Better than your "ill-informed delusional ramblings".

I'd advise you talk about things that you understand, else the comment quality of this place is only going continue slipping. Not sure why this political piece is ranking so high here in the first place. Or has the site degenerated so much so quickly? (haven't checked HN for ages..)

Immigration is also a hot topic in Germany, but they have:

- An influx of immigrants from the EU

- An influx of immigrants (from Eastern Europe) Some legal, some others, well

Well, thank god you are back. No really, it was getting dull without the level of insightful and civilised commentary that you so clearly provide. Please tell us more about your Views. I mean, you must be an absolute genius of our time, otherwise there wouldn't so many folk who think that you have gone completely and utterly batshit, right? I'm sure that is how it works.
