Shouldn't we have a moral obligation to help victims ravaged by famine, disaster, persecution or war through no fault of their own or should we simply adopt a Social Darwinian approach akin to the saying 'Pull the ladder up Jack, I'm alright'?I agree, but there is only so many any country can take...
Many of the freedoms we enjoy have been awarded to us by those prepared to break the law for their beliefs.
I was not suggesting countries should be obliged to take a set number, I was simply asking if there was any such rule in place from the UN or somewhere that says Countries have to take in so many.
I woukd like to think if I was in that situation, someone would help me...
It is a debate I have never had a great deal of opinion on as it always ends in arguments imo
