What do people here think of Germans?
Rubystars:
I'm part German and I'm proud of my heritage. My German ancestors came here to TX in 1845 and there are lots of people with my surname in TX now. There even used to be a dialect of German called Texas German, which is mostly a dead language now, but some people are trying to archive it so it won't be completely lost to history. Sometimes there are still a lot of festivals in New Braunfels, where most German immigrants passed through when they came to TX. I'd love to go to Oktoberfest if it was a family-friendly event, but I dont' think it would be good to go to some of those festivals if they're just an excuse for people to drink. I went to an Italian festival once even though I'm not Italian, and earlier in the day it was great and family friendly but by the afternoon it became a crowd of drunks, so if you go to a festival choose your festival and time wisely.
There's a lot of good stuff in German history like literature (Goethe, Grimm fairy tales, etc.), inventions (like the printing press for one) classical music (Handel, Bach, etc.), modern music (Kraftwerk) art, scientists and engineers, etc. It also has some great food (who doesn't like pretzels?) Also as people mentioned there are really wonderful JTFers on here from that country!
The Holocaust was absolutely horrible, possibly the worst thing that ever happened in history! There's absolutely no excuse for that, and I'm sure that's why the nation of Germany and many other areas of Europe are being punished by God. God is allowing the Muslims and socialists to take over probably because of the sins of European nations. I grieve for the fact that the German nation and other Europeans sinned so badly and hurt and killed so many people, and that they are being punished now.
Likewise, I grieve for the fact that America is being punished and that America sinned. America and other Allies could have done something to stop the Holocaust but they didn't. America and the Allies could have bombed the rail lines, or even the death camps themselves, stopping the murder of Jews and other people there. They let that go on. Chaim has talked about this on his show before, about how the Allies failed to stop the Holocaust in progress and turned their back on the Jews. Another grave sin that America has committed involves the millions of innocent babies that are murdered every year through abortion. God can't look at that and pretend it didn't happen. So even America has done horrible things that deserve harsh punishment from God.
My hope is that all Western nations will one day turn their face to God and begin behaving in a righteous manner, so that God will lift the curses from us and begin to bring blessings instead.
The first step in turning this situation around for the West (America and Germany included) is to pray for and to bless Israel as best we can. We must begin to support Israel and we must fight worldwide anti-Semitism. This will merit God's blessings, and more importantly, it's the right thing to do.
We must also do all we can to protect the innocent and weak, whether they are babies in the womb, disabled people, or our elderly. The way we treat the weakest and most helpless among us is a mark of our civilization and we must strive to be kind and generous.
I think the example that Germany gave the world is that even the most civilized nations can turn absolutely evil. No nation should ever consider themselves safe from corruption or safe from evil leadership or think they're too good to be punished by God for evil actions. America has a lot to learn from Germany's example. Tamar Yonah in one broadcast of hers mentioned that some of the Jewish families didn't believe what was going on in Germany at first because they thought they lived in a civilized and good society. Don't ever assume that even the best countries are immune from evil people taking over.
Right now we have a horrible person who wants to lead our country in America and his name is Barack Hussein Obama. This monster (and he is a monster) wants to destroy Israel. He wants to pursue Jewish blood and he wants to also extend the murder of millions of babies. He doesn't even want a baby born alive to be saved if they survive an abortion.
This monster will bring horrible punishment upon the United States. Please do all you can fight him or we will have learned nothing from what happened to Germany.

On the other hand, in my experience most German-Americans are not bad at all.

I believe that German's represent the largest nationality in America. Something like 30%.
BTW, German central Europe has an extraordinary history, that shouldn't be trivialized by what Hitler did. I think that there is evil everywhere... and because of ignorance and extraordinary circumstances, evil can gain political control.
Just like with Obama... many who support him... arent evil, they are ignorant. They just don't think its even a possibility that Obama has been a member of a Black supremacist Church. I dont think its fair to say that the USA is evil if he is elected. We are just ignorant and are fearful, which is what both Obama and Hilter feed upon.

I have to disagree. The history of Germany and the Teutonic people is one of satanic racism (derived from their pagan Odinism) and malevolent anti-Semitism--which did not start with, but was certainly typified by, Martin Luther some 500 years ago (and 400 years before Hitler ys"vz). Adolf Hitler won with nearly 100% of the German popular vote in a free and unfettered election (remember, this was Weimar Germany at the time--a completely modern and fair constitutional democracy) specifically because he campaigned on the issue of anti-Semitism and promised to put a stop to the horrible Jews who were swindling the German Gentiles and "enslaving" them. The German public just ate this up. They had never had a candidate before who said so very openly everything they had always felt and wished for.
Americans for Obama, on the other hand, are divided between those who are truly evil and are voting for him because they know what he stands for (i.e. all his black and Arab supporters and at least a third of his white supporters) and those who are stupid, selfish, greedy, and ignorant and support him because they actually believe John McCain and Sarah Palin are responsible for the bank meltdown and think that Obama will bring "change". So, I think it's apples and oranges.

check your history CF... Hitler never won anything even close to 100% of the popular vote...
