Good Grief, as if the Germans have no sense of fun and play!!!! Go to a Carneval or Oktoberfest or Vogelschiessen. Watch any dance show or music festival... https://www.bing.com/search?q=Zillertaler+Hochzeitsmarsch+...+youtube&pc=MOZI&form=MOZSBR https://www.bing.com/videos/search?...0CDB61D4479F316EE2A70CDB61D4479F3&FORM=WRVORC .-.-. There is lots of beautiful culture in Germany... architecture, art, music, theater, universities, literature...
France and Spain are often dirty and chaotic. There is a reason why Germany always ends on top dominating the others. We have the will for power and they lack that. Best example is greece. They cant deal with money. We teach them German discipline now. It is a hard and painful process for them. But its necessary. For all of Europe. We live in hard times. China, Russia, USA. The world is in chaos and turmoil. Its a hard competition. And Germany is the chain and power scoruce that holds Europe together. As for our culture. Our great Nation is so full of wonderful art, culture and other things. I advice you to visit my state Thüringen. We have festivals here that date back 2000 years. Its called "Sommergewinn".
Germany dominates no one, idiot. We have for example much less representatives in all institutions of the European Union compared with the number of people of our population. The little nations have much more influence in Europe.
Only because I am curios: What do you call "other things"? Sex and drugs but not rock'n roll? Thuringia is the nation where "Maria durch ein Dornwald ging" came from - the most wonderful song which was written about mother Mary since Germans exist - and still today Thuringia is conquered from Thuringians like you with Nazi attitudes and a proud Soviet atheism. What about to go back to the Thuringian roots and to start to fight with mother Mary for a free Thuringia with free Thuringians?
I had a lot of fun in Germany but, given my freedom of choice, just wouldn't want to live there. There are places, I'm sure, that you may like to visit but not live. I was there during Fasching and had a wonderful time, hitchhiking around when I was young and saw the Berlin Wall come down as an adult. But it lacked the personal warmth I found in other places I've visited. But that's only my opinion. Others may vary.
I didn't find them especially dirty though from a German POV they would be 'chaotic'. That can be frustrating also. True, but that 'will for power' can wear a little thin over time. A Greek with German discipline doesn't sounds as attractive to me as it does to you. The world is always 'in hard times' and I try to live around them. And yes, it's generally agreed that Germany provides the engine that runs Europe. I'm sure what you say is true, and that there are many wonderful things to see and do. Also like Bach, read The Sufferings of Young Werther" as a moping teenager, and Fritz Wunderlich, Wagner, etc. is among my music collection. No need to defend your culture to me.
I must agree with you in most of what you say, if only because I know people quite well who have been fairly high in the Bundeswehr. I'm sure that you know this, but for everyone else I will simply say that in the opinions of actual members of the Bundeswehr I know, German's military -- particularly its Navy -- has undergone serious deterioration and 'down-sizing' in critical areas during the last thirty years. The current German Defence Minister, Ursula von der Leyen, seems to be much more interested in pursuing the old "Nazi guilt-trip" witch hunt than she does in making Germany a strong military power.

It reminds me a lot of these f*cking idiots over here in the States who are running around, bug-eyed and frothing at the mouth, trying to tear down our old Civil War statues.... You have also probably 'heard' what Russia has developed and supplied at its Kaliningrad Oblast. Thus, you can also easily see how, if Putin decided it was necessary, he could have Russian troops cooling their bare feet in the waters of the Rhine River in a short period of time. And exactly what would today's Bundeswehr actually do to stop it...?! Get us Americans to make the mean old Russians go home...? I've said it before... your best option going forward is to make a closer economic and military alliance with Russia! Do you need a crystal ball to see that, from now on, the U. S. will only let you down...? Hint: nobody ever won a war with "sanctions"....
RE: You may feel differently if you had lived in Germany. Yes, they do have a general penchant for orderliness, cleanliness that can seem a little obsessive to Americans but the younger Germans tend to be more relaxed. Additionally, the customs, dialects & mentality of the Northern Germans are quite different from the more easy going Southern Germans
Lol! I just stormed the Reichstag again in my video game. Seems closer to historical reality somehow.
Germany = fast road on the way to somewhere else. Gingerbread houses, lederhosen. Sex craved women. Renewables all over the beautiful vinyards, Coal powered steam clouds hiding the valleys. Everything costs a fortune, you have to be rich to even live poor. Every car on the road is German. Some bits very clean, other bits pretty dirty.
Your Stalinoid Cyrillic seems to be as good as your not existing knowledge about the liquidatioin of the German Parliament (=Reichstag) in 1933 and the role of the burning of the building of the Reichstag for the history of Nazi-Germany. What you say here makes you to an enemy of the democracy. Who produces such an idiotic software, hero?
Exactly. Speed depends on the situation. Good drivers know this and don't drive to fast. But we made this year new laws for reckless driving offense. As far as I heard 10 years imprisonment is the maximum now in case of illegal street racing. That's a lot here in Germany because "murder" is 15 years imprisonment.
First time I hear something what's positive about the AfD. Perhaps this idiots are not totally senseless. The AfD is by the way a farewell gift from the Brits too. The Tories made the AfD in Europe socially acceptable.
Oh... well isn't that typical of perception... my view of my post was that it's a negative comment regarding the AfD...
What means a leadership of Germany (=part of the rest of the world) in military actions for and/or of the USA (=the world) is excluded. That's great.
No shortage of WW2 games out there. In those games I often play the enemy of the democracy which gave rise to Hitler.
It are existing games about world war 2? Our world is really totally crazy. This game seems to help you not to understand what is a parliament - or in case of the USA what is the Congress. And it was the democracy of the republic of Weimar which gave rise to the Hitler.
Which turned out to be a big lose and put Germany firmly on the bottom. Again. The main interest I have in parliaments is watching them get blown up. The games help me to understand where and when the battles were fought, how and by who. WW2 games are a very popular genre. As indeed are WW2 films and books. You couldn't really find a better documented area of human history. Most of us have studied it, most of is have met people who participated in it.
Crazy world. Learn German and start to study the history of world war 1+2 again if you are interested in the reality of the first halft of the 20th century. By the way: Do you know the real reason why the USA participated in world war 1?
Why bother? Germany lost. Will my learning a new language or reading a new book change that? I don't think so. No matter how many times I replay the Reichstag level, no matter what language I play it in.... Germany always loses.
The problem is the USA - and only the USA - changed the world history and gave it a new direction. And this direction seems to be completely unstable now. Every solution of world war 1 exploded - and still today lots of things are exploding. Why do you for example think it is good that the USA destroyed Germany and the multinational Austrian and Osman empires in world war 1? More concrete: If Germans had had the same population growth as it had the Palestinians since 1864 then about a billion Germans would live now on planet Earth. But you prefer to live in a world without any Germans and you enjoy this, because you like to be a hero. But on the other side about 40% of all US- Americans have a German ancestor too. Is it a kind of suicide what you are playing?
I don't actually care why America destroyed whoever in WW1. Do the terms good and bad even apply? I am always delighted by the opportunity to destroy those who would have destroyed me. I'm quite happy to live in a world with Germans, pleased to even, but they are under licence. Their license to live in the same world as me may be revoked at any time. So really I have no trouble with Germans. Nice people. My German ancestry wasn't enough to stop Germans trying to kill and enslave my ancestors. And it wasn't enough to stop my ancestors killing Germans. I honour them for their efforts. Had they not done so I simply wouldn't be here today.
