It leads to the endless slap fest of "ur racist" "nuh uh!" "lol ur a troll racist" "nuh uh", which could, and IMHO should, be contained to its own thread. There are other things happening in Europe than the EMERGING CALIPHATE, but they get drowned under the racism-notracism white noise.

Which you guys are really good at. I'm not a racist, but I get called so multiple times. Seriously people, you have no loving clue what you're doing yourselves. I'm presenting facts, you shout I'm a racist. Then you whine that it devolves into racist/not racist discussion. See that? No? loving hell..

Me too. I loving loathe it. But apparently it's between two options. Either you love the muslims or you hate them. I don't belong into either of those camps. You cannot take untold numbers of refugees into Europe, that's a fact. But you should help those that you can, no doubt. I'm just not sold on the idea that I cannot critisize islam for its wrongdoings because that's racist. I loving loathe the crusades just as much as I do the current terrorist attacks and ISIS etc. But I'm still a racist because there's no way islam has caused any wrongdoing in the world. Which is not true. gently caress religion honestly. But yeah, I stand by my words. Except that the fertility rate I said is probably overblown. It's still higher than the indigenous populations, so in due time things will change.

Well if the religion condones acts of violence against women or gays or thieves etc. then I can criticize the concept. People take up on that concept and commit acts by it's ideologues. Should I blame the individual or the concept? Huh?

and by the way most Muslims in Europe are in countries with medium (~1.8, UK, Scanda and Low Countries) or high (~2, France) native birthrates. Muslims in France don't have more kids than French people

If that is so then I'm relieved. Yeah, I got that 8 fertility rate from a stupid video and I should be mocked for that, but the fact still stands that muslims outbreed europeans. If you add to that pile all the refugees Europe takes in and (presumably) grants citizenship, the numbers are going to change. If not, then no problem. I'm just worried for the current state of affairs, you cannot say that Europe isn't getting hosed by all the terrorism and potential violence. I mean, here in Finland the immigrants have 17- fold chance to commit rape compared to the native population. That tells you something. And it's not good. I'm not a racist for loving acknowleding that.

It's like you understand the theory behind why these laws lower unemployment but you're just too stubborn to accept it. As for unemployment "exploding" in the future, these laws don't act as a stabilizer, they act as a break. Yes more people will lose their jobs in bad times, but without flexible labor markets many of them won't have a job during good times either.

Employment protection laws function as a brake on firing as well as on hiring. This is why they slow down unemployment increases during crises. The explosion in unemployment in Spain after the bubble burst at first occurred almost entirely among workers with flexible contracts. With the employment law in place prior to the 2012 reform, Spain reached a 7% unemployment rate prior to the crisis, and this was after attracting 4 million immigrants into the Spanish labour market. And of course the real rate would have been lower, given the large shadow economy. This suggests that the impact of labour law on unemployment is overstated. Stronger employment protection appears to be associated with higher youth unemployment and higher long-term unemployment, but not with higher overall unemployment. The impact is on the distribution of unemployment and not its overall level

Geriatric Pirate posted:

As for "no solutions", you're making it seem like the situation in Spain is not improving, even though GDP is growing again and unemployment is down 6 percentage points. Yes it's slow but clearly something is happening. I really don't know about optimal investment in education or higher unemployment benefits (obviously it makes sense to invest, but whether it makes sense to invest x amount now is different), this was about job security related legislation which is zero investment policy that trades off decreased unemployment with worker preferences for security.

Don't forget that employment protection does more than just protect the worker. It also allows workers to invest in firm-specific skills, increase human capital, and [in the private sector] makes them more loyal and productive. Perhaps most importantly, most of the Mediterranean economies have functioned on the basis of the male breadwinner model, where a single income had to provide for the whole family. These economies generally do not have extensive coverage for unemployment benefits (youths tend not to qualify for unemploymentt benefits in any of the GIPS) or welfare benefits. So employment protection laws function as a substitute for welfare benefits. This means that if you liberalize them during an economic crisis, you're affecting not just the workers but also their households. This also means that you magnify the economic and unemployment consequences of the crisis.

Reminder that SYRIZA led Greece is still prosecuting the former head of ELSTAT for aligning Greek debt figures with European standards.

I agree that this is completely disgraceful and a sign of how broken the Greek political system is.

I'm not islamophobic. And I support Palestine, the jews have no business invading and bombing their people to smithereens and taking their land. American's don't seem to mind, tho. American's coincidentally are the ones behind the current refugee crisis, but let's leave that for another time. Funny how you still call me islamophobistic, even after I said I value every person on their merit, not on their skin color or anything else. But religion sucks, I'll tell you that much. Still, I'm a racist and islamophobic. Yeah, I'm islamophobic of an islamic dude raping a white girl because she didn't loving wear a burka. You loving idiot.

They can blame the terrorists and USA for bombing their homelands to poo poo. It's not Europe's loving fault. Europe has been more than accomodating. Don't see many refugees go to the USA do you? Or other middle-eastern countries for that matter. Everyone goes to Europe, and then when europeans don't like it we're loving racists. Yeah right.

Oh yeah, after multiple terrorist attacks we're so loving racist meanwhile America started a loving war (still hasn't ended) because they got attacked once. Yeah... Who's the savage again? Because without America bombing the poo poo out of the middle east and causing disruption none of this would have happened. But yeah, europeans are loving racist. gently caress you. So hard.

Yeah it's gonna be great! Rape is so loving good, and Islam is the icing on the cake. Pretty soon I'll have a loving harem, right? And if I bomb a nonbeliever, I'll get 72 virgins in heaven. Give me that. Or maybe, religion will die out. I doubt that. Considering how loving stupid the majority of the people are. I wouldn't be surprised if Saudi Arabia was still throwing gays off the roof in 2050. But you obviously love that. loving hell :D

Well, Israel is a 'Jewish State' yes, but casually using 'the jews' like 'the blacks' or 'the gays' is usually an unconscious tic of the reactionary. Besides, not everyone in Israel necessarily identifies primarily as Jewish.
