BruceVC Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 http://time.com/time-person-of-the-year-2015-angela-merkel-choice/ An excellent choice in my books, guys I know some of you aren't really fond of her but read this article. Its objective Well done Germany and well done Merkel "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead" - Nelson Mandela
Meshugger Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 I would like to congratulate Frau Merkel for successfully ruining her own nation. It takes quite an effort to do so! "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy
Lexx Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Anyone else would have done the same shait. Really, it wasn't much different with Gerhard Schröder. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
BruceVC Posted December 10, 2015 Author Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) I would like to congratulate Frau Merkel for successfully ruining her own nation. It takes quite an effort to do so! Meshugger I'm not sure if I have asked you but why dont you like Merkel ?

Guard Dog Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 This award stopped mattering they day the put a mirror on the front cover saying the Person of the Year is you. I think that was '06 or '07. Personally I think the Person of the Year should have been that Uber Driver in Chicago who pulled his licensed carry weapon and stopped a mass shooting in progress. But he barely made the news because the media didn't approve of what he did: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/04/20/concealed-permit-holder-stops-attempted-mass-shooting-in-chicago/ 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 I agree, few have done as much to destroy confidence in the EU as Merkel. Bravo.

HoonDing Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Why isn't she wearing a hijab? 1 The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
BruceVC Posted December 10, 2015 Author Posted December 10, 2015 I agree, few have done as much to destroy confidence in the EU as Merkel. Bravo. Thats a bit harsh don't you think KP? Who has lost confidence in the EU....yes there are criticisms around her decision about the refugees but surly you can't dismiss Germany in its entirety because of this? Why isn't she wearing a hijab? I understand you are frustrated, I dont agree with it but I respect your views But irrespective of your views of Merkel can you not agree that she does care about the sustainability of the EU ?

Darkpriest Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 She might care but she is mauling it into a bloody pulp with that care.
HoonDing Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 "But irrespective of your views of Merkel can you not agree that she does care about the sustainability of the EU ?" She does everything in her power to destroy Yurop, which I would appreciate if I didn't live here. 1 The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Guard Dog Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 I wonder what the German women who have been raped by the flybitten savages in the refugee camp thinks of Merkel's award? Or those folks who are being threatened and told to cover up and adhere Islamic social mores think of it? But hey, why let the freedom and well being of citizens who have done no wrong get in the way of a good social justice cause right? I mean, so a few innocent women get raped and some hard working German citizens get threatened. to hell with them.

Volourn Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 So... the current Germany ruler has soemthing in common with Hitler. I'm sure she's proud of that achievement. FYI Time Person of the Year is a joke. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Zoraptor Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Nice to see Time awarding its person of the year to a Villain again.

In other words I imagine crime is fairly common in these refuge camps ? Nice to see Time awarding its person of the year to a Villain again. What....why don't you like Merkel? How is she a villain?

Bartimaeus Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Should have named ISIS (they've done groups before) Wasn't ISIS literally the runner up? Or it may have been third or fourth. Regardless, though. 1 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Bruce it isn't that they are just raping each other. There have been over a dozen instances of rape involving German women. That to me is more than enough reason. As I have posted before I would not trade the life of a single American citizen if it would save every man woman and child in Syria. If I have to choose between us and them I'm choosing us every time. "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

Hurlshort Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 While the uber story is cool, it does make me even more uncomfortable with the idea of using an Uber driver.
