Stereotype all you want Serpent, I have also been offended by a lot of Americans and British people (Think the same, love to remember the "Glories of WW2", nothing Glorious of death and I do not generalise on the latter, just my experiences with most Americans I meet, love to joke about Nazism and WW2 eh?). We don't bother with Americans politically or historically, or much of Europe as a matter a fact... Unfortunately our pro-American Governments say otherwise. I made that statement based on several real encounters and game encounters here with people being offended of how direct I am. So to assume is a good thing. Your society is built on euphemisms and reverse psychology, mine is not.
But I wont turn this into a Cultural and Political argument because of you, usually ends up in pointless patriotic tirades which no one likes, hence why I never mention my views on politics or the world stage.

Now you see my point? You made what could be taken as a slightly offensive remark about a group of people (easily offended Americans). However in truth Im not offended, as in reality there is prolly more truth to sterotypes than many of us would like to admit. But the point is, you took exception to the 'historically typical German' remark I made. Thereby displaying your 'sensitivity'.
There are many types of Americans as there are Germans. I know many Germans that have a wide range of personalities, some direct, like you say you are, some not so much.... just like Americans. There really is not much difference, maybe a small amount culturally, but even then, not as much as you might think.
As far as politics, I have no delusions that the USA is the one all and be all of the world. Nor do I feel that the Caucasian race is any bit superior in intelligence or ability than any other race.

Well Wolfie,
If your group comes under attack by Wendy, just because Star joined BME on LU, just to talk to me and Nico.........then I think that further validates that this player is not only a bully on LU but pretty much across the game.

I didn't have a problem with you calling me a historically typical German, I actually encouraged you to proceed, many Germans are used to foreign Ignorance... And there is a huge difference in regards to culture between America and Germany serpent... a Huge gaping one. Specifically in regards to traditions.
@Jan - Yes Jan, that would initiate a SC wide campaign to wipe her out once and for all, these times she must tread very carefully.
To one degree or another all nationalities have become accustomed to 'foreign ignorance'.
I suppose 'a Huge gaping' difference in culture is a point of view statement. Maybe others do not see the differences as being to grand only minor.
Oh well, tsk tsk.

I fail to see similarity... Perhaps Western Values, other than that... Maybe your statement better applies to there being really not much difference between the UK & the US, considering usage of the same language and other... resemblances.
