I have some more questions, if you're willing to answer them.
1. What are the main news channels in modern Germany? What is the political slant of them? ARD, ZDF, WDR...all public channels that try to remain as neutral as possible. It's pretty stale stuff...left leaning though.
2. What are the main newspapers, and what kinda of slant do they have? Dunno, hardly read many newspapers. I get most of my news from Spiegel Online and various online sources. Many from international broadcasters.
3. Given how much of a strong work ethic the average German adult has, how are lazy people in the workforce treated? Fired, then tried, then executed?
Sure, if you are lazy and don't do your job you will get fired. Can't imagine it's different in any other functioning economies.
4. What kind of cars are Germans driving these days? Obviously the typical german cars...Audi, Mercedes, BMW, VW, Opel. I personally drive a Volvo V40. I really like it, same goes for most new Volvos. They have gotten more popular with their newer models.
Been seeing a lot of Skodas and Fords lately. They seem to be the new cheap but efficient middle class business person car.
See, Tar? I'm willing to give you another chance. I'm okay with letting you participate.
Also, I'm surprised in some ways that Germany didn't win WW1. They had a great army, and a great navy. They did keep the war going for 4 years, though, and that doesn't happen if the sides are very unevenly matched.
Thank you, ALIEN.
You know, it's funny. I hardly speak any German, and yet the 3 German posters on this board that I know of all speak very fluent English, to the point where a person would probably assume they were American citizens, or British citizens.
Of course, English is a much more widely spoken language than German, which explains why Germans seem to learn it so well. Probably the only foreign language taught in German schools.
German is a very nice language, though.
