Why is it so difficult to get electrical tape to secure anything together but absolutely impossible to get it apart once you do?

There's forces at work, strange mythical forces. Pretty sure it's the same forces that are in play when you stack 5-gallon buckets together. Once one is in the other, it's impossible to get them apart.

The Nordic countries have put themselves in an awkward position. Some have closed their boarders to refugees, others are making it hard for them to settle in, but one thing is abundantly clear: they don't want them. To think Finland and Norway, to name a few, are showing such indifference to people in need, is shocking. They are both highly developed countries, with excellent education education systems, high quality healthcare, yet they can't show empathy to people who can't stay and fight because they are either imprisoned or killed. Humane treatment is lacking in their socieites.

Maybe it could be that they worked hard to make their country what it is and do not want or need people moving into their country and then trying to make it much like the place they came from.

Hmm, sounds like Americans who move from a blue state to a red state.
 
Sweden has seen a substantial increase is crime and especially rapes since taking in "refugees"
as a result the last elections went seriously to the right - seems the Swedish population is not impressed with how people are behaving.

some interesting numbers:
year: 2021

Norway: processed 1,076 applications - accepted/admitted 83% - i.e. 893 people
Finland: processed 1,781 applications - accepted/admitted 69% - i.e. 1,229 people
Sweden: processed 7,510 applications - accepted/admitted 25% - i.e. 1,877 people
. . . . so why does 'only' Sweden have a problem? or are Norway & Finland not reporting . . .

Germany: 148,159 apps rec'd, 63,453 processed, 49% admitted - 31,320 people
Germany is the most popular 'destination' because they provide the most generous welfare payments and support....
Germany has huge crime issues, including rape, stemming from 'refugees'

for comparison, in 2021 USA accepted/admitted: 68,920 refugees.

do not confuse this number with the number of illegal aliens coming over the open border.
USA is allowing more illegal aliens into the country EVERY DAY than the Nordic countries take in per YEAR.

Then what we need to do is find a way to reduce the refugee related crime rate. What would they need to stop behaving like criminals? I am told no one is violent by nature, that they usually are due to various circumstances. How do we stem the tide in this case?

Someone once came up with a plan for stopping the criminal behavior of illegals. They Joe came along and stopped the building.

who told you that, all through history it was very violent. The last bit of time is an anomaly.

My mother told me. I get the feeling she meant to say that left to his own devices, man isn't necessarily violent of his own accord. Maybe it was because of harsher living conditions that people were violent. I for one believe you need to look at what makes people violent to see where they're coming from.
