Ok what do I think about my own country:

99% of all online gamers are incredibly retarded
(I am the one who banned all german players from a server)

The government sucks arse
The government that is going to be elected sucks more

The bureaucracy here is horrible
(never try to found a company here)

The beer is good

The people here are media-controlled dumbf*cks

The legislation makes me cry

The weather sucks most

The unemployment just reaches 5 million out of 80 million people

The fuel is very very expensive (1.30 Euro per litre - ~60 Euro-Cent taxes)

Taxes are ultra-high in common

------------------------------------------

so overall I'D RATHER MOVE TO CANADA - THANKS.

Deutschland ber Alles!!! (better not sing that over there!)

Ich liebe Deutschland! I wanna go there very badly. I am planning to backpack for about a year across Europe after i get my Bachelor's degree. I will spend lots of time in Germany.

I am currently trying to learn german, BTW. Thanks to Crapceeper for the help.

I've never been there, but I'd like to one day. Seems like a cool place. I know a little german, not that school was any help with that (the language my school pushed was Indonesian... pah).

Well, here in Belgium, when you drop "Germany", a lot of old people still start talking and joking about the war.

Germany itself is a fun country, I think, although I don't really like the nature. A lot of almost-mountains. (I usually go to Austria for mountain hiking)

But the people are friendly, and a lot of cities are impressive (Hannover, Berlin, Munchen).

? quoting Saint
Tell me what do you think about Germany and german People

There seems to be a lot of real quality German map makers. Seems like whenever I've found a quality HL1/2 or CS/CS:S level over the last several years, half of them were created by German dudes.

? quoting ReNo
My only real preconception about Germany is that people there have horrible fashion sense. But then that preconception comes from the "learn german" programs on the BBC learning zone that were made about 20 years ago, so its to be expected

Also the number of Brit comedy series' here that often poke fun at Germans (Faulty Towers, Harry Enfield, etc - 'no sense of humour', 'get all the deck chairs on the beach', and so on)

Well, some former DRR-regions are dirty because of the commies messing things up in the fifties.

Forceflow;

nah its DDR; like the RAM

There are a few cities considered very beautiful over here. As long as one is used to it he never recognises it. At least I don't. I live in one of the most decent and beautiful places in Germany; and tell you what: I don't care.


After the last world war there was one thing taken from Germany. National pride. Thats why there are 5M unemployed people around. Because nobody is keen on working in a country he isn't proud of.

I just was out for a walk. And I came to think about it. So far I realised: I'm not proud of being a German. But again: These days I ain't proud of anything.

Just in case Germany tries to take over Europe again, and finally succeeds in taking Britain.

Most of them are nice people, nice langua, beats french, and offcourse they have BMW.

The only thing that bothers me is that a few of them lack any respect for others.

2 weeks ago i was visiting camp Westerbork, some of you may know this as a deportation camp of jews, gays, and prisinors of the Germans in The Netherlands.

When i stood looking at the monument build for the 100.000 jews that got deported to auswitsch from here a car arived. It had a german number plate, i already though that this was queer since there was a hughe sign at the start of the road wich said there was no motorized traffic allowd, wich the explecition of the bus from the parking to the camp.

They even parked the car in the middle of the camp, they walked to the monument, a old lady was talking, couldnt understand about what they where talking, only the father of the family seemed interested, the other people looked bored and disrespectfull.

Eventualy they where gone before i finishd the walk through the camp. When thinking about it it still makes me angry, how can people be such jerks?

even though the old lady walked badly, she still walked faster then i was. And offcourse there is a hughe radio telescoop moving through a small bit of the camp, and each time a motorized vehicle passes it can distort the radio signals.

my 2 cents, though mind you, most germans arent like this. Those whom i met at work are respectfull and humble. They behave better then some countrymen do.

hahah, did anyone catch the recent episode of Family Guy on [adult swim]?

Where stewie and brian end up in germany and the yare taking a tour. They are handed pamphlets that hav germany's histry and bran is like "why is it just blank from 1935 to 1946?" and the tour guide is like "NOTHING HAPPEND! WE WERE ON VACATION! WE WERE ALL SLEEPING! NO MORE QUESTIONS" and brian then says "hey is that a bar? and the guy is like "yes, we germans have best beer in the world".

I thought it was funny
