1./JG42Nephris Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) (Reuters) - German politicians reacted angrily on Wednesday to news of a suspected U.S. spy in the defense ministry, which came days after the arrest of a German foreign intelligence agency worker as a suspected CIA informant. After the federal prosecutors said authorities had conducted searches in connection with a second spying case, Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition partners said Washington should remove any U.S. embassy staff involved and cease spying on its ally. source Those Yankz are as stupid as it can get.... Lost all sympathies after war criminal Bush, elected Obama Boy, gathered some sympathies back, sniffling their "firends" for actually useless info a second time and risk to loose all sympathies.

Finkeren Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 IBTL Yeah, it's really hard to sympathise with the NSA being butthurt that their giant spying operation got uncovered. 1
FuriousMeow Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Political threads don't last here, they get too heated. But yes, its depressing what is going on inside my country (LE being outfitted with MRAPs! among other things) and in the world of the NSA that treats everyone within and without the borders as the enemy.
sturmkraehe Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 A question for Americans so as to improve my English and perhaps cultural sensitivity: Neither Nephris nor me are native English speakers but is it appropriate in your country to call somebody who is counted as "black" like Obama a "boy"? Nephris surely just did the translation from German to English of the genuine meaning of "boy" (that does not have a negative conotation here in Germany if you use the German translation of "boy") but doesn't have this word a double meaning in America with all the slave history? Again, this question just for my curiosity.
siipperi Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Everyone is doing this on interwebz and think they can stay hidden. Funny stuff.

Interpretate it as u like to, I meant it as I worte. Edited July 10, 2014 by 1./JG42Nephris 1
SYN_Mike77 Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Yes, calling an African American male (over the age of about 12) a boy is a huge no-no. There is one worse word you can use, but only one. It has to do with slave history. If all men are created equal and this person is your slave he must not be a man. Therefore: all African American males are boys, regardless of age. (not my logic!)
sturmkraehe Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Thank you, Mike. I had the impression that it is indeed a big 'Don't do it'. But sometimes it is simply hard to know for people with another cultural-historical background. I am happy to now know for sure. Edited July 10, 2014 by sturmkraehe
Gort Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 I think they were spying to learn about Germany's attack plan again the US at the World Cup. A lot of good that did...
II./JG27_Rich Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) I think the USA is trying to poison their football team. They had the flue didn't they....Or was it the flue? Edited July 11, 2014 by II./JG27_Rich

siipperi Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 I don't get why OP is so offended by this, he must know that germany is spying several countries too? And kinda breaking the rules since this is a political issue.

Feathered_IV Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 I am out rage this by. Strenuous refrain with broken English my anger this non issue!
6S.Manu Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Every country spies on every other country. My country only spies on other country's women. Anyway there's a bigger problem in these days, but no one talks about it... It's tabu as always. Edited July 11, 2014 by 6S.Manu 2

And kinda breaking the rules since this is a political issue. Cause we are not that stupid and get discovered in public....and not even twice in a week, besides the mobile wiretab scandal. An old rule already from school, do whatever you want, but never get discovered or you pay the bill. In the meantime US reaches the same reputation as UDSSR had in 1985. Anyway there's a bigger problem in these days, but no one talks about it Right maybe the new hyper islamic state, USA created in Iraq? Guess Saddam was less bad than what they suffer now from in that region. Edited July 11, 2014 by 1./JG42Nephris 1
Mastermariner Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Insulting the forums non native English speakers won't do you any pride. We do the best that we can, sorry that it doesn't meet your standards. Master I am out rage this by. Strenuous refrain with broken English my anger this non issue!
1./JG42Nephris Posted July 11, 2014 Author Posted July 11, 2014 I am out rage this by. Strenuous refrain with broken English my anger this non issue! Isnt it that arrogant attitude, which led the way to the sympathic situation ...both on the small and the large scale 1
sallee Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 My country only spies on other country's women. I nearly wee'd myself laughing! Brilliant. 1
FlatSpinMan Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Interesting topic but it's just not going to work out on this forum for cultural, political,and linguistic reasons. IATL (In AT the lock)
