So I finally got to opening another PayPal account. This time it should work. I guess I can take commissions now seeing as I don't have a source of income anymore, but only after I finish OCG's first. Sorry it's taking a really long time OCG, but I'll try to finish it by this month.

Since this is a mostly European forum, what do you all think of the Refugee Crisis that's currently happening in Europe?

Many of them are where I live. They can be seen on street or sleeping in parks. I feel sorry for them and I hope war will end soon so they can return to Syria. Now with Russia's help, I am sure war will end in the next 3-5 years.

A lot of the stuff you see on Facebook is saying how "we're giving these people homes instead of our veterans" but they're not coming over here to escape to a better life, they're escaping from a war.

It is man's nature to kill for an ideology.

I thought mans nature was not to let men grow stale. Or does that just apply in government?

It's because he's a paranoid kid who listens to the news way too much.

We're actually living in the most peaceful time in history. But of course we're aware of the wars that are going on around the world because of the media, so it might not feel like it.

Now that's the positive spirit I like seeing! And it's not false either, it's been shown that our era is the most peaceful.

I think it depends on region. There will always be time in history where it is peace somewhere and where it is not. Take a look at Ukraine. Only few years back, it was stable without any issues but look at it now. War in Donbass does not seem to end. There were two Minsk agreements signed and despite that, both sides that are fighting are constantly breaking them and fire is not stopping.
But thankfully, there is no World War now so I guess it is more peaceful than 20th century

We are 15 years into the 21st century. It has also been said numerous times that humanity will not make it past 2100. But in the meantime 2015-2030, I need something to keep me occupied.

Dunno where you've heard that, but if that were true it'll probably be from climate change and also how we're going through a mass extinction right now (aren't human's great?).

You do realise it's impossible to see the future, right? People thought the world was gonna end in 2012, stfu.
