Merkel is Time's person of the year

[MERIZoC]

Oh yay government control over people's lives, sounds fun.

People need to fucking assimilate into the culture of the country they're moving to. It would apply me to Westerners as well. So don't start this dictatorial government bullshit.

Define assimilate.

[Angleter]

I think it should've been al-Baghdadi (likewise in 2014). Though it's supposed to be given to the person who's most influenced the news 'for better or worse', I get the impression that Time are unwilling to actually give it to him, or any other jihadi (Osama bin Laden never won, for instance), or indeed any other Islamist. Which is odd, considering that the rise of Islamism and jihadism is one of the defining features of the century thus far.

And after all, they haven't given the accolade to anyone so unambiguously awful since Hitler in 1938 (even Stalin was on our side in 1942).

How far do you want them to assimilate? Like, start drinking beer and not praying?

Get your filthy common-sense away from me Islamophobe!

Muslims can't assimilate?

[Kauthar]

the isis leader was 2nd...

[Zoice]

2013 winner.

AWWWWW. *Snaps finger.*

...Can we vote him again? Pweese?

AT LEAST HE'S BETTER THAN MERKEL!!!

Better than Merkel? Is Merkel worse than the leader of an institution based around misogyny, homophobia, sexual repression, and incidentally happens to have a few pedophile cabals?

(I don't really care much about Merkel, but I really really dislike the Pope.)

[Napkiraly]

Surprised they didn't just go with Jenner to look good.

At least Merkel hasn't murdered anyone.

*Misdemeanour manslaughter.

Nobody said that they can't. They should though.

*pumps shotgun while flying CSA flag* isn't that what dem ebil muslims are turning her into?

Nobody said that they can't. They should though.

Again, how far do you want them to assimilate? Like, drinking beer and not praying?

Muslims can't assimilate?

omg... this is painful.
Muslims find it harder to assimilate, as lots come from shitholes with honour killings, no women's rights and sharia law. Plus Islam is inherently evil, but that's a topic for TG or another thread.

And at the end of the day the person she killed will not be going home to their family unlike Jenner.

[Visegradian Poland]

I think not killing people and accepting western valueds is a good start.

I'd love to see some stats for this. Also religion Christianity included is evil.

You think a ton of Muslims are sociopathic mass murderers, is that it?

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

Why didn't Bernie Sanders win?

Last time I checked he had won the poll.

The poll is only by readers. The real one is decided by Time's editors (or possibly larger staff, I'm not sure).

Ok.

But why have the poll in the first place?

No offence Merkel, but Sanders should have won.

No, just respecting our cultures and customs a bit more. Forcing them to drink would violate their religion, silly.

Muslims follow everything Chrisitans do too. So yeah. And Christianity has evolved, unike Islam. And it's not inherently evil.

Okay, and?

So are most religions if looking at it from a purely scriptural approach.

Oh, haha. So funny. So original. SO very funny.

If they don't kill they're not Muslims according to the qu'ran. So yes.

I guess for some crowd participation? Two separate contests.

Most religions have violent histories, not commands.

The lack of integration is caused by unfitting multicultural policies, not immigration.

Anyhow it's immoral to refuse refugees on that basis.
