Can you blame them? No. It was famine and poverty here back then. Very much like Irland. |

That was the potato famine in Ireland in 1850. Get your facts straight. 1845 - 1852 with the worst year being 1848. As for being the mother country, incorrect, that would be Italy. It was the Romans that civilised this island. As for HMS Sirius, that transported your riff-raff out of the country & the Mayflower transported English Separatists. Hmm, who did they want to be separated from? |

The potato famine in Ireland enriched us at an horrendous price. I know there is a better way.... |

You never ever give up do you? If it hadn't been for the Mayflower and HMS Sirius, America and Australia wouldn't be what they are today. No, I think that you're the one who does not give up. Again get your facts straight!!! |

Just a note: There is something new and very different, from past collapses. It is Nuclear Weapons. What do those, who have REAL Control of these weapons do, during the collapse? That depends on how much they hate the other side. |

There is also a refugee and displacement crisis in Ukraine. http://uatoday.tv/society/ukraine-refugee-crisis-489825.html While Europe struggles to confront an influx of refugees from outside the european continent Ukraine's refugee crisis has been largely ignored by Western media. Former Swedish PM Carl Bildt took to Twitter to point out there are more Ukrainian refugees now than in the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina 1992-1995. |

I don't think dirty bombs will start mass migrations. A dirty bomb (eng. Dirty bomb) is a weapon that spreads radioactive material and are therefore a radiological weapon. Its explosive force equivalent to conventional weapons, but the ionizing radiation from radioactive substances are dangerous for humans and other living organisms. There are so many other things to be scared off that makes you want to migrate. Civil and hybrid wars, drought or flooding because of climate changes... And this is happening now! |

Now Asia's crowded And Europe's too old. Africa's far too hot, And Canada's too cold. And South America stole our name. Let's drop the big one; there'll be no one left to blame us. http://www.lyricsfreak.com/r/randy+newman/political+science_20114159.html Trump: I Will Absolutely Use A Nuclear Weapon Against ISIS http://realnewsrightnow.com/2015/08/10/trump-i-will-absolutely-use-a-nuclear-weapon-against-isis/ If Trump's statement is true then a LOT more than ISIS and ISIL followers will suffer! |

Some good news. President Barack Obama are requesting that the United States should receive at least 10,000 refugees from Syria in the next year. The move can be seen as a response to criticism that the United States is doing too little in terms of the refugee crisis. Over 62,000 Americans have signed a petition in which they demand that the United States receives at least 65,000 Syrians next year. White House defends the lower number to the US can not provide a safe haven for the millions of people who fled the civil war. |

Fear and Terror, make Peoples/Cultures/Countries do the unimaginable. You keep saying that but where is your proof? When has terror driven us to do the unimaginable? The one time humanity used nukes was not in a situation dictated by fear or terror. And the unimaginable has always been the cause of fear and terror and it has so far been in a response to nothing. And in all cases it was done by politicians. |

Fear and Terror, make Peoples/Cultures/Countries do the unimaginable. So you agree, politicians are not to be trusted :-) |

That was a bit too much Clyde. Does Napalm, Agent Orange & Willie Pete ring a bell with you? |

They say a picture's worth a thousand words: Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

On a thread regarding youth, I find it ironic that youth suffering wins prizes for others. Maybe it ought to be in that thread as well. |

That was a bit too much Clyde. Does Napalm, Agent Orange & Willie Pete ring a bell with you? As a matter of fact - Yes. However, all nations have done despicable things in their history. As can be seen today, nothing changes but the methods. |

No, the "dark side" is the constant R&D in weaponry for "improving" the kill ratio with lesser cost in casualties. |

I forecast that the picture of that little boy, Aylan Kurdi, a drowned refugee, will also win a prize. So do I. And this is happening NOW in 2015. btw The world press has got his name a bit wrong from the beginning. His name is Alan Kurdi. More easy to remember. Alan from Kurdistan. Biji Kurdistan! |

The British continued. Even after the War was Won. It seems the dirty work was done by the RAF, the USAAF seems to have been busy with railroads and such. The first of the British aircraft took off at around 17:20 hours CET for the 700-mile (1,100 km) journey.[a] This was a group of Lancasters from Bomber Command's 83 Squadron, No. 5 Group, acting as the Pathfinders, or flare force, whose job it was to find Dresden and drop magnesium parachute flares, known to the Germans as "Christmas trees", to light up the area for the bombers. The next set of aircraft to leave England were twin-engined Mosquito marker planes, which would identify target areas and drop 1,000-pound target indicators (TIs)" that created a red glow for the bombers to aim at. The attack was to centre on the Ostragehege sports stadium, next to the city's medieval Altstadt (old town), with its congested, and highly combustible timbered buildings. |

The Battle of Hamburg, codenamed Operation Gomorrah, was a campaign of air raids beginning 24 July 1943 and lasting for 8 days and 7 nights. It was at the time the heaviest assault in the history of aerial warfare and was later called the Hiroshima of Germany by British officials. The operation was conducted by RAF Bomber Command (including RCAF and RAAF Squadrons) and the USAAF Eighth Air Force. The British conducted night raids and the USAAF daylight raids. In January 1946, Major Cortez F. Enloe, a surgeon in the USAAF who worked on the United States Strategic Bombing Survey (USSBS), said that the fire effects of the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki "were not nearly as bad as the effects of the R.A.F. raids on Hamburg on July 27th 1943". He estimated more than 40,000 people died in Hamburg. But why talk about things that happened more then 70 years ago? |

And Canada's too cold. But it's a dry cold! |
