However, the consequences of such a significant troop withdrawal have a couple of downsides, too, most of all for the Germans. One mostly overlooked but important side effect is the departure of the US troops themselves. With their visible presence of African-Americans and immigrants from Asia and Latin America, they enriched the German shopping malls and restaurants, representing a multi-ethnic society. If they are gone, German society will lose a bit of color, so to speak. This step will play into the hands of right wing xenophobes whose aim is to purify the German nation. Here, by accident, the goal of the Neo-Nazis and the one of the German socialists coincides.

Or they're protecting the terrorists, coddling them, and fronting them.

Their post 26 explains it.
They see everything the US does as cultural imperialism.

Did you see the article where the UN is celebrating the "End of Slavery"?

If it weren't so tragic it would be funny.

Harpy ping ...

The Harpies were employed by the gods to punish crime on the Earth.
Their names were Aello ("the Stormswift"), Celaeno ("the Dark") and Ocypete ("the Swiftwing").
The Harpies were probably the personification of storm winds.
They were represented carrying off persons to the underworld and inflicting punishment or tormenting them. Those persons were never seen again.

HARPIES

No, missed that one.
Probably thankfully.
Not sure I could stomach the UN slapping themselves on the back while looking the other way.

FAT

The real problem is physics.

Girth is determined by an individuals resistance to atmospheric pressure (ap). My resistance to ap is low therefore the pressure pushes on my surfaces making me appear slim. Fat people have a high resistance to ap so they spread out. Light people have a high resistance to gravity. Heavy people have little resistance to gravity.

Food has nothing to do with it. We can balance the scales by banning atmospheric pressure and gravity.

"Stop the atmospheric pressure and gravity now! It's for the children!"

From what I hear, the building is a rapidly-deteriorating lemon. Knock it down and rebuild. Probably cheaper than disinfecting the place, too.
