I recall you being very keen on that approach when the Iraq situation erupted.

Scooter now realises one of the world's oldest developed civilisations has something to offer.
Key thing is that they were turning a blind eye to murder.
A turning point to me was 30 years ago when I talked to 3 guys from Iraq. They mentioned how they knew about the murder & torture, they just kept their heads down because he didn't bother them.
Iraq, Syria & Afghanistan were all the same if we hadn't done something it would have continued. More of the less beautiful people would have died horribly.
Of course we turned a blind eye as well because we put the nutters in power because the alternative was worse.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

So you've met a white, middle class Syrian and that makes her more deserving of our help than those poor blacks that you thought made up the population? Of course the blacks didn't have so far to fall did they, so it's had less impact on them?Comment

To most reasonable people their varying skin tone is a non-issue, that's just projection on your part. Having said that, most are darker than the average Irish chick, but you've found an outlier that promotes your world view, bravo.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Parents were Syrians.Originally posted by scooterscot View PostI felt ashamed of the stereotype that made its home in my head. Utterly so. After chatting more with her, my shame only grew. The life she spoke of before could have been any UK city. UK media has only led me to believe in uneducated, non monied individuals.The Chunt of Chunts.Comment
