I hated seeing Wal-Mart in Germany and McDonald's in France. I wanted to see these cultures untouched. When in Germany, I wanted to see Germany, not Germany with some America sprinkled on top. ...
As long as you not want so see al German in that stupid bavarian leather trousers.
I won't say that WalMart is that far from German shopping behaviours, don't forget that we have Metro and Aldi coming from Germany. And Germany always was kind of a melting pot of cultures.
But, I think it is not a good thing that it is so difficult, to held people who exploit a social system accountable. It is one thing if someone just cannot work, but it is another thing not even trying.
