    Interesting replies. So deporting is people is ok, but not asking them to simply rent-out fields opposed to tresspassing?

    Meh.

    These clowns were in the news in Belgium lately. They occupied the land of a farmer, without asking the owner if it's ok, let alone paying him something for his trouble. When they were chased away, they whined about Belgium not showing enough hospitality.

    Whoever goes and sits on a land that isn't his own, without the consent of the onwer, shouldn't be surprised he must leave. Idiots. Was it that difficult to ask the farmer and the local authorities under which conditions it would be ok to use that piece of land and, in case of a "njet" to go look for another piece of land?

    On what basis did they think they had the right to just put their caravans where they please without having to ask? And then they wonder why some people dislike them? Would they like me after I break into their caravan, take a shower, have dinner and then leave without even cleaning the mess I made, let alone paying rent?

    it was the reference to this:
    Should we protect these minority cultures or get rid of them? I think we should get rid of them,
    which could be construed as advocating an interventionist cultural/behavioral policy, that some might term social engineering. :)

    No, prosecuting people for breaking the law is ok, imprisoning and then deporting them is even ok, deporting them because you don't like them is not ok.

    It hasn't been ok since Aethelred the Unready tried to innitiate a pogrom against the "Danes" in 1002 AD.
