We read and hear here in the USA about the disgusting incidents in front of the Cologne Central Station and elsewhere. I can't help wondering: Were there only Arab men and German women outside the station that night?Were there no male travelers? Were they all at home drinking tea with their mothers? Or did they, in a postmodern act of separation between the sexes, sneak out through the rear exit? Honestly now: WHY DID GERMAN MEN NOT rush TO THE RESCUE OF THEIR FELLOW COUNTRYWOMEN? Or why do we not read or hear about that. Is our society so screwed up that men have lost their God-given instinct to protect their women? In other words: Are there no gentlemen left in Germany, just plebs -- or do today's reporters no longer know the difference between the two? - Uwe Siemon-Netto
