For reference, I'm Dutch and I've lived in Frankfurt am Main for the better part of three years now.

There's your problem.

But too many restaurants and the like still are loving unbearable.


The best is when the waiter knocks over your beer or drink, asks if you want another one, and then charges you for both.

Wait, I thought that was a "Dürum"?

Dürüm is basically döner wrapped up in a tortilla.
Lahmacun is basically a Turkish pizza.
But wrap that döner meat up in a Lahmacun and it's the best thing ever.

Is there difference in which magazines and periodicals Germans read based on where they live (West vs. East, North vs. South, etc.)?

I just want to remind people: The public prosecutor's office was very hesitant to even start investigations. Without public pressure they wouldn't have acted at all. And his university tried to protect him for too long, too. The university of Bayreuth has been a joke in the Geman academic world since then.

Yeah this was the funniest thing about it. They knew he plagiarized, but tried to cover it up.

No wonder, no one really gives a poo poo if he cheated on his dissertation except for those people that have to write their own and are envious that the minister post and the "von" doesn't come with it for free.

What difference makes it for his qualification as a politician that his dissertation did not entirely consist of his own work? He would very probably have made the same career without the title.
His charisma and appearance are what qualifies him as a potential future chancellor, not his ability to manage family, political career and scientific work at the same time. He lied, but so what, that's part of the job and he didn't do it in office or about anything Otto Normalbuerger would give a poo poo about.

What's wrong? He's a fraud. So what? Nothing to see here.

Interrupting Guttenberg chat to say that you shan't read the spiegel online or otherwise. Bad journalism is bad.

When you tell German's this, they get really upset.

Except that nobody will call him a gay fake-American Muslim and in fact the German media outlets that would be most likely to do something like this would not take his cock out of their mouths.

Why does that even matter? You think Obama and his presidency are going to be defined by a bunch of retards calling him a muslim jew nazi commie anti-christ?

You don't need to play that silly game, it was obvious hyperbole to emphasize a point.


What game? You put up a bad car analogy as if the two situations are in an way comparable. You have to be a special kind of person to think that getting a speeding ticket is the same sort of wrongness, or whatever, as plagiarizing a phd and lying to the population of Germany.
