I will never forget an evening at the pub, in London, when a German colleague of mine actually started crying, because people kept making "funny" jokes about the war with her. She told me later that practically every day somebody would bring it up with her. She never knew what to say and one day she just couldn't take it anymore.

On the other hand, it's easy for me to not feel passionately about it. My country was not even in the war. Perhaps I should keep my mouth shut!

Just so you know, I am not offended by anything you said. By the way, Marie LePen, the national socialist candidate for presidency in France, which is something we make sure we don't ever even have, made a whopping 20% yesterday.

Well, isn't it strange that immigration has worked out so well for America, and it's just so incredibly problematic in Europe....!

And in some countries, due to history and political correctness, it is not even possible to openly talk about the problems and how to solve them. I agree that it's absolutely true that if a party like Le Pen's got 20% of the votes in Germany, then media in the rest of Europe and around the world would go absolutely berserk. Or if Anders Behring Breivik had been German.... There might be some kind of political action against Germany, even. Personally I am really torn in my feelings about immigration, refugees and all the issues related to it.

Another thing that's occurred to me -- similar to what was discussed in the "Propaganda against Russia" thread -- is how frustrating it must be, as a German, to see the completely un-nuanced picture of Germans in endless numbers of war movies.

Actually, no... But I don't like war movies anyway.
