@Tzahal – I suggest you invest in a history textbook. But I agree that Germany holds an extremely negative view towards Naziism. I would, too — as a white male American, I hold an extremely negative view of Americans who go visiting other countries expecting to be treated like princes.

@ dill down below…

I hope you just tried to piss people off. Anyway, I’d like to point out some things..

1) America didn’t do shit in world war 2, unless you count the Japanese, who weren’t much of a threat anyway. The USSR did all the work, and even destroyed a Japanese army before you even joined the war.
2) There are nazis all around the globe. Luckily, in Germany, any image that has to do with the Nazi party is banned. They are very strict about this.

The cultures of every other nation on this earth exists here in the U.S. So is it really that big a shame if some U.S. culture spreads to other places? Here in the U.S. were all living in Britain, germany, italy, china, japan, vietnam, greece, jordan, pakistan, and you name it we got it.

As I was reading then skimming through the myriad of comments above, another reason came to mind. On a blog with many comments I often do not comment even though I may have something to say. I may be repeating something already said and often do not have the time to read all comments that have already been made.

Does anyone else here get the feeling that this is exactly the kind of reaction Rammstein were going for when they wrote this song? They love to get a rise out of people as much as anybody – usually more. Take the song for what it is, and cool it with the flame wars already.

Hey,
I am going to admit I dont know what every things is like in the world, but here in my own little world, America rules. GM owns our infamous car maker Holden, we seem to be on a regular basis getting some new American chain. 80% of the shows on TV have come from America. WHICH is what I feel Rammstein is singing about, I dont live in America but the American influence is everywhere.

Also every one is proud of their nation in some way, slagging nations is going to get some one fired up in some way or another.

EosTT, Australia is NOT stupid!! I take offence. Its a great place to live.

I’m surprised that more people haven’t noticed the inverse properties of these arguments.

Not all Germans are Nazis. A very small percentage of Germans even come close to fitting that negative stereotype.

Not all Americans are obese warmongers. Again, a very small percentage. As the name implies, I’m from Texas. By all accounts, I should be surrounded by fat, racist, blind patriots.

But I’m not.

Perhaps it’s time to agree that not all Frenchmen are assholes, not all Irishmen are drunks, not all Middle Easterners are suicide bombers…

Just a thought.

Hi
i am from germany and want to comment “german are nazis”
i am 20 years old and i learned about them in school. I NEVER saw a Nazi and both my grandfathers are dead, so i even never have talked to somebody who participated in the war.
And i am not very interested in history. i had to do my final schooltest in the nazitopic and they gave me a bad mark, because i didn’t take this topic as seriously as it has to be taken (teacher said: in germany we have to know what let this happend bla bla….). Of course I know that really really bad things happened in the past, but for me living in germany it is nothing else as any other historical topic.
sorry how i placed the words in my sentences^^
