I wonder what percentage of them learned English in the early 1900’s? All of my grandparents came over from Norway back then. Both sets learned English pretty quickly, and spoke it in the home with their kids. Although my dad spent time as a kid working on an Uncle’s farm who mostly spoke Norwegian, so my dad was pretty fluent in it along with English. Now I have 20+ Spanish-speaking stations on my TV!
The other thing about the early 1900’s. The immigrants came here for a better opportunity and worked their butts off to do it. Now a large percentage of immigrants just feed at the public trough.
Is that a fact? Care to reference your experience?
Oh yes, it’s rather fashionable the MSM whores would tell us.
But is it actually true? I mean verifiable demographically?
Like America, much of Europe has masked its problems by central bank money printing and debt creation. Its why Swedes aren't in a civil war yet - the bubble is still being blown by the EU central bank. Same as the USA. Money is the prose of society - and a fake money market can cause 1000 unseen social problems
We should airlift out all the blonde women before they get hurt or inconvenienced in some way.
Never been the same since Fran Tarkenton retired.
Maybe this is our well-earned punishment for murdering millions of unborn babies.
UKIP did pretty well in the last election with 13% of the vote—third largest total. Only one member of Parliament, but the numbers will grow.
Reason I ask this question is because I have asked myself that question about my own country, and I don’t have an answer to it.
Europe has far more restrictive firearm laws. Guns are not easy to obtain.
You can find the figures online for Europe.
Sweden alone is:
2 032 000 guns or 21 guns per 100 residents. Of the 2 032 000 guns, 959 000 where rifles, 726 000 shotguns, 122 000 combination rifles, 88 000 pistols, 55 000 revolvers, 3 000 automatic guns and 78 000 weapons parts.
It seems Sweden can own pistols and revolvers, I wasn’t aware.
Germany has the fourth highest gun-ownership in the world, there are 5.5 million firearms in Germany....my Bavarian friends have 1.1 million guns alone amongst them, North Rhine-Westphalia has 1 million and Baden-Württemberg with 700,000.
Serbia has the second highest gun-ownership in the world, Switzerland the fifth.
I’m not doing the work for you beyond this. Google is your friend.
But if you want to hold onto this ridiculous MYTH like some Americans that “Europe is disarmed”, “at least Americans can defend ourselves unlike you Europeans who’ve been disarmed”....then ENJOY your MYTH.
It’s a myth, it’s NOT fact.
Read my post # 73.
Europe has MORE guns than you’d LIKE to pretend we don’t have.
Please stop INSISTING that “Europe is disarmed”, I’m sorry it’s getting really REALLY irritating.
So irritating in fact, I’m moving on from this thread. I’m not going to keep repeating myself.
Hard to believe these are the same Swedes whose armies terrorized Europe in the middle centuries of the last millennium as they battled the Holy Romans, Spaniards, Saxons, Czechs, Danes, Poles and Russians.
Bring the original version of the Constitution to Alberta.
Oh I forgot to add, eg. Sweden = 2 032 000 guns or 21 guns per 100 residents.
Sweden has a population of just 8 million people. 2,032,000 guns in a population of just 8 million, is pretty massive.
Your population is what 250 million....thus Sweden alone based on their population, are nearly as well-armed as you are....and that’s just Sweden.
Across Europe we’ll have between 15 million to 20 million guns across our population. That’s a very well-armed Continent I’d say.
If it comes to it, Europe will defend itself, you can count on it....I myself KNOW it.
That’s it, out of this thread now.
I think it’s what I said. Either paid off or threatened. Why else would you shaft your country?
And what are you Europeans doing to defend your culture with all those registered guns that the police can come & take anytime? Those guns that Europeans own in name only since they are secured in hunt club arms rooms to be checked out for a day’s hunting only?
Use a gun to defend yourself against a rampaging Muslim & you are going to jail. So take your tirade somewhere else.
