You’re talking about “temporary insanity”
It’s like a Ferrari mechanic not knowing how to make an omelet
It seems like there’s more animosity towards immigrants, but I honestly think it reached a peak a while ago. The Syrian refugee diaspora was ten years ago. Any increase in right-wing extremism is from a general, global fad. They seem to feed off each other. These are just feelings. I don’t have any data
I considered myself white, but a big 9 on blue eyes; nix on blond hair. I do trace my ancestry back to Italy (doubled: both grandpas), but I don’t get malevolent racism; maybe some benign. People think I’m Spanish, or are surprised about my job, but it’s not so bad
Yeah, I saw where this was going. You have a thing against studying.
I don’t know what you mean with the second paragraph. I already don’t believe in that sort of voodoo. Keep in mind, Germany invented much of that bullshit. They still hawk homeopathic mumbo jumbo at pharmacies
I know. I understand German higher education. I work there. I also have most of my family (back in the US) in medicine at various levels.
The US registered nurse degree is usually a four-year degree that involves practical experience, but has a level of biology, physiology, anatomy, and biochemistry that the German regiment has no time for. It’s one of the reasons that nurses in the US can do things German nurses can’t, like give shots.
We could go further and talk about physician education, where someone can be a GP with only a bachelor’s in Germany, but maybe a later time…
My point was: OP’s wife might only need to take the certification test. I’m sure she’s over overqualified too be a basic nurse here. Degrees are generally recognized ever since Germany switched to the international bachelor/ Master/PhD system about 15 years ago
I’m not 100% sure, but might just need to take the Staatsexam. It’s a funny situation because registered nurses in the US go through a four- year bachelor’s, which doesn’t exist in Germany: just a trade school
a little less democracy creates a buffer against populism. Half of the legislature is chosen by the parties off a list (after winning support; sort of like voting straight-ticket). The parties make the lists, so they aren’t as likely to pick crazies as rogue voters. Then, a party has to get 5% of the votes to get a place in the assembly. Yes, the AFD has been meeting that occasionally, but, for the first reason, the real nutjobs find themselves in the lesser parties. On top of all this, the prime Minister isn’t directly elected, so a Trump (who most of his own party despises) is less likely. Germany is having problems lately; mostly with infighting and inter- party cooperation, but it’s harder for the populace to elect surprise officials

And who’s parking at the front, along the right facing the rest of the cars?
Who knows what the target was. A poster above said there was no detonator. He may have been transporting ir somewhere else to use
The street sort of counts too. Licensing requires them to stop for accidents, etc
We’re also not talking about taxes just for residency. The federal government doesn’t collect property taxes. I’m just trying to say there is some effort to not burden them unduly with taxes. Do I think they should become a state: yes; barring that do I think they should they be excluded from entitlements: no. The issue of statehood is complicated. Historically referendums in Puerto Rico have failed. At least some are happy with the status quo
There is an attempt to conform to the taxation/representation issue, but it’s never going to be 100%. Non-citizens and foreign entities are going to be subject to certain taxes within the US as well. At a simple level, there’s no way avoid sales taxes. People have to pay sales tax in states they can’t vote in either
That’s not true. There are technically different classifications. For example, fees are specifically not taxes.
It also feels like it’s something different because they aren’t supposed to go into the general fund, but advance payment for specific benefits

Okay, I see what you were saying now. Obviously, someone can be insane before, during and after the crime as well. I thought you were excluding chronic insanity with the last sentence
