Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostWell no, but it seems that if you make it difficult to immigrate legally, people then just immigrate illegally or through the asylum system. That´s partly because selling your arse for crack on the streets of London, Paris or Amsterdam is probably a more attractive proposition than trying to eek out a living in Darfur or Chechnya or living as a gypsy in eastern Europe and getting beaten up by skinhead policemen all the time.Comment

Berlin is full of decent sized but empty flats.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
