IMMIGRATION thread

Not for her to decide what is slander and what's not, missed the part 'stressed to be removed'? She crossed the line, badly.

It is not for politicians to decide what is a crime or not, that did not stop a whole lot of people commenting on the Cologne event though.

Upon actually reading what you think you've quoted...

"According to Seibert, Merkel said the poem was “unacceptable” and stressed that the broadcaster removed the content after apologizing on April 1 for “crossing the line into slander.”

So Merkel has not said it is slander, only that she views it as "unacceptable" (which is not a crime) and the broadcaster removed it after apologizing for the in their words slanderous poem. I would suggest that you read twice before you jump to conclusions in the future, or you will end up like Lizardo and believe that Sweden solely consists of teenagers.

No worries, it can happen to the best of us. A good rule of thumb is that if you read something really outrageous then you should double-check that you understood it correct (it is something I try to do myself), it saves you from getting angry for no reason.

I wonder how many prison breakouts in Libya, Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan have occured.

Oh, you are back again. Have you mastered the concept of numericals yet?

It might just be like I said it is it turns out, if it really is what it seems to be I want to know more about what exactly went on, mea culpa retracted, it does seems like the childless mutti didn't just disaprove

emphasis on 'seems'

Do you have some article or press-release or such to support this notion?

No it's in limbo, not going to bother you with insinuations. I got nothing to support it.

To be clearer. What do you base your retraction of your mea culpa on? Because we've already established that the news article you posted backs your initial assertion. I am not insinuating anything, I'm asking for your sources. If you have nothing to support your change of mind, then why have you changed your mind?
