Off-Topic / Will German Farmers change the EU policy? [45]

...thing is we are free falling right now, if nothing will be changed, drastically, we will fall far deeper then "only" place 27!

PS: What do you mean with high earnings? People are pissed off because the new Bürgergeld (the official minimum necessary for existence) is sometimes higher than the earnings for hard, regular work!

PPS: What do you mean with low prices? Remember the price shock of a few months back because of the inflation? Now energy prices and gastro prices will rise again...not to mention the steadily rising rents for the inavailable appartements....and so on...

Hopefully!

The ECONOMIST put the former broke Greeks on top of their economy ranking list...whereas Germany is now far at the bottom with place 27....

We will need to borrow money soon!!!

They are supported by two thirds+ of the Germans too (as all polls show), the local population even going so far and offering them sandwiches in between breaks and such....

Off-Topic / Has Palestine ever existed? [70]

....and it works! Jordan is a peaceful, well working country....neither a religious nutcase nor an economic/violent mess, quite moderately successful...

The same pali arabs...but the difference to the Hamas ruled strips just across the border couldn't be more extreme...astounding!

Off-Topic / Has Palestine ever existed? [70]

....what I always found interesting is the fact that Jordan has quite amiable relationships with Israel....they have even treaties and such, maybe not friends but for sure not enemies!

A sure sign that "Palestinians" in Jordan have no problem with the Jews...can live with them peacefully....with the right leadership!

....but not as Palestinians....they had many names during their long history, as you yourself presented, and today one of their names is Jordanians....and I think that would be a way out for all parties, a chance for peace!

What would you think about the FFK? You know, the "Freedom for Königsberg" movement?

Na ja....Poland was very much in existence before the partitions, wasn't it? Or otherwise there wouldn't had been a thing to dissect....

There never was a real country Palestine whose liberation has to be fighted for and freed! The country Palestine will be shiny and new no matter how it comes into being...

Just look at that map....lots of historical Palestine is actually todays Jordan!

Maybe we should start calling them "Jordanians"...it would clear alot things up!

After all the Jordanians are the same people just outside of the contested borders....

Off-Topic / Has Palestine ever existed? [70]

The country Palestine is still a plan, since 1947, a plan made by the UN which destroyed the Arabs with a war themselves...

The region Palestine is much older.....and I doubt a sympathetic recognition of a plan of a future country cements or proves it's existence!

History / Can a nation totally change its characteristics and national character throughout history? [79]


I guess there you have your answer....there is no such thing as hereditary characteristics if they can vanish only due place of birth!

History / Can a nation totally change its characteristics and national character throughout history? [79]

Question....what about the many Poles with german heritage??? Or the other way around, Germans with polish heritage....there are so many of them!

German stereotypes or polish stereotypes? Which would you assign them?

History / Can a nation totally change its characteristics and national character throughout history? [79]

Hitler was an Austrian!

That's a main fail about nationalist stereotypes, putting it into ever changing borders....as if a community only a few metres left out of current borders can have totally different/even contrary characteristics!

Germany's borders changed so often, the old HRE was so much bigger, only for example....but somehow most of it's then citizens would never be compared to german stereotypes today...just because they don't fit into modern, actual german borders.

That way lays madness!

You managed with Germans, didn't you? Abit at least?

History / Can a nation totally change its characteristics and national character throughout history? [79]


As we are talking mainly about stereotypes and broad generalizations, of course they/a people can change.....if they were ever true!

I even might have agreed with you....last year!

Still a Happy New Year to you too, Pawi! :)

News / Years of Poland in the EU - assessment of pros and cons [1199]


I truly come to believe that will depend on how an AfD led gov would (will?) handle the immigrant-crisis in Germany. Every survey says that is the absolute main bone of contention between a huge majority of our people and our gov...for years now.

Wars and climate crisis and everythinge else is really taking a back seat to that....

Our green/leftists surely expect from Tusk also a more leftist handling of the immigrants, since they have become a minority regarding this in the whole of Europe and look for support now from Warsaw, that should be interesting to watch if and how they will be disappointed!

News / Years of Poland in the EU - assessment of pros and cons [1199]


Well....in Germany we enjoyed years of it and our youth is turning against it....or at least away from it!

Tell me if Tusk wants to open polish bordes to all immigrants who want to come and how the young Poles would react to that....
