First thoughts when you hear germany?

[CrazyJew]

Porn, gentlemen, PORN! How can we all forget PORN?

 

[Hamtier]

When i hear i germany i think of:harsh talking people,Braadwürst and beer.
i dont know why it gives me that picture for the whole country really. i guess just seeing oktoberfest instills me that picture ^^

 

[Robert Ewing]

Hmmm. Efficiency. Economic powerhouse. Quite kind. Traditional, yet modern. Angry language. They hate the dutch. About it really.

I'd mention the war, but that's kinda stale now. Besides I've always been rather fond of the Germans.

I know the game- and filmindustry trys very hard to keep everyone thinking that germans are still Nazis. But I´ve got fate that the escapists think different, so tell me (if you don´t mind) what is the first thing that comes to your mind exept a big empty cinema with zombies in brown uniforms and obvious poses attacking you (and maybe a friend).

Well, because I'm slightly racist, the first thing I think of when I hear Germany, is Nazi's. I also think of solid cars, ugly women and the Autobahn.

I am German and whenever I hear "German" as a word it reminds me of all the stuff other people think about Germany. That is mostly because in Germany we adress our country as Deutschland.
My thoughts on my country are pretty postive though (yes, I'm surpried as well), mostly because of the very good economic situation and the green energy thing. All nuclear power plant are being closed within 15 years. That means we have to make some good innovations in alternative engery, to make up for that.
And I came to love the accent after playing Tf2. The Medic is hilarious, every sentence he speaks is just wrong though (grammar wise). God, am I'm happy that I don't have to learn german as a foreign language

Schnitzel and Oktoborfest. And lieder hosen. (is that how it's spelled?)

It's spelled Leder-Hosen or Lederhosen. Lieder means songs (plural).

sorry to disapoint but first thing that comes to mind is the halaucaust and nazis...
on the other hand the second thing is hot women and strangre fetishes... i dont know if thats a good thing but hey at least it doesnt have anything to do with nazis!
(third thing is the TF2 medic... thats kind of good? right?)

 

[loc978]

That place I lived for three years, give or take. Oh, and the second thing comes from the driver's license test I took there (I still have a valid US forces German license): A man pulling a cart is legally a pedestrian, a man pushing a cart is legally a vehicle.

 

[KefkaCultist]

My first thought is beer. I mean c'mon, they have Oktoberfest.

 

[soren7550]

It's a country!

Somewhere down the line, this does come up though:

Bratwurst, king of the sausages. Why can't the Bavarian market be here all year? Or at least the Bratwurst stand.

[scorptatious]

1. World War 2.

2. Hitler

3. The Medic from TF2

4.

 

[Soxafloppin]

Efficiency and Solid engineering.

I'm not sure why, Probably because of the Car industry there.

 

[Innegativeion]

CHOCOLATE CAKES!

...obviously

Well considering I'm Jewish, it should be pretty obvious.

But otherwise, just the country in general.

Also Jewish. Still chocolate cake.

 

[Kreett]

Bratwurst and Porn... unrelated of course!

 

[Caverat]

Nazis, finely made firearms, driving force of the EU economy, dead jews.

 

[Cogwheel]

A number of German (partially, in most cases) friends of mine, first.

Then sourdough. Germany is one of the few countries that still seems to make good sourdough bread.
