There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Re: Berlin this time
That is an incredibly strange view, especially considering that Germany just began to return thousands of Afghans to Afghanistan.
Last I heard, the remaining refugees are stuck somewhere in Southern Europe, if they come in illegally or get smuggled that hardly qualifies as our action.
As for step 7, that's absolutely justified, yes, I tend to skip the first 6 steps because 7 is the most fun.

Re: Berlin this time
I feel like the formulae is missing a step where the 'proposed solution' of those who want to 'stop it' involves 'burning down mosques', 'rounding up muslims into camps and deporting them', 'glassing the middle east', 'using naval ships to sink refugee boats', and 'build a massive concrete war with machine gun fortifications' to stop the refugees.
Then it goes to 7 where people are quite rightly calling those people lunatics and bigots for sentencing millions of people unfairly due to the actions of a handful of people. It is interesting what context can do to an argument when you ignore massive crucial aspects.

Point. Just read a stat on WW2 Russia. Males born in 1923...turning 18 in 1941....only 20% were alive in 1946.Just as terrible as everything else going on in the world.

Re: Berlin this time
Bloody hell. IIRC Louis posted some stat about the 18-40 French generation from 1914-1918 as well, of which 1/3 were dead and another 1/3 were maimed. Of course, nothing in history compares with the Jews in occupied Europe, of which 95% of all age groups were dead by 1945, the most thorough rubbing out of an ethnic group in history.

Wait until the Islamists become a majority in Europe by the end of this century, it will make the Shoa look like a walk in the park.
