I got your point very well.

"What I'm talking about is Cultural Imperialism. It's a nasty little habit that spans the whole spectrum of our society. We use our client states as guinea pigs to experiment on and to showcase with no risk to us some of our more extreme social engineering."

I guess the comment which best expresses my view on this article was the one that said that the US Armed Forces were not in the business of providing Germany with a multicultural experience. That's all I meant to say. Thanks for all the cool graphics. Thanks most to the couple of folks that actually got my point. I learned a lot. I'm going home now.

Thanks for the reply. I am in the military and my experience in Germany is they do have a diverse culture with or without the US military. I've met people from all over the world there. So, the article posted was absurd to me.

If the author wants to see countries with no or little multicultural experience, all he has to do is look any Arab, Asian, African, or Latin country.

Yeah, in post 218 he tries to 'imply' that he never said what he did say in post 26.

I am NOT making this up.....

haha! That's funny.

I can't verify this, but I heard that the replacement refrigerant for freon isn't
any better/any different re helping global warming. It has the same effect as
freon on the environment.

We don't have that right. If our withdrawals from Germany make the country a little more "white," so be it...

Unless you're thinking that our withdrawal is an arrogant attempt to change Germany's ethnic makeup. In that case, I'd have to disagree with you...

It's going to be a LONG few months....

Aye, sweaty, too, because we know that no matter how bad a Leftist Socialist candidate is, Democrats will vote for him. Because they are so effen lazy they don't even like to watch someone...like a Republican President...work.

Don't forget the post-election crybaby trolls.

That's when I sing!


I love Trolls
Trolls I love to eat!
Bite their little heads off
And nibble on their tiny feet!

Yuppers.
And they're denying saying anything remotely like 'cultural imperialism'.

Oh Lord. Why am I not surprised? Bet it costs more, too!

Supposedly a lot of the CO2 in the world is produced, not by SUVs, but by cow-farts.

Let's all rush out and buy some "Beano" for the cows..... to save the planet, ya know!

Well, actually it costs less. But the government was/is charging EXORBITANT surcharges on freon to make the cost so high that folks would be forced to take on the replacement. I was a Purchasing Manager for a company for 18 years and was blown away by the cost of freons we bought. Salespeople and our management/owners kept me abreast of the surcharges.

I don't understand why their economy should suffer any ill effects due to US departing.
Don't they have double-digit unemployment in Germany?
So there should be plenty of able bodied young men to become German soldiers and utilize the facility?
