the germans..
โพสต์โดย Thorbjörn Heise ใน ห้องสนทนา เยอรมนี
First of all I'm absolutely shocked about the reputation of germany, the country which I actually live in. I never expected most of your arguments, what is most likely caused by the fact I mentioned before, I surely miss the forest for the trees. It's hard to believe but important to know your view.
Nonetheless there are some things I'd like to put in perspective. This topic is about the rudeness some - or most - germans seem to display. I focused on this today, sadly you're right. I never considered that, but it strikes me that I might be one of the few friendly people in germany. I asked a good friend from the USA, he told me exactly the same: Germans are rude, unfriendly, unwilling to smile... - well, at least most are. Me and many people I know might be the last resistance against all those bad habits. I do smile most of the day, I do talk to strangers just because I like to, I do say "thank you" and "please" and yes, I hold the doors open for someone behinde me.
Next one, who the hell told you germans consider themselves superior? Is this about the "We build the best cars, we brew the best beer..."-thing? Take it as a joke, I'm not willing to believe that there is a majority of germans not recognizing egalitarianism. Yes, we do build fantastic cars and our beer IS the best ;) - but nevermind, you brought us hamburges, teryaki, curry-chicken, the "Doener", awesome computers and freaking good music.
I do really think you have to distinguish, think about it. Germans are not a homogeneous group, we've got neonazis, communists, close-minded people, fundamentalists... welcome to democracy, welcome to the freedom of thoughts and speech. In my opinion it is essential to even let idiots speak. There are people demanding to abolish the nazi-party "NPD" just because they think like they do - this might be the day our democracy is burried.
Of course you'll find idiots here. Maybe history presented us some more, but that does not mean all germans are like this.This includes the behaviour towards immigrants. There are idiots - on both sides. The ugly truth is that we built a parallel society including a lost generation of immigrants without the slightest hope to ever find work. That's of course a bad thing, but we do evolve, we do change. Look at my generation. Like every other generation, we'v got idiots. But unlike the former generations there is a mass of people giving a damn about your origin, color, religion... - and i do believe that within 20 years, all those "problems" might just dissapear, because we do find out that our national state slightly faded to a immigration country. We have to accept that and I do feel optimistic about that:
Here wa are, a generation of germans, grown up in the light of globalism, multilingual, full of curiosity, tolerant and armed to the teeth with democratic convivtions. I'm convinced we'll do a great job!
