Time-Immemorial
Cologne mayor's 'arm's length' advice to avoid sex attacks draws ridicule.

She blames women for the sexual assault.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/06/europe/germany-cologne-assaults-arms-length/index.html

Merkel says the attacks were disgusting however she too is under fire now.

It's really strange to see a woman talk about the "arm's length" stuff. An arms length isn't even that much, if I want to rape you the fact I'm an arm's length away isn't going to prevent that.

I'm surprised she didn't add in "they were dressed slutty so they must of wanted it" for good measure.

Bardock42
The mayor's comments are disgusting, very much blaming the victim, and at the scale of these attacks it should really be obvious how stupid such suggestions really are.

Obviously the problem is the perpetrators. The police response was also very weak, and it will hopefully be used to improve that in the future.

Silly mayor. I mean, people should be sensible, but that's some ridiculous phrasing right there.

Just tossing out an idea, why doesn't Germany just arm the refugee's and send them back so they can actually fight for themselves?

Because most people don't want to fight in a war? Hence why they are fleeing the conflict.

If there is one place where I part ways with my fellow liberals, it's on stuff like this.

Europe, stop letting these backwards tribals into your lands. Consider how even after going to these "education" courses, that Eritrean man still finds it absurd that a married woman can say no to her husband. It's not worth the money and effort to try and educate these savages on how to behave in a civilized manner. Not worth the money, and not worth the threat your citizens (especially women) will face.

This is what happens when people become so tolerant, they are afraid to judge.

I don't believe in tolerating refugees breaking the social mores of the places where they seek refuge. I think the key is handling it on a case by case basis rather than rejecting all refugees out of hand.

What happened to these women is awful and we need to do more to protect women from sexual violence, and perpetrators of it should be caught and punished to the full extend of the law, however this is just far to broad to make any sense, for one, the women most targeted by the increases in sexual assault are migrant women. Surely we shouldn't ban these women who try to escape oppression in their home countries, and we should make sure that they don't come into a just as dangerous situation here as they were there.

We should also not use sexual assaults perpetrated by migrants to sweep the problem of sexual assault and rape perpetrated by citizens under the rug. If in the public conscious rape is equal to "some foreigner raping our women", that does a disservice to the many, many women who are attacked by friends or family or homegrown criminals.

We grant asylum to people for a reason, it is a tenant of our culture to help those who are persecuted in their country, those who have to fear for their life, and we shouldn't knee-jerk into othering everyone that's not a citizen of our country, because there are some bad people among refugees.

The true issue we have right now is that there have been huge masses of people coming in, and very many allegedly civilised countries, like the UK and the US have refused to do their part in helping with this humanitarian crisis. This has made it hard for countries who do help to optimally deal with the situation. If the EU would get together and make a program for taking and housing refugees we would have enough space and enough workers to ensure that these refugee camps are safe places, we would be able to always, not just in some cases, separate women and families from single men, and we could ultimately decrease the negative aspects that come with a mass influx significantly.

Additionally, and perhaps as an aside, there's another potential issue, if we do not accept any men, they have nowhere else to go, which ultimately may mean that ISIS can vastly improve it's recruiting, and become much more of a threat than they already are.


I do agree though that the left is behaving awful in this, from staying silent to blaming the victims. We should not, out of fear of racism, not talk about these crimes.

Racists are going to racist either way, in fact, they often use the silence of left media, and left politicians, to further their cause.

That is a broad statement without even diving into your further discussion points. It reads like a statement from a would be politician with an apology on the end. What does that mean anyway, provide police escort for women? It is so vague and broad I'd love to hear reasonable changes for this.



You are correct in this statment. However if you see a relatively small increase in population growth from immigrants and a large change in crime values there is concern.



Not everyone that has entered Europe has been refugees. It is intellectually dishonest to even believe that at this point after many news reports.



We fundamentally disagree on this I believe. You believe its our job to make these people feel safe, I believe its the job of our govts to make sure we are safe from them first. Then we can go about creating safe places for them to reside.



As an aside why are they all fleeing the middle east? Why is it no neighboring countries are assisting and forcing them to flee to Europe/NA?



If religion is the focus of persecution is race really an issue? I realize that might be how folks identify them from their region but what I have read about is not race but religion far more, I could be mistaken though.

The main ways to help with that is increased and more prepared policing, education of the cultural expectations, integration into work life, and until such integration is done a separation of single men from other refugees.

We have a process to determine whether someone is eligible for asylum status and that needs to be applied, I never said that all the people coming to Europe (or Western Europe) should be granted asylum, but we shouldn't ban those in need of protection, as was suggested in the post I replied to.

I believe that it is our job to do both, make the population in general feel safe and protect refugees from war zones at the same time. I do not think that we should do only one at the complete expense of the other.

I believe the neighbouring countries do take many refugees, at least some of them, however perhaps they could do more, at any rate we have to deal with the issue at hand, which is millions of asylum seekers coming into Europe and now being here...

I believe that Islamophobia falls under the category of some form of racism, i.e. the Religion aspect is to a large degree a cover of "I don't like Arab people..."

World War 1 wasn't Germany's fault, they basically were just saddled with most of the burden for the aftermath because they lost.

As for World War 2, I think the allied bombing campaign and the Soviet invasion were probably karma enough.

He's right, pinning World War 1 solely on Germany is just a false understanding of history.

I don' think anyone said that Germany was *solely* responsible for WWI? But they were responsible, nevertheless.

Now, lets go back to modern times, shall we.

Bardock42
Sure, some people do blame Germany for WW1 though. In this instance it wasn't absolutely clear, though saying that something is Karma for WW1 heavily implies that there was a majority of wrongdoing on that side.

Sure, if you have something to say about modern times we can discuss it.

Stigma
As for modern times, I am very interested how the situation plays out.

Even if Germany has a stricter policy on migrants now, or about to employ it, I am sceptical on how they can manage such a mass of people.

Namely, what do you do with about a million (or more?) migrants that just came to your country in a spam of few months. That's just unheard of as far as I can tell.

Also, supposedly around 75% percent of those migrants are men between 20 and 40. I asssume Germany will let them call for their wives and kids? If so, how stricter migrant policy applies to that?

Also, what about the people who did not make it and are caught in-between, say Hungary and Germany? Should they be held down in the countries they are now or what? Who is to decide about it?

Parmaniac
Hungary has already closed it's borders like a lot of other countries too, we have enough refugees already and should follow.

For ****s sake we don't even know where to put them already, theaters, sports halls and in some cases schools are overflowing already.

Humanism might be fine but at a certain point it becomes self destructive.

Saudi Arabia has an entire tent city for Mekka Pilgrims which is completely emtpy for the rest of teh time and they don't take any refugees.

Saudi Arabia has taken hundreds of thousands refugees from Syria, they are just not counted as such, particularly by the Western Media.

I'm sure they could do more, but that's just a misrepresentation, mostly used to deflect from the issue that there are refugees in Europe that need humanitarian treatment.

Stigma
The facts remain tha feminism and LGBT movements arose in the West and can actively change the socio -political reality in the western countries, while nothing like that can be said of the Muslim countries. (of that I know off)

I would agree that this cultural divide will take much more and longer to bridge than just a "cultural sensitivity" program tbh.

And on top of that we have terrorists pouring through into Europe among those who are truly immigrants. This was shown by the Paris attacks.

Even if the borders are closed, there's no telling how many terrorists are already in.

World War 1 wasn't Germany's fault anymore than it was England or France or Austria-Hungary or Russia's fault. It was a bunch of Imperial powers who didn't want to back down from a fight, that's all.

Even in this hypothetical situation, I don't see how punishing people who had nothing to do with the original wrongdoing is ''evening the scales''. Also, I never said I wanted to post a topic. I made that statement as a comparison to illustrate how ridiculous your comments are.

I know you didn't really want to post a topic. But again..I was just going off the comment made about karma. I'm not the karma master here, I just said that if it was a thing that was real and the innocent people of Germany were going to suffer for WW2, bombing wouldn't really even the scales. Again, this doesn't mean I am saying you actually even the scales by doing that. But karma is all about evening the scales.

If you are saying karma would normally be put upon people who were somehow actually involved, well yes I would agree.

But National Socialism is not. It's right wing because of it's nationalist and conservative ideas. The same way that libertarianism can be left or right wing depending on the practitioners, so would socialism (again, if you accept the Fascism of the Nazi party as a form of socialism at all).

Socialsim can have a nationalistic twist....doss not magically make it a right wing ideology, just a leftist ideology with nationalistic ideas.

TBH I have a quote of Hitler saying himslef that his ideology has more things in common with Bolshevism than not. Bolshevicks were Leftist, as you know.

Um... you forgot to highlight:

The term "National Socialism" arose out of attempts to create a nationalist redefinition of "socialism", as an alternative to both internationalist Marxist socialism and free market capitalism.

So it highjacked ideas of socialism to put it in opposition to marxism and capitalism. Note it says "internationalist Marxism", as Hitler wanted socialism with a nationalistic turn.

Because I can't be bothered:

National Socialism (German: Nationalsozialismus), more commonly known as Nazism (/ˈnɑːtsɪzəm, ˈnæ-/), is the ideology and practice associated with the 20th-century German Nazi Party and Nazi state as well as other far-right groups. Usually characterized as a form of fascism that incorporates scientific racism and anti-Semitism, Nazism developed out of the influences of Pan-Germanism, the Völkisch German nationalist movement, and the anti-communist Freikorps paramilitary groups that emerged during the Weimar Republic after German defeat in World War I.

...

The term "National Socialism" arose out of attempts to create a nationalist redefinition of "socialism", as an alternative to both internationalist Marxist socialism and free market capitalism.

And a Nationalist socialisme, that was free of classes but instead focus on uniting the Germans as one people, is, I know this will be a surprise, not socialisme which have the classes as the whole foundation.

have fun reading about the Revolution from the right by Roger Griffin smile Should heighten the education level though I doubt it.

Hence socialism that focused on the nationalistic aspect... Nazis.

You do realize that nothing you posted contradicts the fact that Hitler was a Leftists. He developed national socialsim as an alternative to international marxism, but he did not sabotage all of socialist ideals.

Okay, good luck with that interpretation, the world will continue to consider the Nazis a far right movement though, for the many reasons stated.

And I think those reasons pale in comparison with Hitler's self-proclamation that he is a socialist. thumb up

Good lord, can be please stop this gibberish debate about the definition of National Socialism? Trying to babble your way through trying to say Hitler was in any way connected to a meaningful definition of 'socialism', or trying to say the Nazis were not right-wing, is painfully stupid enough as it is, but it's also just crippling the topic.

It's not been a good thread so watch where you bring it. Try to avoid sensationalist interpretations of news reports. For example, please don't use 'The Germans' as an indicator of 'a tiny amount of Germans'- that;s twisting reality in pursuit of a narrative you want enforced.

At what stage in his reign? Well, I think first of all Syrians would not have come to Germany for asylum if Hitler was in charge. If they were there though I assume he would have treated them similarly to jews, i.e. concentration camps and extermination.

Germany needs to wake up soon, Merkel keeps going back and forth, she needs to abandon her party lines and lay the law down, shut the borders down, deport everyone and arm her citizens.

Actually I consider a anti-immigrant movement to be a rally. As the source said here:

"Also on Monday, the anti-Islam political movement Pegida's supporters threw bottles and firecrackers at a march in Cologne on Saturday before being dispersed by riot police."

You would have been far more sensible not to take that parting shot. Take your own advice by a long way first because you are astonishingly beyond the boundaries of sense and reason with such an argument- so much so that I consider it akin to trolling. You'll be watched for such things in future.

You have used the term 'rallying' as a word to describe 'small groups of racist thugs attacking immigrants at random'.
