War is a state of armed conflict and involves the use of armed force between two or more organized armed groups, governmental or non-governmental alike. I note in the MSM that we have... A war on obesity - armed and dangerous thin people using force against fat people A war on want - armed and dangerous haves killing off the have-nots A war on Poverty A war on Cancer A war on Drugs Ad nauseam It's a well worn metaphor, no? War in its true sense is a conflict between nations or a civil war within one. As is the word "crisis." When I was in journalism school, using it would have accrued me an automatic "F."

There is no housing nor progressive services. They are often hospitalized, medicated, and expelled back to the streets. that is not a choice. That is a condemnation. They can thank the ACLU for that. State law protects the civil liberty of anyone who is not a danger to himself or others. Moreover, one does not have a right, legal or otherwise, to "housing." It doesn't matter, because street people already have a "home" -- the street. That is their natural habitat. It suits them just fine.

so one could rightly include Belgium and France..the UK and America as I said... i don't see any street-by-street armed combat and I don't see government forces attempting to reclaim territory in these countries you mention. Which parts of the UK are no longer under government control? All I see is police and military intervention in response to terrorist and non-terrorist activities. Reactive, not proactive. I assume bombs come under armed forces? ? and the police/security armed in reaction..in France one chappie was shot in the street by those armed forces of government you cannot have it always shades.....where one side it attacking with what ever comes to hand..bombs knives etc and the other state side are attacking back... it fits the criteria you describe below and thus the countries I mentioned must be at war..on one side the armed state and on the other side armed and organised terrorism 4 hours ago shades said: """""War is a state of armed conflict and involves the use of armed force between two or more organized armed groups, governmental or non-governmental alike""""

Not all migrants are unable to read and write. Horrible generalization. the majority of THIS kind of migrant, is too stupid to read and write. trash usually is I believe you are misinformed. The Syrian refugees that have been welcomed to Canada are fine people. People who just want to get jobs and get on with their lives.

Their civil liberties are protected by state law. They are entitled to their mental illness, and the lifestyle accruing from it. The support has always been there. They don't want it. And what support is that? There is no housing nor progressive services. They are often hospitalized, medicated, and expelled back to the streets. that is not a choice. That is a condemnation. Hi Ariel, For whatever the reason, some people want to stay where they are and don't want any kind of help. To each his/her own.

The number of people who truly don't want help are an extreme minority.

Housing is one of the largest problems in the United States.

Why are you so hateful towards the unfortunate? NO ONE has said anything hateful toward the unfortunate. in the first place, we are NOT talking about the unfortunate. nonetheless, we are simply intelligent enough to comprehend REALITY You seem very intelligent.

If you find speaking freely to be 'hatespeech' perhaps another board might suit your sensibilities better? We comment on what is happening in the real world. Would you really compare comments here with real hate like this... At least eight people were killed after a Muslim mob in northern Nigeria torched the house of a man who tried to save a Christian student accused of blasphemy, police said on Tuesday. “Eight people were killed in the house by the mob over the alleged blasphemy” Zamfara state police spokesperson Shehu Mohammed told media of the incident, which happened on Monday. He said the mob of Muslim students in the town of Talata Mafara were enraged over alleged derogatory comments about the Prophet Mohammed by their Christian schoolmate, who they attacked.
He said the victim was rescued by a passerby, a Muslim who rushed him to the police station for safety. The mob then burned down the house of the rescuer with eight people inside.www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2016/08/23/foreign/muslim-mob-kills-eight-in-nigeria-over-blasphemy/those who voluntarily choose to be blind and deaf are pathetic

People without a home. whichis totally irrelevant to thesubject. perhaps you could enlighten us. what about having their homes bombed prevents them from working? what about having their homes bombed makes them thinks that they don't have to work?
