Other than spouting a lot of aggressive nonsense, do you even read stuff before you respond? I HAVE BEEN INFORMATIVE with the best of intentions before you jumped on me for no good reason:
- It IS REAL BEER (or can be), and the law permits parents to exercise discretion.
- 16-year-olds don't need parents' permission. (legal drinking age)
- Kids in pubs are often drinking sodas which onlooking foreigners confuse with beer and are shocked because of it.
If you want to have a private conversation you shouldn't post in a public forum. There is absolutely nothing wrong with jumping in and taking part; the social aspect is the whole point of a comment section. WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?
Everything.
That right there, that explanation laid out in fine bullet point detail, was it difficult to do without throwing in your negative opinion about any other country?
This doesn't need to be private. And because it's not, when you deliberately direct attention away from yourself by berating somewhere else completely isolated from the conversation and someone mios happens to be from that somewhere else they're gonna get defensive. Public, private, doesn't matter.
Thanks for the criticism free information, that's all I asked.
I'd rather not do this anymore. We don't have to agree with each other and I'm traveled plenty well enough to have a deep appreciation for cultural differences. Add to that it's a virtual conversation, language barriers, misunderstandings aren't too uncommon.
If you didn't intentionally belittle American children for no reason other than to defend Germany, forget I was ever here.
🇧🇪🇺🇸
Me neither. I don't belittle anyone intentionally, not ever. As to America, nobody loves it more than I do. I enjoyed and treasure my time there, and I'm married to an American wife. That doesn't mean I can't see things I can't agree with. I'm not the "rah, rah, rah" kinda guy. Not defending Germany either, there is plenty wrong here.
Yup, that was my first thought. Glad we cleared it up.
Anyway, have a wonderful day and I hope you can come and see us soon enough. Winter in the Garmisch area is magical, albeit not this year, on account of once again tightened COVID restrictions :-(
