Germany - Relative to the size of the population, this represents an eightfold higher rate of hate crimes than reported in the US during the same period. [47]

What's a "hate crime?"

Oh...you mean the thing that you right wingers say doesn't exist in this country?

But for convenience, now YOU cite it!

I stick to my assertion. We have more racial and ethnic strife than the Germans do by a long shot.

So. Germans don't have the right to be nationalists?

You live in the most jingoistic nation on Earth.

The nerve.

Uh-uh. Once again, I give you references, and you blow smoke. Well you're consistent, I'll give you that.

And this idiot woman is letting in thousands of anti Semites into Germany. She is an idiot and needs to be voted out.

Frankly, I don't see how German social issues affect me at all. Maybe you can point it out.

And I lived in Germany for 11 years. I was still unaffected while I was THERE.

What you really mean is that you WANT their issues to affect us ....perhaps because of a personal agenda.

But as of now, they don't.

You have no clue what I meant detective, I was generally clueless of your approach to the topic. But then again, I forgot about your selfishness and your lack of the 'big picture'. Your general "I'm American and I careless about any issue" is ridiculous and nobody really cares what you feel. The article was specifically meant for an European Jewish audience and maybe those who call out Europe for its hypocrisy's. If the article bothers you so much to the point that you had to make a big fuss about it, why not go to an American centered thread?
