Today I had an interesting experience when taking the S-Bahn (metro) to work. Immediately on my stop, a woman with a baby entered the train. The baby kept whining and yelling for mostly all the time, which really stressed out most of the people on the train, mostly due to the mother not really making an effort to make him stop. So when I (and I guess more people than should) exited the train at Marienplatz and got on the escalator, an elderly lady, an obvious Munich born lady turned to me with a very annoyed face and said – That was horrible. The society we live in today, it makes me sick (possibly referring to how the mother did not attend to the child and let it whine and yell, obviously annoying everyone on the train). It sickens me how it gets worse and worse. But I blame the politicians, they all do it for the money. USA starts the wars and we get stuck with the refugees.

An interesting train of thought, since you could not tell if the woman with the child was a refugee or not, but I did not take a good look. Does not matter anyway, it got me thinking, is it really what people think? I know the Germans are not happy about the influx of the refugees to Germany, but on the other hand they get a very good work force for a very cheap price. But yes, she thought I was German, I nodded a few times, said a few words in reply, I wonder if she would not be that honest if she knew I was not German.
