Que sera sera...

Yeah well... that's it. Germany 0, Italy 2... the dream of the world cup championship, bursted in the last two minutes of a 120 minutes game... and what a great game. It was very exciting, two vey strong teams, but the Italian team simply had more resources in the end. They deserve their success just like Germany would have had. It's kinda ( Read more... )

If the Germans have one thing to be proud of, I'd nominate their output of power metal.

*chuckles* Sorry, I probably ignored that because it's not my cup of tea. But you're of course absolutely right. ;)

Prost! ^^ Yeah that's an upisde too, but honestly I'm not a big white wine fan. I prefer a sweet red wine or rosé. I had this rosé last weekend from California... excellent taste... can't remember the name, but I should still have the bottle somewhere. You guys grow some fine grapes too. ;)

Big Hugs!

Sorry you guys didn't win buddy, but I'm glad to hear about your patriotism.

We must move onwards away from shame of our past. The past is not today some time ago. But Rather, the Past is literlly at different world.

Well, at least you didn't lose to France!

Losing to France is impossible... well... except for Brazil maybe. <..< *huggles tightly*

If I lived in Germany (somehow I feel as if I should be saying when I live there, since I have a strong feeling that's where I'll end up) I would become a true patriot. I'm proud of Germany already, and I've not even been there before.

Besides, that's where so much of the great music I listen to today (no, not Rammstein) comes from.

davidn July 5 2006, 10:15:13 UTC

I get that as well, whenever I mention to anyone I listen to German metal. "Rammstein?" "Nooo!"

*licks your cheek* You know you will always be welcome here bro. :) I'm gonna send you some Lederhosen, Sauerkraut and some yodel CDs to try it for a while first. ;)

It's great that Germany can do patriotism properly, focussing on the things that actually bring them together as a people. I'm afraid I'm a little soured when it comes to the subject; over here, 'patriotism' usually involves a kind of false, enforced sense of togetherness, as though shouting drunkenly about St. George and 'Eng-ger-land' (and glassing those who don't share your inebriated enthusiasm) somehow represents good old-fashioned Britishness and is something that all right-thinking Subjects of Her Majesty should aspire to ( ... )

*noddles and hugs tightly* Thanks. :) I know there are many people like you who are free of any prejudices and know not to judge people by their nationality.
... and I can imagine what you mean by English "patriotism"... it was indeed quite impressive to see all the English fans root for their team and listening to a whole stadium singing "Rule Britannia" send shivers down my spine... but there's always a fine line. Some people overdo it... but you have people like that on every side.

*huggles* I hope I'll catch you on AIM sometime soon. I'll just try to IM you by chance. ;)
