hankor posted:The reason Germany is upset with Greece in particular is because they flat out lied about their situation without having a contingency plan, which has almost nothing to do with the Euro itself and everything with a laissez faire approach when it comes to taxation and corruption. It reeks of hypocrisy though when (german) politicians feign outrage now even though they clearly knew what was going on. It's not as if it wasn't known that greece bend the rules. They all looked away and hoped for the best.

I ultimately switched to them because it took me OVER 2 MONTHS to get a connection with 1&1 set up and I rage cancelled my contract. You should be more than happy that you did not end up with 1 & 1. They are the worst company I've ever had the pleasure to be involved with. Telekom is chicken poo poo compared to them. I've changed from telekom dsl light 1mbit to 32 mbit with unitymedia (128 mbit is available but overkill) and so far I really get around 4 mb/sec down.

They didn't sell poo poo, the law firms got a court order (probably Landgericht Köln) to hand over your details. They also didn't force you to pay € 10.000, they wanted you to sign a document stating that you stop uploading xy and in case of further violations you agree to pay € 10.000 per infraction. That declaration would have been valid for 30 years.

Ok, I'm not going to argue with you, but a standard Abmahnung follows what I've posted and I'm certain that that is what has happened (because I see it daily). One way or the other Telekom did 100 % not sell your details.

I went to Realschule even though I was strongly advised to go to a Gymnasium. All my friends went to the Realschule and my parents didn't mind me joining them. I changed after 10th grade and it wasn't really a problem. The only thing that I'm missing is a Latinum, but who really cares about that.

I can't tell you much about the university, I studied elsewhere, but I'm from Paderborn and can tell you a bit about the city if you have questions. The one thing I can tell you though is that the university is at capacity. With the high influx of students due to the end of conscription and the change to a 12 year abitur lectures are held in old furniture stores and I think last year even in tents.

You probably played too much Fallout. Anyway, getting back to the school/Abitur discussion: http://www.spiegel.de/schulspiegel/wissen/0,1518,792562,00.html Looks like some experts have a proposal for a slighty different abitur system: In addition to the regular abitur exams, they propose nationwide, centralized tests in german, maths and english. Those would be 90 minutes each and are supposed to be written nationwide on the same day. The tests would be created and later corrected by a centralized body. They propose multiple choice or essays as an alternative. Tests would count 10 % towards your abitur grade. If I take my abitur from days of yore. I would have done these stupid tests in german, maths and english and then 5 hour exams in english, social sciences, maths and an oral exam in history. Looks a bit redundant. a. So you create all this bureaucracy for a measly 10 %? b. One day, three tests in 3 different subjects? Who really thinks that is a good idea? c. Multiple choice sucks. d. Won't happen anyway. elwood fucked around with this message at 13:16 on Oct 19, 2011 |

Without having seen it, I guess it's: Brian Griffin: Yeah, about your pamphlet... uh, I'm not seeing anything about German history between 1939 and 1945. There's just a big gap. Tour guide: Everyone vas on vacation. On your left is Munich's first city hall, erected in 15... Brian Griffin: Wait, what are you talking about? Germany invaded Poland in 1939 and... Tour Guide: We were invited. Punch vas served. Check vit Poland. Brian Griffin: You can't just ignore those years. Thomas Mann fled to America because of Nazism's stranglehold on Germany. Tour guide: Nope, nope. He left to manage a Dairy Queen. Brian Griffin: A Dairy Queen? That's preposterous. Tour guide: I vill hear no more insinuations about the German people. Nothing bad happened. Sie werden sich hinsetzen. Sie werden ruhig sein. Sie werden nicht beleidigen Deutschland. You will sit down. You will shut up. You will not insult Germany. [Throws his hand up in a Hitler salute.] Brian Griffin: Uh, is that a beer hall? Tour guide: [Snapping out of it] Oh yes, Munich is renowned for its historic beer halls.

Germany did not really confront it's Nazi past before the mid 60s. Without the student movement of the 60s it would probably still be somewhat of an off limit topic.

The whole discussion is absurd anyway. In 40-50 years people will look back and think "What were they thinking?". I don't get the "marriage is under special protection by the constitution, therefore civil unions (aka gay marriage) can't be treated equally" argument. The constitution grants marriages special protection. No lawmaker can take those rights away. That doesn't mean however that other institutions like civil unions can't be granted equal rights if there is enough backing by lawmakers to get it through parliament, it just means that, unlike marriage rights, those rights could theoretical later be taken away. Let's just make marriage a religious thing and keep the state out of it. Call everything else civil unions, change the constitution to reflect it and be done with the whole mess.

There is enough trouble in the Burschenschaften as it is and it's basic knowledge that a lot of them are far, far to the right. I mean after that one Burschenschaft actually wanted to introduce a kind of Ariernachweis and a member called Bonhoeffer a traitor and stated that his excecution was legaly justified, there is nothing else they could do to shock the public. I find it unexcusable however that the CDU tolerates someone that openly expresses views like you stated even if he is only an intern. If that behaviour became openly known, and that it is being tolerated by the party, there would be an outcry.

The fact that the constitution grants special protection to marriage does not mean that other forms of marriage/civil unions can not be granted those same protections as well. It just means that, unlike with marriage, those rights/protection could theoretically be taken away again.
