I was educated by German-Jewish Holocaust survivors - some of the roughest people I’ve ever met. Mean, mean, mean! Since it was public school, they weren’t allowed to hit us; but boy, were they cruel verbally. I was hit by nuns in grade school. As much as I love the time I was brought up in, adults sure loved to lay into kids.

Since the time of Spartacus, at least, the Germans periodically decide to fight everyone, regardless of out come. Right through WWII. Or perhaps how viscous their children would have been in those times had their parents spanked them. Hard to imagine.

Germany should go drink a big glass of STFU.

The country that brought us World I and World War II, including the Nazi regime that laid waste to an entire continent and then some, sure as hell has no right to lecture anyone about “violence.”

We killed too many of their alpha males in WW2.

Gen X. Why mock me when I made no remark about being perfect and in fact pointed to the best gen, long dead?

Look, I don’t hate the so-named generation. I knew many of them, many great people on a personal level and many of right mindset. But truth needs to be told. Huge numbers supported Roosevelt and raised hippies. Those principles have taken over, and are not great, as we can see from our predicament.

I resent this name suddenly bequeathed by Brokaw, a typical media lib.

Not only knowing the whole truth, but on behalf of the Founders, who were far greater, and brought on freedom, rather than progressive tyranny disguised as being nice.

At the risk of offending everyone with German ancestry (my grandmother was a first generation American, her parents both German immigrants), should we do what the Germans did-send them to the showers?
Once & done

Germany lecturing us on violence? Right.

Up, until the enlightened days of the late 60’s and early 70’s, kids were spanked (or suffered some type of unpleasant result) for violating the laws of their parents or society.

After that time, it was deemed “verboten” by the enlightened, feminized and sensitive generations (male, female, male-female) from that point on. You simply gave them the most severe punishment possible...TIME OUT or restraint from playing their digital games. Nothing else.

Consequently, fear of “real” punishment simply evaporated due to the touchy-feely, sensitive and feminized society of today. Men are females...females are men...they can be both men and women in the same body...and children are now feral children taught to be afraid of the world and that their futures and protections can only be provided by a centralized (and caring) government.

WHAT THE HELL HAVE WE LET HAPPEN?

In truth, WWI was just a stupid war which Germany cannot really be accused of being monsters more than any given war participant. It started stupidly and Germany did not really start it, but became the main defender/opponent.

Exactly.

Except in urban areas. Too much, more than not.

We could send some of our fine, upstanding citizens of Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, St. Louis, etc. to help Germans out with their statistics.

No....the US kicked your butt and made you get rid of a real military so you became pacifist in defeat.

Hello miss marmelstein, how have you been dear? This June weather so far has been delightful here on The Jersey Shore. I hear you on the nuns. I'm a person who went to Catholic schools in the early sixties and man oh man those nuns used to whack the daylights out of me! I remember one nun told me “Young man, never discount the spiritually transforming experience of pain''.

Actually when it comes to Jews, ask yourself why Jews in Germany?

Over the centuries guess where Jews migrated? Why? Because other Euros just rejected them and wanted them out. German duchies apparently let them in without much persecution.

Too bad Euros won’t take the same tac with Moslems now. They are much more a real threat.

LOL! They used to slam heads into the blackboard for not being able to do math problems. I escaped it for some reason although I was a complete idiot with math.

Viscous? Fluid?

Teutons were always very tough but not necessarily worse than others.

The worst trouble with Germans was their inability to stabilize. Never close to stable until Bismarck. Like a microcosm of Europe.

Don’t forget our country is HEAVILY German. Because they do not brag and make much of themselves but tend to assimilate well, many do not know German immigration is the largest ever, even from the Founding. Never mind the heavy German blood in the English royals from long past, which for all its faults, was the best possible society to be based upon.

Given Germany’s present state, the more apt question would be, Were the hordes of invading muslim men raised the way German men were?

The NWO elites want us to be like Germany - so don’t spank your kids.
