174. I proposed a solution to a bad situation that can hurt

Mon Jan 18, 2016, 07:28 PM

Jan 2016

all refugees in the future if the German government doesn't step up and act responsibly.

1. Educate the newcomers

2. Sufficient law enforcement so they aren't overwhelmed by coordinated gangs of sexual predators.

Curfew is not an intro to naziism. It was as offensive when u first said it as it is now. What an insult to every victim of the holocaust. You marginalized the true evil perpetrated on people of that era. In what country or world is imposing a curfew to maintain order a gateway to naziism. Are you okay? Just link to any pub that decries curfew as naziism. Stop embarrassing yourself.

You know what is risking a rw anti immigrant rush the next election? Denial that a problem exists, the lack of a grown up plan to educate and integrate the newcomers and protection of their citizens.

What a lovely culture, hifiguy Jan 2016 #1

Rape culture is "lovely, deserving of our respect and acceptance"? Who says that? uppityperson Jan 2016 #4

ah, how many rapes does India "REPORT" a year Jim Beard Jan 2016 #12

Looks like they don't collect is separately. I don't have an answer, but here's the wiki bit uppityperson Jan 2016 #19

rape culture is seen in many cultures. in the US college sports military JI7 Jan 2016 #42

Not to that degree. Not close. hifiguy Jan 2016 #43

i just said in that post there is a problem with the culture JI7 Jan 2016 #111

Fair enough. It just IRRITATES me when people start making comparisons... sibelian Jan 2016 #116

the comparison is stupid but so is to claim the type of sexual assault JI7 Jan 2016 #117

Well, I wonder if hifiguy thought that was what YOU were doing. sibelian Jan 2016 #118

the problem i have is some seem to be going from acknowledging this is a serious problem JI7 Jan 2016 #200

Just to clarify, you want to ban all men of a certain religion from entering the USA? uppityperson Jan 2016 #130
