* they believe every german is a nazi (www.dailymail.co.uk is to blame for that bullshit)
* believe they are the best football-country, but don't accept they actually suck (Good Premiere League Clubs have nearly allplayers from Africa) (:DDDDDD we are egoo about football)

•eating Sauerkraut and veal sausages NO
•wearing lether pants in bavaria yes
•nationalsocialistic attitude lol multikulti berlin city
•best engineers me not iz
•high ego me yes iz
* wearing clogs -> no
* ugly fashion -> apparently if you look at pictures of me, yes
* too much hairspray and styling gel -> no
* ugly language -> no (subjective though)
* very patriotic -> hell no
The very patrotic makes me laugh because I think we're one of the least patriotic countries EVER. It only kicks in when we're winning stuff at sports otherwise we're not so patriotic. Considering we don't win a lot in sports we aren't patriotic most of the times.
Dutchies are stingy though :P
when u flame some countries like germany, poland, portugal, spain, france etc...u will mostly get replies from mad ppl who live on those countries.
while if u flame finland, estonia, holland etc.. nobody of those will reply to u or if they do they will flame their own country just for the lulz:D
on guys its okay anyhow but on girls it sucks.
i think german is uglier tho.
ed: i can easily tell the dif cuz i hear speaking dutch evryday:D
And yea if you hear dutch all day you'll probably understand a few words and whne those words fall you'll emediately recognize if its dutch or german, but i dont think many ppl would.
I met 4 canadians on holiday @ mallorca, and when i said im from the Netherlands, one of them said: from where? the other responded with: that's germany right? and another said: no guys the netherlands is holland. so 1 out of the 4 canadians knew what 'the netherlands' were, if people dont even know the country, how could they see the difference between the languages:D
it just sounds like wannabe spanish and russian combined.
about spain i do like the language but it doesnt sound that nice. Catalan from catalonia on girls is hot, its close to spanish but instead we have more sounds. (and many more shit obviously, nobody in spain understands catalan unless they studied it)
But the catalan spoken in mallorca is ugly as fuuuuuuuuuck on guys its ok cuz its like a really "rude" (sounds manly) form of catalan (dialect) but on girls it doesnt fit..
i can speak both dialects so when i speak mallorcas catalan dialect in catalonia itself its nice cuz girls like it.
also something else about spain: They are the first ones to critize their stuff but when someone else from another country critizes the very same thing they go all mad (which is ironically stupid) its like they are ashamed of the country but at the same time they think that its the best place to live. (tbh if it wasnt such nice weather it'd be worser than poland)
Another one: nobody speaks english
one of portugal: They have hairy women with mustache

and girls here arent that nice, its just that here any girl with a decent body carries really light colthes on summer and they all look really hot. (krosan seen that)
we are warm but false at the same time. people here has a lot of prejudices against other countries and since nobdy speaks english here they dont mix with the tourists (except me XD i actually feel more comfortable with ppl from other places than locals)
+1 at mans are small (im like 180 cm myself which is tall here but kinda short in the NL for example) and mans with mustache... ehm not really maybe old ppl. and siesta is right too but we dont do it in catalonia, atleast i never did it and i dont know ppl who does it either.
France - see what i wrote about Poland
Nordic Countries - (i can only talk about sweden, own experience, 3,5 yrs of stockholm :D)
1. yes just yes
2. somtetimes, in summer its like 1-2 °C colder (approx)-->winter ye cold!
but in summer its not "schwül" (muggy?), because it is in germany!
3. ye kinda, didnt go to swedish school
4. no, but there are more sports they pay attention to
5. yes just yes
Gay language: No, hard to learn but not gay !
Gay people: No, omg !!!! We just admit them more than other countries imo
Eating baguettes: Yes, i guess that 90% eat baguette daily
Bad in everything: explain me? ok, we are not rly good to talk in other language than our.
But our education is ok, better than spanish, portugal, italy,etc.
We are quite good in sports.
Ps: great thread!
* Most people dont like the royalty
* There is the most clear divide between lower class <> middle class than any 1st world country I've seen. Lower class look like ugly apes, like football and east enders, violence, lazy and stupid, terrible diet and give us a bad rep.
* Take more recreational drugs than any country in europe
* Bad public sector because it employs all the niggas and other tards who cant work in private and unions stop them from ever getting fired
* Football: No one I know/ever met thinks national side england is good at football, leagues dont count because they are from so many countries
* eating Sauerkraut and veal sausages
i fucking love sauerkraut 8D but i know alot of people who hate it.
* wearing lether pants
nope
* nationalsocialistic attitude
nope
* best engineers
i guess so
* high ego
some have, some not.
wearing clogs ---- > only farmers
ugly fashion ----> guess so, but everyone is a stereotype, like emo's, goths, hiphoppers w/e
too much hairspray and styling gel -----> true 95% has gel in even if they have
their hair like casual down
ugly language -----> very, dutch is the whole way around if you wanna translate something to english
E: ik ga de tv aanzetten litteral translation > im gonna the tv turn-on'ing (very bad as you can see)
very patriotic ---> ye i think almost half of dutch ppl is
The list fits for me atleast (yes, i even hate football)
