Ahh the British and the Nazis. i had a course last semester analysing Britain's ongoing fascination with the Nazis. Conclusions: 1. British school history-courses are a catastrophe of american magnitude.
2. Empire? What Empire? We defeated the Nazis! What? Britain had concentration camps, torture and cultural genocides? ... erm ... But we defeated the nazis, and they were way worse than us! Hooray Britain!

Britain, in my experience, is aware of its own miserable history to the point of being self-flagellating. There's a massive emphasis in culture and education on the tudors and WW2, and it's almost ridiculous, but I really doubt it has anything to do with soothing the social discomfort to be had by reflecting on the crimes of the empire.
I don't know. WW2 seems pretty fucking important when it comes to modern history, considering how much that conflict defined the shape of the future world.


Of course WW2 and Nazis should be studied. But there is the difference between study and obsession. We had to do projects for the course, and one group knew a bunch of Bachelor of Education- students being teacher's assistants in the UK at the time. So the group created a survey to look at british student's perceptions of Germany. One question concerned, for example, the number of years the students had WWII as a subject. Out of 4 or 5 classes (all over the UK), all had had WWII in more than 2 years, focussed mostly on Britain vs. Germany. When asked to name something "bad" the British Empire had done, most of only one class could name the enormous slave-trade. When asked to name the things they most associated with Germany, Nazis came before the cars and the soccer team. (And if you look at the tabloids and even proper papers when a match is on, you'll see an abundance of Nazi-refernces.) A friend of mine got cursed out of a London cab for being German. Nick Clegg wrote an article about the obsession. Edit: Moar. I can't find the article I'm searching for. I'll look again tomorrow.


"Having world war 2 in more than 2 years" does not mean that you have studied it for the entire duration of that teaching year - i have covered 3 or 4 different topics 3 or 4 different times during the course of my secondary education (11-16). The word "in" is a big clue there. We also covered native americans, the tudors and stewarts, and the rest i forget because i've never been interested in studying history.

The rest of my points i'll list in brief list form;
1) I don't believe that's true, at all, that 4 out of 5 classrooms full of students had no person who knew about the slave trade during colonial britain. That's covered plenty.
2) I am wholly unsurprised that a bunch of SCHOOL CHILDREN who have spent the last few years covering nazi germany on and off associate germany with nazis over cars (which they can't drive and who cares where cars are made?) and a football team (which we probably play on average once in a 2 year period, mostly in friendlies). If you're older than about 18, your grandad was probably in the war, and your grandma lived during those times. The war was a tough time and we're proud of standing alone for a time.
3) You're reading the sun or the news of the world - tip for you, stop reading the sun or the news of the world.
and 4) I've been cursed out of a london cab for being northern.

PS. Two world wars and one world cup, doodahhhh doodahhhh! .... it's a joke.

Come on lad, get a grip. This questionnaire sounds like bollocks to me - i've experienced 3 student exchanges with german students, and everyone got on really well with no war/nazi/anything comments or insinuations. I could ask 10 strangers what they thought of germany and i'd probably get 7 saying they like em. I got along better with german kids on holidays to spain than i did with the english kids, hung out with them, learned german better, and still love the language now.

Perhaps you're looking for it?

I don't understand German - at 2:34, are they encouraging you to stick your hands into your pockets and play with it?

I understand German. Yes, they are.

Because having splooge on your pants is better than having a boner.

I also have one of these radios and love it, too!

I tune in to ABCs TripleJ from Sydney a lot. We also play the german kids radio KIRAKA when the little one is around, something we can´t get on the regular radio. And last summer we had fun listening to Jamaican Reaggae Channels while hanging out on the balcony in the summer heat. So much good stuff out there!

Our model is a DNT Ipdio which can also stream audio from your computer through WIFI. The user interface is quite annoying though, there are probably much better options out there.

nice idea - bad acting


you're an idiot.

by the way: that's one of the big differences from "Europe" to the US. Over here manuals are the usual, automatic are considered to be old people's cars. Yes, there is some sort of evolution with doubleclutches and 7gear automatics etc., but still i'd say at least 3/4 of all cars come with manual.

But hey, as german kids we had to go to driving school for months and pay those bloodsuckers something between 2000 to 3000 $, so the least to expect is to learn how to drive a manual ;-)
