Nationalism is not only bad, it's completely useless. I don't engage in imagined communities. As for the attacks by 2nd generation immigrants. These are very reflective for a society which has failed on multiple fronts to provide a state which truly gives people equal rights and equal chances. Our government should have invested in these people decades ago, but even now, their only awnser to the social problems is sending in more police.

But all things considered, things are mostly quiet. Our biggest problem is our government filled with right wing a*holes, who have caused a lot of damage for the poorer and lower middle-class.

Merkel accepted a lot of immagrants under impulse from German industry and business because they need cheap-labour. She didn't do it because she suddenly grew a conscience.

Equal rights and chances? That's BS! You've seen just how welcoming Europe has been, they don't want to integrate! Why do they isolate themselves from society and try to have their own laws! Its not that Europe hasn't been nice to these people, but that you haven't forced them to assimilate! In NA, you WILL asssimilate, or you won't be welcomed. Europe has FAILED to do this, and no amount of equal rights will make a difference. I hope you realize this, but its clear you'll fight me on it to the very end. I'm more than willing to engage in meaningful discussion, but I hope you're willing to at least consider changing your opinion.

You realise that NA has exactly the same problems but with different ethnicities? Gangs of pre-dominantly black or latino populations are a problem in some parts of the US. Europe has similar issues with peoples from different ethnic backgrounds. The causes for both of these is the same with a historical lack of opportunities leading to the formation of ghettos which breed an inter-generational culture of isolationism from wider society.
