I do not find the article that interesting especially because a poster pointed out that the whole thing is not such a big deal, but I think the discussion below is very interesting. Some of these posts (I have my threshold on +3, so I only read comments that are at or above +3) sum up my thoughts about Germany quite nicely. I do think that in Germany, people trade essential liberties for temporary security (“They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security.” ~Benjamin Franklin).
I also like this post. I do not necessarily agree with his opinion that “Germany is one of the finest countries on earth, it was liberated from
a facist dictatorship and is now an excellent example of what democracy
can achieve given the opportunity”, his points are valid, however, and the characteristics he ascribes to German people are probably exactly what I dislike about the Germans.
