Germany, aka a country of religious discrimination

we all experience it all over the world and now, this morning in fact, Polina and I witnessed it today.

We were in the train on the way to school / work this morning when the ticket inspectors barged in, they were mean, they were hairy, they were loud. All signs pointed to trouble. We've seen them fine mothers with kids, we've seen them fine foreigners who have no clue, the poor, the old, the weak - all fined.

So how would the people dressed in religious attire fare? A fine for sure we thought, perhaps some mild beating as well.

But no - shock, horror! They let the nuns off with a *gasp* warning! No one ever gets off with a warning...

Unheard of, aghast with the shock of what has just happened the entire carriage stares at the slightly embarrassed nuns and everyone thinks to themselves - religious discrimination!
