Integration problems

The concept of "integrating" foreigners to your own society is dead. The majority of foreigners is either unwilling or unable to integrate and there's not much a government can do about this except stop or restrict immigration.

We've seen what the multi-cultural society is leading to: misunderstanding, fear, hatred and ultimately, violence.

A law allowing people to only speak Dutch in public is nonsense, if not impossible because some immigrants simply refuse to learn the language. But a law saying that learning Dutch is mandatory seems like a good start.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The European Union is actually a great concept, but it's being run by incompetent fools.

Geez, we can't even agree on a common policy on terrorism.

In fact, it's pretty much a given (and important) that they would be members of the EU at some point in time, but I agree that some steps were just taken way too fast here.

To get back on topic, the joining of new countries at this pace doesn't really help with the integration of foreigners, either.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

German universities still have a good reputation in other countries as well, you know. Some just get a student visa and return to their home countries after finishing their studies. Most of them still go through the hassles of actually learning German.

Seeing how more and more studying programs are offered in English or other foreign languages almost eliminates the need for it, though.
