Rape in Germany

[abaris]

You didn't give birth to us, you owe us nothing.

First, I'm not the least bit surprised, paulpablo gave kudos for that. Secondly, I singled out this one sentence, since it strikes a nerve. The above attitude would have gotten my family killed some 80 years ago. In fact, millions have been killed, just because of that attitude. You know, countries closing their borders because they owed the fugitives nothing.

It's convenient, if you're not among the persecuted ones. Sitting in your comfy chair and farting out everything you hear on the street from your beerhole. Well, there's that famous quote by pastor Martin Niemöller.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
