Lots of children and families in this video, yet the less edited real refugee videos show clearly the 79% young military age male skew in the ratios. Let's use our combined power to create a safe zone in Syria or Jordon or Saudi Arabia or Qatar or Iran or Iraq or Turkey, until the end of this war among Muslims.

[@jankomobes5560]

+CHAS1422 I like the idea about a safe zone, would be far easier for potential refugees to get shelter there. But I see some problems, that are: - You have to keep them safe in these regions, there is always the possibilty that some kind of crazy group will attack the camp - There has to be some sort of way to get supplies into those 'safe zones', thinking about how big the numbers of people in there are, thos transports have to be guarded heavily from where they come till the camp (otherwise some groups might decide and attack them to gain more ressources) - What should the refugees do in their free time? I think they have to have at least some things to do daily or else they might get bored, and boredom is a great factor in fights between people... So worst case one ethnic in those camps decides to attack another... And it ends bloody... From the train of thought I like your idea, but I think that there are certain points that have to be planned into detail (I listed those above). Don't know if it would really pay off in the end, I suspect that they would become something like ghettos...

[@abzshaker]

@@jankomobes5560 safe zones are never safe...if the UN or anyone else leaves, there is no guarantee that they wont bomb the safe zones. This happened in Sri Lanka civil war where the government set up a Safe zone for the tamil minority civilians, and when the UN left they bombed it and killed more than 100000

On her way from work one morning Down the path along side the lake A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake "Take me in oh tender woman Take me in, for heaven's sake Take me in oh tender woman, " sighed the dying snake Now she clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried "But if I hadn't brought you in, by now you might have died" Now she stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight But instead of saying thank you, the snake gave her a vicious bite "I saved you," cried the woman "And you've bit me heavens, why? You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die" "Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin "You knew damn well I was a snake, before you took me in"

The problem is not the families and children from war torn Syria. It's that the refugees currently consist of 70% economic refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Somalia, Morocco, etc who are young men looking for work and they won't find it in Greece which has 25% unemployment. Meanwhile the EU has closed its borders and the US which created ISIS by destroying Iraq and is behind most of the wars that caused this hardship is not helping one bit, apart from criticizing and making dramatic self-loving movies about how much they hurt inside. Instead, it's electing someone the whole world considers a clown, so it can isolate itself further, lobbing bombs at everyone from behind a big wall.

Whom Can We Trust If No One Is Trustworthy? One of my favorite quips from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is defined as “a glittering hero…the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” and there were “some that believed that he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.” With these few words, Twain captured the essence of leadership in our world. Those who get to the top are the fiercest, most determined, and most ruthless. Today, the latter quality has become so intense that we can no longer believe our leaders, and certainly not trust them to have our best interest in mind. I am not accusing any leader in particular, or even leaders as a whole. It is simply that in an egoistic world, where people vie to topple one another on their way to the top, the one at the top is clearly the one who trampled over and knocked down more people than anyone else. Concisely, to get to the top in an egoistic world you have to be the biggest egoist. So how do we know whom to trust? We don’t know and we cannot know. All we know is that we are in the dark. In a culture of unhinged selfishness, any conspiracy theory seems reasonable, while truth is nowhere to be found. When every person who says or writes something is trying to promote some hidden agenda, you have no way of knowing who is right, what really happened, or if anything happened at all. The only way to get some clarity in the news and goodwill from our leaders is to say “Enough!” to our current system and build something entirely independent. The guiding principle of such a system should be “information only,” no commentary. Commentary means that information has already been skewed. Information means saying only what happened, as much as possible, not why, and not who is to blame and who we should praise. Concurrently, we must begin a comprehensive process of self-teaching. We have to know not only what is happening, but why we skew and distort everything. In other words, we have to know about human nature and how it inherently presents matters according to its own subjective view, which caters to one’s own interest. To “clear” ourselves from that deformity, we must learn how to rise above our personal interest and develop an equally favorable attitude toward others. This is our only guarantee that our interpretation of things will be even and correct. Once we achieve such an attitude, we will discover that the bad things we see in our world reflect our own, internal wickedness. Our ill-will toward others creates a world where ill-will governs, and so the world is filled with wickedness and cruelty. Therefore, all we need in order to create positive leadership-and to generally eliminate ill-will from the world-is to generate goodwill within us. When we nurture goodwill toward others, we will fill the world with goodwill. As a result, the world will fill with kindness and compassion. By changing ourselves, we will create a world that is opposite from the world we have created through our desires to govern, patronize, and often destroy other people.
