What is the old saying regarding France vis a vis Germany? In France one can do whatever one likes, but must think the same as everyone else. In Germany, One must do the same as everyone else, but can think whatever they want.
That was amusing😀
I know a different version of this saying. It goes like this:
In England, everything is allowed which is not expressly forbidden;
In Germany, everything is forbidden which is not explicitly allowed;
In France, everything is allowed, even if it’s forbidden;
In Russia, everything is forbidden, even if it‘s allowed.😉
