I'm aware Europe is the spiritual ice belt. Do you think it will always be that way? Atheism overall may be in decline, due to the demographic fact that highly religious nations have the highest 22 birthrates in the world, and highly irreligious nations have the lowest birthrates in the world. That war was every bit as political as it was religious. There were Protestants and Catholics allied on the same side in some instances. Do you think pagan Europe before Christianity never had wars?
Religious nations tend to be shitholes. I wonder why. And no, we never had wars that wiped 30% of population out in pagan europe.
Like the US? The biggest S-hole nations were under atheistic communism. Honesty, peacefulness, generosity, cleanliness, charity, compassion – European barbarians were not noted for such qualities before their conversion.
Just wait till all those Muslims you stupidly let in get done in a few centuries. I wouldn't know about Germany, never been there and don't want to. Glad you rebuilt it after WWII. Funny you say religious places are S holes, Texas is a very religious state, evangelicals alone are 65% of the population. It has a booming economy people are flocking to, and has an economy as large as Russia's. It became that under atheistic communism. They even had to put a wall up to keep people in, while religious America has to put up walls to keep people out.
Our percentage is muslims is lower than yours. And since 2 years the inflow is near zero. So what do i have to wait for?
What does it say about your country if it took a S hole country to rebuild it after WWII? For 50+ years you lived under two of the worst regimes ever, I guess than happens when you have unarmed sheeple living there.
We rebuild our country alone. Who do you think worked hard? Who do you think did evrything he could to make a future for his people possible? I tell you, German women and men. You know what amazes me? Your double standard. What does your god say about insulting and degrading others?
Ever hear of the Marshall Plan? Do tell. You are the one insulting those who died to free your country.
Oh really? So how many americans did your "Marshal Plan" send to rebuild buildings, streets, railways and infrastructure? Must have been millions. What did all the Germans do while you guys did all the hard work? Vacation? I have news for you, it was done by Germans. Stop to try stealing other nations history. Its disgusting behavior. You think with sitting on your ass and sending a few bucks you can claim you rebuild a country? Ok then, start to rebuild yours. Some of your cities like Detroit look worse than german cities in 1945.
This is why I don't like foreign aid, the recipients are often ungrateful American hating jerks. My father in law in Spain went to Germany to buy a BMW, he said it was boring, bland food and people go to bed at 9.
Well he comes from spain, a country where nobody works and just lives from EU money. Of course he does stay up longer, having no work. As for foreign aid, only thing you gave was a loan,,which was paid back with interest. Take your "aid" and push it where no sun shines.
He doesn't work, being a retired MD. ....as I said in post #39. The reason you've been able to spend so much domestically is you freeload off the American military.
You spend about a third as much on defense as we do, despite being very near Russia. Many Americans would be happy if you kicked us away, it is crazy that we have 35,000 troops in Germany, they would be better utilized at our southern border.
I would agree the whole Russia threat is overblown, they are a declining power with an economy the size of the state of Texas'.
