    Well, Ulli's birthday was a hoot.

    He happens to be a chef, and a bloody good one too.

    He spent a fair percentage of his birthday in the kitchen and treated about fifteen close friends to an extraordinarily sumptuous meal.

    First there was a few nibbles like guacomole and kangaroo meat roulade on pumpernickel with a wasabi mayonaise, then a steaming bowl of massive south east Australian mussels in a wine and tomato broth followed by magnificent slabs of Tasmanian Atlantic Salmon baked brilliantly with a hint of pink left in the middle which basically dissolved around your tongue, accompanied of course with some Margaret River wines then a stupendous chocolate cake and Ulli's best ever pavlova.

    Fuckin' awesome!!.. Love those Germans.

    Ulli by the way has well honed sense of humour and the night was a resounding success.

    MZ, are you being discriminated against or stereotyped?

    The war started in 1939. America declared war at the end of 1941 and fought until late 1945. You call that "the last minute"?

    The Germans are a great people. Its a shame a select few created such a long-lasting stigma.
    I think if people, namely Americans, should take a good look at the new Germany, this residual idea would be dispelled...

    I for one will not sympathize with Germans.

    I agree, it is completely ridiculous to talk about it in this day and age, but there has been some major injustice done in WWII and it isn't the aggressor that paid for it. I will not drive a VW, the company was built on unethical practices... other than that, I really don't have anything against Germany or Germans. I really want to visit the country one day

    I don't have enough grasp of the Russian character to make fun of them.

    That's not discrimination. You just ran into the same sort of dickhead that I encounter on occasion telling "Dumb Polack" jokes.
    Fuck 'em.


    Any idea what sort of unit he served in, or where ?
    Just curious.



    It's because you Krauts were supposed to help them Micks throw off the yoke of the Limeys, and when you didn't deliver the goods, they had to put up with Perfidious Albion's kinky boot on their necks a while longer.

    I have a German last name and look Germanish. (I am about 44% German + 29% English + 25% Swedish I never felt any anti-German attitudes in the USA except in movies and TV from my childhood.

    My father, who grew up during WW2 was told and believed that my family name was from Alsace Lorraine. He had been lied to apparently by his father. I did the Genealogy. The family name came from a small town near Frankfurt and nobody in my family ever lived in Alsace Lorraine. The lie must have been to protect from anti-German attitudes during WW2. The family name is not an obvious German.

    Germans are the largest ethnicity in the USA.

    The Serbs are not over their defeat by the Turks in 1400 yet. Still, the anti-German got replaced by Anti-Russian and the Anti-Russian got replaced by Anti-Mexican which has been partially replaced by anti-Muslim. Looks like Germans are in the clear.


    The guy was a Holocaust minded crackpot. Pity the guy and move on. Normal Americans won't recognize a German flag when they see one.

    Russia: Tetris, rats, and rock-and-roll.

    In Soviet Russia, Tetris plays YOU!!
