In our continuing series devoted to alienating major nationalities and letting slip the dogs of war, we turn next to dachsunds, or more specifically, Germans. (And no, I'm not calling Germans, dogs. Besides, there are more colorful epithets to throw in German, and their idioms get really poetic--but let's not go there.) What don't you like about the Germans? Come on: don't be shy, speak up!

| Who said anything about eating it? I thought it was great as binding material.

| I actually like sauerkraut, especially to heavy food of the traditional German style
Nothing in particular bothers me about Germany, actually. I dislike the old polluted industrial areas, but morally and politically, I don't have a lot to say about Germany.

This place will be filled up by English after this Saturday...  
@fable: Are you planning to create threads for every single country in the world, by any chance? What's next? Australia? Canada? Italy?

Did you know if a tree fell on a mime in the woods, and nobody would care.

| And if it was a mime, they shouldn't. 
Though there was a college radio station in Miami, Florida, that signed off each midnight by stating they were going to play the entire collected works of Marcel Marceau.

Hmmm, what don’t I like about Germany? That’s a hard one. Being an average American I know next to nothing about foreign nations, nor do I have any desire to learn more about them. http://www.gifs.net/animate/flaga.gif
God bless the U.S.

I don't really have anything against the Germans. Except the language itself, it sounds very harsh to my ear
@Kayless so that would make you... a spammer?

Lederhosen!, on my tv, there also are a couple of geman stations and every time I switch by one, there they are: Looooong tables filled with beer and bloodworst, and an women and a man singing strange songs...
Also every film ect. is transelated, suddenly you hear Mulder say: Sully, lassen wir auf dem farrad loss gean! (whatever that means.. )
BUT, they are always the first to show new movies on tv, we always have to weat an half year longer.
In general German folks are nice people, and I like em.
