I got the impression that Vice was showing an anti-refugee slant here. As if they're ungrateful, want to leave and support closing borders.
There's gotta be those who are grateful to have escaped the war and immediate threat of death. Why not show those too?

I usually am careful about Vice because they do have a few reporters that get abit too liberal. Though, their war footage is some of the best right now.
But honestly I think this video was very balanced. They did show a town like Goslar that can handle the refugees better.
I can tell you just from being an avid follower of Vice they are not one to push an anti-refugee narrative.

[QUOTE=Trebgarta;51481229]It is not, but I fail to see how this goes against what you are replying to. Surely Germany, world second greatest economy, can afford to treat those in need better.

I mostly agree, though I wonder where that 'second greatest economy' comes from.

If you got a group of refugees complaining about the wifi being too slow, then you might want to realise that this group might be different from a group that escaped the frontline areas.[/QUOTE]
Really though, how big of an issue is that? How many are complaining about slow wi-fis?

Not alot in my view and I believe most others agree with this.
I'm not trying to paint them being the bigger group, just that they exist.
I'm so glad the US is staying out of this shit at least
