Jared is naturally prettier. Her pre-surgery photos are unfortunate.

If true, this is shocking. I thought Satan was confined to the realm of Starbucks toilets.

Fingers crossed for a Putin-Deng June wedding, because the ensuing divorce would be spectacular! It’s such a random couple, but my god, it’s such an obvious match now that it’s come to light.

This makes me wonder if there’s on online dating service that pairs people with similar personality disorders. (Aside from…

Kitty Porn!

Exactly- I was taking the narrow view of education based on what the original poster referred to.

No, I don’t mean that you’re implying that! My original posting was a reply to someone who suggested that classes like those taught to refugees in Norway might help, and I’m saying these guys knew they shouldn’t have done what they did and a mere class wouldn’t have prevented what happened... It would be naive for…

Now I understand what you mean. I think we agree with each other. My point is that the problem won’t be resolved by simply sending refugees to classroom-based integration courses — like the one referenced in the original post that I was replying to. These men already knew that what they were doing would get them in…

Did Dov Charney bake that cake for them?

If they didn’t know it was wrong to harass women for wearing western clothes in a western country, then it wouldn’t have taken the relative anonymity of a 1,000-person crowd for what happened to have taken place.

That’s sad— it’s interesting how frequently I see evidence of prejudice here from people who don’t notice it within themselves, and consider themselves to be very liberal. I’ve seen minstrel-y decorative items in the homes of young, highly-educated Germans, Confederate flag stickers affixed to cars (and, recently,…

I agree with you about the Syrians and Iraqis; they should be let in immediately, along with anyone traveling with children in my opinion.

But since the volume of people coming in has outpaced the government’s ability to effectively process and begin integration efforts for everyone, some sort of entry prioritization…

NO, it’s definitely not okay in any conditions! What I meant is that in some instances, men have been given the green light to rape women as a ‘spoil’ of war. Cologne wouldn’t fit even that indefensible criteria.

Germany has these classes as well, but so many people have come in that it’s been difficult to even register everyone, let alone send them to integration classes.

Still, what happened here in Cologne isn’t an education issue. These guys knew what they were doing was wrong— assuming that not stealing from people or…

Most likely you would be asked to take classes. When I moved to Cologne with my German husband from the States I had to register at the City Hall, which automatically put me on an ‘invite list’ for a mandatory integration course. My husband managed to get me out of it by bringing in a copy of my MBA diploma and my…
