What do I do now that all the good threads are closed???

It's kind of sad how few Americans are bi or multi-lingual compared to most Western European countries. Most Germans can also speak Italian and French. But the countries in Western Europe are so small in comparison to the U.S. that it would be like every state speaking a different language. If that were true, most of us would probably speak 3 or 4 languages.

I am not bi-lingual. I wish I was and stuck with it. I know a few words here and there and can pick on some other languages such as Portuguese but I don't know nor do I remember enough to speak or read it clearly. Just some words and structure is all I recall.

Now if u want to sit up here and act like americans give a jolly fuck about anything outside of our border go ahead

Maybe you don't but not everyone feels the same way. I didn't really care about learning a foreign language until I went to Germany, but now I want to live there or at least go to grad school there for a few years. If you travel around Europe, you'll see how boring America actually is. There's not much world history here at all.

I remember this history teacher at my school that lived in Germany and he said they have a better quality of living over there.

Yes there is a lot of history in Germany to learn, but we all know that Germany will be known for one thing and one thing only.

It's sad that ignorant people say stuff like "Germany will be known for one thing.." because it shows how little you know about German history. Hitler should be known for that one thing. He was not elected into total power of the One-Party Nazi State by the German people, and do you think he killed just Jews? You know he gassed mentally and physically retarted and handicapped German citizens, no matter how pure their bloodline was, because he didn't want them polluting the "true Aryan blood". Hitler could have done the same thing to any country in the condition that Germany was in after WWI. He promised German unification and prosperity after years of war and economic hardship, and by the time people began to realize what he was doing, he had abolished the German Constitution, tricked the ailing president Von Hindenburg into granting him "temporary" Chancellorship and allowed his cabinet to pass laws without approval from the Reichstag. Then after the Reichstag Fire, he enacted the Reichstag Fire Decree, suspending almost all civil liberties of the German people.

There is no doubt that Hitler was an evil man, but only people who know nothing about the state of Germany at that time and what it had been going through for the past half century blame Germany as a whole. He was not the first Anti-Semite in Germany. Anti-Semitism was pretty prevalent even before he wrote "Mein Kampf". Nationalism and Communism routinely blamed "The Jew" for any economic problems they encountered. A lot of people think this, and it's something Germany is trying hard to stop, but Anti-semitism is still a huge problem there. When I was over there this summer, 5 Neo-Nazi's ran into a crowd at the dedication of a train station in Berlin and stabbed 36 people. Just go somewhere like Switzerland and have a bunch of Italians ask you how many guns you own, how many people you've killed, and why every American loves Bush so much, and you'll get what I'm talking about. People asked me questions like this all the time when I told them I was American.

Yes I know they were pissed at France, England, and the US for the harsh punishments and I know people were starving to death and the country was broke. What I dont understand is how can 80 million people let 1 person think for them.

So you don't understand how people who have never lived under a democracy can't start making democratic choices? National Socialism was not a government by the people and for the people. It was all behind closed doors, which is why if you go to Germany today, you will see that government buildings are built with a great deal of glass incorporated into them, so the German people can look in on the actions of it's Government. The roof of the Reichstag Building is glass, and there is a viewing area so anyone who wants to can sit and watch when the Parliament is in session. You can't just expect the citizens of a country to start thinking for themselves when that's a luxury they've never had. Why do you think Russia is still such a mess and corruption is so problematic even after the fall of the USSR? It's like taking a domesticated animal and just throwing it back out in the wild, you expect it to fend for itself?

 

[KentDog]

Mike's fighting advice thread was one of the funniest threads I have read in a while! I am curious to find out what happened to him as well.

 

[KentDog]

I took it in High School and then ended up taking a few years of Spanish instead.

Good choice. I wish I had taken Spanish in high school instead of French. My lame advisor duped me into taking it, then years later I moved out to Reno, NV and immediately regretted the decision. In my eyes, English, Spanish and Chinese are the most practical languages to learn. I guess 2 out of 3 isn't bad.

Regardless of what I think of Muslims, you can't make a comparison like this. You are comparing a religion to a dictatorship. Muslims can choose what to and what not to believe, which is why not every Muslim is a suicide bombing extremist, but if you are living under a totalitarian regime, you believe what you're told to believe, or you die. In one of the only free elections held by Hitler's Third Reich, the Nazi Party only won 44% of the vote, and Reichstag law stated he had to win by a majority vote, so do you think he just John Kerryed it and accepted the loss? No, he arrested 81 communist deputies of the Reichstag, forced them to vote for the Nazi party, which gave him the majority, then appointed one of his top National Socialist officers to Speaker of the Reichstag, soon after the Reichstag gave him the power to enforce laws as he saw fit. He formed the Gestapo, who would not come ask you nicely to stop opposing the Chancellor, they would kill you, your family and burn all your posessions. He also closed the German Trade Unions offices, banning workers unions and jailing their leaders. He started the German Labor Front, which cut worker salaries and made it illegal to strike. He enacted a law making the Nazi Party the only legal political party in Germany. Any other political party was banned, disbanded, and it's leaders jailed. I could go on, but are you starting to see why there was not a German revolt against the Nazi Party? Yes, Hitler was evil, but he was also very cunning, smart, ruthless and persuasive. He did all this between January and July of 1933, even before Hindenburg died and he appointed himself Fuhrer.

In July of 1934, he even killed off the members within the Nazi Party he was suspicious of straying from his ultimate goal, in what was called The Night of the Long Knives. Do you see how quickly and ruthlessly he came to power? Who could speak out against him? Opposing politicians were in jail, union leaders were in jail, wages had been cut and this was all within 1.5 years of taking office. He had made sure that he would not be overthrown from within Germany, and he wasn't.
