Syrian refugees in my gym...

I just heard that the gym where I play basketball four times a week will be used to house Syrian refugees.
 (not my actual gym but this is what it will be like next week)
No basketball for me...
#firstworldproblems #fml
Honestly though, a third of the large office buildings in Amsterdam South East is vacant. Why not stash them there? They'll even have privacy...
Discuss.

Cause the City of Amsterdam owns the sports place and the office buildings are privately owned?

I know little of what's happening with the refugees coming into Europe right now, but I'd be pissed off like you if I couldn't play because of the issue.
How I relate to this is by the thousands of Cuban migrants that wash onto the beaches in the area of the country I live every year. They are immediately given an American citizenship as long as they put one foot on the ground (sand). Anyways, for the most part, they are fucking up the local economy. They haven't ruined basketball for me yet. When that day happens, I may just write a strongly worded letter to Raul Castro.

Yeah I know... But damn these offices have been empty for years. They don't even bother with temporary residency (antikraak) even though there is such a shortage. 
These corporations man I'm telling you, bastards. Listing the values of these office buildings at 4-5 times the value at which they bought it in their administration. The building is a shit storm from the '80s and is worth significantly less in todays market. Demolishing it only costs money. Selling it means taking your loss. Nobody wants to rent it either and adapting for housing is too costly because of all the safety requirements. Appearently a place can be safe enough to work in but not safe enough to live in...
They say the crisis aid in my gym will be for a maximum of 72 hours. I have a hard time believing it. Where will they go after? Everything is full or privately owned

It can be, but it can also be disastrous to the countries that get invaded. It's impossible to save "human kind" every time a crisis develops.

In Finland these "refugees" made a statement that they won't eat the food they are given for free because it is shit in ther opinion. the joke is they are served the same food as in, kindergardens, schools, old people's homes, hospitals and in jails. Some of those "victims" have even stopped eating to boost they demands of more free everything.

There is exactly same thing happening 3 kilometres from my home atm. Finnish goverment is even making new laws that put these Imigrants on the top of every fucking list like: Housing, govermental jobs...etc.

He's not being tossed to the curb. He can't play basketball temporarily. I bet there's other gyms he could play basketball at though, and he's failed to mention that part. These people are trying to get out of a war torn country so they don't have to watch their family and children die in front of them, or them die and have their children watch it.

There is an incredible shortage of sport facilities so no, I can't just go and play basketball somewhere else. I pay 480 euro's a year to play. I also pay tax I play competition and even my refs for games are paid. So no, I can't just play outside in the rain somewhere. It's autumn fool.
Anyways...
I don't mind my government letting in Syrian refugees. I don't mind not playing basketball for 72 hours.
What I do find really hard is that I am in no position to judge the motives of these refugees. I guess it would be good to go and have a talk with them when they are there.
I recently came across this comic: (If it's not accurate at least its pretty!)













I'm sure it's one of those problems that's a lot more imtricate and complex than any singular opinion expressed in this thread.

If that happened I too would agree it's fucked.
If they end up staying a lot longer than 72 hours in your local gym, I too would think that is fucked.
Also, I live in Canada. And I know what autumn is. That's why I never mentioned playing outside

Not that I know of. But we don't have media like you guys that milk every murder and rape story. If someone gets shot you are lucky to hear anything about it in the media. Unless its like a child or a political/public figure or something.

Interesting point with the comics - I think it could also be said that for the amount of resources available to the land - Syria was vastly overpopulated and any powerful drought, and droughts do happen, climate change or no... especially in such an absurdly dry country, is sure to cause a lot of tumult... I mean jesus, does it look like there's enough arable land to feed/water 23 million people there?

I see water, no it's just sand, sorry. Thatcomic was enlightening, but a concrete reason sparking this hell for Syria doesn't make tjem any less part of a death cult. Leavimg theor homes because ofwar wont makethem change faith for the mostpart, unless Sam Harros greets every single one and discisses the merits of islam and secular values. It's so scary for Europe, and by extention the world since we hold some ok values. If we didn't tjen we wouldn't be commitong cultural suicide by being amazingly kind.

That is only for Cubans and it is totally for political anticommunist thumb in the eye reasons. They still get to pursue the same path as any legal immigrant but the distinction is that they are immediately granted legal status regardless of they got here.

Lol at trying to blame the Syrian civil war on a drought. Syria became unhinged because of radicals and people who oppose Assad. I'm sure if they had a real humanitarian problem with the drought they could have just gotten aid. Instead they start a civil war? doesn't make sense. If you can barely survive you aren't going to wage a war. That's not how war works because you need like food and water and supplies to keep your army going.

Obviously it's not all because of a drought - no one was saying that. The drought however fomented a much more desperate atmosphere in the country and put people into direct confrontation with the government actively making peoples lives more difficult instead of trying to allay their problems.

Obviously it's not all because of a drought - no one was saying that. The drought however fomented a much more desperate atmosphere in the country and put people into direct confrontation with the government actively making peoples lives more difficult instead of trying to allay their problems.
They started a war because their leaders were hogging everything and leaving the populace to wallow in shit. He is also a murdering thug but the chance that somebody not a murdering thug will ever rule there is just about zero.

The Syrian crisis followed over a decade of drought, and the Euphrates river, the principle fresh water supply in Syria, running dry. The rural poor are driven to destitution as crops fail, and migrate into cities (IE: economic safehavens that can actually afford to import fresh water and food) by the millions. Most of them end up unemployed and living in miserable conditions. Thus you get millions of very, very angry people driven to desperate measures by hunger or thirst all slowly destabilizing the cities until they explode into whirlwind of carnage and brutality. Chances are we're gonna be seeing a lot of this over the next couple decades when the rest of the Middle East's water supplies start drying up.
Sudan's desertification is progressing rapidly. Iran's had a water crisis going on for quite awhile now. The Nile doesn't reach the sea sometimes...and if the Nile dries up then Egypt is going to erupt into a hellish uprising that makes the last one look like children fighting over a toy. Bangladesh...well when you have 160 million people running out of food and water there's gonna be a massive bloodbath or exodus. Even Pakistan and northern India are starting to face water issues.
@ all the brainwashed people in here saying it's because Muslims are inherently savage.

How does Bangladesh have a water crisis tho? Their whole country is like a river delta - though I'm sure much of it is very dirty in its natural state.

They have oil. They can fucking buy enough food.
Syria is a minor oil producer.

Nah. Bangladesh doesn't have a water crisis atm, thats more of a long term climate change concern. The right mix of their already horrific typhoons/floods/earthquakes/etc, rising sea levels, and a failing government could cause a pretty nasty food/clean water/homelessness crisis though. Especially given their obscene population density. It's a powderkeg just waiting to go off.

'They'? As in...the Syrian people? I like how you're pretending that the average Syrian has even the slightest chance of forcing the ruling regime to hand over their wealth. Good luck trying to win against a trained military with the latest in firearms and explosives with a band of half starved peasants with 40 year old Kalashnikovs and pipe bombs.

So it's okay to say it about anyone other than Muslims?
Also, Muslims aren't a race. Never have been.
There's White Muslims, Black Muslims (lots of black Muslims) and Arab Muslims 
Hell, I'm sure there's an Asian Muslim hidin' somewhere.

If you kids can't play nice this is going to to the town dump, it's up to you to have a civil conversation but if flagged messages keep rolling in I don't have time for this shit.
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Well, that's the thing. As long as they're not Muslims, the Mods let people say whatever they want about any religion.
