Off-Topic / Where are you from? [59]

Nun ja....the surveys and polls don't make that distinction....the majority who thinks the Islam doesn't belong to Germany says so across the country.

Only 5% would agree with you!

Before or after the Chinese take-back-over?

It's also expensive and not easy to settle in, even for Germans....

But boring hasn't mean to be something bad....safe is boring too! :)

As a kid/youth I spend most family holidays in Budapest, I have fond memories about Hungary.....but the language....no way!

Travel / What are the best countries to live in? [161]

I like Germany....doesn't have to be Berlin....baltic coast maybe....Erzgebirge.....Heimat halt!

Still one of the most peaceful, well off, safe places on Earth. Elsewhere to hot or to cold or to many foreigners :)

California, New York...or New Zealand....all great places for holidays....but not for settling (for me that is).

Yeah well....if you want to put the death count as an decisive factor if something is good or bad then already the import of Christianity was an error....since then mass killings in the name of god became part of Europe's history for nearly 2 millennia....for centuries it was like "conversion or death"! Followed closely by "death to the unbelievers"....

Fantastic....you are doing great! :)

I always loved the stories about the sacking of Rome! My barbarians....*polishes helmet* :)

Hach ja....the good 'ol times...

News / Poles say a big YES to our European Union [996]

Yeah....that's great...I don't want to take that away from you....but could you maybe try to differentiate between the EU and us Germs?

No matter what you believe those two are not congruent....

News / Poles say a big YES to our European Union [996]


Really! Economic exploitation without additional billions....without cheap access to european markets......ask the chinese to allow your laborers to go in and look for work...

Look for Ukraine when you want an idea of Poland without the EU!


So nice that sounds...I really doubt the money saved on refugees would get to our seniors....it never does!


I know....that's what we get told all the time too...

News / Poles say a big YES to our European Union [996]


And in Germany poor seniors have to search for returnable bottles at the end of the month....

News / Poles say a big YES to our European Union [996]


So what? You say that is if that's a bad thing....

Better than wars anytime.....and better than the Chinese too!

News / Poles say a big YES to our European Union [996]

Na ja.....


I would say the german construction industry.....the german machine industry.....the german truck industry......

But since so many of them have relocated into far away countries (or not so far like Poland) I'm not so sure anymore...

News / Poles say a big YES to our European Union [996]


Nothing new for a German! That's what we get told whenever there is some wondering why we have to pay so massive to everybody else to support their economies, their poor, their whatever whereas we have so many own problems and will never get any support from them....

Latest examples supporting the rent systems of Greeks and Italians....both countries whose population is comparable richer than Germans (more residential property etc.)

*shrugs*

....slowly doubts are rising....true....

Maybe a idea better kept in books....not so much for the real life...

Polonia / Possible Green Surge in Germany [118]

Yeah....I don't recall any GDR leader whose popularity survived the loss of party power....

It isn't that the common GDRian was ever asked for their opinion either...so I think we can throw them safely all in the bin of history.

Polonia / Possible Green Surge in Germany [118]

Adenauer....Brandt.....Schmidt....maybe it's the rose tinted glasses of nostalgia but people tend to glorify these leaders (now)....

Polonia / Possible Green Surge in Germany [118]


A Turk wanting to become a Chancellor in Germany has to be more German than a native....not a chance for a turkish identity!

It's abit like with Merkel....she never, during all her 16 years in power, has done sh'it for East-Germany....Germans totally forgot about her eastern german upbringing. For the integration of East Germany she was a total loss!

The moment someone is seen as "breaking the barrier" for his or her minority he/she looses all the chances to become the leader of all Germans...*shrugs*

For a leader, a Chancellor in Germany, he needs to be seen as a unifier for ALL Germans, not a presenter of a sex or a skin pigmentation or a heritage or some identity or the other....I doubt Germany will ever work that way. Just my personal opinion.

Polonia / Possible Green Surge in Germany [118]

Understood....but wasn't that the idea also behind the cheers and the joy after Obama's election?

A honest serious question....did it work?

Polonia / Possible Green Surge in Germany [118]

....or a bad one!

Polonia / Possible Green Surge in Germany [118]


Just because someone is of turkish or chinese origin doesn't make him a good Chancellor....isn't that racism?


Do you think the US is now better off thanks Obama? Less racism and more unity thanks to more diversity and all that?

Somehow it doesn't look like that at all....at least from afar as in Germany....

Why?


Özdemir blew his chance....there is a reason (actually two reasons) the GREENS didn't even nominate him for their current team...

....and the whole topic about Doping! To many winners had been later found out to be cheaters....or the men who win womens competitions....and countries buying foreigners to win medals for them etc.

It just isn't the same anymore...the only ones who still "feel the spirit" of the Cold War are the Chinese, who still seem to believe producing winners and records en masse in their children-torture-camps is somehow winning them international respect and sympathy! 🙄

Polonia / Possible Green Surge in Germany [118]


Everywhere else....of course! (There isn't any)

But we are talking "red Berlin" here...where the crazies have taken over the asylum....they are even talking about to go to the Bundesverfassungsgericht about that.

On the other hand with Berlin the whole country can see what happens when red-red-green gets to rule in reality....I nurture the thought that was a reason for the massive underperformance of the GRÜNEN and the LINKE party's during the recent election....

Polonia / Possible Green Surge in Germany [118]


I really don't think they will go through with it.....there must be something in our basic law against dispossession by referendum. Not to forget you are talking about Leftists here...whenever have Leftists be able to make anything work??? They are ever always full of promises, needing other peoples money (or homes in this case)!

The last time Leftists offered cheap housing the people were forced to live in totally run down, broken, dirty homes.....till they run away for capitalist homes....

....the same Lefties btw....who can't even organize an open and fair election should be tasked with something like that??? I don't see it working, sorry...


That is all so embarassing! *facepalm*

....not to mention that Berlin is totally broke and the whole of Germany would have to pay for it!

Give....I can find only some news from 2019, as one Berlin Senator Geisel (not AfD) said it would be a great sign for Berlin to host the Olympic Games again in 2036....hundred years after 1936...

Well...if they do it's all thanks to your woke USians....

A student-run Minnesota newspaper, The Concordian, had suggested a "white-washing" of the composer's legacy, citing descriptions of the composer as having a "wide, thick-lipped mouth, short, thick nose, and proudly arched forehead"....

Well... thank you! What would we do without you....

On the other hand I find the idea of Jesus looking like a typical middle eastern Arab much more logical than the caucasian projection hanging in most churches....
