That's why Mars and the Moon, bitchez.
They don't care if French workers pay the high rents, or the government pays it on behalf of refugees
Another issue is that left parties are no longer interested in actual workers
seem to want to destroy the whole fucking thing - so long as it happens after they die.

Exactly, that's we continue to grow.
We won't stop at 500 millions.
HeadSet saysThe idea that a population must continuously grow is absurd on its face
Is it?
How many examples of economies do we have that have stagnated without becoming conformist, sclerotic and eventually dying? How many organisms in nature stop growing and continue to do well for long?
Have you read the book "Scale"?
The decision to import Muslims was the direct result of declining/insufficient French population. Japan has been mired in depression for nearly 3 decades now due to the demographic decline.
I was clearly talking about limiting population within the geographical boundaries of the USA, not the universe. If humankind can find (or terraform) inhabitable spots in outer space, I say go for it.
Japan remains quite rich, safe, and stable. The reason is mainly that almost everyone there is Japanese.

Or if you're really paranoid (an maybe I am) you might see the mass import of distinctly foreign people as a way to break the solidarity of the population and thus make them easier to rule. Divide and conquer.
Well we don't have the technology to survive space radiations or even low gravity. We're as good as stuck here.
if any of us is transported by a time machine back to the1950's, we'd find the life miserable: no internet, no cell phones, not even color TV! Car crashes could easily kill you!No we wouldn't because we don't miss what we've never had. We don't miss today the marvels people may have 50 years from now. People in their 50's in the 50's, as my parents were, had seen nothing but a steady line of improvement their entire lives. New houses built in the 1950's with their built-ins and central heat and air are still usable today with proper maintenance. Compared to what had existed even just ten years earlier was so far advanced as to not be comparable. Comparing the 50's home to one 50 years earlier, 1905, the same difference between the 60's and today, with its wood stove, gas lighting or very rudimentary electric lighting, no radio or TV, probably no telephone, no refrigeration for food, limited sanitary conditions was like comparing life in the 50's to the 19th century. That generation saw more progress than any in human history. The Internet would be roughly equivalent to radio (1920) for my parents' generation and TV (1946) for the World War II generation.

Of course, if you were in Senegal, you could be silenced from claiming that Christianity is just as good as Islam. Would that make you believe in the superiority of Islam?

Due to that reason, historically immigrants with low living standard expectations and willing to work hard for a relative pittance in pay tended to benefit their new host country. Whereas today's Middle East immigrants looking forward to receiving welfare while not "taking any jobs" from the native population are actually far worse! What a lot of people don't understand is that: willing to do a job for less actually creates jobs (just like technology, because the money consumers save can be spent on new real economic demand) whereas welfare that has to be paid by taxes actually cost far more jobs!

Out of that entire post, this is the only point that you seem to have against my original post that Senegal gives us a view into how Islam doesn't automatically mean radicalism. And it's wrong. You don't understand the culture there, obviously, or you would never make such blanket, racist statements.
I'm not a Muslim apologist by any means, but I will react against the bullshit of you and others who seek to label an entire populace without ever knowing a Muslim yourself. You've never been to Senegal, and you don't know dick about Islam except that you hate it. If I don't bow to your brown fear I think independent, rational people will understand.
And it doesn't matter if it's McCarthyism, Terrorism, The War on Us, or Global Warming. You fear-mongers are all the same. Extreme in your view, without the slightest pause to understand your subject matter other than to hate and fear it, and everyone who doesn't cow-tow to your racist, elitist, superfluous bullshit.
The fact that you try to pull in completely unrelated arguments from other threads, shows you don't have shit. You wanna cry about my whipping your ass over your bulldog fallacies, do it in the right thread, bitch.

Muslims have now set up unofficial checkpoints in various parts of Marseille.
Muslims had attacked the port city in the 9th century capturing it and enslaving its native inhabitants. That which Muslims once took, their theologians insist is theirs in perpetuity. The Muslim return to Marseille is seen as a reconquista, a return to the land that was once theirs.
Nearly half of all immigrants to France are Muslim. In Marseille 41.8 percent of those under 18 were of foreign descent.
La Marseillaise, France’s National Anthem, got its name when volunteer revolutionaries from Marseille sang the song. Now Marseille is at the center of a new revolution. The Islamic Revolution. Muslim volunteers from France have been identified training with the Taliban and after Mohammed Merah’s massacre at a Jewish school, a group of Jews in Marseille were attacked by Muslim men shouting, “Vive Mohamed Merah, F— the Jews, Palestine will win.”
Article is from 2014, I am sure it's worse now!!!
