    Default Refugees complaining about Germany

    "It is like a jail here," says a Palestinian woman. "There is only German food, but we are Arabs," adds another one. "What will we do for Ramadan?" she asks. A 14-year-old girl complains, "When I play with my cell phone, they tell me to be quiet. But why?"

    Cabin fever in Bornheim, near Bonn, Germany: In front of a school, refugees are complaining about living conditions, supervision by social workers and the constant uncertainty about how long they will live in the school's gymnasium.

    Around 80 migrants from Iraq, Syria and Palestine reside in this accommodation facility. Several of them are camping out in front on the street to protest. Among them is Iraqi refugee Bashar (pictured below). He can no longer stand it in the shelter. "I am 26," he says, "but since I have been here, I feel like an old man."

    We thought we would find hope here but where is it?" asks Bashar. He looks disillusioned. For six months, he and his family have been living together in a room in the gymnasium - he estimates less than 25 square meters for six people. On his cell phone, he shows pictures of bunk beds. The rooms are separated only by construction site fences. He sleeps all day because he does not know what else to do. At night he lies awake.

    A lot of americans died in those bullshit wars (that were fought not just by America btw) and are still dying not to mention we are still suffering from the debt caused by the massive spending. So I would disagree with you. We should get out of the middle east though. Didn't know politicians represent all of America.

    But yeah, you're so cool for hating on America.

    Your government deserves to be hated for its foreign policy.

    No, its not. If I pulled you out of a raging river, and the first thing you said to me was 'Are you not going to buy me a towel and some breakfast', I'd throw you back in.

    Nobody who ever faced death would say shit like he'd rather face death. Everyone but some h'ed up depressives wants to live.
