I hope I never change how I have come to think and feel as to migrants,refugees and anything that involves people.
I see myself as a human being, just one of many of the whole human race.
Whether fleeing persecution, war,famine and /or fleeing for their lives,I see all doing so as other equal human beings.
Reaching out and helping in their dire need is what I would always hope I would try to do and what those with power would do.
Adult or child,if other humans have any need or fear at all, hope and security is what they should be able to find, not judgement, derision and condemnation.

I totally agree Joey.
I am sorry that you don’t post in here as often as you did previously as I find your contributions so interesting and well thought out. I purposely seek them out and Ammi’s (and others) too to read your takes on certain subjects as I can be sure of finding common sense and decency even if I don’t always agree with every word.
I am also sorry that your reply to me was over - analysed and taken as some kind of insult and I am a loss as to why, but I assume you expected such as you mentioned ‘some abuse’ may be forthcoming.
I am clueless about the inside politics of this forum and who is on whose ‘side’ or whatever, or if any individual is indeed ON any side, but these things obviously go on and is the main reason I rarely post in serious debates, I can’t be bothered with that BS as sooner or later you’ll get drawn into it if you feel very passionately about certain subjects. I prefer to stick to the ‘lighter’ forums where you can be at loggerheads with a poster and then forget all about it and even who you were arguing with or what it was about when the next ‘on season’ rolls around.
I know myself that I get too fired up about some of the stuff in this section. In other words, I don’t like the heat, so I don’t go in the kitchen.
But please Joey, keep using
your voice. Your passion and commitment to what you believe in is a great asset to this forum.
