Out There Somewhere
One of the biggest stereotypes about Germany.
Most certainly because of our past and the history of the Nazi regime. Any other country can do certain things to protect and nourish their national pride but only the Germans are being accused of being "nationalists".
The French uphold their language to an extend that it makes it impossible for a foreigner to even try to speak it. And how about that country where the spectators sing the national anthem before the start of any sports event?
No prejudice, slander, or any ill meant by my statement. I assure you that the "past, and history of the Nazi regime" was THE farthest thing from my mind. I honestly do not think that way. I applaud any place that tries to maintain aspects of its individuality and/or uniqueness. Yes, I did use the word "nationalist"... I actually meant it as a GOOD thing.
I, in no way, meant to cause ill will or offense. If you did take offense to my statement, I sincerely offer my apologies.
Any way, Jeff- good luck in your efforts to get an assignment over there! If I could go live in Germany, I would- in a heart beat.
