Love watching Live WebCams of cities around the world. Theres a WebCam at my favorite beach. I watch the ocean tides and boats going by in the distance.

Thanks John … I am well aware of New Zealand’s immigration policy and refugee quota :/). Yes we are a small isolated island nation

As I have already said .. my issue is with the resentment , intolerance and hate directed towards migrants /refugees . You demonstrated that clearly with your comment about rape and murder . The capacity for crime exists in everyone . How many American citizens commit rape/murder ? You are entitled to see my comments as self righteous no doubt .. we see our world from a very different perspective ..

I do not understand why people are so selfish and territorial when it comes to “ownership” of a country .

As for refugees .. perhaps Cyrax will share his experiences of life in Germany. Refugees are generally given citizenship in their new country and they have the same rights and entitlements as other citizens .

Since you mention "150 countries" I'm assuming you're not just talking about Mexicans.

It's always weird to me that people in some other countries think that "no other country" has that problem.

The EU have taken on more than 2x as many refugees than the US!!
Our countries our overrun, our social security systems drained, same for health insurance, - all at the expense of the Dutch citizens (and the same in Germany, France, Spain, UK, Austria, Sweden, Belgium, and so on."

There are no houses for us anymore, "us" being Dutch people, so people now end up living in caravans (what you call mobile homes), or forced to stay with parents etc. Many cannot afford to pay bills, buy food and so on with the current high prices, refugees get it all for free or as good as.
And refugees DO get houses!!! They empty houses for them, or build new ones for them.

Then it makes the news that these poor refugees are sleeping in the streets, even the camps have run out of space for them.
Lot of to-do, because OMG this is SO sad!!
While our own people end up in the street because of this situation and NO ONE mentions that, doesn't make the news either.

And they keep adding refugees, EU forces us to.
We now have Ukrainians coming in droves. These are generally very decent people, but we simply have no space, no homes, our treasury is empty -has been for decades I think- but we must be humanitarian and take on more, and more.

The US isn't even in the top 10 of countries that take on board the highest % of refugees.
So if you think you got it bad...

They used to detained them and deported them back to Mexico before, they're not doing that anymore?

A penis.

The Mexican government are busing their citizens to the US border escorted by Mexican police . This is what was going on before Trump became president and he stopped that practice by pressuring the Mexican govt. with tarrifs or sanctions , but it stopped. Now with Biden that practice has returned . They see that in 8 days title 42 will go away for Mexican immigrants only. And projections for illegals crossing over will be about 18,000 a day. Released with no record of who they are or where they go and what they are here for. This isn’t because of a “ broken border policy. This is being done on purpose to bring in as many people that are likely to vote democrat in the near future. That is why title 42 will remain for people from Puerto Rico and other Central American countries. Yes…most democrats are fine with it …. Bhaaaaa. Bhaaaaa.

They want "equal rights" along with some "special rights" to go along with them. Why are there special awards shows for black people?Why do they have the united negro college fund? What do they have affirmative action that says you have to hire a minority if they have the same or even less qualifications? Why do they have a minority clause in some contracts for public projects? Why do we have "gay bars" that cater to a select group?

The government discriminates based on age, they don't let people vote til they are 18 or over, they don't allow people to buy alcohol or tobacco or nicotine products til they are 21. And then there are 55+ communities that don't allow for younger people to live there. Isn't that discrimination? They used to have "ladies night" at bars, but most have stopped doing that because it was considered discrimination.

Should an airline be required to give somebody 2 seats for the price of 1 because the person weighs 450 lbs? Should a buffet be required to charge the same whether you are 100 lbs or 300lbs?

The problem is everyone wants a leg up, a little extra, equal doesn't always really mean equal.

What really gets me is when the president of the United States says he wants a woman of color for the vice president, then he says he will only nominate a black woman for the supreme court without even looking into other candidates. Isn't that the most discriminating thing to do is pick a specific sex and race without giving consideration to others?

That would make sense and be easily explainable if that's how you (men) woke up every morning but that's not the case. You can be pouring a cup of coffee thinking about what you have to do that day and boom, there it is. There typically isn't delayed reaction in that regard.

i hope it is fun and real on here

Often people confuse happiness with being in contentment.

Happiness is Joy.
Joy is an emotional state of mind.
Like all emotions they tend to rise and fall in severity.
It's unhealthy to try to hold onto an emotional state.

If contentment is the center (standard emotional state), joy and anger are extreme periods of emotion which rise and fall according to stimuli.

You get periods which cause joy and you get periods which cause anger. Since those emotions flex, trying to live in constant joy or anger can cause depression. Its unnatural and impossible.

Depression is self-sustaining extreme periods of all emotions. It can cause you to feel you have no control over your own feelings or your own life.

Most of life is non-eventful, emotionally speaking.
If those periods of non-emotional events are 'empty' you think you can't feel happiness.

When you gain emotional maturity, its easier to feel contentment during those non-event periods of life.
You realize happiness (joy) and anger (malcontent) are emotional states which are not meant to last a long time. You have control over malcontent and experience greater sensitivity to the moments which bring you joy.

You still get happy but its more powerful
You still get angry but it is less severe and debilitating.
Non-eventful periods of life are reinforced by contentment.
Contentment becomes your ... middle ground, so to say.
When contented, there's no room for depression to take hold.

Life can be hard.
Everyone builds a delusion about something.
When the delusion is broken, we get confused.
That confusion of life's expectations affects contentment.
Accepting the reality of your own life, without the delusional gloss allows you to be contented because reality is always reality.

We all set expectations on life. We are taught what to expect by the other people we meet.
We build delusions based on other people's examples of what life is supposed to be.
When our own lives don't match those expected results it confuses expectations. Natural contentment eludes us.

Remove the delusions and see your own life's reality. Set your own expectations based on what you know about your own life.
Delusions can be broken but reality is reality and applies no matter the expectation.

Understanding that, allows contentment and natural expression of emotion.

If you 'feel nothing' you are telling yourself to feel nothing and denying your own emotional expression. Feeling 'numb' emotionally is a form of depression.
I've felt the same way before and its soul-wrenching.
I needed to come to grips with my expectations and remove the delusions I built so I could embrace reality.
Once that was mastered (It took a long time), I found inner contentment and my moments of joy were so much sweeter. It also allowed me to make better decisions which lessened the malcontent and anger I felt. It gave me control of my own emotional stability.

Many, many things in life bring me joy now.
Few things make me angry and when I am angry, I can control and remove the anger from my decision making.
I never really feel over-whelming sadness anymore. I still feel sadness when it is warranted but it doesn't consume me.

If you allow someone else to tell you how to live your life, you are living their lives ... not yours.
Take back your life and live your life your way.
You are the only expert on how to live your own life, because it is YOUR life after-all.
Without YOU your life is a lie.
Those lies (delusions) bring malcontent because things in your life don't align with delusional expectations.

Put your head on right...see the reality of your life and take control of it. It should be the easiest thing you can do.
Nobody can do a better you, they don't walk your path.
