Yesterday, I asked our years ago German exchange student what he thought about the Syrians and his reply was pretty much the liberal mush I expected. He admits he’s liberal (as is his whole family) and thinks only of the positive and not any negative. That despite foreigners changing Germany “a lot” over the past many years, he doesn’t see that the cultures have changed the base of Germany. He likes the cultural mix so is leaving it up to the politicians to sort things out but maybe the foreigners will leave when the war ends. And wouldn’t it be all warm and fuzzy if only “the world would live in peace” with all countries having good economies so that no one has to leave their home (ok, the warm and fuzzy was my addition). He says the German Constitution states any political refugee can stay (never mind that he can’t see they aren’t but hugs and kumbaya!). That the only ones coming to Germany are the “higher educated” ones who will be helpful workers for the economy. And here’s the zinger for the US, he says Mexicans and South Americans are only coming here for a better living.
Why is it a better life here? Accident?
Quick...hand me a barf bag......this guy is sickening.
I talked to a teacher, we were talking about history, and sensed she was of like mind. We talked about the “mooselimbs” in Germany and she told me that she had a foreign exchange student from Germany and he was upset, angry and scared (as well as his family and friends) at what is happened. I know you ran into the ignorant kumbaya Germans but I’m sure there are very may who do not like what is going on. I guess they do not want to break the laws and are waiting for the time when it is time to come out. I guess it is like the old definition of diplomacy, “saying nice doggie until you find a big enough rock.” I’m sure there are Germans who are biding their time and looking for that “big rock” The problem is that as time goes on, they will need a bigger rock but I think there will be a time when someone will say “enough!”
