On another thread -- the one about decorative pigs being banned from government offices in Britain -- someone said he was unable to get permission to build a barbecue place because it was too near a Muslim neighborhood. Do you think that Germany's history might make Germany bend over backwards to be fair and tolerant, perhaps to the detriment of their own peace and security?
Definitely. It's both denial and guilt. I was quite shocked at how wussie German youth seem now. Adorable but saccharine.
