Hi, I'm German. Apparently we're still Nazis. Also we seem to kill Jews by the boatload. Also I'm personally responsible for World War 2. Also ask me why I didn't stop Hitler.
Some of you still behave like this.
And what's this ?
http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/right-wing-extremism-the-village-where-the-neo-nazis-rule-a-737471.htmlIn general I don't like Germans much, however I'm smart enough to know I shouldn't generalize too much, and that each individual is different.
But I've been to Germany a few times, and here's some of my observations:
* Police not having a smile on their faces, same with shop guards. It's like their face says: One single fault, and you're off to the gas chamber.
* Lots of germans are very unfriendly
* I was on a subway once, and there was a 'near death' drug addict raving about asking for money, he did stink pretty badly. Most people turned their heads away in disgust, and mothers hid their children in their clothes. Nobody seemed to have respect for this person as a fellow human being, he was more like some obnoxious creature worth nothing. If somebody came with a mobile gas chamber and pushed him into that, I'm sure most of them would've just've cheered to get rid of this uneasiness in their every day life.
But that man was someones brother, someones kid, maybe even someones father. And with the right (or rather wrong) circumstances, it could be any of the passengers on that subway being put in this druggies position.
* Germans often lack humor.
* There's too much bureacraucy.
* I got a lot of hateful looks esp. from German men.
* Don't question authority..
Perhaps it has something to do with the climate. In general I think Germans are mostly like most people, caring mostly about themselves.
With the right political circumstances I'm willing to bet we'd have Hitler and WW2 all over again, I didn't get a good vibe from my visits.
Most germans are sheep, and would not stand up risking their own jobs/lifes/families in the event the politicians went rogue.
Yepp - from an intellectual standpoint I know that you can't generalize on a group and that you would have to treat the individuals as individuals, but I'm sure more inclined to visit other countries in the future. And you Germans can thank yourself for that.
If I were you, I certainly would not be proud of being a German.
You are one funny stupid man. Unbelievable!
I wonder what city you went to...
