Lutrov71 Posted June 12, 2004 American life is pretty much exactly the same as Australian life. 0 Share this post Link to post
DOOM Anomaly Posted June 12, 2004 I think that the German is cool. :D My mom is German and I know some people who are too, and as I don't really know the lifestyle of even languange, I think the language is cool. :D If American is considered another culture, then I'd say I like their way of living too, seeing as it isn't much different than how I currently live. :D I heard from a friend, who had been in China recently that things are pretty rough there, with poverty and all. Though, I've always wondered what it's like to live in Australia, and places like New Zeland, or Rome. :D 0 Share this post Link to post

Quast Posted June 12, 2004 I befriended the german exchange student back in 11th grade. He was this geeky looking 6'6" bastard. I got to know him pretty well, and we hung out quite a bit. I'm fairly certain he isn't a typical german either...or maybe he is. I swear, the only reason he came over here was to download 1000's of "warez, crackz and serialz" and burn them all onto cds. I'm serious, that's all he seemed to do...ever. That, and he got his drivers licsence. He said it's more expensive in germany...harder to obtain. Not only that, but he laughed at everything, he thought hitler was funny, he thought nazis and jews were funny...there wasn't a goddamn thing he didn't find humorous. He also listened to obscure german rap and rock. I have to thank him though for introducing me to Unreal and Age of Empires (german language edition). Thank you Bjorn, for helping me on my way of becoming a junkie. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sporku Posted June 12, 2004 Germans are... Germans. I don't form opinions on people based on their ethnicity. 0 Share this post Link to post

Gokuma Posted June 12, 2004 Stereotipically speaking I said this in response to someone saying they were glad they were Irish and no one hates them. Germans are in there somewhere. Think again! I bet you like potatoes you damn leprechaun! Just kidding. I'm part Irish. And also part Scotch-Irish which were kilt-wearing, battle-axe-wielding Scots who went to Ireland but weren't wanted there so they came to America. You/My bastards! The British are also very crusty and their Prime Minister is US President Bush's gay lover and the bitch of the relationship. And the French smell the worst. Germans are either Nazis or people with sadistic, masochistic fetishes involving lots of weapons or both, the damn dirty (or extremely clean) crouts. Austria is Germany's butt buddy. Nobody cares about Spain, except for American Neocons pissed about their allies being voted out of office. All Swiss make watches and chocalate while offering untouchable secret bank accounts to elite criminals. Russia is a glimpse of America's future economy. Portugal is more like Snoretugal. Norway is a bunch of freaking badass vikings who will rip your head off. Hungarians do a dance of poligamy. Luxembourg is a tiny town of filthy rich people that should be easy targets. Holland is composed entirely of windmills. Iceland is an arctic volcano and its main export is Björk. The last summer olympics and war on Iraq prove that Americans are either a bunch of Morman hillbillies (who do a dance similar to Hungarians) or your average fat rude slob that will destroy people to "save" them. Greenland is a psuedotropical paradise. Canadians are part French lumberjacks and Mounties who say "about" like "aboot", "couch" like "cotch", and call people "Hosers." Montreal is extremely French (but without so much of the smelliness) and about to succeed from the Union of Canadian Provinces. People don't know or care if New Foundland is part of the US or Canada, even those who live there. All Europeans depise fresh sandwiches and let them sit out for hours to become stale, collect mold, and have maggot eggs vomited onto them by flies. London and New York City both have reclusive, secret subterranean civilizations underneath. That is my summation of Western Civilization. 0 Share this post Link to post
S1lent Posted June 12, 2004 The Germans are cool, nothing wrong about them I don't suppose. Although my favorite culture is the Japanese culture. Not that it's perfect, I just like it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Job Posted June 12, 2004 I met a German college-exchange student. He was a pretty nice guy. Fairly funny, though awkward, and friendly. 0 Share this post Link to post

I'd second that, but lately I've been really wanting to learn German after I get really good at Japanese. I don't think I have any opinion on them, really, as I don't see any differences. Country-wise and culturally, I do see a difference and like what I see in the German culture and country. I will say this, though. German is my 3rd favorite accent, with Japanese 2nd and Russian 1st. 0 Share this post Link to post

Janderson Posted June 12, 2004 No I'm just talking about the language itself, it sounds brutal and aggresive. At least the men do when they speak, and if you really want a great sound with heavy guitars, drums, bass (etc.) you need an equally heavy vocalisation, does that make sense? I can barely imagine french metal. O_o (No offence to french metal vocalists.) 0 Share this post Link to post
