Freaking hell tribesman, do you really not understand that when I said "no Germans" I meant "less Germans than Turks"? I'd say it's a pretty basic thing. It's a rhetorical technique called "
hyperbole" (or in this case
adynaton). In all my life I have not seen you correctly understand a hyperbole even once. You constantly and probably deliberately fail to recognize hyperboles in order to completely twist someones words.
Anyway, you constantly refuse to provide any counter-evidence to the evidence I provided. Either you do now, or this discussion is finished.

Not at all as a simple look at some local priories would have shown you catholic orders still marking prayer times in such a manner or a stroll up into the lutherean belt which you seem to despise would show you plenty of churches carrying on the tradition.

You're doing *exactly* what you're accusing me of. How can anyone possibly generalize more than you're doing here? "Some churches in the bible belt still ring their church bells every few hours so Dutch churches ring their bells every few hours." "Some people in the US grow beards because they're Amish, so growing beards because you're Amish is part of American culture." "People in some Dutch places used to wear weird costumes, so wearing weird costumes is part of Dutch culture".
