I take it you&#x27;ve spoken to loads of refuges then and that&#x27;s exactly what they said then? &quot;Our childrens lives are at risk, but we fancy risking them more to come to a generous country&quot;.<p>I think you misunderstood my point and took it too literally: who cares who&#x27;s responsible. We can still help people unconditionally without expecting anything in return but within reason.<p>&quot;Hey man, you&#x27;re going through a really hard time at the moment. It&#x27;s not my fault what has happened to you and it&#x27;s not your fault this has happened to you either. But I would be happy to help you regardless.&quot;<p>Now, wouldn&#x27;t that be an amazing place to be? Well done Germany, Iceland and the others.<p>--- Slightly off topic
There&#x27;s videos of locals all going up and greeting refuges and offering toys, food, donations. I can&#x27;t imagine how amazing it must feel after years of hardship and death on your door to see happy faces greeting you with open arms. That right there would give me hope and a strong feeling of wanting to do everything possibly to repay the people who helped me in my desperate time of need.<p>P.s I wasn&#x27;t a refugee, but I did grow up in refuges as a child and I met and spoke to refugees. This was going back 18 years ago now, much has changed but I met the most incredible and inspirational people there.
