“The most impressive thing that Germany does... is build roads really well. Particularly repaving jobs... they’re done to last decades upon decades”

I’ll give them that. And cars and their bathrooms in residences have industrial strength fixtures which is awesome. I’ve been there a few times and my personal view is other than engineering and you can take your dog to a restaurant Germany sucks. After 3 trips I can see how the Nazi’s got started. Sorry its true.

I've spent a fair amount of time in Germany. I've met some very pleasant happy and outgoing German Volk, as they say "gemutlichkeit". That said I've met quite a few Germans who are the most humorless bastards in existence. Like vulcans with a heavy accent. "Dour" doesn't even come close to describing some of them. I know Germans and German culture knows how to laugh so I am at a loss to understand it. Of course I am mostly Irish so I tend to laugh at most things, even the parts of life I am told by others aren't supposed to be funny. Go figure.

Your post made me laugh out loud.

Yeah, big time.

Talk about groupthink. Massive, massive group think. Michael Lewis observed that they also have a think for the human anal track and that which comes from it.

Once he pointed it out, I saw and heard it everywhere.

“Germany sucks.”

Sorry you feel that way about Germany. I took my son over there when he was 10. He had a great time.

At the end of a day of touring we would come back and teach the boys in the neighborhood the game of baseball. My son even left them his bat, ball, and glove.

The boys asked us to visit their school. I got to talk to a class about our state of Hawaii.

Doesn’t suck as much if you get to know the people and try to have fun.
