Have you? What have YOU done besides be born in the right country? Put yourself on the other side of it. What if you'd be born in Syria and had a lovely life until all hell broke loose a few years ago? Would you be fighting ISIS? Fighting Assad? Or would you be begging EU states to let you in?

I haven't. My ancestors have. My very own grandparents have fought a civil war in my country. Have some respect.

So we agree. You've done nothing and believe you have a right to the liberty you have simply because you were born at the right time in the right place.

Your point then is that I don't deserve my well being and I must accept a lower quality of life?

My point is that you deserve it no more or no less than refugees.

We've banned this account for repeatedly posting unsubstantive and inflammatory comments (and ignoring our requests not to do that).

What does a ban do exactly? Looks like the account was still able to post a response to you...

It causes their posts to be automatically marked [dead]. Users who have 'showdead' turned on in their profile see these, but other users don't.

[dead] comments that are good can be rescued if enough users vouch for them. To do that, click the 'vouch' link at the top of the comment's page (which you get to by clicking its timestamp). But please only do this for comments that are both civil and substantive.
