There are no significant problems though?

A culture clash maybe, but the United States has many problems. They are not all the immigrants fault, though immigration makes an easy scapegoat. Every single person in my country is an immigrant (save maybe 20,000 native inhabitants). In fact the biggest immigration problem in my country ever was European colonization, and White American Manifest Destiny. Are there bad immigrants, yes; but we shouldn’t let the bad overlook the good (in this case at least).

I’d still say the same about Europe. Do immigrate bring issues? Yes, but a lot of these issues existed before, but there’s someone really easy to blame it on. If the problems are drugs, gangs, and such. Those can be harder problems to deal with, but they can be solved by good policing, and healthy childhood, and an education. It is not impossible to co-exist with someone of a different culture, hell, we do it every time we log onto these website. Do we have cultural differences? Yes, but we have been able to work around those, and at points come to a common understanding.

Pretty interesting analysis of Euro parlament elections voting by age 

 

I’m telling you, the western generation growing up right now is progressive, and in many cases showing socialistic attitudes. It was almost the exact same graphics in the US Midterm elections.

A lot of the problems are 'small' things like certain malls being turned into places one might prefer not going, or bus lines (mostly around those places where refugees are kept and of which the English term has apparently slipped out of my mind) seeing violent people so often, drivers simply started refusing to go there and schools told parents to bring their kids (especially girls) by car instead of letting them take the bus, because the risks are just too high.

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
