I guess some people are ill suited to be parents. Good for them and society at large to have made a conscious decision not to procreate. Coming from a large family, I felt it was my duty not to add to the burden. 1960's brainwashing. Besides, I get to hang out with some pretty cool nieces and nephews occasionally.

Merkel says she will deport 100,000 migrants. It seems reality has set in.

Her situation could have been worse if it wasn't for Victor Orban.

No no no, Donny. No deportation, that sounds so holocaust-ish, and this is the reason why this expression is used in this context. The Brits will always love nazi related military words and terms when they talk about "Kraut" issues.

It is a matter of expulsion of migrants who got no residency permit, for what serious reason ever.

It is ironic that the much maligned Orban has eased her pressure.

So many migrants/refugees even when they are given legal stay in other European countries leave and head for Germany.

Can you tell me what it is that is so attractive in the German package?

It was primarily Erdogan who eased her pressure.

Germany is one of the greatest places on earth to live. Germany... and maybe Bhutan... and Switzerland.

Come to Germany, Sir. Let's have some lessons in savoir vivre...

Prosit!

Amen to that. There are many aspects of life there I prefer to here (as well as some here that I prefer to there).

Well I see the Donald is going to solve our 'refugee' problem and he will countermand DACA.

This is Maria, a 19 years old medical student from Freiburg, which is close to my hometown. The jogger has been raped and killed by a 17 years old migrant from Afghanistan. Yesterday he has been taken into custody.

Bad news for Merkel, there is a turmoil in the social media, and not only the mob is involved in this turmoil. The crime triggered a huge wave of generalization to the disadvantage of the migrants.

Every sympathy, of course, for victim and family.

That said, the worst bloody shirts, when it comes to inflaming people, are those found on nubile young females.
