Mass sexual assaults in Cologne on New Years Eve

I've just read this and I'm shocked that such a thing could happen. A group of around 1,000 men gathered and assaulted at least 60 women and girls and also pickpocketed people. Apparently the news wasn't released until now out of fears it could stir up tension as the men appeared to be of Arab/North African appearance, possibly refugees.

"They just chose to ignore them, because they disagree with them."
They disagree with them because their mothers and fathers, uncles and other clan members don't foster Western values when raising their children.

It is problem that is brought in by migrants from Muslim countries. It is a problem that is enabled by a lack of political ability to deal with mass immigration and globalisation. The next few decades should become increasingly difficult for all. The years of relative peace we have been blessed with in Europe since WWII are over.

"There are laws dealing with sexual harassment in Germany, they might not be as stringent as in the UK but they do exist."
I'll say they're not as stringent! Unwanted groping is not sexual assault as defined by §§177 et sec. of the StGB (penal code), nor is it even defamation as defined by §185 StGB. for German readers

I find it no co-incidence that two of the more ignorant vocal posters on this thread have only this thread and another regarding immigration to their names.

Sansoora · 06/01/2016 14:58

In the ME women are not seen on the streets in the evening unless accompanied by a man, and never at night. If a woman does go out unaccompanied at, say, 8pm she is insulted and told to go back home to feed her family, or treated as a prostitute.

Do people really believe this?

Moreshabbythanchic · 06/01/2016 15:01

Have any of you read of Coudenhove-Kalergi? This could explain what is happening now.

hiddenhome2 · 06/01/2016 15:01

Hard fought for freedoms from the two world wars just thrown away.

Shame on Europe's rulers.

hiddenhome2 · 06/01/2016 15:03

Angela Merkel needs to be shoved out onto Cologne's streets and see how she likes it.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 06/01/2016 15:08

Moreshabby - I haven't! Have just googled and am none the wiser - could you explain please? Smile

hiddenhome2 · 06/01/2016 15:11

There does appear to be some mass social engineering taking place. Why they would want this, is anybody's guess. Do they believe that they won't be taken down with the rest of us? Where will they retreat to?

AdjustableWench · 06/01/2016 15:18

Thanks uglyswan for your info on the German legal position on sexual assault. I had no idea and I'm quite shocked.

MrWriter · 06/01/2016 15:22

hidden they are lizards, they'll just slink back off to their home planet Wink

uglyswan · 06/01/2016 15:25

"Hard fought for freedoms from the two world wars just thrown away." I have no idea what to do with this statement. You do know that Germany lost both of those wars, don't you? And I'm no historian, but afaik, neither of them was fought for women's rights.

Theodopolus · 06/01/2016 15:26

The problem as I see it, is that many don't WANT to integrate. They don't WANT to adopt our morals or our values. They want to impose their way of life on our modern way of life. So, I'm not sure how you could force encourage them to change?
This is why I think their culture is just not compatible with European culture.
It's desperately sad. It's heartbreaking to see refugees fleeing their country of origin. But it's equally heartbreaking to think that we are at risk of being dragged into the dark ages.

Moreshabbythanchic · 06/01/2016 15:27

countess in brief it is a plan to bring into Europe many people from different countries and encourage them to breed with Europeans and in the future make a race of mixed parentage. an excerpt from Wiki may explain better:

The man of the future will be of mixed race. Today's races and classes will gradually disappear owing to the vanishing of space, time, and prejudice. The Eurasian-Negroid race of the future, similar in its appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals.

Instead of destroying European Jewry, Europe, against its own will, refined and educated this people into a future leader-nation through this artificial selection process. No wonder that this people, that escaped Ghetto-Prison, developed into a spiritual nobility of Europe. Therefore a gracious Providence provided Europe with a new race of nobility by the Grace of Spirit. This happened at the moment when Europe's feudal aristocracy became dilapidated, and thanks to Jewish emancipation.

I haven't read the updated thread in full so this may have been said already...I have mixed feelings about this thread. The good news news is that many, many people seem to have come to the same conclusions. The bad news is that, as somebody said upthread, we are screwed. In an effort to understand the seemingly sheer madness engulfing Europe recently, I have been doing a lot of reading, which seems to be what everyone else has been doing too! Some of the things out there will make your hair stand on end but in a nutshell, the global population projections for the next 30 years or so suggest that our westernised, liberal way of life is finished. My personal opinion is that our politicians know this and have decided to enrich themselves while they have the chance hence the deals, mad decisions, turning a blind eye, failing to uphold values. No-one is looking beyond 2050.

When I was doing my degree, one of the most fascinating points one of our lecturers argued was that the different cultural attitudes between the deliberately patriarchal Nazis and lazily patriarchal allies made a significant difference to victory. 'Rosie the Riveter' unlocked womens industrial potential, while 'Kinder, Kuche, Kirche,' hobbled similar attempts in Germany. Essentially, the allies were willing to sacrifice the social status quo in the pursuit of victory (even though they tried to turn the clock back afterwards) while enshrining that status quo was one of the ideological foundations of Nazism.

Natailya · 06/01/2016 15:47

sansoora And what do you have to your name? You seem to be a denier of many facts.

uglyswan · 06/01/2016 15:49

Meph - fascinating yes, but I don't see how that's in any way relevant. The Allied forces had no intention of introducing women to the industrial labour force on a permanant basis or on a global scale. The GI Bill turned back the clock on Rosie the Riveter, her job was given to returning war veterans and women went straight back to being mothers and housewives. Anyway, I would be happy to discuss this with you elsewhere, but I think we might be derailing this thread.

Pinkchampchoccies · 06/01/2016 15:50

Sansoora I hope you don't mean me? I have name changed but hope I am contributing sensibly.

Natailya · 06/01/2016 15:50

fourmummy ".... our westernised, liberal way of life is finished."
Yes, that is exactly what it means. It is the finish of the European way of life as we know it. Around 2050 we will be entering the second Dark Age. There is nowhere to run to either.

ABetaDad1 · 06/01/2016 15:52

Mephistopheles - that is very interesting. I wanted to say something similar earlier but thought I might be way off the mark. My experience of Germany is that deep cultural 'Kinder, Kuche. Kirche' is very much still there and stretches all the way back to the culture of Germany before WWII. It has not in a deep fundamental way changed. The idea of a perfect 'HausFrau' is still there.

Germany has the appearance of equality for women but it is a sham. Women in business who do reach the very top are shunted into the advisory boards of companies where they have no power. The executive boards dominated totally by men make the decisions.

Yes women can have jobs as my German female friend has. She is a highly trained specialist medical doctor but still constrained by society looking after the children because children finish school at 1 pm so she cant have a full time job.

There is still a very strong 'old boys' network in Germany cemented by things like fraternity societies at the old universities. Where you work and whether you get promoted depends entirely on a strict hierarchical deference to the 'old boys' above you in the network. Challenging the hierarchy (read patriarchy) is not good for your career if you are a man and not possible if you are a woman. The only women that succeed are married to well connected men.

hiddenhome2 · 06/01/2016 15:53

I'm talking about democratic freedom swan, which Germany has adopted too regardless of them losing the wars.

The EU is a liberal democracy....... allegedly Hmm
