Germans find a new way to blame America and the Army

This is great - German researchers are putting all of the blame for the existence of violent video games on the shoulders of America and the Army. Indirectly, they're saying America's culture is responsible for German kids picking up firearms and shooting their schoolmates.

It couldn't be some other violent roots in German culture that leads to kids killing each other, could it?

How do you say "a few bad apples" auf Deutsch?

The nice thing about Germans and Germany is they do not elect Muslims to run their country.

They tried to close a few bases in Germany, the Germans reacted like the loss of dollars would cause the next great depression. Hypocrites.

Nothing surprises me when it comes to the Germans. Arrogance is part of their national identity. It is genetic. They have very selective memories. They never heard of Adolf Hitler or Kaiser Wilhelm. They have always been a peace loving nation and misunderstood by the world. Everything bad is someone else’s fault, for Germans never do anything wrong. I would be surprised if a German ever admitted a mistake.

“Seig Heil” isn’t an American invention.

Nor is it a German one.

You probably mean to say 'Sieg heil!'.

Think about Einstein and wiener. If the e comes before the i, it's pronounced like Einstein. If the i comes before the e, it's pronounced like wiener (like you would pronounce it in English ).

German is not ambiguous in pronunciation like English. The letters make very specific sounds. Therefore if you know the two words have a different sound, they cannot be spelled the same way. And if they are spelled the same they will not make the sounds I believe you wanted to make here.

We should have taken over Doucheland when we had the chance. France too.

Ein bissien schreickliche Apfeln.

I thought that meant, "There is sauerkraut in my lederhosen."

No. We should have kept Germany and let the Germans keep France. Historically the French are much more polite to tourists when German soldiers are in town.

What was Poland was laregly what was formerly Germany. Poland didn’t exist from the late 18th century until 1918. And in 1919 they got what was clearly German territory. That happened again in 1945. Poland got plenty of German territory. The Poles probably would have enjoyed it too if they hadn’t been robbed of so much territory by the USSR.

You mean the territory stolen by the Prussians in 1795.

This article is such a crock of sh!t. Why did you bother posting it?

It’s not even an article per se- it’s from a blog. And the guy who is ranting doesn’t even name the German researchers he is complaining about.

This is typical of a lot of posters here who like to engage in their pet project- whether it be the evo v crevo people or just the xenophobes. You post this drivel on the forum and the posters crawl out of the woodwork to get their two cents in- kick that German arsch! Jawohl!

But, at the end of the day, these unnamed researchers don’t represent Germany. You can find just as many American researchers I’m sure who would also say something similar. Yet we aren’t condemning America en masse because we have a few people who see things a particular way. Why should we hold 80,000,000 people responsible for something a couple of them have allegedly said?

It’s stupid. This thread is stupid. The guy that wrote the blog you linked to is stupid. And he looks like a faggot. (sorry to all you homosexuals out there- I didn’t mean to lump you in with the xenophobe)

Nope. Take the Polish Corridor, for instance. First it belonged to the Pomeranians whom the Poles conquered. Then it was independent. Then in was conquered by the Poles again. Then it was independent. Then it fell to the Teutonic Knights (Germans). Then it became part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as part of a largely autonomous Prussian state. This was all BEFORE the 18th century partitions of Poland. Then it remained in Prussian hands after the partitions until 1919. Then part of it went to Poland. Then it went back to Germany - this time Nazi Germany. Now it belongs to Poland.

Much like Sicily, it changed hands so often that only the natives can claim it with any certainty.
