C.E I speak german, I am German, and I just got my shiny new passport with holograms and everything after my old one ran out, the trek to the embassy was worth it :P
Being German I take offense at any anti German views being posted here, it's been a long time since the war and we should let the past lie in peace. None of us modern Germans are affiliated with the old German regime apart from those retarded Neo Nazi f*#%s and the only becuase they're too stupid to realise what terrible things were committed so please just drop it guys. :cry:

i don't know anything about cars, but if you want good beer you'll have to go search it in one of those tiny countries next to germany.
you know you are german when you never think you can't eat that next plate of sauerkraut.

Agreed. I'm German, too, and I just can't see the point of this thread. Everyone seems to be taking their ridiculous prejudices out for a walk.
Also...is it my imagination or are their Americans out there for whom everything is about armpit hair?

Well, don't ask me. It always seems to be one of the first things to be mentioned whenever a bunch of Americans decides to go on a Germany bashing spree. Looks like Americans take their body hair seriously :shock: .

The cars-and-beer-thing is kind of stereotypical, too, even if it's a positive stereotype. In truth, I think Japanese cars are somewhat more reliable, and I *hate* beer (even if I do like festivals). But I'm still somewhat fond of my country :D .

What is this place called Poland you speak of it's all Germany... :P
jk
We haven't invaded that place in a long time.
Yes I can see the funny side too.
Oh and I doon't get the armpit thing either, not much armpit hair on the germans I know :wink:
Its not the armpit hair on the German men we find odd its the bushy pits I've seen on the women! :wink: That aside though Germany is a great nation I lived in Fulda Germany for 3 years while in the US Army.
The Germans treated me great in Fulda, good people. :D

I know. I am female, so it does concern me. You see, the only reason I shave my armpits is because I'm afraid of other people's reaction if I don't, and it makes me feel like a conformist whimp :? . I think the world would be a much better place if everyone lost their fear of body hair. There's no logical explanation why people find it disgusting, it's the same stuff that's perfectly socially acceptable when it's growing on your head.
See, you've hit on my pet peeve :P .
Alluhaland: I think Germany only invaded Poland once, but it was enough to build a reputation. 8) .
This is one of the stupidest threads I have ever seen:
1. It encourages people to judge a whole nation by their prejudices
2. It provides a platform for people like Yugolsavia and Ernst_Rohm so that they can use nazi terminology
In my opinion NS should be a game of different political ideas that is being played by people form all around the world… a multicultural game.
There should be no room for reminding us of the old barriers in Europe, especially not in this provoking way.
We have overcome the old beliefs… This is illustrated by ten eastern European countries having joined the EU at May 1st this year.
This thread leads to nothing… the mods might as well close it!
I can give all the Americans an example (definitely not my own belief though):
How would you like this phrase?
You know you are American when you are fat, ignorant, arrogant and have an undemocratic corrupt government.
Do you get my point?
Nobody can judge a whole people... and it is not funny it's offending!

I quite agree, but if you look at the last page, you'll find that the focus of this thread has shifted. Current topics include international views about armpit hair and German history :). I think it would be a pity to lock it.

Well, some of them are kind of... smallish. Not that size matters, mind you

Didn't Prussia aquire those areas waaayyy back when there wasn't a German state but just a gazillion smaller ones? On the other hand, I think I forgot about WWI. Bad me.
Cheer up, I don't think you're making things worse, either.
