I´m a german myself and while I consider myself politically in the left spectrum I hate extremism in general. It´s not okay to say the left wing is as bad as the right wing, though. They often attract some wrong people, but they don´t preach hatred like neonazis do. The funny thing is that them nazis always disqualify themself when they win an election. They are just too stupid to reign anything. =)Rainforce said:
On topic: I find Germany okay. I love the old cities, the food, the girls and the philosophical and literarily background (Goethe, Schiller, Nietzsche, Kant) as well as the arts (Bauhaus, Dadaism). I also have a big weakspot for goths. Germany is still very big when it comes to gothic and metal.
What I don´t like is the lack of irony (Sometimes humor in general, especially by the older people. But then again if I had survived the Third Reich...), the actual government, the stupid, stupid, stupid tv (Didn´t watch for quite some time. I was very surprised about the quality of american tv shows when I later started watching again, though. Heard Italy is the bottom line when it comes to stupid television.), and the overall Zeitgeist.
But then again: I shouldn´t complain. I´m agreeably surprised that so many people seem to like our small country anyway! =)
Never been there, but all the awesome music, food, and guns that come from Germany make it seem like a cool place.
what's not to like?
I've learned more than enough german to get around if needed be, and we have had tons of german foreign exchange students come from germany, in which they were all awesome, so i'm sure someday soon i will visit and greatly enjoy it there.

Left extremists don't propagate hatred unlike neo-nazis?Zeitgeist1983 said:
Excuse me, but they propagate hatred against right extremists (why should that be an exception?), the government, the police, the "social elite", the "imperialists", the "capitalists" and many more; just because they don't preach against a certain race doesn't make them any better.
The far left definitely has to be compared to the far right, in fact, it's arguably even worse because the far left has more members.
The moderate left might be okay, but so is the moderate right. Comparing the moderate left to right-extremists, however, doesn't make a lot of sense.
Tis the homeland of my ancestors. I took a trip to Germany once, and the instant i touched the ground, i could feel a connection in my very blood, it felt like i was home.
Germany is beautiful, a little troubled still and dealing with some tough issues with more right around the corner, but they will push through. The feelings that you get the instant you put your feet on their soil, the richness of the history, the power of the architecture, the strength of its people and traditions, the depth of its culture, i love it all.

i love Germany. i think it's a really cool country and i love their cars, their guns, their architecture, their language and their history.
i was hoping to go to Berlin this year but i had to stay home due to poverty.

Honestly from experiance I dont particularly care for the people even though I am part german. every one of them I have met acts like there shit dont stink and treats everyone like they are beneath them. Cocky stuck up people I dont like. I am sure there are plenty of Germans who dont act like that but I have yet to meet them and until then I wont have anything to do with the people.
as for the products they produce, they are good quality and allot of craftsmanship put into them. I recently bought my daughter a german chef knife set and am comfortable knowing they are of the best quality.

Objectively, there is no good reason not to go on a holiday to Germany. The roads are nice and wide, not congested all the time, there are plenty of campsites and hotels, which are all very clean, there's plenty of stuff to see, there's the same climate as northern France, so that's fine. Most of the Germans don't speak any other language, but the same is true for the French, the Italians, Spaniards and so forth.
The thing is, you just don't go there. It doesn't have a welcoming feel to it when you drive into the country, or the wow-factor when you drive throught a beautiful peace of France. German is not a very elegant langauge to learn, because it's only spoken in Germany and a few countries around it, and for the rest, it's only good as a langauge to shout at someone, or maybe in the military.
I live no more then ten miles from it's western border, and the only reason I cross that border is to use the A35 to get myself into the north side of my own country.

Vienna is a city (the capital city to be precisely) in Austria, not Germany. But you will be welcome in Vienna, too (even though all people from Vienna I know, are a bit (or more) crazy but maybe that says more about me than about people from ViennaKitteh said:

That's all. You are doing great
OT: I was born in Germany and still live there.
I don't love Germany and there are Germans I like and a lot I don't like but that has nothing to do with nationality of any kind. But I guess Germany is kinda okay. I don't have to starve and I don't have to experience physical oder mental violence. There's a lot that could be better but a lot that could be worse.
I have learned a lot about WWII (more than about WWI) in school and I feel ashamed of what happend, what people from my homecountry did to so many other people.[footnote]And apologies for any mistakes. Still trying to become better

From when I visited, the air is clearer than London. The people seem pretty serious and the food isn't that great apart from the pretzels, but none the less, a beautiful country and had a great time there. So yeah, liking them.
They haven't done anything to me personally to make me hate them or like them. I guess I'm indifferent to them, but I do respect them for teaching a war that made their country infamous throughout the world. Other than that Germany is just another country I can't judge because my country doesn't really have its shit together.
A friend of mine lived there for 5 years.
Very kind people, obviously had its share of assholes but mostly nice. He was invited to a neighbor's home and shared dinner there as a welcoming when he first arrived.
I have an extremely large about of respect for the German people. They survived the ridicule of WWI, the Depression that came after, and managed to stay strong even to this day after Hitler abused them. Really great people.
