Really interesting! Tho it's not hard to envision a not-so-far future where these "stool-tests" are so cheap and automated that they are done in every street, then every block, then every apartment/house/hotel-room!

Germany will have around 1M refugees in 2015 alone. Maybe 1.3M in 2016, maybe 1.7M in 2017? Considering most asylum seekers will bring their families(let's average 2 people more each one) along afterwards. That's only considering

IMO a culture is not just a set of protocols or rules written down by some chronist/sociologist. To me culture is more about how people live in a certain place, their routines, their customs. Again, I'm not particularly talking ab
