00:02 - tipping point

A good immigration prediction model would find the “tipping point” where the percentage of Islamic population nearly guarantees the entire country will become Muslim in the long run. Is that 10% or 65%? I have no idea.
A realistic scenario is what the United States and much of Europe are experiencing. We have to decide the rate and type of immigration that will be good for the country. But if we don’t know where the tipping point is, how can we make informed decisions?
I don’t know if having 20% Muslim citizens is anywhere near the tipping point. But consider that gays represent perhaps 10% of the country, and that was enough to change laws. Consider that the United States is strongly pro-Israel while the Jewish population of the United States is under 2%. The size of the minority seems less important than their level of motivation. Muslims appear to be motivated.
So that’s where we are on this issue: The extremists on both sides are repugnant and/or stupid. But they are the only ones with policy preferences that are rational – based on their priorities of course, not yours. The so-called sensible people in the middle (including me) have opinions that are effectively nonsense because we don’t know where the tipping point is.

German Judge Says Turkish Man's Forced Violent Sex Is 'Culturally' Not Rape



She refused, cried "stop" after he had grabbed her, and then finally she gave up. To most people, that sounds like rape. Indeed, the German paper reported that the Turkish man "carried on the sexual intercourse for hours on end so badly" that the girl could "not run properly for the next two weeks."

"On the one hand, the magistrate's court believed the victim, and on the other hand, the accused, according to which the wild sex was amicable," the Märkische Allgemeine reported. Amicable? When the girl could not even run properly "for the next two weeks"?!

(Galvenais moments, ko ņēmis vērā vistaisnīgākās tiesas tiesnis bija šis:)
According to the report, the decisive question was "Could it be that the defendant thought you were in agreement?" To this, the poor girl — who had given up struggling after she had been raped — said "that could be."

Zo, mani dāmeni un mani heri, kāds te secinājums?
1) reipkultūra ir okej
2) reipkultūra ir okej
3) reipkultūra ir okej, ja esi brūns (diegabikša variants)
4) maine dāmēm arī derētu sākt apmeklēt kačalkas, lai varētu spēcīgāk akcentēt savu pozīciju šādos kulturālos disputos (veponizēta diegabikša variants)?
5) reipkultūra ir okej

In an unprecedented move, Hamburg authorities confiscated six residential units in the Hamm district near the city center. A trustee appointed by the city is now renovating the properties and will rent them — against the will of the owner — to tenants chosen by the city. District spokeswoman Sorina Weiland said that all renovation costs will be billed to the owner of the properties.
Similar expropriation measures have been proposed in Berlin, the German capital, but abandoned because they were deemed unconstitutional.
Some Germans are asking what is next: Will authorities now limit the maximum amount of living space per person, and force those with large apartments to share them with strangers?
