Good job Vigo, now we have two ignorant posters. Maybe next time you'll simply point out to the spelling nazi that it's not spelled that way in your country. At least that way you won't make yourself look just as ignorant as the other guy.

I wouldn´t dare calling someone a Nazi for this reason. You know what a Nazi is? You know what Nazis did to people? I hate it when people use this word so lightly, as if Nazis were just "overly correct", fun spoiling people.

You see, it´s easy for anyone to make oneself look very ignorant.

I'm very well aware of what the nazis did Vigo and I don't take the term lightly. I used a common internet term to illustrate a point.

As soon as this word is used as a common term for annoying people, it is losing its true meaning. This is what´s bothering me. The same goes for "terrorist".


Anyway, it looks like I touched a nerve and I'm sorry for that. My intent was to point out that you assumed a "lazy american" didn't know anything. Well, this "lazy American" has been beyond his country's borders (Japan and Mexico, I don't usually count Mexico). And no, I didn't look for a McDonald's when I got to Japan. This "lazy American" enjoyed your post, but I didn't enjoy your generalized attack on my nationality.


Point out where I did you call you a "lazy American". And I am happy that you seem to be someone who knows other places aswell and are not afraid of other cultures.


Now that I've read all the messages, I can see that you're not the only one with an axe to grind. I'll put my comments about Germany's dark past on hold.


No, feel free to tell me everything you want. I am not afraid to talk about our dark past. In fact, we Germans know best about our past than most other countries. We extensively learn it in school. Our television is full of in-depth historic reports of all our cruelties we did. Don´t think you can tell US anything which we already do not know.

On the other hand, most Americans will gladly point out that Hitler was the most famous German...


Maybe you should educate yourself on some of the "international treaties" that we're "violating" and not just watch the nightly news in your country.


Ok, perhaps I should be more confident in what political leaders are saying, right? Or listen to what YOUR, of course totally objective, media is reporting, right?
