Y'see, It's Like This ....

I was talking to Hessburg. Why are you answering?!? Quote:
Quote:
She is a Plattsdeutschmädchen: sehr Prussisch. Bossy, short-tempered, the whole bit. She even sleeps at attention! lol I mentioned your remark to her: the one you made about German soldiers being amateurs. Her response? Something along the lines of: "Quatsch!" However, someone a tad more qualified on the subject tends to agree with you: "Red Storm Rising" Oh, why don't you, and everybody else, just relax already with that, why don'tcha? You honestly think the powers that be care about who Merkel sexts in her offtime? And don't you think the German government, especially after aquiring DDR Stasi assets post-Anschlüß, spies on The United States Of America, too? C'mon .... You sound like a smart boy: don't be so näive. Everybody spies on everybody. It's always been that way & always will be. Privacy, especially in this, the Digital Age, is a non-existant, quaint concept. Get used to it. Oh yeah? Well I've got a saying for you: there's a first time for everything. Nothing stands forever, huh? Not us, baby. Not us .... And you better pray that we're around forever. Because if it weren't for us, you & the rest of Europe would all be speaking Russian by Christmas. Don't you forget that. Quote:
Right, right. Because as a paying customer, I have absolutely zero place to comment. Yeccchhh ....

Actually, in a number of polls, Germany is often voted the #1 most tourist-friendly country in Europe.
And why do you continue to spell "German/y" with a small "g"?

Man you're right. Must be some kind of a false friend because the word "deutsch" == "german" is written lower case in g(G)erman but uppercase in English. Contrary to "Deutschland" == "Germany"

Hum? I'm snippy by default. Ask Hans.
With "false friend" I mean that's like the word "become" where we have the word "bekommen" in German which has a completely different meaning. |

No need to.
As noted above, I expect this behavior from Deutschervolk. However, I expect it where it's warranted. Hence, my "no snippy" remark. Vershtest du, menschchen?
