Are you asking about my ability to amusingly alliterate an alternate articulation of another's annotation?

Or rather, are you rendering a repartee, as if to say I'm renowned for my role in rousing reluctantly reticent reproductive rods to rigidity?

Yeah, that needs a citation. I've heard this point parroted time and again, but never have seen data demonstrating it.

Minorities are getting killed by police, whether they're armed or not.

...victims were unarmed in 1 in 6 (753;16%) fatal shootings. Rates among unarmed Black and Hispanic victims were significantly higher than they were among White victims: more than 3 times as high and 45% higher, respectively.

As to your pointed question - I want to be on the side of history that puts an end to daily mass murder events. Which side of history do you want to be on?

It's literally the capital of your country and the seat of your government. How that "isn't Germany" is beyond me.

Anyone know if there are plans for Android cross-functionality? Play Books is one of my last de-google'd hold outs.

No, I fully understand the point. By "German" you mean Fachwerkhäuser, Oktoberfest, Lederhosen and Dirndls, Bier Steins and Weißwurst, and you're correct, these cultural symbols are not characteristic of Berlin - these are Bavarian. There is so much more to German culture than Bavaria though, despite what the Bavarians think.

But that's not what OP said. OP Made a stupid claim about how only visiting Berlin means one hasn't really visited Germany.

To your point, my analogy works quite well - If you go to NYC expecting to find the stereotype of cowboys, massive steaks, and barbeque, you'll be disappointed, because that shit is in Texas.

It's all relative to how one defines a country's culture and the lens it creates. Just because someone has myopic expectations does not mean that NYC is less American than anywhere else in the US. The same holds true for Berlin and the rest of Germany.

Waaaaaaah someone else doesn't liiiiiike me. My heteronormative Christian toxic masculine riiiiiiiights, you're preeeeeejudiceddddddd. Waaaaaaaahhhhh.

That's you. That's what you sound like.

Cops, white people, men, and christians have all the fucking power in the US.

Everyone in the neighborhood is now safer because that fucktard can't go blowing holes in his walls when he gets scared at night.

Lol.

It's like saying you didn't visit the US because you only went to NYC, but not Texas.
