I think with the unfortunate rise of white supremacy especially Neo-Nazism, I must make a disclaimer that by "no means" do I support Nazism or racism of any kind. It's still hard for me to understand the fact that the land of Goethe, Mozart, and the Weimar Republic can produce people that can commit such horrible atrocities. But they did and most horrifically. Such actions should "never" be repeated, but I guess Isis is out to surpass the Nazis.
Not to say that the current generation of Germans are bad. Many of them can be really good people. They are the tree huggers, for a lot of the part. They believe in decency, for the most part. They despise Nazism, for the most part.
I love the French too, they are wise people, though it may take getting to know them to reach this conclusion since a lot of people throughout the world view them as rude. What I try to express in my blogs are truth rather than bias towards one particular group.
