I really don't get this part. Are you trying to say that anyone who emigrates is a traitor to his or her people, regardless of the reasons for it? Or am I reading you all wrong?
That may sound overreacted indeed, but I forgot to mention what KIND of immigrant I'm talking about. If their is some civil war in your country, or its generally a dangerous place to live, then you're all welcome, my country has special rights and "features" (can't find the right word) for people who really need it.
Basicly, it comes down to the fact that you have to be illegal or really trying hard to be truly poor in belgium.
There are social living projects, for the homeless and extremely poor.
There is social refunding for the unemployed (minimum wage for no work at all).
The remark in my first post was mostly aimed at the lazy asses that come from countries that have a livable standard and come and ensicken this country.
The ones that come here, take advantage of everything, and once this country gets depleted they'll only jump to another faster than you can say "idiot"
This works and must stay available for anybody who truly needs, but the problem is that everyone is abusing it.
There is such a social living project in my village. Every inhabitant has at least 2 big cars, each kid has at least 1 expensive shiny bicycle, every kid over 16 has a moped/scooter, every kid over 19 has his own Volkswagen Golf (a car very popular in the street racing/tuner community)...
These people don't need a roof, they need to get real.
They need to get off my, my friends, my families and everyones tax money and find themself a place to live goddamnit.
I can't afford any decent moped, untill I'm at an age where it would be better to simply buy a car or a real bike. Though I do live in my own house with my family, and have 2 dogs.
A recent (anonymous) study/enquete has turned out that more than 70% of the ppl that use that minimum wage thing are abusing it, namely by working unregistered (illegal) and then officially they "don't have a job" and they get their illegal wage, and then an extra minimum wage for free.
Excuse me for thinking they deserve to get sent (back) to their own island where they can do as evuhl as they want to, as long as they don't disturb society on earth.
I think I have an explanation. The days pride and honour left and reputation became important, everything went wrong.
200 years ago, ppl wouldn't want to live in social livings if they could do otherwise. They would be plain ashamed to live there. The first objective would be to save up for a real house/appartement, not for excessive/unneccessary motorised transportation for everbody over 16.
They will ruin everything for the ppl that need it, for the ppl it was made for.
I also hate the fact that they come here and take everything for granted.
If the rottening of the society continues at this rate, I won't even be able to raise my own kids, grandkids in the same Belgium I was raised in.
