You want something to honk about, honk about motherfucking gypsy Romanians that live like kings from begging.

It's probably for blind people. Rotary dials are very user friendly for them.

We need to be really careful about this stuff. Apparently there is a more scientific name for bug proteins, that can be used, that your average consumer wouldn't realize what it is when reading the ingredient list.

As a side note....

I don't understand by what standards western nations came to an unanimous conclusion that somehow the Nazi regime was by far more immoral than any of the Communist regimes.

Yes, Nazism was evil. No doubts about that in my mind. They persecuted not only Jews but many other minorities. I don't have the figures, but for the sake of the argument, let's say they went after 10-20% of the population. Absolutely horrible. But how is that worse than communists that often persecuted at least 90% of their population?

You forgot the part where they didn't kill only a few jews that started a communist movement in Germany, but they went after all jews from numerous countries + gypsies and other minorities, that as far as I know weren't exactly a center of ideological thought.

Saying Nazis only went after jews cause communism is grossly disingenuous.

I was about to say "this clearly isn't about bestiality, they're just people who petted the dog, played with it, let it sleep in the bed, etc.". But then I read "anal ulcerations"... OH COME THE FUCK ON!

The problem I've personally identified in Europe regarding democracy, is that neither the people nor the politicians seem to understand what the role of the democratic process should be in a state.

EU has made extreme efforts in promoting democracy and the rule of law as the goals to strive for within the union, especially to the ex-soviet parts of EU. Merkel and co. love to bludgeon us on the head with propaganda that these need to be the goals of any EU country. But this is completely backwards in my view.

Democracy and the rule of law SHOULDN'T be the goals you strive for. Some of the worst countries in the world have democratic elections, without helping them get any better. As for the rule of law, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union had a rule of law too, it's just that the laws were corrupt and unjust. So once again rule of law alone solves nothing.

I think Americans got it right though. The goals for a society should be liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And democracy should be nothing more than a tool to use in pursuit of those goals. And if at some point it turns out you can ditch democracy for something else, and doing so achieves more liberty and happiness for the people, then ditching democracy is something that should be done.

So my conclusion is not that democracy isn't real, or that it doesn't work, it's just that people are using it wrong and then trying to blame the tool, as every shoddy worker will do.

Yeah, but KissXSis is a fake, cause they're only step siblings.

Schoolie McSchoolface is a classic, but I really think a modern school name should have the word "tolerance" in it.

I'd like to add a few things about Merkel.
First, remember that under her leadership all semblance of free speech in Germany has been eliminated. If you have anything negative to say about immigration (not even necessarily something directed at Muslims themselves) on sites like Facebook, you have a good chance to wake up with the police at your door.

Second, you know how everyone complains about how Putin managed to get himself 4 terms of presidency? Well, apparently people keep forgetting that Merkel has had just as many. People voting for the same person and party over and over again in Russia is highly suspect and proof that it isn't a democracy, but when the same thing happens in Germany nobody bats an eye.
