Default Re: How to preserve Europe?

I voted for all except 3, 6e, and 7.

Option 2: In my opinion one would have to be quite optimistic to suppose that the Moslems would allow themselves to be repatriated just because some Europeans decided so, whereas otherwise one would have to anticipate major civil conflict. In such case repatriation is not the right word…, removal sounds more in place.
As all of you know, the leaders of the EU are presently considering the possibility of assembling a European military force, which is, among other reasons, why they are thinking about (or rather, preparing for) annexing Turkey into the union. Who knows what their plans are if (?) the Turks join, but it’s obvious that they’re looking over the fence, not indoors, so threatening Moslems with forceful repatriation would appear comical - although, some say, the Turks hate Arabs!

Option 3: I think this is needless and even impractical, because prohibiting such choices is a makeshift solution at best. Moreover, I consider such personal matters to be… well, personal. I wouldn’t want the government to dictate my sexual or other preferences, anymore than I would like the government to dictate anything else within the constraints of my personal life. After all, every individual has his own inherent taste.
Fascist governments are the easy solution; with no intention to harm the feelings of those who favour it, I think fascism is, in the long run, an inept regime. An analogous example would be bank robbery: the muggers want to get rich, but are unable to do so through harmonious (yet competitive) interaction with the people whom they want their wealth from, so they use violence. It is simply unethical, and it makes one wonder what it is that we need to save Europe from!
I bet however one can say many negative things concerning liberal values and policies as well; hence I tend to look more toward the middle.

Option 4: Concerning the economic policies - these should be made less liberal by disallowing entrepreneurs exporting jobs to the Third World. This is a sensitive issue nevertheless, because, in case of Europe, these entrepreneurs and other businessmen have the option to emigrate in search of better economic opportunities, which are readily available in America, for example. Such a policy would in all likelihood deprive Europe of much economic potential.

Option 5: I absolutely agree with this point! It would also help very much in countries such as Russia, where we face a considerably more severe birthrate crisis than in the West. The government here doesn’t develop this system for some reason though, which is a pity because it is very sensible.

Warm greetings to everyone from Russia!
