Also, I'll point out that Islamophobes favourite Middle Eastern country (Israel) allows sharia law. And has plenty of goats.

So, you know, ban Israelis from coming to Europe.

For anyone wondering, I joined this website during my edgy teenage years. I made a lot of dumb, awkward posts, flip-flopped between various extreme ideologies, and just generally embarrassed myself. I denounce a sizable amount of my past posts. I am no longer active on NationStates and this nation/account is no longer used.

You can't just tell them to nick off to Israel when they're some of the biggest supporters of what Germany and Sweden are doing, at least the powerful ones of their people.

Person of the Year

Postby Swiss Austria-Hungary » Wed Dec 09, 2015 4:51 pm

This year, Time has declared Angela Merkal, the current chancellor of Germany, as the Person of the Year.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35048796

And moderators, I believe that this is the right type of subform for this.
Allies: The Salvatagard Republic, New Iceodine, The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp, Soviet West Germany, the Soviet Russian Royal Empire, the United Soviet Socialist Aligned States, the Salvatagard Republic's former colonies, and Boetzelaer
Total troops combined is estimated at 2 billion.

They should only be taking the doctors/engineers other technical professionals and sending the rest back to Syria to be honest.

Because those people should be tossed into mass graves or enslaved. Sounds enlightened.

Honesty goes a long way, so why do you not say what you really want to say and loudly proclaim that those people should be dead?

I didn't know that the woman who brought in a bunch of people that will give no good to Europe should be the Time's person of the year. Her actions have yet to play out. Maybe they will be good, maybe they won't. But then again, some aspects have already been disastrous. After Sweden's massive immigration, the rape rate has increased substantially.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigrati ... ime#Sweden
So Mama Merkel may not be the greatest person in the world of 2015.
Then again, they have a nice love of putting powerful German Chancellors who do disastrous things for Europe as person of the year. (Hitler anybody?)

In my mind, a better person for the person of the year would be Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

It's just the most important person of the year. Not the "best", and I certainly wouldn't call your choice either.

Honestly, that's even worse than taking no one, because the rest will be stuck back in Syria not only in a civil war environment, and all the doctors, engineers, and techs will be gone.

Because that's what you want to do when you have a crisis situation: remove all the doctors.

New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.
