whats the problem with stating a preference? No need to flame. Ok, it wasnt really a flame but rather a cunning retort, but still. If he has his reasons, why not. I cant blame him for liking germany. I dont understand his dislike for the uk though...

No problem with stating a preference, however if it's the wrong preference, you should be mindful of my naggingly inappropriate pointed finger of doom (right now pointed at what's'is'name).

Nothing wrong with Germany, not at all... I like the way the gothscene has exploded over there.

I saw a few goths in Munich.

Most were pretty dirty looking and didn't appear to be handling the sunlight very well. Hard to look pissed off and dead when you're squinting and dodging foot traffic.

Anyhow, it was a very fun trip.

Anyway Germany is pretty nice, not that I want to live there but I don't mind spending a few weeks/a month there once in a while.
Nice people when they understand english on a good level (the french are the worst when it comes to that, learn fucking english!).

Cheap booze (compared to sweden!), nice people and pretty beatiful nature...

But as been stated before the keyboards sucks... Very Happy

@lobsterboy:

once i spent some time on holiday near Paderborn with my girlfriend and visited the "wolfenstein" castle- btw it's called the "Wewelsburg" and it's a really nice castle wich was heavily destroyed by the SS itself at the end of war. The Order of the black sun, a special unit within the SS (paranormal?!?)regarded this place as the true spiritual center of the world where one day in the future the very last battle for purity would take place. Now the building's used as a youth- hostel and a museum about the SS and the 3rd Reich in general. The SS made did some weird occult ceremonies there in a crypta with 12 collums. Directly above is the well known "Obergruppenführersaal" with also 12 collums and a big symbol of the black sun in front of an altar. Hell knows what the guys did there...
here are some photos for everyone who's interested in learning more about "wolfenstein" Wink

btw, the nature around the castle is pretty beautiful Smile

You should read what Mark Twain had to say about the german language Smile

Nice find Perry Rhodan Smile

Quote:
My philological studies have satisfied me that a gifted person ought to learn English (barring spelling and pronouncing) in thirty hours, French in thirty days, and German in thirty years. It seems manifest, then, that the latter tongue ought to be trimmed down and repaired. If it is to remain as it is, it ought to be gently and reverently set aside among the dead languages, for only the dead have time to learn it.


This is only funny if you speak german Wink

Quote:
Wenn haber man kann nicht meinem Rede Verstehen, so werde ich ihm sp:ater dasselbe :ubersetz, wenn er solche Dienst verlangen wollen haben werden sollen sein h:atte. (I don't know what wollen haben werden sollen sein hätte means, but I notice they always put it at the end of a German sentence--merely for general literary gorgeousness, I suppose.)

that's the point- either you love it to be free to express yourself in nearly "every" possible way like goethe, brecht etc. did and use the capacity of the language or it is to difficult to handle the freedom the language offers and people are crying for limits. There are so many ways to put a sentence together and every time it has another point. It may be difficult for foreigners to learn german (my girlfriend studied german and loves german literature) but to say that the language is awful just because it has very few similarities to english is ridiculous. You cannot compare these two languages even if english itself is an anglo-saxian germanic influenced language. You know that even the word "english" is taken from the saxian vocabulary if i remember correct-
Btw, if you see through the eyes of mark twain as a german you can also laugh about it. For you it makes no sense but trust the people who love it for the complexity, cause they know what they do Wink there are many irregularities,right, but the language itself is "very" logical- believe it or not Smile

Exactly. Mark Twain looked at the language from a writer's point of view, what you can do with it and how can you formulate your thoughts into words and at the end of the article he admits that in his mind german is excellently suited for expressing emotions (i never noticed that but then I am a native german).

Also, as far as I know, both german and english are considered to be germanic languages opposed to the rest of europe who use romanic languages like italian, spanish, french and portugese. That's also why speaking latin doesn't help you to learn german, except the grammar is just as anal, but with less exceptions Very Happy

btw, I found that article on wikipedia while looking something up for my mother's crossword about Twain. Really interesting what you can find there.

By goth girls, I dont mean the ones that actually put on white makeup to look really white then add the black eyeliner, lipstick etc
U know, long black hair, some sexy tight ass leather gear Smile and some black makeup...damn, break out the whips Smile
