(If you've got a problem, solve it just like you would if you had a pair.) Well, why couldn't the poster tell all those that whine about illegals coming into the US from south of the border to do the same? Solve it like you have a pair don't just come whining about it to an open discussion forum.

There's a big difference: we're not going to a German discussion forum to complain.

He should be voicing his complaints to other Germans, not to us.

But evidently he isn't finding a receptive audience among Germans, so he's coming here to sing the blues.

My point is that Germany had made it's own bed and now it must either lie in it or do something about it.

The have made their collective opinion of Ummies (the German nickname for Americans) abundently clear so I say don't come whining to Uncle Sam any more, you're on your own now.

Ahh, a German patriot, good to see you guys still exist. Here's to hoping you can get rid of Schroeder, Muslim extremeists, and Socialism in one fell swoop.

Good luck, and prayers for your country.

Says you. I say different. This is an online community and that poster is a member.

I didn't realize FR was only limited to Americans. Perhaps we should only discuss American news as well? Just do away with Israel topics, German topics, UK topics? That's the beauty of the internet and cyberspace. Here I am in the UK carrying on a conversation with people in different countries as if we were near each other.

How do you know this person isn't finding receptive German audiences? Perhaps he/she also likes discussing the issues here in addition to whatever audience he has at home? And for what it's worth there are some other German Freepers on the forum and at least one that I noted on the thread and a couple more who live in Germany.

My point is that Germany had made it's own bed and now it must either lie in it or do something about it.

The same could be said for the US, the UK, Israel or any other country. Abortion a problem in the US? Don't whine about it- do something or lie in the bed you've made.

Ummm. Free Republic is not Uncle Sam. And Germans call Americans Ammies not Ummies. Ammie is simply short for Amerikaner. It's not a bad word at all.

And I don't think one can say they've made their collective opinion on anything clear (other than they are a nation that doesn't like war). Germans are as deeply divided in opinion as are the citizens of the US. Schroeder didn't even get a majority of the vote in the last election. Barely 40%. And the SPD is fairly far to the right of the Greens with whom they've formed a coalition. The SPD without the Greens wouldn't be nearly so unpalatable as they are now. The Greens make up about 10% of German voters.

It's vastly more complicated than "all Germans hate America" or all Germans are opposed to American plans in the Middle East. Vastly more complicated.

"We are next,I guarantee it!"

Lock and load, my friends. It will be up to us to fight this menace, as I fear our government is not up to the challenge.

"That's ok, over here we teach our children the rifle."

Well, at least until the liberals try to disarm us, and then we'll end up fighting both the Islamonazis and the liberals (but they seem to be in lockstep anyway, so it won't be a big deal sorting one from the other).

And that on our NATIONAL HOLIDAY! Thank you! :-))

Thanks to Bush 41 (and Kohl and Gorbatchov as well as the East Germans), today we can celebrate (more `less` than `more` patriotic) the reunification of both German states.

I read your profile, and I appreciate your candor. I am a 100% American by birth and desire (though not by blood, as my mother is English, and my father's family came from Germany in the mid-19th century). America is filled with Americans of German descent, but virtually all consider themselves Americans first, last, and always (but we have some appreciation of our German heritage, although we will fight Germany any time it poses any kind of threat to America, either directly or indirectly: the same goes for any other country that wishes us ill). But I am disappointed that Germans have become military wimps, because for centuries they were very good militarists, with bold and capable leaders and troops. Nowadays, militarily Germany is about on a par with France, a nation and a people for whom I have nothing but contempt (why in the hell are you Germans aligning yourselves with that crowd of pederasts and cowards?).

nope, just shoot the unarmed and the guys throwing sticks with points.

Fair or not, Muslims will naturally gravitate to Germany, Austria and France.
After what happened to the Jewish citizens of those countries, the Muslims
are sure they've found European nations full of fellow travelers.

It`s called Ami... just AMI :-)

Yep. And you know what's funny? I know this but decided to spell it the way I did so nobody would confuse it with Amy (like the girl's name). Silly actually but before I thought it through, I pushed post and sent it. Figured somebody would police me up later (on a German thread)- and here we are! LOL. ;-) Thanks for keeping me honest.

A normal common sense seems to be a dying breed nowadays.

These are trying times. People are worked up. Need an outlet. I just think it's good to try and keep some perspective...

Yet those very same people scream bloody murder if a child DARES to mention the name "Jesus" out loud.

Yeah BOT...the citizens must realize what is being done to them. The islamic malignancy is in our country to exploit our free institutions to destroy us. We need a constitutional amendment or presidential order specifying that constitutional rights do not extend to individuals or groups wishing to destroy the constitution and the penalty is immediate imprisonment without bail.
