    A question from my ignorance: is it possible that they are reporting all of those hate crimes on the news suddenly for some anti-Brexit agenda? Serious question, really, as you are British.

    They do jobs. They pay taxes. They benefit society. The NHS hires a lot of immigrants.

    Hey, I'm new here. I know this is a music site, and this is probably a shot in the dark, but do you guys have an Immigrant r--- Thread?

    I'm just letting you know this as a courtesy, since you're a child. I'm sure you'll dismiss this with some new angry, poorly argued tirade, but I promise it's coming from a good place, and I mean it very sincerely.

    There are only two possible outcomes of you being like this at 16:

    1. You smarten up in your early 20s and are embarrassed you thought/argued most of these things, you feel guilty, and you frantically try to scrub them from teh internet.
    2. You fall even further down this rabbit hole of myopic bs and become a person who not just has s-----y, destructive beliefs, but has the ability to impose them upon the world at large.

    I'm done arguing with you. You seem very impressed with yourself, but I can tell you for a fact that those of us who have some perspective on life see right through the bluster. You're trying to prove something to us--and probably to yourself--but in trying for that end, you're turning yourself into the kind of person who can be manipulated by really dark, really cynical political forces. You think you've tapped into some well of intellect and knowledge, and that's great, but in your desperation to prove that to the world you're very quickly becoming a bitter, blinded, xenophobic piece of s---.

    It's incredibly easy to reverse that. You're 16. People do terrible things at 16. Lots of people I consider friends and family were similar pieces of s--- at 16. But I honestly, honestly hope that you turn it down a few notches, step back, learn from the outside world and realize that experiences other than yours are not less than yours.

    Like I said, I'm not going to say anything else to you. I'm sure you're going to tell me to f--- off, because you think you know everything, but if you ever want anything feel free to reach out to me. I hope things work out for you, and I very sincerely hope you consider how damaging it is to parrot the things you naively think are true back out into the world.

    All the abrahamic religions and books are violent and homophobic. Christiany used to be just as bad if not worse but Europe developed rapidly (thanks to imperialism and colonisation) and science took over religion. The Middle East during this century and the last has always been war torn from western wars and policies. War torn nations will always be less 'civilised'. Go to some war torn Christian African country and tell me you feel safe

    There was a time when it was the Islamic world leading through science and art and the christian world was burning witches

    Times always change. Islam and Christianity and Judaism are pretty much the same thing. It's not the ideology of islam that's the problem it's the constant wars and turmoil and poverty and new-age imperialism of building puppet governments. This is what's causing ISIS and such movements.

    The Middle East could be inhabited by people worshiping big black double ended dildos instead of Muslims and you'd still have the same problem. It's not their belief in big black double ended dildos that's causing turmoil it's the constant wars and pillaging.

    Well the catholic IRA attacks weren't that long ago. There's currently no war in western countries and war is what brings out religious extremism.

    There is in Africa though Christian militias killing muslims and viceversa

    Jesus Christ... First you say you're not using r--- as a criteria to limit immigration then you go on to say "some immigrants r--- citizens, it's absolutely an effect of mass immigration." What are you trying to get at here then? Do you believe that limiting immigration will lower the rate of r---? That's what it sounds like you're arguing.

    HHTG, we literally all know that a rapid increase in a country's population strains it in some ways in the immediate short term. Everyone knows that. But let's not be naive here: The Leave campaign was able to win because they tapped into a deep, violent sort of racism and class anxiety. Sure, on paper, immigration laws might not be necessarily racist, but let's live in the real world here.

    there's no denying that refugee sexual assaults do occur (cologne for example, being one of the more publicized ones), but likewise a lot of them are completely made up to fit an agenda. a lot of the ones that get tossed around as examples are already debunked.

    THE IMMIGRANTS ARE GOING TO r--- OUR DAUGHTERS!!!!

    This is an absolutely preposterous argument, to the level of the Americans who think trans people are going to assault kids in bathrooms. r--- is illegal--if someone's caught, they're jailed and prosecuted. Welcoming immigrants is not welcoming r---, especially since there is exactly zero evidence to suggest that immigrants commit r--- at a frequency any higher than native Britons. Get out of here with that racist fear mongering s---.
