Punishment is never the answer, for there is crime in the world, but there are no criminals in this world.
That's a new concept to me))))

How can so many top Parisian chefs be foreigners? If only French people can cook French food then why does Michelin award stars to so many foreigners?

The #1 ranked bistro in all of France, has a Japanese chef:

It's not about "Michelin - starred restaurants," it's about your corner caffees, your neighborhood restaurants and what you can get away with in your daily life.
The "old world" does it better.

Also, is argue that most top chefs are indeed native.

Except that all the experts in the culinary world disagree with your opinion.

Again, the top ranked bistro in France has a Japanese chef. We are talking a casual streetfront restaurant, not a fancy venue. The recently #1 ranked ramen place in Tokyo is headed by a Jewish-American chef from New York.

The idea that good cooking is dependent on ancestry/bloodline is bizarre, to be sure. Almost certainly a racist viewpoint. You seriously think that ramen can only be cooked by Japanese, or only a Vienese chef can make Sachertorte? LOL. Probably half the kitchen in the Hotel Sacher is foreign. Egyptians are now the pizzeria owners in Italy. Albanians are now the pizzeria owners in NYC.

What "culinary experts?"
You don't need to be an "expert" to say that sweets suck in the US comparably, say, to Germany.
Same goes to American sausages ( just an example) that might be of 10 different sorts yet amazingly enough still taste the same. Same goes to American cheeses that can't compare in quality to European cheeses.
I don't care about your "top ranked bistros" or "#1 ranked ramen place in Tokyo" - there the "experts in the culinary" can argue all they want and award whatever they like to those places.
I am talking about the daily life.
And "racist view point"? Egyptians and Japanese - aren't they from the "old world" as well?
So no particular racism here, when it comes to cooking.
But that's cooking.
Overall that doesn't mean that I don't have any "racist inclinations," because I certainly do and I am aware of it.

Means nothing, seems that my nick was chosen wisely though, in order that nobody can track my identity, maybe too good when I'm blamed for other persons actions - but that's the reality of the internet, my real name is not even Sven btw.

To be not totally off topic, I take data privacy serious, the NSA affair might be another reason why some Germans are upset with the US, it didn't suprise me, what were these people thinking, that they actually anonymous in the Internet?

PS: I will answer this in greater detail since you would dwell further on it anyway, but let's leave at that then, at least here.

My religious beliefs are no secret, in fact I registered here for the sole purpose to take part in religious discussions. We had a heated debate for months if not years about the fate of the damned, universalism vs. the eternity of hell and the idea of eternity in general, when everything was said I became inactive here for years, only dropping in from time to time, seeing if the debate is still going on. It might surprise you on which side I was/am but check it for yourself, I started plenty of threads, you have to search in the Christianity section but I have the impression you already did.

Homosexuality is a topic of little concern for me, and is not much a matter of theological controversity either since the Bible is pretty clear on that, so no need to bring that topic up again and again. But you're right, I do not approve homosexuality of course.

I care little about individual homosexuals as they always existed and it is pointless to punish them, you would have to punish adulterers and blasphemists also then, but transgressions against God's laws should be punished by God, not by men and I do not believe that Christians are called to establish a theocracy on earth, this is not biblical.

However I consider homosexuality a harm to society and I oppose the Homosexualist propaganda and the government's and media's agenda to embrace homosexual lifestyle as something normal or desirable, this is not only a religious but also a political issue, the Homosexualists have gone too far. Homosexualist contents should be banned from the public as in Russia, this does not mean I that want homosexuals to be punished as individuals as written above. If you think this is homophobic, what do you think about Islam?

While homosexuality is harmful, it is not the threat to our societies as a whole as is Islam in my opinion and I would not side myself with Muslims only to oppose Homosexualists since Islam is the greater evil. The homosexuals will have a hard time in future due to the Muslim influx, but they got it coming since they are part of the multiculturalist agenda, so I couldn't care less about them.

While that other SvenM has indeed similar opinions as I have which is no secret, it still was not me, though I admittedly had to think for a minute if I could have written that, but no. Neither have I produced any YT videos, I think we should leave at that now.

Tell me, are Germans any upset over the fact that their gold reserve is stored in the USA, not in their own country? Or is it a fact of little significance to them?
