Austria Bans Burqa, Introduces Mandatory Integration Courses

[Rematch]

Good for Austria for not only setting a good example for the EU, but also the US in immigration policy.

 

[Bald1]

Historically Austria is way more important than Australia.
Just compare the ridiculous long list of geniuses who advanced humanity out of Austria to the somewhat short list of influential thinkers out of Australia.
Of course parts of this Austria are now Germany, Hungary or Italy because we unnecessarily destroyed them after WW1.

Unnecessarily? It was a conscious effort (mainly driven by France) to neuter the central powers. Mainly under the guise of self determination of the peoples. Led to all kinds of craziness. The Paris Treaties were one of the most near sighted facepalms in recent history.

I don't support Islam as an ideology, no. But I don't condemn anyone who is moderate and willing to assimilate into western culture.

So you think assimilation is accepting them but we can't go on with some stuff we normally do anymore if it offends them? Like eating pork bacon at their presence?

 

[Bald1]

Doesn't seem to matter. Even when they do report them, the cops do nothing.

This needs to be pointed out ad nauseam, until we figure out just why the hell it is so.

A new law in Austria will ban women from wearing any Islamic dress that conceals their faces as of October.

According to RT, the president of Austria has also approved a law that will stop migrants who fail to take language lessons from receiving benefits.

The text of the law reads: “Those who are not prepared to accept Enlightenment values will have to leave our country and society.”

The law has drawn thousands of protestors to the streets of Austria earlier in the year but it has been passed by the centrist coalition.

Any woman who wears face-concealing Islamic dress, such as the burqa or niqab, in public places will be fined €150 ($168).

Newcomers to Austria will also have to enrol in an “integration course,” that will last 12 months. This course includes German language lessons, and if anyone refuses, they will not receive benefits. Not only that, they will be forbidden from handing out radical materials, as well as forced to volunteer before getting their work permits. The volunteering rule is designed to make sure that newcomers are integrated into a working life.

you could just not let them in....

Like why do civilized countries have to let people in? These people fucked up their own countries or won't even try to unfuck their own country, so why let the Lazy or cowardly in your nation and pay for them?

Keep in mind i'm a liberal, but this a band aid on a gunshot wound

DON'T LET THEM IN

The one final thing they need to do is send these poor people to church and get the REAL RELIGION AKA CHRISTIANITY.

Mmm not be be biased but IDK, unfortunately the one main export Australia has is it's brains and internationally we've become a good poaching spot.

I recommend you do a little research on inventions out of Australia and you may get a surprise.

The text of the law reads: “Those who are not prepared to accept Enlightenment values will have to leave our country and society.”

It's a bit of a bait and switch, because immigrants were never told that from the start. that said, it's a reasonable principle. The rub will lie in the will it takes to enforce it.

no, there won't be much of a surprise in comparison to Austria

Scientists & mathematicians:
Kurt Goedel (mathematician, one of the most influential logicians, set theory, incompleteness theorems, proof theory etc et pp)
Erwin Schroedinger (Nobel Prize, quantum field theory, Schroedinger's cat, philosophy of science)
Ludwid Boltzmann ( Boltzmann equation, Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, interpretation of 2nd law of thermodynamics)
Nikola Tesla
Christian Doppler (Doppler effect)
Richard von Mises (distortion energy theory of stress, solid and fluid mechanics, probability theory, statistics, areodynamics...)
Ernst Mach (supersonic fluid mechanics, namesake of the 'mach number')
Hans Hahn (Hahn-Banach theorem, topology, real analysis, set theory...)
Karl Menger (not Carl Menger but he's also from Austria) (Menger sponge, game theory, utility theory, cayley-menger determinants)
Oskar Morgenstern (founder of game theory, Neumann-Morgenstern utility theorem)
Friedrich Hayek (classic liberalism, Nobel Prize)
Emil Artin (Algebra, Artin's conjecture)
Car Auer von Welsbach (gaslight)

and another two dozens of Nobel prize winners.
Half of the stuff any engineering, math or physics student learns as an undergraduate today is to some extent based on or influenced by Austrian brains, one nation out of 195 countries.

other notable brains:
Sigmund Freud (psycho shit)
Hans Apsperger (autism, asperger syndrom)
Viktor Frankl (invented logotherapy)

Music: Joseph Hayden, Franz Liszt, Johann Strauss, Johannes Brahms, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Lol wasn't a dig at Austria and knew what I was about to get from your reply. It was more every thinks nothing comes out of Australia yet a lot of day to day inventions and new science do.

No, I wasn't offended and I'm not Austrian
But it's pretty crazy how many influential people were born and raised there. Basically any nation would look bad in comparison. And it's scary if you look at Germany+Austria or German-speaking countries/empires, with focus on physics and math. Then you can add Einstein, Euler, Fahrenheit, Kirchhoff, Heisenberg, Helmholtz, Roentgen, Cantor, David Hilbert, Carl Friedrich Gauss etc.
It's like 75% of the people mentioned in your college textbooks were German speaking. They definitely did something right for a long time

Good list, if more than a couple on there aren't actually Austrian.

[Bald1]

Who?

Liszt and Tesla jumped right out at me.

DON'T LET THEM IN

So you don't think Western Imperialism in the ME had anything to do with displacing millions of people?

 

[lecter]

Liszt and Tesla jumped right out at me.

Tesla absolutely was born and raised in the Austrian empire and had Austrian citizenship. He visited an Austrian, German-speaking school.
Obviously large parts of the Austrian empire aren't part of Austria today.

Listz was also born in the Austrian empire an received education in Vienna.
