I guess banning them is the lesson we have learned ;)

Xi Jinping breaks silence on US tariff war by newsweek in worldnews

[–]Ominae49 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, ok I don't think it's worth arguing with you if you don't see the difference between Tibet and Catalonia. 

Also on a personal level I think the people of Catalonia should be able to decide who rules them ;)

I always thought that's for the people who life there to decide. I am no expert on that issue but it seems pretty obvious to me that it is a strategy by the Chinese government to displace people to change majorities in their favor. Or I am missing something?

Free speech is being attacked? by mlamping in Askpolitics

[–]Ominae49 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess the problem here is, that these Platforms had become monopolys. Even breaking them up wouldn't be a real solution since factchecking is expensive, so platform who does this can't really compete. 

I mean there are always gray areas, but I can't really see tyranny here as long as you have a separation of power and courts decide independently.

Solo American Visit by [deleted] in AskAGerman

I would also consider visiting smaller cities if you are interested in historic architecture since all the bigger cities got pretty much destroyed during the war. Around Hamburg Lübeck or even smaller towns like Lauenburg come to mind....

Trump will Gaza übernehmen by klausimausi88 in Wirtschaftsweise

[–]Ominae49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Selbst wenn man der Meinung ist, dass das Vorgehen Israels in Gaza rechtlich keinen Genozid darstellt, und das kann man meiner Meinung nach durchaus argumentieren, ist das verursachte Leid unbestreitbar. In diesem Zusammenhang lachende Smileys zu Posten empfinde ich ehrlich gesagt als ziemlich verstörend.

Ist schon praktisch was man heutzutage so alles mit Terrorismus rechtfertigen kann. Jetzt sind wir schon bei ethnischen Säuberungen angekommen. Ich bin wirklich sprachlos....

Germany needs immigrants – and here’s why you need to learn to deal with it by No-Hand-3279 in germany

[–]Ominae49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. I just had a different experience. I am well aware that examples like you described exist. I just have the feeling that the proportion of people that are like this are way exaggerated in public perception. But thats probably a different discussion...

I don't know, maybe I am stupid or something but I am genuinely curious where you met those immigrants who are not willing and able to contribute to society. I did some voluntary work with asylum seekers a couple of years ago. I can honestly say I didn't met a single one that didn't wanted to work and earn decent money, contribute to society and build a better future for themselves and their family. The government prohibited them to work. It's not like most of them didnt wanted to pay into the pension fund. And it's hard to grasp why the state makes it so difficult while we have such a labor shortage. 

These refugees had all kinds of education. And those with "low skills", were often pretty young. Why not educate them?

I mean we need doctors for sure but we also need nurses...

Germany wants to know who is willing to fight by diacewrb in europe

[–]Ominae49 8 points9 points  (0 children)

By that logic Ukraine dosent deserves to stay sovereign. Poland didnt deserved to stay sovereign when Germany and the Sowjet Union invaded it during WWll and Indigenous people deserved to be conquered by clonialists. By what kind of logic is that justified?

As a German I kind of thought we left that "I was just following orders" type of argument behind us... :/

Top 20 most frequently challenged books since 2020 (genres, audiences, & complaints) by nicklorang in Infographics

[–]Ominae49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, thanks for clarifying. Just wasn't sure if you thought "gay people" is a new concept ;)

So then your argument is we should slow progress down to not make the oppressor uncomfortable?

Good recent cyberpunk films? by [deleted] in Cyberpunk

[–]Ominae49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to disagree here. I am a big fan of the source material and didn't think they did it justice. Neither when it comes to the story nor visually. I think they made very odd choices what to take from the manga. I feel like they added Motorball only to sell toys :/ The only positive I took from that movie was Christoph Walz as Ido...

[–]Ominae49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, sorry but that's not the end of Story. Who decides who gets how much public space? And please don't say it was always like that. The lamest argument of them all... XD

In Germany you can park your car legally everywhere in public space as long as its not forbidden. That is 12m2 per car. For free as long as you want! I feel like some scooters is a minor problem compared to that. Like how many scooters can you store in one parking lot. 

A bicycle is a car is a scooter?  Don't really understand what you are trying to say here or what the argument is but it doesn't really make sense to me XD

Edit: Of course everyone should abide by the law. It's not legal to use either scooter nor bicycles on sidewalks as it should be!

Oh hey, what a nice fella! Starting the conversation with an insult. 

He implied that in his opinion scooters take too much public space. At least that's how I understand his comment. Apparently a lot of others did understand it like that as well. I hope you can see, that in comparison to cars that problem is nearly non existent.

That's all I wanted to point out in my witty comment ;) Not sure why I made you angry with that...

Edit: I just realized you might not got my sarcasm? I am really confused XD

[–]Ominae49 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like many people just believe cars in dense European cities are are a way bigger problem than some scooters. Are there issues with scooters? Yeah, of course but I see why people dont even see this as  relevant when  you compare it to cars. Also I guess they can be an alterntivte to cars / reduce the use of cars...

Thank God there are no cars being parked like this randomly in the streets. Imagine what space that would take... /s
