We don't like to admit it, but we live in a rape culture.

No we dont.

You might, I cant speak for greece after all, but here we are so rabidly anti rape even an false claim will destory the life of a suspected perpritrator even after it is debunked.

This doesn't speak against the existence of a rape culture; it speaks for the existence of a broad undercurrent in social justice activist thought and practice that sees public shaming as a primary vehicle of effecting change and feels vindication through the 'correction' of individual instances as a buildup to institutional change. The Internet enables this, as well as a more general 'outrage first, questions later' attitude.


By the by, if whatever happened over New Years was constituted and organized by long-standing Muslim residents and citizens, or even refugees from North Africa (as opposed to the recent influx), then all the more reason to do well by the Asian Muslims and Syrians who are freshly arrived. If they understand it as "Europeans are our countrymen", then they are less likely, even where remaining poor and marginalized, to fall under the influence of troublemakers, criminals, and fifth columns.

How do you publicly shame someone for Xing in an X culture? Does the culture suffer from a lack of self-confidence? Are you referring to a subculture within a larger culture?

Don't think about it too hard; he certainly didn't.

I am not good at English

You've only been using it for at least 15 years, so I don't know how you can be any good. He's not using "big words" to scare you off.

[Fragony]

It's ok to be ok in English, I can manage. I make mistakes, so what.

Police isn't allowed to report them in Germany, Collogne got a bit too big. Been plenty all over Europe, the little children of the childless mutti are to her astonishment not behaving all that well. I envisiion her laying in her bed with an iceback on her head muttering 'wir schaffen das... wir.. schaffen...das'

Most likely according to Pape's (or any other) statistics. Why do you ask?

Police isn't allowed to report them in Germany

Where do you always get this bullhonkey from?
There are apparently cases of no or underreporting but how can you say everything is swept under the rug when politicians of the current government openly talk about it on TV? I guess mr De Maiziere has been fired already for disobeying Merkel since we all know that nothing in Germany is done without her approval and she wants this swept under the rug.

Or how about we you stop with the dramatic, exaggerating blanket statements?
