As an American you can make fun of America all you want. It sucks here.

The only Europeans I’ve had a problem with are the Danes. They have absolutely no sense of humor.

Or was it the Swedes? I don’t know. I mean they’re right there together. They’re basically the same people right?

Hehehehehehe

There are only two types of people I hate. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.

Why not the french or the british?

You might not, but I haven't heard them apologize for the Congo.

I agree, but I don't think in black and white. My Dutch friend is probably completely oblivious to any of that, and he is a good person. Most people are probably in that same situation.

Would it be good for the government (or any government) to come out and apologize for shitty things that happened in the past? If course. But that isn't a reason to use blanket "we hate these types of people" statements seriously.

No, sorry, they have a blood debt, they must be purged.

First of all: How dare You!?

They have absolutely no sense of humor. Or was it the Swedes?

It's definitely the Swedes.

Denmark is the one next to France right? I forget

No, we're Germany's hat. Tiny, tiny hat.

[–] nodsocket@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Oh so you're basically just Germany. Got it

[–] MartinXYZ@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Rather that than Swedish!
