Who else is sick of the stereotypes surrounding their home state/nation/whatever?

[The Mad Hatter]

Because I totally am! D:<

[Mrk]

me too.

when I visit a foreign country and I say that I'm italian everybody starts to talk about Berlusconi and all the (bad) things he has done.

He's a DB, ok, but I'm sick of being associated to that stupid guy :sick:

[The Final Track]

Nah, it's just fun :P

[Batman]

*raises hand*

 

I fucking hate my country's past, I'm not a nazi DAMMIT! :shame:

[The Mad Hatter]

Nah, it's just fun :P

 

It might be in some cases, but there are some really hurtful ones out there, like "All Germans are Nazis" or "All Germans own hair chairs" or "All Germans want to create human centipedes".

Hair chairs? :uhoh:

[Empily]

I seriously think some of the nicest people I've met in real life and on here are German, so I don't associate them with being Nazi-like at all xD

I would sincerely hope that in this day and age, the stereotypical shit about the Irish being drunkards eating potatoes isn't believed by anyone anymore :shrug: ... though we do eat a fair amount of potatoes and we have a terrible drinking culture :|

 

Read this post on facebook earlier...it's painfully true to what we are like :uhoh: Especially the 3rd, 5th and the 9th one.

 

 

 

1. If you die from alcohol poisoning, you're considered a lightweight,
   
2. 'Fuck off' means 'Are you serious?', ... ...
   
3. The person that you insult most is probably your best friend,
   
4. Saying 'I will yea' means that you definitely won't,
   
5. "Fuck it, its grand' means that you couldn't be bother finish it properly,
   
6. Hes fond of a drink' means he suffers from severe life-threatening alcoholism,
   
7. Saying you're going for a drink means you might not be seen again for 3 days,
   
8. Crisps are called 'Taytos' and fizzy drinks are called 'minerals',
   
9. For the craic' is the best reason for doing anything,
   
10. The best cure for a hangover is more drink,
    
11. Nobody can go a day without saying 'Jaysus',
    
12. Meeting' has a double meaning,
    
13. Tea is the solution to every problem,
    
14. And water is the solution to every GAA injury,
    
15. "I got stuck behind a tractor' is a perfectly valid reason for being late,
    
16. We eat Tayto sambos for lunch, and ham sandwiches on the way to Croke Park,
    
17. You can insert the name of a gardening tool into any sentence and it still makes sense, e.g. 'I had a rake of drink last night' or "I'll be out in a minute, I'm just shoveling down the dinner',
    
18. GAA is considered religion,
    
19. Its perfectly acceptable to call your mother 'mammy' even though you are a fully grown adult,
    
20. Saying 'Now we're sucking diesel' means that you are happy with the outcome of the situation,
    
21. Drinking 'tae' is everyone's favourite past time,
    
22. You're scared of the wooden spoon,
    
23. The word 'like' goes in every sentence,
    
24. You can say "Any craic' to a garda and you won't get arrested,
    
25. 'The dogs' bollocks' means something brilliant

I was greeted with "Heil Hitler!" here in Peru ... and I was asked if Hitler still governs Germany ... and I was asked if there are still a lot of Nazis in Germany ...

 

Hey, I'd associate my country with all the different beers and cars they export and how the tag "Made in Germany" usually means that this is a quality product ... but whatever, associate me with the nazis, it makes so much sense since not even my parents were born when all that happened. :nod:

Hi compatriot, Sicily for me, so when I talk about my origins is the mafia in my own country of birth :lol:

but it's also good to Sicily, is origins the Greek and Arabic.

my brother - in - law is German

 

So I'm sorry but Nazism is Austria and not really Germany :thinking:

 

now because born in Fribourg or free-bourg I live in swiss I have dual nationality Italy-Switzerland thus neutral . and I live in a city of all nationalities is incredible .

[Tash]

No

 

Nazism (Nationalsozialismus, National Socialism; alternatively spelled Naziism) was the ideology and practice of the Nazi Party and of Nazi Germany.

 

Nazism was founded out of elements of the far-right and racist German völkisch nationalist movement and the violent anti-communist Freikorps paramilitary culture that fought against the uprisings of communist revolutionaries in post-World War I Germany.

Quite similar to Scotland. Similar cultures and all I guess. Scottish people get accused of being drunkards and everything and how people live to play on the fact that we are or was the "sick man of Europe" by saying how we've never heard of salad and all that. I have no problem with that though.

 

That said saying if you're a nazi if you're from Germany is low. The only stereotype I find mildly amusing about the german's is that they're a humourless nation! I always get the feeling that Germany is a very welcoming and respecting nation.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the mafia thing and that's quite annoying too :|

I hate the stereotypes I hear about America. For example:

 

1) All Americans are fat

2) Our government consists of fat white guys with too much money trying to soak the public for more money

3) We're so stupid we need labels on peanut butter to tell us that there's peanuts in it

4) All Americans eat McDonalds all the time

 

And so on and so forth.

 

 

These suck. For one thing, I'm a vegetarian and I'm not fat, I hate McDonalds!

Same for me, all the Germans I've met have been very friendly and welcoming, in fact it's something that really annoys me as when I've been to Germany, I have found the people to be great, and I hate to think of how some German tourists get treated by a tiny minority of idiots when they visit the UK.

I personally find stereotypes about my state more annoying than that of my nation.
