A German View

[eulesseagle]

I was talking to a German yesterday and he made some interesting points:

1. He like the U.S.A.

2. He likes our low tax rates so he can make more money.

What he does not like:

1. Funny, he said that if you buy a BMW or any other "fast" car in Germany you can drive it as fast as you want on the autobaun and in America you can only drive it 70 mph......."so why buy one if you can't drive it to its performance level?"

2. Americans only get 2 weeks of holiday (vacation) where the Germans get 6 weeks and both men and women can get an addition 6 months paid maternity leave.

3. American beer.

4. Bovine American women.

I would have to agree with his first two dislikes:

3. American beer, while on average thick heavy warm German beer is supposed to be superior to our lighter beers, and maybe it is. But on a hot Texas day do you really want a thick almost room temperature beer, or something ice cold, light and refreshing. Yeah I must be low brow because I will take a ice cold Miller Lite or even a Mexican Dos Equis over any of the German stuff. Now if it is the middle of winter and colder then a grave digger's ass outside, I am fine with the German stuff.

4.While in the last decade Americans have really put the weight on, and god is it disgusting to see the number of fat chicks wearing tight clothing these days. And even worse guys giving them some real attention. Germany has its share of fat women, but even more women that got beat with an ugly stick. There are plenty of mannish need to shave women in Germany, when you actually find that really hot one she turns out to be Swiss.

We have lower tax rates partly BECAUSE we don't guarantee 6 weeks of paid vacation and six months of paid baby-making leave. As a result, we still have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the Western world (EuroZone unemplyment is 8.8%, Germany is around 8.0%).

I'm grateful that we still live in a country where capitalism is still king, even if it is highly managed by government... it's better than European socialism. Wasn't it Germany where they denied unemployment benefits to a woman because she turned down a job at a brothel?

Got to disagree with ya kingdl.....

Bavarian women are beautiful and believe in keeping in shape. Some of it may have to do with the ban on steroids in the growing of the beef, pork, chicken and rabbits. I would rank German women, overall, better looking than what I now see in Texas.

German beer is so much more flavorful and cold to.....I believe by law the Germans have to keep their beer around 40 degrees or so. Naturally their beer is not carbonated and pasturized like the s*it you get here. The Germans, by law, have to make it like they did three or four hundred years ago. You can literally tell the difference.

Right now the dollar is worth about $1.55 to "One Euro." When I was over there a couple of years ago it was about even....1:1. I would like to go back but not at that exchange rate. A friend of mine lived in Munich in the '80's, for two years, and I believe he said $1.00 could get you 3 Deutschemark (sp).

I can't argue the beer flavor in my case German beer is too heavy almost like a meal. no doubt in my beer choice I am must seem or perhaps have an uninformed palate but I travel quite a bit and I have never felt German beer or any of the Pub favorites from Europe to be refreshing in hot weather. But then again I water down my Iced Tea. The beer in Germany sure seemed to be warmer then 40 degrees, I would have have guessed almost 60 degrees. In a pinch I don't mind an ice cold Amstel Light ( and that is Dutch) but that is about all I can find, they do serve them cold in the Netherlands Antilles, at least for Americans.

The women in Germany, I have seen some very cute ones, but the girls I saw in Bulgaria and eastern Europe blew them away. Not sure about the in shape thing, saw plenty of fat and ugly women in Frankfort last time I was there, the only thing I know for sure is the cigarette smoking is about 95% in Germany. Hey maybe they were hiding the cute ones, and the rest were tourists. My Dad's parents had a small airport in upstate New York, they had one of the East Coasts premiere Sail Plane bases (gliders). It seems to be a very German thing easily 50% of the people that got into sail planes were German at our airport. I spent my summers on my grandparents airport and even learned a little German, I don't remember much any more. But just to say I have had my fair exposure.

But it is all good, the really sad thing of this conversation is the current situation with Texas women, in my opinion Texas had the best hot lady ratio in the World around the early 80s. Now not so hot, I blame Oprah!
