Even though most of these points are clearly exaggerated, there is a certain kernel of truth in each one of it. However, point number 16 counts only for the high and middle German dialects. We don't place articles infront of names in Northern Germany.

I guess that once Europeans will really start to realize and feel that they have become a minority, they will protect themselves much more against the immigrant groups, in the same way Muslims are doing it right now. So instead of becoming extinct, I imagine a scenario which is similiar to...

What do the colors stand for?

Generally, the differences in quality between various German universities aren't as big as in many other countries. However, the best universities are considered: Ludwig-Maximilian-University Munich Techinical University Munich University of Karlsruhe (also a technical university) RWTH Aachen...

Some weeks ago I came up with the idea of installing pulse oximeters into smartphones. I thought of myself being very ingenious minded until I found out that proto-types of this already exist. But as simple build pulse oximeters per se are not very reliable yet, I can't think of broad...

I wonder what Radek's real ethnicity is.

Isn't it a little cynical to describe the concentration camp of Dachau as a beautiful place to be? Anyways, I voted for Brandenburg Gate. But only because I live just 15min from there and because of that reason try to persuade myself that it's beautiful lol

You are funny! So why didn't Greece produce it's own solar panels? Why didn't it manufacture it's oranges right where the oranges grew? Solar power is one of the energy sources of the future! And of course technological research has to be done to improve it's quality. Germany funded a lot of...

I just typed the words "high intelligence character" in google, and this thread appeared on third place! Now that explains something!

With every day that Mrs. Merkel interferes and meddles into internal politics of other EU states, I feel more and more embarrased and ashamed about our chancelloress. Especially the election campaign for Sarkozy yesterday, but also Merkozy's decision yesterday without the rest of the EU to...

??? :petrified: :petrified: :petrified:

It says that the "cider belt" is already included in the "wine belt". It somewhat correlates with the northern border of the "wine belt". According to wikipedia, regions famous for cider are South-West England, East Anglia, Brittany, Normandy, Basque Country, Principality of Asturias, Galicia...

Or they need less alcohol in order to feel the effect! Also an interesting site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_belts_of_Europe The alcohol belts of Europe

I think so, too! They're all from the Levant.

My feeling tells me that Scandinavia would be similiar to the Netherlands. Generally speaking for all Germanic countries (except Anglican), the locals are not known for being very open, and their culture for not very charming, same as for food and climate. Yet, the locals are relatively...

I have noticed the same among people. I have very bright-blue eyes, and am extremely sensitive to sunlight and even flashlight from cameras. However, when it's dark inside the house I am the last who switches the lights on, and I still read in the dark when others tell me they aren't able to...

It is very funny to see that when it comes to integrating into the local culture and making friends with locals, strong Muslim countries always score lowest -alongside with Netherlands... I wonder why? :thinking: On second glance, it seems that Islamic countries, North-East Asia (e.g. China...

I say Bulgaria, Macedonia or Greece.

Actually, what we are talking about is not even established social sciences, so don't worry! :laughing: I don't want to go too much into detail now and cut a long story short. I tend to agree that individualism vs. collectivism and the longing for safety vs. liberty (the risk avoiding theory)...

My thesis is that East Europeans tend to be more radical oriented, which includes "left" as well as "right". Although I agree that the traditional terms of left and right are not valid anymore. My personal observation is -but I might be wrong- that people in Europe nowadays tend to long for two...
