Cripes, you sure are making a large number of posts to show how little you care and to minimize the significance of it.

German authorities said on Tuesday that coordinated attacks in which young women were sexually harassed and robbed by hundreds of young men on New Year’s Eve in the western city of Cologne were unprecedented in scale and nature.

The assault, which went largely unreported for days, set off a national outcry after the Cologne police described the attackers as young men “who appeared to have a North African or Arabic” background, based on testimony from victims and witnesses. More than 90 people have filed legal complaints, the police said on Tuesday.
 
No you convinced me. I recall what I said. This is of paramount importance and we all should pay attention to it, Wolfgang in particular. Gonna wait 24 hours and if there will be no thread I will make one. Then we get serious about this problem. Analyse it and think of something, some brainstorm.

It is indeed and the incident and its repercussions are dominating the headlines in the German media today. Here is a link to an English article in Der Spiegel:

http://www.spiegel.de/international...xual-assaults-on-new-years-eve-a-1070583.html

It provides much the same information as the article 16.5 posted and also emphasizes the consequences this high profile incident might have on public opinion regarding German immigration policy.

While I understand ryu238's posting history and reactions to it, in this case I am disappointed that his OP was buried in this thread. Considering its exposure in the media and relevance to current events in Europe, I think this incident well deserves its own thread.

Indeed. In addition to the sexual assaults, there was misuse of fireworks on an also quite extreme scale. Just heard that a cousin of mine was injured there by some "rocket" deliberately fired at her, seriously enough that she had to spend the turn of years in hospital. :(

This is from the (general) scene where also the assaults happened, but much earlier, hours before midnight:

Sorry to hear about your cousin. :( In case you have not seen it, there is a rather unpleasant to read eyewitness account on the main page of the Sueddeutsche.

Similar incidents on a smaller scale are also reported from other German cities, including Hamburg.

As for Cologne, local police maintains that the large crowds and confounding situation made it difficult for them to recognize criminal activity, but the overall assessment in the media seems to be that there simply wasn't enough police around to provide protection.

Thanks, she's fine and went home after some first aid to the wound at her leg. I guess she was "lucky" to not get into what the Süddeutsche article describes, as being hit by fireworks is much less disturbing, something that simply can happen if you choose to spend Silvester in the middle of a large city - although accidently, one should think.

As to the culprits, there have been similar descriptions to those from the girl in SZ, which seem to point to not "refugees" in the sense of people from the recent "flood", but highly aggressive and criminal (many of the victims have been robbed as well while being harassed) gangs that sometimes dance on the head of the state for years already and are "well known" to the authorities. If they can't do something against that tiny vicious minority that does indeed do what the haters insinuate all "muslim invaders" are up to, they must be enabled to (reports say those thugs were drunk so there goes your Islam btw), At least there's public pressure now.

Nice, attack the source instead of arguing why it is wrong...

Not the point. Nobody would be complaining if you were using a real news source. The ones you go to and regale us with are not real news sources, they are old fashioned propaganda machines for fascists and racists. Those sources you like are not reliable, not fact checked, not real news sources, not objective. They are pathetic bits of fecal matter meant only for racists and fascists, not for rational people.
 
ryu238 said:
I explained it uses an unnamed source. Again you seem to not be able to read if you ask my reasoning after in said it. Isn't that a sign of it being phony. Also you have no evidence that I am not being truthful.

If it contains an unnamed source and you quote it, the very reasonable assumption is that you do not understand OR actively choose to ask what we think of what is purely the incompetent ramblings of ******** and deserves and should get no attention.

Sadly this was a stopped clock moment.
 
How come? From what I've seen you hit bullseye with that topic, which does not happen often. Grats yourself, no irony. The idiots are everywhere, just either they do not think of themselves as idiots or do not appear like idiots. So for myself, go knock yourself out ryu238, at least you flush them out for me. Thanks for that, no sarcasm.

Thanks Pianoro :)
 
See, I got one right here. Considering exposure in media lol *********** lol you study journalism at evening school? Indeed, considering exposure it deserves. lol
 
Yes, no, maybe.

What do you think? You really do know that at some point in your life, you are actually allowed to think, don't you?

Yeah... pretty much every human behavior under the sun is addicting. That's how the human brain functions. Some things more than others though.

What, another "ryu has no brain of his own" thread?

Fine, My thoughts are that this thread should be merged with your other nonsense threads. How do you like those thoughts?
 
If it didn't affect my brain, I wouldn't watch it. It isn't really about the acting.
 
As a person who has studied porn (primarily from a historical point of view with side tracks into cataloging/classification of same) I would say bollocks as do the persons reasonably attacking/not supporting what they purport the paper/study to claim. I will be investigating further as this is a side issue re: my specific and ongoing research. I will add that evidence is strong that some, but limited, persons do appear to have addictions to porn generally or some topic of porn specifically. I tend to leave the psychology of that to psychologists/psychiatrists as my training in those fields is limited though not at all non-existant.


No one here's thoughts on this matter at the moment though as it appears no one here has read the actual paper, though if it can be accessed or, better, downloaded I certainly will. At such time, if there is any reason to change what I have written here, I will do so.

This is either a gigantic brain**** post, very well wrought - well done sir, or I am mistaken due to my poor skill in the english language, and you meant that literally in which case please ignore me.
 
Everything capable of causing a release of dopamine in the brain is possibly addicting.

For instance, I am addicted to capsaisin. Just the thought of chili peppers cause my mouth to water.

According to this article a study claiming that porn doesn't effect the brain is false. Your thoughts?

So, some "researchers" (let me call them "Team 1") are ideologically motivated to claim have found out that Internet porn can possibly become an addiction to some of its users.

And some other researchers (Team 2) have come to the conclusion that Internet porn does not become an addiction to anyone.

Without reading the research papers any further, Team 1 are certainly correct, and Team 2 are certainly incorrect.

How can you you 'research' anything when the most you can observe it for is about 10 minutes.
 
All porn is simply an attempt to replicate sex, to a greater or lesser degree.

Once porn has advanced to the stage where it's indistinguishable, for the viewer/user, from actual sex, will it still be bad for us?
 
Naughty tentacles...

But seriously... Would having a serious and loving relationship with a sex robot be "porn"?

It is actually quite true. I have been studying porn since the late 50's (though what I had access to then was not porn in todays sense). I tend not to like being told what I cannot look at/ read so it became a natural field for me. Due to my interest, I wound up helping teach a class on the subject in grad school and provided AV/print materials for the class. In addition a little *******/prick in the DA's office had recently done some porn store raids and had listed the evil/vile titles of some of it in the local paper and he was asked to come and talk to the class. For unimportant reasons, one of the titles he had given the paper was a mag called American Sex Dog. By a complete twist of fate, I had a few months earlier been provided with a random set of magazines and a few books. ASD was one of the mags so I was quite familiar with it. So, when he spoke to the class I asked what was actually in the mag, he lied saying it was nude women(true) and dogs (true) having sex (not remotely true - not even implied), I pointed out the reality and that wrecked the effect of everything he said before and after. I really, really dislike censorship. That was a fun class!! I also did a report on the handling of censorship including the fun named Delta collections in the branches of the Public Library system of that city that the Library asked for copies of since no one there had ever done an analysis of same. (Friends in low places helped a lot there.) I do not joke about this nor do I make up details.
