A picture of a poster that was displayed prominently at a university in Berlin I briefly attended. A state-funded school I might add. There is still systemic xenophobia in Germany, driven to extremes by their knowledge that Germany/German culture are substandard compared to all other western nations. They're still dehumanizing and scapegoating anyone that doesn't operate like Germany.

America - Germans love to hate it, and it's politically correct and totally not racist because they're a white, privilliged first world country! God I've sat through so many "conversations" (read debate/monolog) in environments that in other places could have been fun listening to children spew their parents views on this crap. It's the same as those idiotic morons that think all car owners are elitist environment disregarding idiots - until the day comes they themselves need/can afford a car. Then they happily tear down the autobahn as far as their little shitbox will go, spewing out as many dead dinosaur breaths as possible, without even considering the hypocrisy. It's all sour grapes, in a land where you're don'ttaught not to expect to win anything, why would you want to play the game.

Not surprised a 2010-era student from Germany who spent a 3-day, guided trip in Silicon Valley immediately sought refuge in father Germany again. I am 99% sure he had never worked a day in his life. If he was still in a Diplom program he didn't even have to really take any exams. Hearing people actually work 40 hours per week probably traumatized this poor child. Lucky he got deep insights in America with this state-sponsored trip where he watched one company presentation.

What she wasn't allowed to say is that the "refugees" were allowed in because of Zero population growth with Germans. www.wsj.com/articles/women-ceos-dont-get-paid-less-than-men-in-big-business-they-make-more-1496223001

The only way you can consider this brilliant is if you think her endgame is just sitting as chancellor until she dies. For whatever reason Germans love people who do nothing, so I'm sure she'll be re-elected this autumn.

Women shouldn't work nor study anyways. Most of the women that go to college get useless degrees. The ones that do get useful degrees only work for like 2 or 3 years before getting pregnant and retiring from the workforce.

Do a quick Google search with the query "women at work experiences" and you will read a ton of horror stories. Women have the mental maturity of a child, and are thus not fit for working, like men are.

The above argument is ridiculous. Not all men get useful degrees and most job positions don't require a specific degree to do. They still expect some degree as it's seen as standard and for positions that do require specialization, like engineering, they aren't going to hire someone with an unrelated degree who knows nothing about it. To be honest, the worst thing about women in the work place from my experience is they are able to sit on their butt and stay focused much longer than men. I think men evolved around being active, so sitting still and focused at a desk all day is a challenge. In this regard, they are often seen as more productive workers (when at work) even if men are more likely to put in longer hours and take less leave and tend to get promoted faster because of that.

If all women dropped from the workforce, not much would happen. It's mostly men who pay taxes and contribute to society. Since men work more, and often take up the more dangerous jobs, they deserve more pay.

did you ever consider that a lot of the homeless people being eastern european is because all of the germans who are poor and not batshit crazy are sitting in their shoebox apartments and enjoying hartz4? did you consider that germans routinely refuses to pay any social benefits to foreigners from other eu nations? that maybe they moved here thinking they were going to get along well because germany likes to portray prosperity and failed then became stranded?

and i have never seen eastern european prostitutes in berlin. walk down by hackescher markt and they are all blond germans. i don't know about the underground, but i would imagine that eastern europeans without access to social funds from germany are the only poor souls desperate enough to sleep with disgusting berlin men, white and puffy, with their poor hygiene and still being arrogant assholes.

in closing, germans are lazy and get hartz4 unless they are too retarded to file for it (i.e. all of the idiots who sit in front of ostbahnhof all day, all the idiots who live on oberbaumbrucke, all of the losers who live in tents near regierungsviertel, etc). this duck sucks butt so badly.

They're just the icing on the poop cake. When I moved to Berlin, the problem were the "normal" people, or let's say, what Berliner's call "normal". Unfriendly, ugly asshats, living from well-fare and lingering around McDonalds and cheap stores with their ugly tribal tattoos and huge caps and white boots. Unfriendly middle-aged women with East Berlin mentality. The whole charme of a city that is too full and behaves like it's overly important and busy all the time. Whenever I went to the doctor they were unfriendly, and I was not even going often, and so full people had to stand. When I called a doctor's office they were unfriendly and acted like they are closed because of too much wealth. The general mentality is: We have enough customers, just go somewhere else!!

I recently saw some job adds for a ridiculous company in Berlin, some fashion bullshit, they were looking for people to prepare packages. Their whole website was full of spelling mistakes and embarassingly put sentences, like it was all a huge joke. I bet they made a big poop show out of their search for a stupid butt to pack a few packages, like you need a doctor's degree for it. I mean, they're IN BERLIN!! Everything is gold in Berlin and oh so great. And then you look at it and it is just SHIT. Like literal shit. Like the poop on the streets. The poop smell everywhere. People pooping and pissing in the streets. pooping people.

Someone wrote here that Berlin is a party city and I think this is right. Lots of garbage from all corners of the world (and Germany) comes here, parties, and leaves. The people who try to live here become bitter psychos to survive.

What is funny: Since I know that this city is broken up and approach people like the psychos they are, knowing I will leave soon, they are suddenly very friendly to me.

I honestly don't understand how every single thing in this city can be full all of the time.

Every doctor's waiting room is 70% too small. Berlin even had it good in that vast portions of it were destroyed during the war and abandoned until the fall of the wall. But these idiotic civil engineers still didn't manage to build this city in any way that is conductive of normal, modern human life. You can't drive down any street in Berlin without encountering double-parked delivery vehicles, trash trucks, shop delivery vehicles, etc. These things aren't new - they have definitely not been invented only within the last 30 years. Why haven't these superior German engineers been able to make any kind of solution for them? Why are other big cities (that truly are big cities with large buildings, not just medium-sized cities spread over the area of four normal cities) able to cope so much better? What is so fundamentally wrong with Berlin that it cannot even provide the most basic things to support society?

Oh, god. Do not get me started on the art here. The city's motto is: "If it's shit, it's art". You hear that about lots of modern art, but here, it's taken as a commandment. Thou Shalt Make Incompetence In All Thine Works. Too stoned to go buy some art canvases? Do your painting on a piece of toilet roll. Too lazy to walk down the corridor for your fancy marker set? Just use a stub of crayon or crap. Too self-important to devote actual time to your creation? Just scribble a few jerky lines to reinforce just how much you DON'T CARE cause you are a REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT ARTIST with better things to do, like going to Berghain.

What galls me is that some people, who haven't seen how bad the art here really is, just assume that I'm biased against modern art, and I'm parroting all those cliche criticisms (it looks like a kid did it, do you call that art? I could do better. Etc.)

I'm not.

I STUDIED modern art. I love the White Cube.

The problem is that all artists in Berlin seem to have read those same cliched criticisms of modern art and, without having ever looked at any actual examples of modern works, have decided that doing childish, incompetent poop is commendable, so why bother doing more than that? They become the stereotype through their sheer ignorance of the reality behind it. (This is a pattern one see over and over in Berlin in all areas of life, not just art).

FYI Berlin, real artists think you all stink. Grow up.
