That is what I call "scissors in the head" - and it makes me want to take some scissors to cut my skirts shorter - here in Germany I do (almost) as I please as long as I don't hurt anybody (of course as a guest I adjust in other countries to their customs).

Heaving masses of humanity (my visual).<br />Immigrants arrive seemingly unassimilatable. The authorities should send the worst back. In the meantime, they are here (or there, in this case). Protesting to make a point is good and admirable. Not to assess the potential for trouble realistically and take precautions is stupid. <br />Assimilation takes a generation. Accept it. I remember when gay men locked arms and walked down main streets chanting we are queer and we are here. Now gays have been mainstream for so long the US supreme court accepted them.<br />Find the thugs. They aren't thugs because they're immigrants; they're thugs because they're thugs. Send them back. Imprison them. The rest only want a room, a bed, school for their children--opportunity.<br />This problem won't be solved over night, and a cacophony of complaints from us won't help the matter. Support reasonable solutions at the ballot box and wait. And take care.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-69511949212134402032016-01-10T09:25:37.933-08:002016-01-10T09:25:37.933-08:00Maybe by some people of Eastern Germany, but other...Maybe by some people of Eastern Germany, but otherwise I don't see that.

Here they pussyfoot around, and if one says something you easily get a label of being reactionary (before the incident in Cologne I told some people that I don't feel at ease any more when changing subway at Bahnhof Zoo - they were more than astounded. Now the discussion tone is "But all men are sexists and potential rapists" - I am sick and tired of hearing that.
