Hungary's Wall -- Gotta keep them out!
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

We should be MOST skeptical of ideas we like because we are sufficiently skeptical of ideas that we don't like. Penn Jillette.

Is Hungary adopting racist and discriminatory policies?

Re: Hungary's Wall -- Gotta keep them out!
Well, you suggested that one might consider the policy 'enlightened and eminently reasonable.' I'm waiting for you to explain your thinking, one way or the other.

From the comment section.
Ayway, there's a Hungarian sitting right beside me here in work. Kinda ironic. I'm tempted to ask what he thinks.
Just, wow!Pfff and back in America we can't even get one stinking wall to keep the animals out.

I find it very hard to believe that they would, being members of the European Union in good standing, do anything unreasonable or unfair. Unless, Hungary is not among to the civilized, industrialized nations that do things the right and proper way....

As you suggested the policy might be 'enlightened and eminently reasonable' you tell me.Forty Two wrote:Is there something wrong with what they're doing?Brian Peacock wrote:Well, you suggested that one might consider policy as 'enlightened and eminently reasonable.'

Does the European Union determine your views on the matter - whatever they might be?I find it very hard to believe that they would, being members of the European Union in good standing, do anything unreasonable or unfair.

Hungry is kinda funny. They have right wing and far right wing lol.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
