Funny How

[Samuraisan]

Isn't it funny how those hero doctors who saved that baby and
and mother in Syria look ethnically different from the migrants pushing their way into Europe.

This?

[-SharonA-]

That's it! Handsome doctors!!!

[bednobs]

i don't really get wht you are trying to say sam. The doctor who performed my c section was ethnically different to me. So what?
Also, i couldn't see any of the doctors in that vid - all i could see were there arms and gloved hands.

[Mamyalynne]

Not sure I get the gist of the question either but well done those Doctors and yes they are handsome.

The question is straightofrward and has been asked before, to wit

the crowds streaming into Hungary arent all Syrian are they ?

To which the answer has to be 'that is correct'

Eddie has tried 'no they weren't but they are now'
and the Beeb has played a tear jerker about a traveller on the road for seven years ( find lurve etc ) without a hint of irony or insight


Big thing about the arab conquests is: did they displace the residents or dominate them

Egyptians say they are pharaonic and not Arab ( they have a point)
a Tunisian said to me 'Look at me Tunisians are not Arab we are Romani - I am like the spanish or italian. Tunisia is a European nation ....... '

[bednobs]

if that's sam's point, why go about it in this *** about face way?

// I am like the spanish or italian//

Poor soul!

[Mamyalynne]

Thank goodness Peter translated the question - I think.

Romanes eunt domus? What sort of talk is that? A people called Romanes, they go, the house? Conjugate the verb Ire, boy, &c. (with acknowledgements to Monty Python)
