First thoughts when you hear germany?

[Berithil]

Strangely enough, the first thing that comes to mind are germanic fairy tales ( probably because I'm reading the complete grimm fairy tales right now). Second is good ol' german food. Mmmmm sausage. Oh, then Nazi Germany and the war. I like to keep a positive view of Germany due to the fact that I'm 50% German

 

[Mau95]

The color gray and a very angry-sounding language (butterfly, papillon, vlinder, SCHMADDERLING!) and people in lederhösen at the Oktoberfest, which is a little racist and inaccurate (damn you stereotypes!).

 

[kittii-chan 300]

Well in order...

"Shit!"

"Nein!" That's 9 in txt talk

And more recently:

Spoiler: Hetalia!

Guess who germany is?

 

[aprildog18]

The world "Berlin" and "Leck mich am Arsch" from reading http://www.thelocal.de/society/20110530-35347.html (took me some time to find that link again)

 

[Mister K]

Order, quality, discipline, beer. Those are the words.

 

[CODE-D]

1. the color green
2. genocide
3. cars
4. hitler
5. german accents, clothes, beer

The bread rolls. Seriously it's heavenly. When I lived there everyday day in the evening we'd go to a nearby shop to buy them. Cheap as hell and tastes like heaven.

After that, the flag, the castle near our former house there, and all the friends I used to have there.

First thought when I hear Germany is: "Eurozone crisis"

 

[Hip Priest]

'Krautrock' and Wagner.

 

[Xeldrak]

OH OH!!! and The Police dog REX!

Rex is actually austrian - but don't worry, most germans aren't aware of this aswell..

Beeing german too, I always ask myself how german sounds to an english or spanish speaking person...

 

[Singularly Datarific]

I think of very nice cars (VW, Audi, Mercedes, etc.) and a country that's considerably less stupid and inefficient than the States.

 

[JoesshittyOs]

A blond guy with neat hair and plad sweatshirt standing in front of a large red brick building.

And then the Holocaust.

And then a comfortable environment with a nice fire and large beer hall.

 

[Cheesus333]

Sausages and their associated meats.

Which is pretty bad, but evidently it could be worse.

 

[00slash00]

beer
awesome theatre
freedom
attractive girls

 

[Hitokiri_Gensai]

Honestly, i think BMW, Heckler and Koch, and the Autobahn. That said i also think Glock, although Glock is actually Austrian.

 

[floobie]

My family.

 

[cheese_wizington]

The country itself and that my friend is currently visiting there, as he does every year.

 

[DSK-]

My mum, because she's German. Also, all the pro UT players that came from Germany and the Battle of Britain film. Damn you, dad, for making me watch that film so many times! *shakes fist*

 

[thethingthatlurks]

According to the conventions of the English language, "Germany" is an adjective. This is the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of my homeland. Why, oh why is my country a bloody adjective?!

Oh, and bread, cheese, and beer. It's really all that us western/central-ish Europeans are good for. Well, that and keeping some ungrateful deadbeat nations from collapsing >_>
