[Carmen]

Some arguments exist only to argue.

 

[Chase]

And looks like there's a cholera outbreak in Yemen.

 

[Eugene]

Or to draw attention to the arguer.

 

[Carmen]

It's rather difficult for the people of Yemen, there isn't much else, nowhere for them to even migrate.

 

[Carmen]

@Eugene, attention, yes. The fuel of fools.

 

[Eugene]

I like that phrase. I'm going to steal it, if you don't mind.

 

[Carmen]

Please do.

 

[Chase]

Stealing from Carmen? Huh...

 

[Chase]

This issue of migration is still on-going though. It has almost as much population as Syria. If Yemen need to move out...

 

[Carmen]

Yet another crisis? Perhaps, yes.

 

[Carmen]

I remember when the news media first began reporting on the migrant crisis, and Syrian refugees were arriving in Europe. Not a single journalist there could speak Arabic, and no one was able to tell the stories of these newcomers... leading directly to the far right claming 'migrant invasion'.

 

[Chase]

Interesting take on that. I was discussing exactly this with a few friends on how the right was gaining prominence in Germany too.
