	I think I met that German guy... Inflate your Upload Space

I was in a resort in Tagbilaran (an hour and 20 by jet boat from Cebu) City a couple of years back and a white guy crossed in my path, so I politely said, hi, excuse me. He replied "shizza" or however you spell the German word for sh*t. Well I couldn't care less about the miserable German SOB so I just smiled at his arrogance and went about my pleasure.

In the Philippines the Germans are famous among the native population for assholism...which they are known for pretty much everywhere. I much prefer a German on his home turf where in my experience they can be fairly nice folks. I have some very good memories in fact.

Stefu, where did you pick up this bit of news about Cebu? Was it a US civilian or US military? Fair amount of that in Cebu these days...

	Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I saw bars in Spain, or was it Greece that didn't allow Germans in because they were trouble makers .
I have seen quite few of those (bars that is).
So they're quite known in many places.

But to their defense I have to say that I don't know a place that has dumber acting people than here. We have good old bar fights etc, chairs flying around. Seen it many times. I can't go out and NOT see a fight or just plain beating. Also women won't put out, so I guess that's where all the aggression is coming from.

I don't think this is true. A major survey of top tourist locations around the world last year ranked the Germans as the most-desired tourists, with Americans coming in second. And this was even with the Germans being notoriously cheap tippers. I've certainly never heard of them having such a reputation. Now the Brits, however, are generally regarded as loud, obnoxious fight-starters.

are you sure it wasn't brits?

or maybe they didn't let germans in because the bars were already full of brits. I know a lot of them don't take kindly to germans, especially when beer and football is in the picture.

Given that the most desired qualities in any tourist are cash, an unadventurous nature and extreme gullibility, is that a rating you're proud of?

Iraq- my ass. The media is just twisting it as usual. Obviously the real, underlying reason was probably that the ignorant american just walked up to the chair at the hotels pool where the german guy had put his towel at dawn and just took it!

a bush bashing thread is not automatically an american bashing thread.
in this thread you donīt even talk the issue before you go to your typical german-attitude. this one has nothing to do with politics, culture or whatever. one german behaves like a moron so all germans are morons, thatīs what this thread intends do say.

That wasn't the ranking in the survey. Germans scored high marks because of willingness to learn the language, quietness, politeness, and willingness to eat the local cuisine. Their lowest marks were in spending, actually, as they are stingy bastards.

Have been there. Knife fighting is to the Phillipines what golf is to the U.S. Phillipinos are the best knife fighters in the world, IMO.

It's the Viking blood in the English. The epitome of good manners at home, but as soon as they cross a border the instinct to pillage emerges.
