German course teaches migrants how to flirt with women


article said:
A German education center is teaching migrants how to approach and get acquainted with local women. Asylum seekers learn at the classes that “No means no,” along with basic hygiene rules.

“How do we speak to German women?” is the question sex therapist Christian Zech has to commonly deal with at the classes with migrants. Zech works with the Pro-Familia center, specializing in sexuality, partnership and family planning. It is funded by donations as well as government subsidies.

Several German news sites have English sections and all will give a better insight into the country than,for example, Fox News.

I don't read the German media to find out what is happening in Britain. Why should anybody read British / US media to learn about Germany?

Süddeutsche Zeitung
Spiegel
FAZ
I don't necessarily disagree with you. Do you feel the same way about where we get our news about Russia?

I am curious to see what it'll be like when I pop over to visit ze Vaterland at the end of the month. May even go & see where I was born and if there are any changes (I'm betting on not many - but probably more than they're comfortable with)

I'm sure it's the same as the UK, there will be places that have gone to hell, others completely unaffected, and all points in between.

Places that have gone to hell will increase with each passing day - that us what the authorities are tasked with.

Isis terror plot in Germany: Four Syrian men arrested for allegedly planning suicide bombings in Düsseldorf

article said:
After travelling back into Europe following the refugee route through Turkey and Greece they convinced the fourth suspect to join the plot.
Terrorists taking advantage of the refugee crisis and using that as a cover to enter Europe - you can't say Merkel wasn't warned about this.

I'd say she knew about it, but that might be too obvious, no? I suspect her guilt over supporting the wars of empire in the Middle East and a sense of humanity compelled her to open our doors -- and in some ways, who could blame her?

A better solution would be to stop supporting the Empire in its Middle Eastern adventures.

I simply stated it would be interesting to see if things have changed and if so to what degree. Be as precious as you like with your 'right on' viewpoints but please get off your high-horse and wind your neck in - oh in to return the favour of insults where none are necessary... do fk off you irritating knob.

I'm assuming that you were the mentally ill person tied to the tree? TBH I'm really sorry that that happened to you, it is disgraceful and I hope that they catch the perpetrators but in the meantime I hope that you recover from your ordeal.

Guilt over the wars, so ruin your own country? A somewhat backwards idea don't you think?

Who could blame her? Anyone with more than half a brain perhaps?

Stop supporting "the Empire" ?? Are you literally away with the fairies? On the moon perhaps? In some alternate Star Wars universe? You think stopping sending troops places would stop anything now?

Surely nobody is a stupid as you are trying to come across?
