UK, Ireland / Documentary on foreign and local workers in a town in England. [66]
In the US, Germany, and Poland there are student loans available in addition to grants. If you want to go to school, there is no excuse not too.
Get rid of the idea that if you work hard, you'll make it. Start reminding people to work smart in order to make it.
I'm intelligent enough for an education, so how do you envision getting people like me to educate themselves?

It's the only way forward, working smarter and not harder. A global workforce isn't that complicated of a concept. If the work can be done somewhere else more efficiently, it will. We in the west have access to the best education systems in the world, some of the easiest access to capital in the world... no excuses.

Work / Is there any opportunity in Poland for CISCO certified person? [8]
I just paid a newly minted CCNA €170 to go to a customers site, rack and cable a router, upload a config, and test the connection. In fact, that should be happening here in about 40 minutes. Can't find anyone to do the work. It's not exactly rocket science.

You know that's never going to happen. They have the right to a fair trial.
They're not criminals yet.
Or alternatively, if they're proven innocent, there could be a similar article published
with their names and photos saying that they were freed of charges.

It's a problem of multiculturalism. The immigrants never have a need to integrate and end up finding themselves second class citizens due to the warm embrace of being different, instead of the idea that we're all the same.
The problem in Western Europe is lack of integration. Not necessarily the number of immigrants.

Yes, people went completely apeshit in countries like the Czech Republic without the church being there to remind people the difference between right and wrong....
Isn't the whole so called gay movement is "backwards" by definition?
Why do you think that?
In the vacuum situation it's better to have church reminding people about moral code and responsible behavior than letting people go wild.

Regarding the law in Germany, it's historically been based on the nationality of your parents, birthright was just introduced.
2 pertains to a German-American, that person doesn't have to chose
3 pertains to an American born in Germany, that person has to chose under German law

wikipedia also mentions that most "developed" countries just recently (last 20 years) revised their laws to put additional restrictions in place.

That's a myth.
Lots of countries do (or did).
That's what I was getting at earlier. Allegiance to a single country doesn't mean much anymore in this globalized world.
When they turn 18 they're supposed to chose one citizenship.
That's a myth.
You're correct convex and since the US is the only country I know of where you get citizenship by simply being born on our soil (are there other countries that do the same?
Lots of countries do (or did).
However, nowadays dual, sometimes triple or more citizenships are pretty common. Case in point, a friend who's born in Zimbabwe, raised in South Africa, educated in the UK and now lives in the US. I know for a fact she has a South African passport, a British and a US passport. Not sure about if she has a Zimbabwe passport too.

I'm not sure about the Israel bit, but it's perfectly legal to be born a dual citizen and have a passport from each of those countries.
It didn't supposedly take away liberties, it did. You should compare the patriot act to the constitution, that's the only thing that matters. European laws are irrelevant.
Other than the right to bear arms in some places, I really can't think of how the one has more freedom in the USA.
by written law, only citizens of Israel.

Everyone panics about the Patriot Act, etc which supposedly took away some liberties. An average ACLU lawyer would rip apart most of the EU governments and their "liberties" they think are so much better than ours.
