I have never encountered a people that can take the most simple of lifes pleasures and turn it into a deformed mangle of retarded meanness in ten seconds flat. It gets so bad you cant even venture out to do a simple thing like food shopping because you know someone will vomit their hate on you. Its such a relentless soul crushing experience..every single god darn minute of every single cursed god darn day.Dantes inferno is a kindergarden compared to this hell.AWFUL.
I thought it was just me, and after living in Berlin/traveling throughout this Country for one year, I can honestly say…these people are the WORST. Everything that it said in this forum is true to a fault. There's a reason that no one likes the Germans…even the more Well Traveled and 'Cultured' of the lot can't stand their own. To the point that I will now only associate with Germans that live in Germany Seasonally. These "Part Time" Germans are the ones that: have a real Education, speak Multiple Languages (including Business English), have rewarding Creative careers, and are Sophisticated enough to hold real conversations and are capable of Critical Thought. Then there are the "Full Time" Germans. These sorry pieces of White Trash are the ones that; have never left their little Dorfs until University, think Berlin is the center of the Universe, have never had more than ONE type of employment or none, think EVERYTHING German is better, have the Social Skills and Charm of Mayonnaise, speak only one language…and expects even Tourist to know it FLUENTLY. These are the type of Germans that are giving the Country a bad name. As far as the History…WHO CARES?!!!!! There's a Starbucks within walking distance from almost every Jewish/German Memorial…our friend 'History'…she aint present. Can we just freaking get over it and join this Century?! Nope. Because Change, Progression, Motivation are abstract concepts to Automatons. The mere thought of these tangible Ideals would mean that maybe…just maybe…the current Mentality is wrong. And we ALL know that these fuckers HATE being Wrong. This is why they won't ever change, this is why they fear Modernization, Gentrification, Globalization and Multiculturalism. It's because they have become so darn marginalized to the point that they cannot ADAPT. They are a dying Breed…just look at the numbers Birth/Suicide/Depression/Obesity/Mobility/Wages, all indicative of a people that are skating on the edge of annihilation. (Karma is a female dog no?) I've seen more protest for Refugees in Berlin than I have seen for Fair Wages. How in the world do these people exist in this Century?! They are annoying, whiny, miserable, complacent, FAT, obsessed, uncouth, classless, and HORRIBLY unimaginative. For a place that prides itself on Order & Organization…these people are either slobs or Hoarders. I have YET to have been into a Full Time Germans' home and felt at ease. And I honestly believe that 'Furniture' is a bourgeois concept in Berlin, along with Style, Grace, and Cadence. Nothing these people do make sense. From their horrid lifestyles and Tastes, to their Values and Priorities. EVERYTHING is a Contradiction with Germans. They want Privacy…yet keep their noses in other peoples business. They want Freedom…yet everyone should think the "German Way". They are Over-educated to the point of Stupidity. Even the most destitute from the poorest Countries have enough sense to know how to milk this Country for what it's worth…then LEAVE. And I cant think of a more deserving group of people. Germany SUCKS.
Left 3yrs ago and have never looked back. And boy, I dont miss the phrase "The German Way". Save yourselves from that unnecessary headache of a City and leave when you can. It will be the best thing for you!
^^Sad but true. And thanks. I cant believe that I married a Berliner and thought he could be anything other than a mere German. Learned a lot. But so f**king glad I made the decision to leave. That city...isnt worth my Energy. Those people were the WORST!!! lol OMG I was so miserable there. I truly have to laugh about the years I spent there.
Berlin is boring, over rated, filthy dirty, cold, depressing, dull, full of unoriginal losers, wasted individuals, talentless would be artists, no hope rock and roll musicians, every second person is a bar tender, people are rude, arrogant, uneducated and down right boring to listen to. Why do I hate berlin, let me count the reasons why 103480 and running
Listen people, this is important. I did some digging and apparently this site is making it high on search engine results along with all that "Visit Berlin + so arty so edgy" crap. So people who are searching for information about Berlin before coming are actually seeing this site and reading its posts. Apparently that enraged some people, I'm not entirely sure who but my guess is that they are club owners and some of the "music & art elite" of the city. This might not sound like a lot but like it has been said here so many times on this site, Berlin lives and "thrives" on tourism even though they don't want to admit it. What's more important, discontent is more public now and these people want to take down the rank of this website with flooding (which would explain the spam) and if that doesn't work they might even hire some black hats who will take down the site for good.
Why don't these German trolls (with no jobs) start their own site about how great Berlin is? Ah yes, because NO ONE will go to it...berlin is poop
As a German and Berliner, I apologize for the German spam on here... you know it's probably a "creative" or an "artist"
You Are f*cking racists. Get over it.
Racists.you Are Not better than any f racist in any f Country. RACIST
Berlin is the only reference that you have?! My God! You Are so ignorant!
So my sister who is mixed race just told me of having to walk through a mob of 300 neo nazi scum "Protesting peacefully" to get to her front door at Greifswalder strasse u bahn.She speaks fluent German and holds down a good job and contributes in every possible way as a citizen.And the freaking police have to escort her to her front door after working all day.No city in the world wold consider this normal.Somehow in Berlin this is normal.In what civilised nation can Neo Nazis "Protest" with police protection? So broken up,so clearly WRONG.International city my arse.FUBAR!
That's horrible. I live nearby greifswalder str. and I'm mixed race too (French/Algerian), I often see pegida protests down my building. I don't even count how many times I have experienced racism in that area... That's freaking awful, and as you said it's considered normal here.
I've always thought that Europeans have the impression that there is nothing wrong because their media coverage is tepid at best. Imagine if that would happen in America. Imagine this headline: "Minorities need police protection in fear of Neo-Nazi attacks in the middle of Manhattan". Do you realize how broken up that sounds? Well that's exactly what's happening is Germany. The problem with German media is that they hide the news until is too freaking late. The reason why they do it, it's beyond me.
How to make friends here? I really don't know. I'm friendly and also extrovert, that's why communication is like air for me. But with such people...At Friday I was in a club. I've noticed a cute girl and wanted to talk with her. I came to her and said "Hi". She looked at me like I was covered in poop from the bottom to the top and didn't answered. WTF? I wasn't drunk, my clothes wasn't dirty, I didn't smell bad. I'm also not ugly. Why?
Sorry dude, try not washing for a few weeks, grow a scraggy beard, and don't say something friendly like 'hi', try something cooler like complaining about tourists, you'll have people to hang out with in no time. Don't get your hopes up though, Germans are very proud of need Ing years to become your friend (but its ok- because once you finally get one cracked, he'll be your best friend forever!)
That's it, you gotta win their frienships because they are so amazingly special. They basically have friends they got since they were like 5 or something and aren't interested in getting new ones. They are full of sh!t. You are not missing anything not being friends with germans dude. But I really get your point, it's impossible to make friends here and the few friends u actually make go away after a couple of months or years(if you are lucky). Hang in there, you are not alone feeling that way, I'm sure ur a really cool dude
I have the impression, that berliners don't know about sex. I'm serious. All people here are cold and antisexual. They don't know how to flirt, how to make love and be loved. Pathetic sight.
German trolls want to take our berlinhater down. Downvote their posts and never reply to their idiotic comments.
