Not in my taste, really. But I understand where they are coming from.

But I wouldn't call it quite distinct. Because you find similar dressed people in Germany for example.
Yes. But there is no surprise to that, because Germany ( and Germans) don't come across as one monogamous entity. They have both very "Nordic" and "Southern" twist to them, so this would be reflected in their style of clothing. Some would head into "Nordic" direction of style, and some - to almost Italian))) ( Not quite of course, but getting half-way there))))

But you also find much more badly dressed people in Germany. It seems way easier to find good examples for how Danish people are dressed, than it would be for Germans. The differences in German clothing styles seems to be much larger.
Yes, that's what I've noted above. And this is for a reason, including those who don't care about clothes/disregard it all together or don't have sense of style.

It often depends on the educational background. It's often easy to conclude from the fashion style to the type of school the wearer has attended.
Again - yes.
Out of all Europeans I found Germans to be the closest to Russians in this respect ( and not only). So different yet so similar in a strange twisted way.
I think such views apply to a country as such, most of all its politics, not so much to individual citizens there. I can only speak for myself, but there are few things I like about the US, basically comedy programs and AA music from decades ago, the Appalachian scenery, and the more optimistic and pragmatic approach of many US-Americans, compared to Germans for instance.
The weird thing is that although I like little about the US, I like even less about Germany these days

you shouldn't, go to [LEFT]Neuschwanstein Castle and you'd change your mind. As to liking the US go to Sleeping beauties castle in Disney land California or the new Hogwarts castle in Universal studios[/LEFT]

To the contrary, I really like myself, but for the person I am, not for happening to belong to any ethnic group. I don't identify with any country or ethnic group. I find it really odd when people put as if someone has to identify with, like, and defend where she or he happens to be from...

that is a good thought process. But still, Germany is a beautiful industrialized country with the most magnificent castles in the world. what's not to like

You are implying that the country and ethnic group that you come from have nothing to do with who you are as a person.

I really haven't come across any Germans that don't like Americans (and I live in Germany). They are quite vocal about things they like and don't like about Americans/USA, but they are that way with everything. Frankly, I like this about them. They are "straight-shooters" (generally speaking cuz you can't paint a large group of people with too broad a brush). I extend the same freedom of speech to others as I would insist for myself. I think many people (no matter what nationality) can get defensive when they hear something negative about their country - even if it is mixed in with complimentary opinions. Living free means having to hear what you don't like as well as what you do like (or even apathetic to).
