reprobate

so if a topic is locked, some people (mods?) can still post in it?
 
hypothetically speaking for example, in a global warming thread - someone could post an article from one point of view after it's locked so nobody would be able to rebut it?
 
now there's a conspiracy.

Hooroo

It's a small pain in that we can post in it but it isn't obvious it is locked if posting on phone or through Tapatalk etc. I would be fairly certain BSG didn't realise it was locked

I wonder how many pages a discussion about this would go before it got locked ?<a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://i.stuff.co.nz/world/europe/75643978/Germany-on-edge-after-mass-sexual-assault-in-Cologne-blamed-on-refugees'>http://i.stuff.co.nz/world/europe/75643978/Germany-on-edge-after-mass-sexual-assault-in-Cologne-blamed-on-refugees</a>

I was about to start a thread on that, particularly after seeing the <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/mayor-of-cologne-says-women-should-have-code-of-conduct-to-prevent-future-assault-a6798186.html'>Mayor of Cologne suggesting a Code of Conduct</a> so that Germany's women would be less likely to be sexually assaulted...

Jesus. It's weird to be seeing a woman try and minimise this.

No Quarter

She's absolutely right. I mean comon, what were those woman thinking getting within arms reach of perfect strangers at a busy train station? If a woman gets with arms reach of me I just grab her arse, because I know that must be what she wants..............
 
What a completely fucked up situation.

My cousin lives in Cologne and I've visited him there many times. It is a very very liberal city. The kind of city where single women complain that all the best men are gay. 
This will not end well.

I'm waiting for "don't leave the house without a male relative" to be added to the practical advice list.

Who would have thought that thousands of men who have no respect for women's rights turning up in a liberal western country could possibly result in an incident like this ? 
You're right this won't end well and expecting Germans to change the way they live to accommodate the new arrivals isn't going to help either .

The Germans tend to bend over backwards to be liberal & accomodating, then eventuually they reach a piont they are bent double & they sort of snap. See it when dealing with immigrants, Greece, Russia etc.
 
I'm really looking forward to that snap point as its coming up & it will be hilarious.

It can't be far away now with behaviour like that and the response from local govt surely ? What's the story behind Merkel endorsing the pipeline Putin is so keen on?

Time for the Germans to throw off the guilt of 70 years ago.

Is that for real? A pro-ISIS rally in Germany? There really is a simple solution to that.

A little bit of research shows that video to be circa 2013 and about the caricatures of Muhammad

Not really a whole lot better given how they behave about caricatures of Mohammed .

Absolutely bang on. As history has unfortunately shown, Germans can be a rather obedient bunch. They still have an almost naive belief that their leaders always have their best interests at heart. The backlash will be a thing to behold. 
The cousin I mentioned above was one of the many who donated clothes and offered his services (he's a nurse). He wasn't needed because there were so many who were willing to help. He visited a couple of months ago and was farking spitting nails. People have quickly realised that most of these so-called refugees are neither fleeing for their lives nor are many of them even from Syria. Most are young men going around taking selfies everywhere. Most importantly, Germany simply doesn't have the infrastructure or resources to cope with such a massive influx. Merkel has completely lost the plot. 
My cousin is gay and one of the most liberal-minded people you will meet. If he's had a gutful then God knows what his less tolerant countrymen think. The thing is, Germany actually is pretty strict about granting permanent residency. What will happen when hundreds of thousands of young men are told to go home? Christ, what a clusterfark.

When the usual suspects were working themselves into a lather over the photo of the drowned toddler and demanding that we open our borders to these people there were stories appearing online about the behaviour of these refugees . I'd be interested in knowing how many were actually Syrian or even genuine refugees , a hell of a lot of them seemed to be men aged 20-40 if the photos of them are anything to go by. No surprises to see them behaving like creeps and groping women . I didn't understand Germany's attitude at the time it was very strange , the attitude of the leftards here was much the same . I get that they don't like Key and are looking for ways to make him look bad- that's politics , but surely there's a limit to how far you'll go to score points ? Why would you want to import ferals who see women as property and think nothing is wrong with child marriage?
