A bit of reason Please

Is germany as bad as indicated on this forum? No. Is germany Friendly? No.

Me:
British, 30, living in germany for 3 years as part of my work.

The Good:
Germany is clean, it is not dirty as previously mentioned, this is not true. People are not ugly as also mentioned, the same as everywhere else. When u get to know the people on a personal level, they are friendly. Germans are very fashionable. Germans as indicated earlier, do not smell.

The Bad:

Germany in public is cold, it is a fact, no ifs or buts about it. people are rude on the streets to each other, people care very little for people that are not associated with them. In comparisson to alot of countries this is true. Germany is also vain, talk about faceless capitilist vanity, new clothes perfect hair. It is true that german people care too much for their appearance and not enouigh for social interactions and personality.

Too many rules, oh god it gets annoying. Many people wait at a light no matter if there is no traffic or not, but if u walk everybody does.

Condescending arrogance, how many times have I heard, "We germans don't do X like the rest of the world", the classic is hero worship, we don't do hero worship. Bull! Obama when not even president came here and was greeted like a God. So germany is the same as everywhere, not smarter, not dumber, just the same.

Other:

I personally hate too many rules and vainty with no apparent care for soul, but i guess this is the ugly product of money. Bu look at other countries also, America was founded on good principles, but lacked implementation for a long time. america'S attitude in the last years has been arrogant too, sometimes believing they are always right. Europe is full of snobs, this is true also, believing they are more intelligent and cultured than america because the came from an older place, all the while consuming american culture like gravy.

This forum was not started silly, but has descended that way, thanks to pride and ignorance.

Face it, germany IS rude, but America is Fake (Personally though, I prefer America much more )
