Speaking of which, the Interior Minister of Bavaria said on TV yesterday that comparing the current refugees to the displaced Germans at the end of WW2 is an insult to those displaced Germans. Note that he didn't word it that such a comparison is difficult, or is comparing apples to oranges (which would be fair enough). He considers it flat out an insult.

I would say it is an insult to Syrian refugees. Last time I checked Syrians did not aid and abet genocide and war crimes.

Who do you think Assad has working for him?

My ancestors were North German, but I'd probably fit in better in Bavaria.  They seem to have all the fun anyway.

My limited experience is somewhat to the contrary.

This is nuts.  The only guys in Syria who are totally clean are The Syrian Free Army, all 60 of them.

genocide-clean, not clean-clean.

The Germans will find a solution.

Police in Austria picked up a van yesterday - three kids had to be sent to hospital because they were severely dehydrated.

In the Aegean Sea a patrol boat exchanged fire with a trafficker's boat. A 17 year old refugee died.

The three kids and their families have now secretly disappeared from the hospital.

Merkel held a press conference today and positioned herself clearly for the first time. They government will set up a several billion Euro program for the refugees. She also said that freedom of movement in the EU necessitates solidarity when it comes to housing refugees. Germany will also likely start deporting West Balkan economic migrants faster.

Apparently the response is lettowism?



This one might be more relevant.  :hmm:
