Re: Crammers, so true. In my experience, within STEM the biggest proportion of crammers are in Biology. Especially pre-med. I’ve seen it in India, I’ve seen it here. I think the dumbest people in STEM go to medical school. They’re also the most highly-paid among all STEM disciplines, haha.

Yes, because there’s such a clear correlation between intelligence and how much you make. Trump is smarter than Einstein! Football players are smarter than nobel prize winning physicists.
You just don’t need to be smart to go to med-school. You need to have a whole lot of other essential (and rare) qualities, though. Like patience, focus, drive, etc. And yes, cramming ability.

Definitely. If Trump were the idiot a lot of smug people get off calling him, he wouldn’t be President.

I just don’t think that any test (in this case, net worth) whose result is ‘Football player smarter than Physicist’ is a valid test for measuring intellectual ability.

Israelis help German aid workers deal with Syrian refugees
Magazine: After taking the dangerous and arduous journey from the war-torn Syria to Berlin, refugees are surprised to be greeted by professionals from the Israeli Trauma Coalition, who teach German aid workers how to handle the 1.5 million refugees who came into their country.

This is what the leftist/Islamic conspirators are working furiously to being here to America. Trump’s ban would have stopped this savage.
It is impossible to work out who these people are or what they have done before they arrive in the West. Had he not posed for photos showing his evil work, the Swedish authorities would have been none the wiser.

Saying it’s a lie without checking is not fare. And this hard-core site writer is right about the following:
“It is impossible to work out who these people are or what they have done before they arrive in the West. Had he not posed for photos showing his evil work, the Swedish authorities would have been none the wiser.”
I think everybody here understands that this man is “one of” cases, not a unique one-in-a-million snowflake. If Western (citizens) ISIS members often become disillusioned and come back, why can’t you believe the same about not Western ISIS and other orgs members? They shoot, kill, rape, and then arrive to Germany as refugees.

Dailymail is one of the worst UK tabloids, and they very often post fake news. If there’s another source for anything you can find on dailymail, it’s better to post that one. If there isn’t, it’s most likely not true.

Wait, was SB referring to the following?
During a rally in Florida, US President Trump alludes to an apparent terror attack that took place in Sweden on Friday, much to the surprise of the country’s citizens since no such attack was reported; ‘Sweden, who would believe this, Sweden,’ says Trump, adding that the country is suffering from a plethora of immigration problems; Swedish Foreign Ministry asks White House to clarify Trump’s comments.

I get American news mainly from Israeli news sites, so everything arrives with some delay. Have only seen this article about Trump’s fake news now.
Stille, as an Israeli citizen, I am not an expert on UK and American media, even though I am trying to learn a little. Which free news sources are good ones, then?
An additional problem of German news sources f.e. was that German speakers said mainstream news sources in EU were reluctant to report any problems with mass immigration, long after they became evident on the ground. If a newspaper is right wing, it does not mean it’s automatically lying.
