I have read all the posts on this thread on this and can see where most are coming from,I don't think to be fair to Josh he was making a like for like comparison with what happened in Nazi Germany at all and he is being unfairly pulled up as to that.
I think you have expressed very concisely and in really good wording what I can more easily go along with.
I think any State has the right in a just and fair way to expect anyone going into their Nation to fully or in part support themselves when there.
However to take by force possessions of others,lies very uneasily with me.
So I would on balance be against the Danish decision.
They would be quite right to withhold any benefits/assistance from the State if any were coming in really rich but to take possessions,maybe they have had for decades because they are of value, should in my view count as robbery.
Nothing wrong in ascertaining what assets those coming into the Nation have but to forcibly take any possessions from them,no,that seems very extreme to me.
So very well said Chewy and it is sad they are seen as less than Human,it is more than sad, it is disgraceful in fact,in my view.
