To the people who have given the thumbs down on recent comments....get a clue and get a life. Does the truth hurt you that much?
'Do strangers down voting the comments that you don't like hurt you that much?'
Not really sure what you mean as I was talking specifically about the people who have down-voted MY comments. I was not talking about down-voting of the comments that I DON'T like (as if I actually would).
'Ready for rehab?'
This was stupid beyond belief as it was you who hasn't comprehended what I actually said. It appears that it is you who might have over-indulged in drugs (now or at some point in your pitiful existence). As for drug-taking itself, I leave that to members of the 'anti'fa network and the hordes of triggered German leftists.
'You are a thick as pigshit xD and a whiney idiot that felt the need to write a post on the bad people down-voting their comments xD
Get a grip, retard'
The original post did come across as a bit whiney, but your childish response makes you and others look ten times worse and was totally unwarrented. Perhaps it's you who needs help? This is a discussion forum, not a kindergarten, where it seems you belong. Go back to your corner and play with your toys.
For all the hedonistic values this city (and country) like to extol, I find German and especially Berlin women to be frigid and sexually uninspired.
I don't know about German women personally, and not sure I even want to. But yes, cultural degeneracy and hedonism are in full swing in Germany and unfortunately in much of the west. Personally I believe everyone on this planet is endowed with the creative spark and the ability to be beautiful human beings. I also believe that this potential has been beaten out of many people (particularly in the west) and that they have been brutalised. I think that the Tavistock Institute, Frankfurt school, Mainstream media and incompetent and/or immoral governments might have had something to do with this
Germany - land of poets and thinkers - until the early 1900s. Looking at the moral and intellectual state of Germany nowadays, one would never guess that this country produced so many great composers, scientists, philosophers etc...
It's probably hard to be a great poet or philosopher if you're afraid to have an opinion that is controversial in the slightest. Look at Thilo Sarrazin who's been attacked for the past 10 years for writing a book critical of unchecked immigration. Why's there no worthwhile art, be it film or paintings or architecture, from Germany in the past hundred years? Probably because worthwhile art requires a willingness do something different. Germans are basically machines programmed to whine about plastic waste and CO2 emissions.
I had a run-in with an older man in Leipzig this week. It seems they are allowed to be as rude as hell to us foreigners but can't handle it when we give it back or just don't give them the time of the day
From a post about a year ago:
A question !? How many of you have been 'punished' for the crime of not going along with the usual 'sexism,racism ,patriarchy,open borders' rubbish??Second question,How extreme was the reaction from the 'deeply offended'???
The answer is yes. If you question the theory of man-made global warming, the true motives of hardcore feminists, question their immigration policy, or whether socialism actually works then they will consider you to be the worst person on the planet. So much for freedom of expression and diversity (whatever the hell they mean by that)
'Berlin is full of these Lefty midget brain sheep'
I've seen this everywhere, but Germany is absolutely as bad as it gets.
'Teh Feminists are the worst'
Whilst I am in favour of women's rights and equal opportunity, I find the behaviour of feminists and their supporters objectionable.
'followed by the blind believers of global warming'
It seems that everyone in Germany is convinced that we are headed for some sort of climate catastrophe and that we are not allowed to question this. I question this theory and get treated like a leper for it, but then pursuit of truth is more important to me than popular opinion.
'Don't get me started on open-borders and the fake refugees.'
That's interesting. I have a friend from Syria who has been here for the past four years. He hates this place but he's stuck here because as he tells me 'I married a robot and had a child with a robot. I feel so stuck here in this horrible place'. He also tells me that of all the refugees that were brought into the country, only 150,000-200,000 were genuine refugees.
I know it gets thrown around a lot on the internet, but German insistence on an impending global climate disaster really seems like extreme cognitive dissonance to me. Imagine being told your entire life that you need to conserve water whenever possible. Now image that this is enforced by multiple measures (google the overpriced tap water scandal in Berlin if you aren't aware; silly low-flow toilets that ensure you'll always leave a mess and that a single flush is a fantasy; shower plumbing that is purposely designed to drain extremely slowly (dismantle your drain and see for yourself). It results in a country that uses such low volumes of water that they have to manually clean the pipes periodically because they aren't used enough (google the Zeit piece on it if you aren't aware). But even after that they continue conserving water because accepting that their quality of life has been so poor because of senseless conservation is too painful. A ride on a summer tram is enough to know without a doubt that the majority of people in this city don't shower regularly. And you can expand that to so much more: gas/car prices, an extremely inconvenient bottle deposit system, etc. It's everywhere you look. I've seen people compare German environmentalism to religious ideology and it doesn't seem to be far from the truth. It's completely accepted as gospel despite the growing evidence that it's completely blown out of proportion (arxiv.org/pdf/1907.00165.pdf). I guess it's easy to manufacture a crisis when the government owns most of the relevant television channels and radio stations.
^ Volunteer idiots/workers for Russian oil oligarchs and fossil fuel companies. You're either dumb af, getting paid, or have hidden agenda (like a blind allegiance to all far right beliefs (or anti-whatever you see as "left")) to be denying climate change these days.
I didn't deny climate change. I mentioned a study that casts serious doubt on the degree to which humans are driving it. And even if I were to think we are the problem, there is absolutely zero reason to reduce water use or consumer plastics to try to combat it. Would be nice to read a comment by someone on your side who is actually genuinely posting something that isn't hyperbolic and void of information.
Hi everyone,
I'm a 36 year old Aussie guy who has been living in Germany for the past five months and I'm currently based in Leipzig, Saxony. This is my second time in Germany, my first being a three week holiday in 2015 (which I actually quite enjoyed). Let's just say that my second time here hasn't been quite as enjoyable. It has been very difficult and frustrating at times and I feel like I live in a social graveyard. It's gotten to the point where I don't want to leave my room and am scared to speak the language. This is despite the fact that I practice it daily and know enough to be able to have a short conversation. This is on top of all the bureaucratic nonsense and the sheer expense of trying to get settled in a new country. I haven't spent a great deal of time in Berlin itself, but I can totally understand why so many foreigners have such a tough time in Germany. Before I came here I was a happy-go-lucky sort of a guy with an open mind about things. But I feel that my time here so far has changed me, and not for the better. I suppose not all change is good lol. I wanted to give this place time and to see if things work out but I'm seriously considering packing my stuff and going somewhere else (Poland, Czech Rep, Russia and France are possibilities.

(In addition to this, I cannot stand the politics in this place)
I am from Sweden and after a couple of years in Berlin I moved to Prague. I can recommend this city to everyone. Many English-speaking people live in Prague. There's a lot of Americans here. I don't have to worry about my life here and no one is attacking me without reason. My life in Berlin was about constant fear! I'm so glad I'm in Prague.
The most terrible thing I am experiencing in Berlin every day is loner. It's like poison. I hate it here. I'm going away soon. Berlin is a terrible and very bad city.
People don't know how to say you are welcome. When they work a job at a counter, they can't act as if it was their money by saying thank you. While you are saying thank you for their service respectfully but they deny it because to them it appears low apparantly. And it makes sense to say an ironic you are welcome to their thank you. It's so dumb.
Berlin is a city that has the most dog poop on the sidewalk in the EU!
Who’s lived in Scotland?
I have. It's great and I miss it a lot. But careful: it's not for everyone. The weather sucks. It's basically Mordor for 300 days/year. Occasional sunny days all year round. Summer is two weeks of 20-25 degrees. If you can cope with this, it's great: lovely people, music, nature. Loved it.
Berlin is a totally waste of time and Money,do not recommend this place to anyone.
If you are an English speaker, you will love Liverpool, the best sense of humour of all Brits, and very helpful and friendly. If you are European, stay away, please don't phuck this place up like you have all the European countries with your Left-wing PC insanity. Keep Liverpool multi-kulti-free
Whenever you see Germans laughing and in a group. You can be sure they are talking poop or talking behind someone back. That’s the German way of having fun.
I am from Sweden and after four years in Berlin I moved to Prague. Someone might wonder but this was a great choice. Great location for me and my wife! Prague is a clean and safe city, people here understand English and the job I found here almost immediately. I love it here!
Swede: Here on this portal I found a lot of useful ..
portal.mpsv.cz/eures
Swede: Sweden is good only if you don't live in the city. Berlin was also a mistake. Prague is fantastic! My wife can finally walk out alone and I'm not worried that someone will hurt her. Within two months we met a lot of people in Prague. In Berlin, we only experienced terrible things with locals. I never want to go to Berlin again!
Tegel and Schönefeld airports can go to hell. I as well as millions of tourists, business people etc. don't give a flying fornicate about your "emotional connection" to your trashy little airports. Your dysfunctionality is not a character trait; give it up and join the freaking 21st century. Why are you trying to "build" another pooping airport when you should be renovating the two existing ones up to international standards??
Ha ha, build Shitfeld Airport to I'nat standards, that would be like turning a turd into a diamond, not much chance. Shitfeld must be the worst airport in the world, especially if you use easyjet and the labrynth of stairways to finally get to your plane.
Also, why the hell haven't they put in a moving pathway from the S-Bahn and the airport, it would cost about 10 cents per customer, they could even charge €1 to use it, it would make a fortune. Studid DDR relics.
Also an Express Train from Treptower or Ostkreuz. Typical of Berlin to get it all wrong. A city of obnoxious morons.
People are so poop unfriendly and for no logical reason. No lady, I don't need to move 30 feet away so you can put in your little pin number into the card reading machine; I don't have your card or card number anyway so what use would a pin be to me, assuming I could see it in the first place.
You are right. There is no logical reason. That's often a big part of why something is affecting one. You trying to figure it out and the sucker just was going for an emotional button. You cannot think about this stuff too much. There is simple feelings for that.
