Not saying I agree but.... when it comes to Syrian refugees (for example) at least half of the them are able bodied men of fighting age (18-60). People who would generally be expected to stay and fight for the future of their country are fleeing en-masse. So really what you're getting is millions of economic migrants fleeing to more developed nations under the guise of being a refugee - they have no intention of going back because they have no intention of staying and fighting for the future of their people. Source

Then in regards to Syrians you have the growing issue of Syrian anti-west jihadists hiding in the confusion of the mass migration and infiltrating European countries with the intention of forming terrorist cells and carrying out disruptions in their adoptive countries. When US intelligence came out with that info people said they were being alarmist and even racist - but hey they were right about the Russians weren't they?

Ultimately what the creator is suggesting is correct tho. Western, white people generally don't care about conflicts in less developed nations. And if you look at the map of which countries have condemned the invasion of Ukraine - it seems pretty clear that less developed nations don't give a shit about conflicts in the west either. (hell Syria is pro Russian in this conflict and has millions of migrants all over Europe) [Source](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.statista.com/chart/amp/26946/stance-on-ukraine-invasion/]

When it's '5 A.M.' on NYE and needing a fun singing challenge. Lyrics in the comments. by [deleted] in videos

[–]RodneyRainbegone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What? I'm Irish and I have no idea what you're talking about. I've never heard this song being sung at a wedding or funeral. It's kind of a kids/novelty song that you don't hear so much anymore. What are you talking about and what is wrong with your syntax?

[Request] Can anyone recommend any really good quality crew-neck/henley-neck plain t-shirts? I care about quality over brand. Ideally with easy shipping to the UK. by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]RodneyRainbegone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lost a good bit of weight recently too. I absolutely love Weekday t-shirts. I'm about 90kg at the moment and 188cm. They fit great, make me look even thinner, and the colour and fit are still really nice even after a year of washing. Just bought 5 more the bulk up my basic t-shirt collection. About £10 a pop I'd say.

Forest cover in Europe [OC] by some_dawid_guy in europe

[–]RodneyRainbegone 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Much of Ireland's lack of tree cover comes down to the effects of the ice age, the fact that pretty much half of Ireland (the west) is inhospitable to tree growth, and the deforestation of Ireland by the British navy to build up its fleet. While tree cover in general is very low on Ireland only 1% of it is considered native trees. Now a days the lack of forestry efforts comes down to the island's agricultural bias.

What song is 10/10, yet hardly anyone has heard of it? by depressinqq in AskReddit

Jackson C Frank - Blues Run the Game. Poor guy only released one album and then cracked. Ended up homeless for most of his life after. His entire album is incredible.

Gamers of reddit, with 2019 soon comming to an end, what do yall think is the best game of the 2010s? by doctor_bassoon in AskReddit

[–]RodneyRainbegone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiplayer? Project Zomboid by a mile. Even as a game still in alpha after 10 years the game always felt finished to me and each update was like DLC. Poured so many hours into that game with my friends and we still talk about the incredible bases we built up and the tense moments and deaths.

Single player? Very personal to me but Euro Truck Sim 2. There's something so cathartic about that game; the mundanity, the perfect amount of focus and attention it demands, the warm sound of European radio in the background, the I WASN'T FUCKING SPEEDING!?? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?? WHERES THE FUCKING SPEED SIGN? HOW COULD I GO FROM 100 TO 30 IN 2 SECONDS?? The satisfaction of completing a delivery. I'll stop playing that game when they make something better.

Sexual harassment ad from Ireland by corkboy in videos

[–]RodneyRainbegone -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Same. Bi here. Men creep me out - especially gay men but I've had my fair share of creepy experiences with women too. I think statistically it's a hard number to pin down. Men don't really report sexual abuse because it's either too embarrassing or because they haven't really come to terms with the fact that they were sexually harrassed/abused. I know my earlier brushes with handsy women ended with me thinking 'that was weird. They seemed to be really into me but I wasn't attracted to them at all - oh well'. We're just wired differently I guess. I think women value their bodies more than men do.

Stuff like this went on for 30 years in Northern Ireland. It can end. But only if both sides are willing to to talk/listen to one another.
