Current Events > TarElessar, I think you might actually be Germany.

(+) Yeah! (+)

@TarElessar

If so, I might possibly have questions for you. I'm curious, though. Are you a German citizen? Are you on an extended visit from another country?

TarElessar needs to do something about all the refugees inside him.

I'm a German citizen, feel free to ask me anything :)

Why didn't that picture of the ID convince you?

The one that was three quarters covered?

Uh, that was meant to be *German in the topic title, not Germany.

I'm not sure what questions to ask you. I've learnt a lot about German history the last 8 months, but there's still probably lots I don't know, or am not sure about. I might have to think a bit.

---

1. How is Germany different to other European nations?

2. I know that Germany has a very strong economy, but is it still a struggle for citizens to get by?

3. How is the alt-right doing in modern Germany?

4. What do you personally think of the Nazi regime and Hitler?

5. Were you (or your family) born into East or West Germany?

6. Do you generally like German culture?

7. What are German millennials like? Do they know how to have a good time, and relax?

8. Do you think that Germany really did have a sonderweg (special path) through history, or is that just wishful thinking?

9. Do all Germans speak English as well as you do?

10. Are the German people crippled by guilt by their Nazi past, or have they generally learned to accept it?

11. How is stuff like freedom of speech and expression in Germany?

12. How well do Germans know their history? Is it heavily taught in school, or do they just know it vaguely?

13. Do Germans prefer native TV, film and music entertainment, or do they consume more foreign stuff?

14. What are popular German musical acts?

15. Is there a shift in modern Germany away from home ownership, and waiting later to get married, like in other Western nations, or not?

16. How do you feel about Angela Merkel?

17. Do you feel people in Germany have a good quality of life?

18. Are German girls better or worse behaved than America, British, etc. girls when it comes to sex?

19. What are the best and worst Germany cities to live in?

Someone showed their ID to Sunhawk? Even if most of it was covered, don't do that shit.

If by "document", you mean "remember", you might be right.

Holy shit are you asking him "some questions" or are you having him fill out a questionnaire

Here's my question:

Beep Bep?

Short answers because lots of questions:

Sunhawk posted...

1. How is Germany different to other European nations?
I'd say our education system is very different.

2. I know that Germany has a very strong economy, but is it still a struggle for citizens to get by?
Not at all, most people make it their job to not have a job; you can easily get by by not having a job since the government pays really well (and gives a nice bonus for every kid you get).

3. How is the alt-right doing in modern Germany?
Unfortunately, quite well; politicians are calling everyone Nazis if they're slightly right-wing, producing lots of pent-up aggression.

4. What do you personally think of the Nazi regime and Hitler?
It was obviously an atrocious thing. Since repeating all the horrible things is a bit redundant at this point, I'll just point out that there were actually positive aspects of the party when they started (so not all "Nazis" were just jew-haters, etc).

5. Were you (or your family) born into East or West Germany?
Born in West Germany, parents from both sides.

6. Do you generally like German culture?
We don't have much culture that isn't Bavaria.

7. What are German millennials like? Do they know how to have a good time, and relax?
I can't stand them; since I'm not really one myself and could never get into their culture, I can't say much about it, but they annoy me.

8. Do you think that Germany really did have a sonderweg (special path) through history, or is that just wishful thinking?
Germany does have a unique history, regardless of whether you'd call it good or bad.

9. Do all Germans speak English as well as you do?
lol no

10. Are the German people crippled by guilt by their Nazi past, or have they generally learned to accept it?
We're taught to be crippled by guilt and basically that our main cultural thing is having been Nazis (slightly exaggerated to bring my point across).

11. How is stuff like freedom of speech and expression in Germany?
If you say anything slightly right-wing, you'll probably disappear or see your career disappear in front of you; apart from that, pretty chill.

12. How well do Germans know their history? Is it heavily taught in school, or do they just know it vaguely?
We're taught all about it, over several years, I got incredibly sick of hearing about it.

13. Do Germans prefer native TV, film and music entertainment, or do they consume more foreign stuff?
I loathe German music (apart from some German rappers like Haftbefehl /s). Most people prefer foreign stuff or try to imitate foreign stuff.

14. What are popular German musical acts?
When someone says music, I mostly think about classical music, so my opinion on that probably won't interest you.

15. Is there a shift in modern Germany away from home ownership, and waiting later to get married, like in other Western nations, or not?
Hm, I'm not very familiar with that particular area since I'm leaving Germany, so can't say, sorry.

16. How do you feel about Angela Merkel?
I personally don't like her since she never goes back on objectively wrong decisions (inb4 u r a nazi). Not saying that all her policies are bad, but she should work on being more open-minded before the alt-righters grow even stronger.

17. Do you feel people in Germany have a good quality of life?
Yes

18. Are German girls better or worse behaved than America, British, etc. girls when it comes to sex?
There's not enough space left to go into detail here.

19. What are the best and worst Germany cities to live in?
I feel like there are pros and cons for all cities, don't think any are particularly good or bad, but it depends on what you're looking for.

Oooooh boy does Gamefaqs love making some questionable people mods

I never said they weren't all bad, I said that they didn't start out all bad.
Did you really think they put "Let's burn all Jews" on their political agenda?

Typical case of "Omg, he's German, let's call him a Nazi" right there.

I know many, many Germans. Not a single one who would ever excuse Nazism in any way. That sure says something about you and your beliefs

@TarElessar

1) wtf is this? :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrCTGon24lg" data-time="

I am so intrigued. Are they a band? What does the song say? Is this porn?

2) according to my friends from PIIGS countries, Germans truly feel superior to Mediterranean countries and Germany caused the PIIGS problems. Your thoughts?

3) since youre kind of alt right-ish too... do you see Greeks/Italians/Portuguese/Spaniards as white? What about Hispanics and Turks?

4) what do you think of the admiral?

5) choose one: Audi, bmw, Mercedes

6) what do you think of Donald trump?
What do you think of he GOP?

Alright, thanks TarElessar, that was interesting.

Also, why are you leaving Germany? Where are you going? I was also surprised at you saying you aren't a millennial, I got the impression from a post the other day that you're in your early thirties, maybe.

Wouldn't be surprised, many Germans are very stuck-up. Not familiar with the topic at hand though, so can't give a good answer.

3) since youre kind of alt right-ish too... do you see Greeks/Italians/Portuguese/Spaniards as white? What about Hispanics and Turks?
Oh, I'm not alt-right, I just love questioning the logic of both parts of the spectrum lol

4) what do you think of the admiral?
Don't know much about him

Dude I am so confused by that video right now.

I have zero idea. No idea at all what is going on in it.

Me too. Its like the cross of a porn thing and a song for toddlers.

Can we get some examples of "the good things" the Nazis were doing in the beginning?

No clue to be honest, I've never really thought about that.

Sunhawk posted...

Often used as one, yes.

Basically refers to the economies of the southern European countries (Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain - sometimes Ireland included) that suffered in the economic crisis. Britain is sometimes included with a second G, and some include Germany as well.
