No, butt-wipe. A number of the no go zones in Germany are controlled by Lebanese gangs. Tell me how the Iraq War pushed the Lebanese to Germany. Or is your addled brain actually trying to connect the dots to the Bush's handling of the Israel / Hezbollah conflict? Maybe suggesting that Hezbollah is just a fine buncha guys and Israel should have left Lebanon to their tender mercies?

How's the weather in Toolville today?

Per your link in the OP, Merkel and her Interior Minister were unable to identify a single no-go zone in the entire country.

I go to Germany typically every other year since moving back from there ~30 years ago (including just last September) and there is not a single area of any German city I would fear walking through late at night. OTOH, there are multiple such areas in most American cities in which you're taking your life in your hands if you do.

That said, I don't like Germany as much with the Euro, lots of Mideast migrants, and the inevitable consequences of globalization as I did before those changes. However, it is still far, far safer than the United States in every measurable way and enjoys a quality of life and lifestyle that is far superior to the USA in most key areas. Further, I find it reprehensible for American conservatives, erstwhile cheerleaders for the Iraq War (the proximate cause of the European refugee crisis), criticizing the consequences of the refugee crisis they helped create.

As for the Lebanese gangs coming as the result of Merkel's open border policies, you're wrong on all possible counts. "Open borders" resulted from the EU's Schengen Agreement in the mid 1990's and Merkel didn't become Bundeskanzler until 2005. Also, the Lebanese gang members in Berlin "arrived at the end of the 1970s and the 1980s, as refugees from the Lebanese civil war," while Merkel was still a chemist in East Germany and long before "open borders."

I think you learned all you know about Germany from Hogan's Heroes.

Nor would she, schill. She's been in denial on this for years. Do you think her recent "revelation" would now include specific details, which would make her look even more idiotic?

I've already beaten you like a red-headed stepchild. Back for more?

BTW, it would only make her look more idiotic because no-go zones don't exist there.

The whole country has become a f***ing no-go zone. Where, oh where is an Amerikanisches Stück Scheiße going to find a bier in Das Vaterland...

"A drunken American tourist has been beaten up in the German city of Dresden after he repeatedly raised his arm to give the Nazi salute, police said.
The 41-year-old man, who was lightly injured in the attack, was being investigated for violating the law against the use of symbols from banned organisations, Dresden police said in a statement."

The only thing you beat like a red-headed stepchild is your middle leg.

Not only do you have an over-inflated sense of self and your impact on others, but you apparently can't understand plain language. Unless what you're saying is that you disagree with Merkel, and first hand accounts of police, that no-go areas do exist. Whatever the reason for her remarks, it was a moment of damning candor.

Back for another beat-down, eh? From the article cited in the OP:

Merkel’s spokesman Steffen Seibert told reporters Wednesday that “the chancellor’s words speak for themselves.”

Interior Ministry spokesman Johannes Dimroth likewise declined to identify no-go areas, saying security was a matter for local not federal authorities.


Sounds like Sarah Hillbilly Sanders double-speak to me. The boss says something for political reasons that is not factual and her underlings are compelled to back her up with goobledy-gook nonsense. There is no question that crime has increased with the refugee crisis (from a baseline of almost zero), but the idea that there are places where German police fear to go is BS.

For example, here's a German news video describing the problem in Bad Kreuznach. There's a specific bridge there where refugee youth hang out and argue late at night disturbing neighbors' sleep. When cops show up, the youth sometimes go as far as throwing their ID's on the ground and spitting when asked for their ID's. Hardly a no-go zone as portrayed by wingnuts like you, but indeed rampant criminality by German standards where jaywalking or verbally insulting someone (beleidigung) are civil infractions and rarely seen. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5wcpre

You can only wish that metro Detroit was remotely as safe as any big city in Germany. It makes me wonder what your motivation is for posting BS like this. A single politician in a foreign land makes an off-hand and counterfactual comment and you jump on it. Maybe you should focus instead on your Dear Leader's 2,500 lies since becoming President, including the one about all the cheering Muslims in New Jersey on 9/11.

You're turning into a standup comedy act of raging hypocrisy. "a single politician in a foreign land" in this case is "only" the German Chancellor. Your comment makes her sound like some low level bureaucrat.

Also, isn't jumping on every off-hand remark of Trump actually your M.O.? Why, yes. I think it is!

And why should he retract the claim that there was cheering in New Jersey? It might not have been "thousands" - and Lord knows Trump is prone to exaggeration - but it appears that it did happen.

So you just have admitted that your thread is entirely bogus, then. What a moron!
