Any advice for places to find information on getting a job in Germany? I have German citizenship, but I've been living in the states for most of my life. I have some family over there, but I could use some resources specific to moving there to work.
I've had good experience using monster.de and stepstone.de

Yes, there is one selection process, and that should be about skill and that works, but as you, not I, claim that process is also about social standing. And it clearly is working (although not perfectly, but no one claims that that's possible) most of the time, because, for the hundredth time, the top third of a German class constitute the top of the world. It's amazing and puzzling to me how this can't get into your head.
Well if you have the top third "smartest" german kids going against all finnish kids, cause the finns aren't segregated at school, then it's not really fair is it?

I agree that national borders are relevant to the reality of the world we live in but I was coming from an idealistic point of view I guess. The importance of arbitrary lines on a map that have changed so often in history seems silly and unfortunate. Culture transcends borders and inter-individual diversity is much stronger than inter-national one.

What you're posting is country-centered-egoism, kind of like the John Galt bs.

Heinz may also have cheated once or twice in school or copied his homework from his buddy.
Heinz also doesn't have a university degree, he understands that Guttenberg may have left out some footnotes/quotes, didn't say who he was quoting, but then Heinz also used some obscure REO Speedwagon song text when proposing to Gerda and he didn't tell her it were not his own words.
Heinz doesn't get why this sympathetic young politician, that even looks a little bit like Michael Ballack and stems from a good house, who is not gay, scarfaced or adopted from Vietnam, had to resign over seemingly some formal errors.
Heinz thinks that chucking stones at policemen and living in a WG with terrorists is a much bigger crime and that guy didn't have to resign.
Gerda also thinks that it's nice to have someone with a noble background in a important position in politics. Maybe his daugther will once have a beautiful wedding like William and Kate this year. Gerda also thinks, that for a change it's nice to have someone in a high position that isn't divorced at least once, it has been a long time since someone with good christian family values was in power and a "von" is more or less a guarantee for that.

Props on the sexism here, bro.

The dumbest thing is when poo poo like this happens


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika#Germany

A controversy was stirred by the decision of several police departments to begin inquiries against anti-fascists.[75] In late 2005 police raided the offices of the punk rock label and mail order store "Nix Gut Records" and confiscated merchandise depicting crossed-out swastikas and fists smashing swastikas. In 2006 the Stade police department started an inquiry against anti-fascist youths using a placard depicting a person dumping a swastika into a trashcan. The placard was displayed in opposition to the campaign of right-wing nationalist parties for local elections.[76]

I still don't get what german Leitkultur is supposed to be and how those who don't follow it are refusing integration and should be deported if they do anything wrong. Cause the only thing differenciating Murat the repeat offender who doesn't feel part of Leitkultur from Punker-Kalle the repeat offender who doesn't feel part of Leitkultur is their ancestry and that sure as hell shouldn't be reason to question the germanness or even deport one and keep the other.
