    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.

    So, any new rapes in Germany lately?
    The art of war, then, is governed by five constant
    factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations,

    These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
    (4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.

    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?

    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?

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    Really? Suddenly an unsourced, off the record statement by a few unnamed police officers on social media is "German police said so"?

    If he could do that, he wouldn't be a bigot.
