Most Germans do not drive automatics

To get a drivers license, we should have to prove we are not a member of a murderous death cult. I don’t think that’s too much to ask.

I’d expect to see “wilkommen” in some form.

Germans speak German amongst themselves, English with everyone else. More refugees would speak English than German.

> This mentality of national suicide is baffling. <

The Germans evidently think that if they wait it out, these cultural problems will go away. They’re wrong in thinking that.

An immigrant family from, say, Russia would no longer be Russian after a few generations. They would be Germans. But a Muslim family will always be Muslims, first and foremost.

“I just wonder how that sounds in German...”

“Wir haben eine vorläufige Angabe, aber es ist eine laufende Untersuchung, so dass wir auf die Situation eingehen werden nicht bis wir weitere Informationen haben!”

It sounds just as stupid, LOL!

>>Most Germans do not drive automatics<<

True, even most rental cars are manual transmission. Last business trip to Germanistan I rented a sweet Mercedes stick shift. Fortunately I drive a manual car at home. Only terrifying part was the 2+ hours trip back to the Munich airport in early morning pea soup, yet all the vehicles on the autobahn still traveling at 140-160 kph or better...a white knuckle experience.

Probably true, but I’m always amazed how every hell-hole country and then some always have protestors of every type with banners in English.

Really?

Personally, I think they’re hoping WE see it so we can read and get the affront to OUR country in the process. Feel the hatred.

Ah, you don’t like having to pay attention to that stick in tight situations, huh?

They’re mostly manual because it’s cheaper. I’ll guarantee it. Just like they don’t have ice.

I’ll take my ice and my auto-trans, thank you very much.

"I wonder if population density is a factor here. There is a reason that the most pathological of societal forces are concentrated in large cities."

I've believed that since a late teenager when reasoning kicked in. It was obvious to me then and more so now, that the more people - the more problems grow exponentially. Just a cursory glance at rural America vs large city America shows it. Depending on the demographics of suburbs, they can go either way.

Example: North Orange County, CA suburbs are very crowded and has a large illegal population - they vote democrat for goodies. South Orange County has open spaces and mostly citizens - they vote conservative while being producers.

But the murder rate in Germany is supposed to be low!

According to liberals the only murders that count are those with guns apparently.

BLD reporting this is being treated as a terror attack. Occurred in a “pedestrian only” area. No vehicles are supposed to be there. 6 people injured are in life-threatening condition. Kill rate will probably go up.

Check this out...

“A demonstration of 1,500 Kurdish people through the center of Münster has been canceled.”

Wonder if that demonstration had anything to do with this attack...?
