I start to HATE living in Germany

Now. Those here who know me, know that I am everything but a patriot or nationalist etc.

However, the recent wave of PC-Gutmenschen (political correct 'good-humans) in Germany is really... getting out of control.
I just found this in an article:



Rough Translation:
Dear Driver (male)
Dear Driver (female)

I removed your Germany-flag.
Whatever motivation you had to put it up in the first place, doesn't matter.
It produces, in any case, nationalism!

No?
Yes!

This flag doesn't stand for football, nor any team, it stands for the German identity.

Save yourself the money, us the work, and the nature the garbage and do not replace the flag wit a new one, BECAUSE: (Here it ends...meh)

Seriously. What the Frankfurter!?
This PISSES me off so much, I fail to put it in words.
No matter what you do, where you go, who you talk with, it is always either about nationalism (or so called...), about racism (or so called...), about evil all destroying migrants or... GENDER related BS!

WTF is wrong these days?
What is actually going on?
Has everyone lost his mind?

Germany was a cozy, really nifty place where you could lead a good life.
This is changing and people become brainless SJW's who try to dictate your way of life more and more.

Please:

Brother, I feel your pain.

I believe in humanity, and I believe in respecting other people's choices. That said, this brings up the question of who gets to offend who? You don't get to express your beliefs because they might offend someone else? It's fine for them to feel that way, but that makes it okay to destroy or steal your property because it offends them? I don't think so.

Even Correctotron cannot fathom this one. Sure, nationalists do love their flags, but a flag is a flag, it's an item, it's rare that a flag kills someone or commits a heinous crime.
Same thing with guns really, not trying to drag this thread off-topic, or any inanimate object, the problem is peoples reactions to it.
Perhaps they should replace it with the flag of Pakistan, see if they get a mass-produced note then...

You have just been EU'ed.

Put up the EU Flag and they will leave you a large sum of money to spend.

Meine Fresse.



Needing to share time and space with these bigot zealots, becomes more repugnant with every year passing. In Germany, this phenomenon is a damn plague.

That story made me mad.

A persons love to his or her countries flag is not directly hate to wards other type of people or countries.

I'm out of words

Well then have a pint of beer.



Nippelspanner, it happens here in the UK and in most cases the St George's flag really sets off some people like firecrackers.

I just did a little bit of research regarding the picture to figure out whether it's fake or not and it seems that that picture is already a couple of years old.

Here is a (German) article about it from 2014: http://www.mimikama.at/allgemein/fah...alsozialismus/

It also seems to be the only picture that ever comes up regarding that topic so it might be fake.

Let's hope so.

Eh, in this day and age such things are easily manufactured, sadly because of the fact that such stupid incidents do occur with varying frequency. Thus, since such attention is drawn to these incidents and also to the possible fakes then a misleading perception of their frequency is given by the media. Still, such things can and do happen, and how often they do is often in the eye of the beholder.

In short, take all things with a truck of salt, especially if it's on the internet or in a newspaper.

It's about flags

So here are two stories from my life.
The first is from the days in the Swedish Navy-I got two main job Postman-getting and deliver post to and from the ship.
My second job was as a Flagman-My job was to Hoist and haul the flag in the morning and in the evening. When I was assigned to this job I got a book to read about rules to obey regarding the flag etc.

Remember -If the ship is sinking by accident or by enemy fire-the flag has to bee hauled before the last man has left the ship

Many many years later I was in my neighbor town to make some business. On my way back I saw a young lad hauling some Swedish flags after he had taken them down and removed the ropes-He threw them into the ground(dirt) I walked over to him and said to him in a nice manner

Me: Are you aware of what you are doing is against the law
His reply:-What ??
Me-You are throwing the flags into the ground and thats illegal by the law
His reply: Who gives a( he saud a word which is not allowed here)
Me: The police if the come by and are in a bad mood, the could arrest you for having shown disrespect for the flag. If they are in a good mood they will say to you-Don't throw the flag on the ground.

I Knew by the time in the Navy that showing disrespect for the flang could give was it 5 or 10 years in prison. I my self wouldn't though, throw a flag into the ground
I respect the flag as I respect every countries flag.


I don't know if those law still exist.
