What is your solution to the problem in the world you're the most vocal about? (lemm.ee)

Browsing social media, it’s apparent that people are quick to point out problems in the world, but what I see less often are suggestions for how to solve them. At best, I see vague ideas that might solve one issue but introduce new ones, which are rarely addressed.

Simply stopping the bad behaviour rarely is a solution in itself. The world is not that simple. Take something like drug addiction. Telling someone to just stop taking drugs is not a solution.

I think I'm MORE confused now, but I appreciate that you tried to clarify.

I can see it now. Sorry about being ambiguous. What I mean is that the first generation immigrants who were granted permanent residency or citizenship should be treated the same way as multiple generation citizens, including crime punishment.

I'm still confused... So do you want them sent back to country of origin or not? Because that's by definition a different treatment from 2nd generation or later citizens. Or do you want to deport 2nd generation citizens somewhere too?

As in "treat them better" or as in "I've been led to believe they're treated better and that multiple generation citizens are treated worse"? Because seeing your comments so far I'm pretty sure you're thinking the latter.

Are they not, in your country?
