Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Sep 15, 2015, 07:45 PMIndeed, I think so too. Many here in Iceland don't even want to take in a few. Every little thing helps imo!

Yeah some don't want any, some think we shouldn't take many. I think we should take as many as the EU wants us to, maybe more. I don't get disappointed by many news from the con government but when they announced 4k per year for the next parliament I was gutted, these people need us.

over a million was the last I heard, but the minority are trying to go to Europe as far as I heard (maybe a few hundred K in Europe)

Well the numbers are increasing all the time. Last year about 280,000 refugees entered Europe. This year there's already been more than 500,000 with 146,000 in the last month alone. Most are heading for Germany but after they accepted about 40,000 last weekend they're struggling and are now tightening their borders and trying to get others to accept more instead.

As pez said, most don't flee to Europe because its extremely hard for them to actually get asylum here.

@Dr. Pezus seen that Luke Shaw injury? Its absolutely horrific, I'd link a video if I wasn't going to throw up if I saw it again. I feel so bad for him.

Yep I was watching the match. What a nightmare of a match, especially that incidence. His leg was flopping around.

Yeah I know, losing is bad but that was just awful. I was watching the city match but a couple of my Man Utd friends messaged me about it so I watched a video and it was just awful. They've confirmed it as a double fracture. I'm worried he'll miss Euro 2016 now

Yeah it seemed like a double fracture, just straight through it all. Otherwise the foot wouldn't flop around like that.
He had been playing so well this season too. I'd say he'll be out at least 6 months, but hopefully not much more. Unfortunately that will kill his form though so he will need more time to get back into the game.

Yeah he was playing very well. It'd be great if he could get back playing before the end of the season. I can't believe anyone could recover from something like that in just half a year

Well at least he is young. If he was closing on 30 it would probably take more of a toll long-term

Homeopathy is a joke.

The belief that "like cures like" is all fine and dandy, but the problem is that homeopathic medicine believes a more diluted solution is a more effective solution. Not even a single molecule of the "active ingredient" is left over in the highest quality homeopathic medicines. It's literally just water that you're drinking.
