Yea right. The German people had no idea what was going on....So all those rallies with millions of people and the systematic extermination of 12 million people was just the work of the dictatorial gov't?

I don't blame the current German people for what happened. They weren't around for it to happen. But I can certainly blame those who were adults in the 1940s for letting it happen.

Earlier, I called him out on his arrogant know-it-all European attitude that a lot of liberal minded Europeans have of themselves. He keeps proving to everyone what I called him out on. He thinks his **** doesn't stink because he is German. And, of course, he also thinks he's better than everyone else. No doubt he is doing the very same thing he probably accuses conservative Americans of. But, what else can we expect from a liberal European? They are all hypocrites. Now he's mad because we're not kissing his behind like the hardcore liberals on here were doing

Yes, please don't. Unfortunately, my recent ancestors were in the same boat, as I had 2 relatives who were Hauptmänner/Captains in the Luftwaffe during WWII

Billions of people despise America? Are you drunk or just really ignorant?

Hollywood is the number 1 provider of the arts to all over the world.

I agree parts of the lifestyle are better, such as walkability around cities. But let's face it, America is the land of opportunity.

You provide no evidence of America's decline and fail to how Europe is imploding before you.
Look, the biggest chunk of your immigrants come from 3rd world countries these days. Just because some british dude, wants to become a director in hollywood, doesnt mean that europeans still try to come over. Europeans have found other destinations to emigrate to these days. And no there are barely any lines in european us consulates.

So is there a point to your America bashing or are you simply trolling for further argument?

Actually the biggest chunk of immigrants coming to the US are coming from Mexico which isn't a 3rd world country. Europeans do still immigrate to the US for many reasons, many more than the number of Americans that immigrate to Europe, especially Germany.

What's your next fail?

I don't need to do a poll, I didn't make the claim. You prove what you said if you want to, I'm just saying you're full of it.

Probably just looking to bash Americans to vent his pent up anger out at us instead of the Turks occupying western Germany and Berlin. We see this all the time with liberals venting on black and Hispanic conservatives, so it's not unreasonable to assume he's doing it this way
