A woman constitutes half the society and keeps the house. A country aspiring to build itself should not keep a woman in the darkness of illiteracy and a prisoner to the shackles of oppression.

Quote: Reg wrote:...It got me wondering how German the German team is... Quote: Reg wrote: No. I am totally content with how I have expressed my position, and what I feel to be the total misrepresentation of it by others. You can have the last words. I encourage anyone who cares to read what has been written and decide for themselves.
To compare the NPD argumentation with Reg's, I post here some excerpts from Wikipedia. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Democratic_Party_of_Germany
During the World Cup, the party's web site stated that due to the prevalence of people of non-German descent on the German national football team, the team "was not really German".
Later in 2006, the party designed leaflets which said "White - not just the color of a jersey! For a true National team!"[36] This design was never mass-distributed, but copies were confiscated during a raid on the NPD's headquarters, when authorities had been hoping to find material linking the party to Nazism. Patrick Owomoyela was later informed about the poster after it was noted that the image depicted a footballer wearing a white jersey with Owomoyela's number on it. Owomoyela, of Nigerian descent, had played for the German national team in the years before the World Cup and proceeded to file a lawsuit against the party. The party was able to delay the procedures but in April 2009 three party officials (Udo Voigt, Frank Schwerdt and Klaus Bieler) were sentenced for Volksverhetzung (Voigt and Bieler to 7 months on probation, Schwerdt to 10 months on probation)[37].
In September 2009, another incident involving the NPD and a football player of the German national team was reported. In a television show of a regional channel, NPD spokesman Beier called midfielder Mesut Özil a "Plaste-Deutscher" ("Plastic German" or "ID Card German"), meaning someone who is not a born German, but one that is made by naturalization, particularly for certain benefits. The German Football Association announced that they would immediately file a lawsuit against the NPD and their spokesman, if requested by Özil.
Here are some of the NPD posters:
I really wonder, why Owomoyela and other non-white national team players felt discriminated and viewed these posters and NPD-statements as racist. According to both, the NDP as well as Reg, these players shouldn't be that delicate and accept, that they never will be Germans. I am very glad, they didn't follow their absurdly wrong argumentation. |

Trust the North Koreans to turn it ugly.
(CNN) -- Football's ruling body is investigating reports that North Korea's national team and head coach were humiliated by government officials following a disastrous showing at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
The North Koreans, playing at the tournament for the first time since 1966, suffered an embarrassing 7-0 thrashing by Portugal and also lost to five-time world champions Brazil and the Ivory Coast.
The players, except for Japan-born Jong Tae-se and An Yong-hak, were summoned to a large auditorium on return to Pyongyang last month and subjected to a six-hour interrogation, according to Radio Free Asia.
Coach Kim Jong Hun was expelled from the Workers' Party and forced to do hard labor as punishment, sources told the station. He was reportedly accused of betraying Young Gen. Kim Jong Un, the anointed heir of the regime's longtime leader Kim Jong-Il.

| Die Fußballnationalmannschaft will name its team on Friday. Speculation is rampant that Michael Ballack will not just lose the captaincy, but will not even be on the team. |
