    German flirt courses for refugees

    http://deutsche-wirtschafts-nachrich...n-deutschland/

    The translated bit still leaves out sufficient context. Any Germans know what is going on? Is the article exaggerated or is public funding actually being wasted on teaching foreigners how to act appropriately in Germany?

    edit: fixed link

    Such things have existed in Europe for decades, as far as I know. Not sure about Germany specifically though, but it makes sense to help people integrate within the new culture by teaching it to them.

    No they did not. Maybe in Sweden but not everywhere. And yes, it's true.
    It is abut sexual education and how to treat women, not how to better flirt.

    Some politicians and NGOs think this will prevent and/or stop the rising of sexual harassment and abuse / crimes. It's a kind of an utopian idea.

    Public funding is indeed used for teaching foreigners how to act appropriately, it's called "integration policies".
    As for it being wasted or not, well, I've seen it being wasted for worse things, so they are free to use my taxes on printing a few leaflets if they think it'll help.

    Lesson 1: Rape isn't the best way to convey your feelings.
    Lesson 2: Neither are any other forms of sexual assault.

    Yeah, i wish them best.

    Yeah, I mean, if they are recognizing this as a major problem, I would argue it's better to lower/eliminate the influx of refugees. This sort of "education" seems unlikely to have any real impact. The cultures are far too different.

    They might, actually. Depends on how they are going to be implemented.

    Is this about learning how flirting is done in the culture? Should you not learn more before you try flirting with women from a different culture? xD

    flirt course is a nice name for 'do not act towards our women, like you do in your third world country' course

    I vote for mass deportations instead. Protect your women first germans, then maybe worry about a refugees feelings. Stop acting like beta cucks.

    The word "flirt" was simply used for clickbait.

    The actual posters have nothing to do with flirting, and have sadly proved themselves to be necessary.

    Does anyone actually think this is really going to deter anyone?
