I never said that crime as a whole increased, but the violence reached a whole different quality. You (deliberately?) misinterpret comments you don't agree with.

Stabbing people -which was never a big issue- has become very common, for example. Kicking people when they're down and out etc. Hurting people for fun. Someone I knew was stabbed and murdered for no reason at all. Not even a robbery. Just killed.

Even in fights, there used to be some unwritten rules of respect and common sense, but they're gone. The people who are responsible for most of these violent crimes brought this crap with them.

It's gotten to the point where knives are forbidden in certain areas and knife bans are under consideration.

I'm talking about Germany, by the way. How about you are a bit more open-minded and stop assuming other users' nationalities?

Which one do you want citations for?

These are all publicly accepted problems by now, so I'm not going to do a writeup for all of them just because one person asks for it.

Your downvotes change nothing, by the way. This is not a sinister outlook, it's already happening right now and I'm provably right.

We get more police and they get more permissions, including broader surveillance, and they're looking to adopt tasers like in the U.S. The last few years did this and hardly anyone is arguing it anymore.

The surveillance state you don't want is coming, and you are the reason.

I'm decidedly against government surveillance, but it feels like our government are deliberately inviting crime to further the needs and arguments for complete surveillance.

Now that violent attacks against the police and emergency services, stabbings, rape, murder and generally a complete refusal to accept the law become more common, I'm at the point where unsolved crime bothers me more than protecting people's privacy, so it evidently works.

It's ironic how the people who want open borders are creating their own dystopian future, but are too short-sighted to realize how they're being used.

In the end, the borders will be closed and we'll end up with not only a lot more problems and surveillance that none of us wanted, but the net result of people being better/worse off will also be negative.

B-b-but they spread information that could lead intelligent and informed people to miss the vote!

Who doesn't get the voting date from Twitter these days?

If you are misled about when the vote is by a tweet from an account with a wojak avatar, it's probably for the better of mankind if you don't vote... or procreate.

I'm with you on that. Eagerly waiting to be fed my opinion and then post about it on FB and Twitter. My friends are going to love it and I will feel appreciated.

This is actually a good chance for alternative app stores, because that and the browser are the only essential software you'd be missing from the package, and the browser can be replaced for free.

I hope we see Google Play vanish. Their pricing and the way it's ran are cancerous.

Competition would be good, even if it's from Amazon or another major company. Phones with Amazon Apps and Firefox instead of the whole Google software package? Yes, please.

This seems like a common sense thing that every intern would consider. Why the Microsoft development team didn't really raises some questions not only about their QA, but about their whole development process.

I know completely computer illiterate people who use Ubuntu. Your opinion says a lot about you.

The cynic in me thinks they found a patent in the portfolio that they value at more than 3.4 bn and they can now use it royalty-free.
