - non-whites of course - are responsible the for greater share of crimes committed in white Europe. Your aim is based on raising hatred for these races. And yet you refuse to be called racist. A Nazi. That is childish. My aim, which i think i have achieved to some extent - is simply to prove that the average Swede is a racist coward like you. I had rather that - after proving that the is clear link between crime and these inferior races - you would without any shame whatsoever proceed to say you are for that reason a racist and you love Nazi principles that sough to maintain to the purity of the Aryan race. If only would stop pretending. . .
An interesting stat to use as it can read for every 7 crimes committed in victoria 6 where committed by australians and 1 by people born overseas, three quarters of rape are committed by australians and 4 out of 5 murders are committed by australians as well.
Be careful with how you use statistics they can be used to weaken arguments when your hoping to strengthen them.
Nobody has a problem with the swedish trying to keep hold of your culture and history, thats what attracts people to your country and it will never be lost no matter who lives there.
But Xenophobia has no place in the Swedish society. Just like muslimophobia just because you dont understand or know them it doesnt make them a threat. Yes what happened to the twin towers was bad and an extremist who quite clearly doesnt like the US was at play but before that, the largest terrorist act in US was done by Timothy Mcveigh an ex Gulf war vet. Does that then we mean we can marginalise and be suspicious of all soldiers in the country Just in case!
People in general can only integrate into a society where they feel respect and trust can be gained, if from the outset your defensive they will be defensive too.
Thanks for your offer of help but as a statistics graduate i will politely decline your offer.
Now a re-cast of my previous post to VW since I made so many mistakes in the last one (I was sleepy. lol ).
@ .viking.warrior.
You post report after report trying to show that some races - non-whites of course - are responsible for greater share of crimes committed in white Europe and the disburbance of the white-way of life.. Your solution to this problem is this: purge Europe of all non-whites. Deport all of them and bar them from entering Europe. All of them. As long as they are part of these races. They are all the same.
This is what your message amounts to. And yet you repeatedly refuse to accept the obvious fact that that is precisely what Hitler tried to do when, according to him, he identified a similar problem. Jews were disrupting and poluting the Aryan race in Europe. After proving that there is a clear link between crime, bad culture, etc and these "inferior" races and that everyone of them is like that, you should ( without any shame and openly) proceed to say you are for that reason proposing a method to solve this problem based on separating or cleansing the white race from these polutants. Admit that and I will say you are courageous, bold Skin-Head. Later, we can discuss how that means you are a neo-nazi.
If after identifying the problem and its source, you proposed a different solution (like others have done), then I wouldn't say you're a scared-to-be-discovered Nazi who is just using this as an excuse to vent his/her hate for non-whites.
