Honey, you're about as much from Germany as I'm from America.

Oh Mann, ich kann nicht glauben, dass ich tatsächlich darauf antworte, aber irgendjemand muss es ja tun. Ich schreib' einfach ganz viel, vielleicht erschreckt er sich dann, der Kleine. Jetzt macht er seit Tagen merkwürdige Fädchen auf "Deutsch" und ich dachte, naja, hat er halt Spaß dran, aber jetzt wird er auch noch ganz defensiv. Dabei erkennt jeder, der sich schonmal bei Ebay umgeschaut hat, sofort den Unterschied zwischen jemandem, der kein Deutsch kann und jemandem, der schlecht Deutsch kann. Unser "Ger-Man" (wie geil überhaupt) fällt ja nun doch leider definitiv in die erste Kategorie. Außer natürlich, unser Schulsystem ist inzwischen völlig zusammengebrochen :eek: .

Too bad your German is outdone by this "English" of yours by far.

Do I understand correctly that you are trying to explain my attitude in this thread with references to my nationality, my country's behavior in the two World Wars and happenings related to the Roman Empire? I'm kept on the edge of my seat while I'm waiting for you to elaborate on that. I can't wait for the Roman Empire one, especially, if you want a heads up on how to please this lady.

Didn't the Romans kill/enslave hundreds of thousands of Teutonic and Gothic tribes over the course of 300 or so years?

Your country started 2 World Wars and killed over 6 million jews in the process and over 1 million russians. Many of your own civilans were also killed as well as every countrys civilians you occupied.

I note that you omitted the Roman Empire part this time. I'm highly disappointed.

I am very well aware of the WWII death toll. But while I quite enjoy creative randomness in many posters, I do have to ask how this relates to this thread, or more specifically to that post of mine you quoted when you first started this line of arguing?

Going a little off-topic myself, I can't help but point out that your wording is slightly off. The persecution of the Jews was much less a by-product of WWII than its end was a by-product of the end of WWII.

You quoted me, implied I were "mad and rude", and then went to explain that by my country's military history.
And rest assured that that terrible stress from the Roman Empire thing hasn't yet gotten to me. I even hazard the guess that my country's past wrongdoings in times where even my parents weren't born yet fails to influence my posts in NS General, I'm afraid. Cold-heartedness is mine.

While I don't share your hatred of this country, I cannot say I love it, either. But you once again fail to explain how a country's 50+-years-ago history is to influence a poster's attitude in an NS General thread.
I admit that even though I had very good grades in both my history and psychology classes, I have to give up at that particular connection.

Rule#1: The estimated amount of armed conflict victims your country is responsible for is directly proportional to your aggressiveness on NS.

Ooh, we got to name calling, this is so much fun! :p
It's not a contest about who killed more people, I was using the US as an example as well. I might have used GB, or France or another country, but I didn't. That doesn't make me Anti-American, much less a 'twatty' one.

Id get into what the germans did in Concentration camps but It would take to long. As well as in Russia. More than a million rusians from Kids to old guys just killed. It wasent as bad in the rest of Europe but still bad

**goes to procreate vigorously so he can win the best thread ever**

Quantity over quality.

Dident kill over 6 million did it? Actually more toward 8million. If you count all the French, Russians, and other Europeans.
It was a lot more than that. They estimate that at least 19 million Russian civilians were killed during the war for example.

But that's not the point. The point is that that Germany no longer exists. There has been a clean legal break. This country is not the same country that commited these crimes.
Apart from the legal issues, the same is true for the people. Denazification was successful, Germans are no longer subject to the same culture they were before 1945.

Your argument that you have to somehow make today's Federal Republic responsible for the crimes of the Empire doesn't have a leg to stand on, regardless from which angle you look at it.
And if it does...what about pretty much every other country? I have shown you the US figures, I can do the same for the French, or the British.
What about Stalin or Mao? You can't make modern Russia or China responsible for their actions either.

You can rebuild buildings..Not lifes,
Indeed. Problem just so happened to be that there were people in those buildings too, my friend.

Id get into what the germans did in Concentration camps but It would take to long. As well as in Russia. More than a million rusians from Kids to old guys just killed. It wasent as bad in the rest of Europe but still bad
It was a war. That's what they're all about. Killing people. Generally you don't go ask people how old they are before shooting at them, do you now? And while we're at it... the few Germans that died in the war... let me guess... it was their own fault?

Quantity over quality.

Tell that to the Russians.

To Neu Leonstein,

I am parying you are not comparing America to The nazi killing machine. Even the most patriotic German would disagree. that is a disgrace and im sick to the stomic to hear that.

It's not a contest about who killed more people
Oh. Sorry, got that wrong. Scratch Rule#1, then.
That doesn't make me [...] 'twatty' [...]
No?! So I kept hitting on you all those weeks and you lack that prerequisite?!

You:
America NEVER killed more than 6 Million Civilians!

Ergo: You were wrong. You dancing about telling me that "you did it too!" doesn't change a bit.

Notice how I already left out the victims of Allied Bombing Campaigns on German civilians. I think I had that one covered.

To Neu Leonstein,

As far as I gathered, Leon was talking numbers. Numbers are moral-free, you know.

I never said Angela Merkel or any member of the German Govenment should stand trial today! Sorry sir but if you listened the whole time we are talking about the past. Germany as a whole history has killed more civilians then america. PERIOD

Tell that to the Russians.
Sorry, Russian is not within my repertoire, and I hate to rely on translators after seeing this thread.

To Neu Leonstein,

I am parying you are not comparing America to The nazi killing machine. Even the most patriotic German would disagree. that is a disgrace and im sick to the stomic to hear that.
Don't try the emotional road with me. It doesn't cut it in a debate.

I agree that the Nazi (note how I say "Nazi", not "German") killing machine was the most dehumanising, and therefore most horrible creation humanity has come up with yet.

However, my point is that modern Germans have nothing to do with that. The country does remember, and remind itself a lot. But you have no case for blaming modern Germany, unless you think it somehow didn't handle the issue properly. In which case I would like you to tell me what could be done better.

By the way...I don't think you will find a "patriotic German" anywhere outside a football stadium.

I never said Angela Merkel or any member of the German Govenment should stand trial today! Sorry sir but if you listened the whole time we are talking about the past. Germany as a whole history has killed more civilians then america. PERIOD

Oy! So I am rather egocentric, but I have to point out that we started this by talking about me and my attitude! I am a lot, but not a thing of the past!

Uh-huh. Ok. So the unified Germanies have single-handedly commited the most horrible atrocities on the entire planet and we're getting back on topic...is that what you meant?

One post and I manage to dissapoint you twice? Sorry hun :p
I deal. Especially now that I know that Thomish explicitly said they don't hate me. Think it is too late to hit on them?

Germany as a whole history has killed more civilians then america. PERIOD
Is that the only criterion?
*(and besides, a case could be made that the Americans ultimately killed more, not that it mattered)

What if I told you that Germany has faced its past, and dealt with it? That the country is genuinely aware of it, and tries to make up for it in its conduct?

What if I told you now that no other country has ever done that? Not the US, not Britain, not France, not Russia, not China, not even Japan.

OK I AM SO TIRED OF FIGHTING!

I thought it was more of a general 'I don't hate you for being German' statement, but I might be wrong :p

Sorry, Russian is not within my repertoire, and I hate to rely on translators after seeing this thread.

Ah well. Don't let your grandkids say I didn't warn you, though, when hordes of semi-inbred peasants attack them.

OK I AM SO TIRED OF FIGHTING!
Is that because you're outnumbered? I thought it was highly amusing, but then I didn't really consider it 'fighting' either. Ah well. Have it your way, I'm off... to the real world... :eek:

OK I AM SO TIRED OF FIGHTING!
Then don't.

This is just a silly debate over the internet. If we pay attention, we might both learn something, and that's pretty much all that matters.
No need to get angry.

So, Neu the Aussie opens on. Is it very big there? I watch some of it.

Don't say that Germany and her warriors have another victim to account for?

For about two or three weeks it's like Tennis is the only sport in the country. Channel 7 basically stops normal programming for the whole time and brings tennis eight hours or more a day.

I watch occasionally because there's nothing else on. Federer's gonna take it against Roddick in the Finals I reckon.

So what part of Germany are u from? sowibi?

I will make sure that my grandkids don't talk impudently to me, don't worry. There will be no blame.

Will you please obey your own command and get (back) on-topic? Or at least stay with one off-topic topic?

I agree

I am talking about Austalia with him. that is on topic as the topic is about where everyone is from.

I had the honor of being born in Lower Saxony, and as my location displays I am a current resident of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Where in Ireland do you happen to be from, Thomish?

That's what this thread is about?!:eek:

I'm really making the eek dude work for his keep tonight

Clontarf, County Dublin. Just outside of the capitol

Oh, the Capitol's in County Dublin? Leon was right, we learn lots in this thread. [alright, sorry. i'm usually not the kind to call spelling.]

And, HMW, nobody knows for sure, but seeing as this thread's title might translate to "where from you?", we guessed it might be.

Well how about that? I suppose it's as good a topic as any, since New-Lexington's "things you do with your things" threads got moved to spam:(

The Capitol is Dublin city

It is? Woe be on my dictionary (http://www.onelook.com/?w=capitol&ls=a). And on wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitol), but their credibility was widely challenged before.

Sure! The whole nation has practically stopped to watch some rather unattractive people hit around fluro-green balls. It reminds me of that porno I saw once.

I hope it is not the fluro-green balls part that does.

I live in Great Britian. (UK)

Ich wohne in großem Britian(Got that from an online Dictionay)

I blelieve it's "Grossbritanien" with the double S of course.

Well, since the "o" is a long sound, the "s" sound would be covered by one of these: "ß".
The "a" is short, so there will be a double-"n, while the "i" strictly speaking is not a short sound (although it's often pronounced that way).

Which gives us: Großbritannien.

What a disappointment.

I get in two last posts on page one of this thing and - BAM, get struck with what feels like my own personal 24-hour forum ban, where all I can see is this thread ballooning to a hundred posts in the Latest Threads thingy on my nation page.

And now all's fixed and I come back to - this?



Well, at least the OP seems to have calmed down, so that's something.
