Serious Question: What do you think about the Germans?

I have lived in Germany for two years. I have met some extremely nice Germans - very thoughtful and charming. I have also met some unbelievably rude Germans. I imagine it's the same way every place in the world.

To give you an honest answer, I don't know any German.

The French seem to forget that they (and all of Europe) would be called "Germany" and would be ruled by Nazis today if American's had not gotten involved in WW2.  They hate everything about America- ironically.  I think it is beyond snobbery.

Yes we know this already. The Mexicans lost a war that they foolishly believed would win and they paid for what they lost both with blood and money.\n\nThe people who keep saying "the border crossed" them are idiots and/or sore losers. If they were German they'd complain about Alsace-Lorraine and western Poland not being Germany's cause of World War I and II.\n\nTo cufin01... The Germans were also made to surrender at gunpoint... Duh. All wars end with one side being FORCED to surrender something, or is your liberal utopia too pleasant to get out of? \n\nDo note that I dont agree 100% with how History turns out, but are you ready for another war then (which is the only way your "grieviances" will ever be redressed)?

Haha I actually enjoyed the fight.. as long as Germany won, anything's good.\n\nI think the Argentinians were insulting/trying to get to the German manager, and then the refs came in to split them up and the thing exploded.  It was only like a minute or two though, because afterwards they showed them breaking up and the Argentinians starting to cry.  I think they were just bitter about the loss.  And people should get over the Nazi thing.. that was a whole different generation.

Not that those clowns are as competent as the Germans, but there is a "Mein Kampf" analogy.  Ten years before he did it, Hitler said "I am going to take over Europe and kill all the Jews."  People like Chamberlain basically said "you don't really mean that."  Oh yes he did.\n\nIf you want to be some kind of moral relatavist like Chrissy Hynde and say that we are no better than them, then fine (it's really not).   But if I may quote Winston* "If self preservation is an instinct you possess, pretty please, with sugar on top, clean the fvcking car."\n\nGood, bad,or indifferent, these people want to kill us.  They especially want to kill people like Chrissy Hynde, which is funny.  We need to kill them before they kill us, hopefully after they kill Chrissy, but those animals are so indiscriminate that you really can't count on that.\n\n*Wolf, not Churchill

Firstly Germany shores up its borders and moves into a massive reconstruction programme, this fuels its economy for the next 10 years of so called peace.  \n\nThe Brits are doing well as they do not have the massive burden of war debts that were built up and there Empire is still going strong 10 years later as it was not dismantled at the end of the war. \n\nThe war in the pacific decimated the American population, although they one the war, the loss of life on the American side was increased 3 fold as it was held conventionally and the Japanese decided not to surrender as there was not immediate threat to the civilian population.  This loss of life, coupled with the lack of a cold war with the Soviet Union makes the USA go back to its position of isolation and it never takes a major play in world politics.   \n\nThe Soviet Union stumbles along, but as it does not have the land's it gained at the end of the second world war the money to fuel its economy was never present so after 10 years it is already crumbling at the seams. \n\n1955. \n\nEngland\n\nBritain is worried about the growing political power of the Third Reich, it controls large swathes of Europe and it has developed a bomb that is reputed to be so powerful that it can destroy cities.  Britain steals the technology from the Third Reich and develops a bomb of its own as a deterrent.   \n\nGermany.\n\nWith the development of a nuclear bomb Germany looks to expansion once again, it has its eye on the Soviet Union, and is looking for an excuse to invade.   The rest of the world looks on as both Soviet Russia and Fascist Germany - now the Third Reich which encompasses Germany, Italy, France, ect are despised and the thought of them destroying each other is approved by most over nations. \n\nUSA. \n\nThe USA is now a major economic power its integrations of Japan as its 51st state has worked, and it has also integrated Mexico and Korea as its 52nd and 53rd states respectively.  It is worried again about the situation in Europe, but due to its policy it does not have a large spending on military and is more of an economic force than a militaristic one. \n\nSoviet Union.\n\nThis country was on the brink of collapse, but as always the threat to its identity by the fascist forces of the Third Reich have had an up swelling of pride and the army is growing at an exponential rate.  It is worried about the nuclear bomb but can not get its hands on the information of how to create one. \n\n1960.  \n\nGermany attacks the Soviet Union in the summer, the war was going well, but winter is setting in and once again the sever Soviet winter is acting as the saviour for the country, Germany is threaten to use nuclear and biological warfare against the Soviet Union, and the threat of this forces the Soviet Union to act first, and in an unprecedented act, in the absence of nuclear technology, carpet bombs large parts of the Third Reich with chemical and biological agents.  Germany responds and Moscow, Stalingrad, Leningrad are destroyed by nuclear weapons.  The Soviet Union collapse, however the damage inflicted upon the Third Reich is also insurmountable and this regime also collapses.  Both the United Kingdom and the USA step in and take control America's money is funding the British military and an agreement is set up that the remaining inhabitable parts of these two once great powers of the Third Reich and the Soviet Union will be split up between the two remaining powers.  \n\nThe United Kingdom is now in control of Europe and Africa with interests in South America and the Far East but most of the new world is controlled bythe Americans.  Due to the long standing friendship between the two powers, a lasting peace is at long last known to the world.

Given many of the answers so far, it seems ordinary American people are not that decent after all. In fact they appear to be hate-filled racists who support their Government's use of a concentration camp, detention without trial, kidnapping and rendition to third countries that engage in torture etc.\n\nThere are strong parallels here with what went wrong in Germany between the two great wars.\n\nFor God's sake Americans - wake up! Protest in your millions against Guantanamo and let the people of the World see that you are not all latent Nazis, filled with a grievance and obsessed with militarism and dominance at all costs.

I would say that's an ignorant generalization. And you're being racist. You can't declare that all Germans and Russians are killing foreigners (which is an absurd thing to say in any case).... goodness.

The Polish have suffered and still suffer the most.  I am from a town with about 40% Polish, 40% Italian, 10% German, and the rest of us who were thought of as nothings.  The Italians owned the businesses and controlled about 90% of the wealth (the Germans the other 10%), while the Polish were constantly made fun of and made up the majority of the blue collar workers and menial laborers.

OK, here is my analisis, based on the fact that I have watched almost all games (well except when I am working) and that I am in Germany:\n\n- Germany unfortunately does not look very good. Germans themselves are saying it. They said that their players are too unexperienced and that they would (sic) "need a lot of good luck to make it through".\n- Brasil: you never know with them. Their game against Croatia was totally dissapointing and utterly below their level. If they keep playing like this, no way they will win.\n- England: they were just lucky so far, nothing grand to be honest, and on the other hand they´ve never won any World Cup, and it does not look like it will change.\n- Checz Republic: They have been playing great "closet" football (I mean without the rest of the world being aware of it or without making a big fuzz), so they might as well just be the great surprise. I wish them all the luck really, they are fun to watch!!\n- Spain and Italy: They are big football names, and Spain played really well against Ucraine... Italy was lucky against Ghana, they played better but the goals came with a lot of effort anyways, which is surprising cause Ghana is not so tough after all...\n- The rest of European teams: not impressive\n- The African teams: Good intentions but bad definition\n- Other teams: no chance sorry guys....\n\nso, what is is left???\n\nOH YES THE ONE AND ONLY; THE TEAM THAT ALL GERMANY IS STARTING TO TREMBLE ABOUT; THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS SO FAR PROVIDED TWO EXCELLENT WORLD CLASS LESSONS IN FOOTBALL: \n\nARGENTINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nThere, if you have not read all the rest of my answer cause it was too long, doesn´t matter, you only need this last bit of info.\n\nps: come back to me on July 9th and tell me if I was right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Germans are the kind of people who like their privacy, but will be the first to say "Good day" when passing a stranger inthe street. Also, Germans tend to be more liberal, hence making them very accepting of individuals of all walks of life. Don't get the average German confused with Hitler! Basically, visit Germany during any of its festivals and you will have the time of your life.

I'm in Germany now...I love Trier, Kaiserslauturn, the church in the rocks in Idar-Oberstein, the FOOD, kristallweisen, the people are so awesome...\nOf course, my poor husband can't experience Germany as a single soldier, lol, but we have fun anyway.  We're not encumbered by kids...even though nearly all our friends have them.\nI love it here.  I don't ever want to leave.  Right now it's cloudy, I think it rained this morning...but the last four days were GORGEOUS.  In the 60s-70s, sunny...\nEverything is so green here.  I'm from Washington State (Evergreen state, lol) and it can't even come close to being as green as it is here.\nI'm in Baumholder, about 30 minutes from Ramstein.

Good question... anyones but the Germans, they're always the same aren't they?  \n\nAnd my add-on question to this one is.... Is there a website somewhere where we can check out the new kits of each team?

I do like them and they are used throughout the net. I especially like the Zionism=Naziism because that bares more truth than anyone wants to acknowledge.\n\n Seems to me that you are ahead of the game considering that you have observed that "NAZIISM" in fact has grown out of Zionsim which only serves the Zionist interest and creates a reason to lend sympathy for these repulsive lying people.\n\n It takes a great deal of insight and intelligence to know that Naziism is the creation of Zionist and not the German people. I bet most people don't even know that Hitlers entire army was Jewish? Thats a fact! Do a search on  "Hitlers Jewish Army" and you will find that it was the Jews alone who allegedly committed the so-called holocaust acts. Well , they fabricated most of them in order that people out of guilt would not question Zionism .\n\n  What will happen whem people realize that Naziism is of  the Zionist? Will when then have to pay reparations to the Germans for alienating them and accusing them of the holocaust myth? \n\n I have nothing but praise for the young today as most of them are beginning to understand the truth and are searching it out and revealing the myths that have been perpetrated upon America and Germany. our young are our future and I prey  you continual to thirst for the truth and reveal it to all and never back down. The truth must be know and it seems you know a little more of it than most do. Keep up the good wook...... i agree with you wholeheartedly.\n\nMatt : Yes I do ! Goto Whatreallyhappened.com and also read Titus 1;3-4 and see that God instructs us to never beleive anything that comes out of the Jews mouth, that the Jews are liars, and perverters of the word of God and will tell myths and fables. We are not to love the enemies of GOD. I hate them because they hate all mankind!\n\nMagicman: Why don't you use some of that magic to conjur up a brain. The state of Israel was created in 1948 after the Jews stole that name and applied it to their little terrorist country. The biblical saying of Those who bless Israel was spoken some 2000 years ago before the tiny state of Israel was stolen and created. The word Israel NEVER means a tiny piece of land that was stolen from its rightful people and will never mean a land at all. Israel means a people which have been dispersed from the so-called holy land never to return, and they, TRUE ISRAEL will never be back in the holy land because GOD will give them a new land and that land was America when it was first inhabited by whites.\n\n  That land was Judea before they stole the name of GODs chosen people and applied it to their stolen land so therfore it will always be Judea in accordance to scripture and will never be Isreal..... only in their dreams! Israel is a people and if you really want to bless Israel then you should start blessing the Anglo Saccsons people ,,,, Thats Saccsons from the tribe of Issac before the word was perverted by those who stole Israels heritage and changed it to SAXON so true Israle could never discover whom they are.\n\n Also Mr bible scholar, the Bible says GOD will leave the name "ISRAEL" as acurse unto those whole stole Israel's heritage and give Israel a new name. So ....according to scripture, anyone calling themselves Israel until Jesus comes back is an imposter and can never be true Israel unless they are under the new name. Do you know what that new name is? If you don't know then you are not a true Christian and you don't know Gods true word!\n\n And BTW the Holocaust is a hoax. The Holocaust is to happen to the Christians never any others. That is why it is yet to happen.
