Post a random fact about your area . . .
. . what I mean with this thread is . . how is your area perceived in your country ? ( there are stereotypes being associated with any country of our race and then , again ,with certain areas within these countries per se . .) . . You might also recite how many foreigners live there and so on . .
- - - I am Northern German . . I view myself as such and identify with this . . The German peoples are not a unitarian people . . Germany , from its beginning , has been a collecting-place of different Germanic peoples ( hence , in the English-speaking world , the name 'Germany' ) . . They were all unified under the Franks in ancient times ( Charlemagne ) . . After the great migration of the Germanic tribes in ancient times different Germanic peoples / tribes lived all across Europe . . . They were all gotten together into one empire under Charlemagne ( at least many of them ) . . That's how Germany came to pass .. Needless to say ,the differing mentalities within Germany to this day still largely stem from the difference between those tribes and their languages . . Even though all Germanic languages of old were related to each other , there were clear differences . . Also between Nordic Germanic tribes and Alpine Germanic tribes.. That's why we have so many dialects in Germany today , often very different from each other . . - - - My area ( Northern Germany ) . . We are often called 'Northern lights' or 'fish-heads' within Germany ( in translation ) since the northern part of Germany is the only one with acess to the sea . . ] Furthermore . . Northern Germany is largely the place within Germany where people are said to not really have a dialect per se . . . ( Little explanation : Standard German as it is known today was standardized by the Protestant reformer Martin Luther . . The Northern Germans were among the first to 'take over' "Luther's German" , in the beginning only the upper-class there , in time it became more or less the standard for all of Northern Germany . .) . . The original dialect spoken in the northern German region is today called 'Plattdeutsch' , based on old Saxon .. The best German is said to be spoken in Hannover , Lower Saxony today . . ( I was born in Lower Saxony , even lived in Hannover for some time . .) Furthermore , northern Germany is perceived to have a very kind mentality among 'people from beyond' ( it is one of the most popular travel-regions within Germany . .) Concerning Bremen , my home town , a trait of character which is associated with the hanseatic peoples in general is that they are helpful . . I suppose without these often held up things Northern Germany would be even poorer than it is presently ( the south is relatively rich in Germany , the north . . not so much . .) . . We get a lot of tourists. - - - Concerning foreigners . . Northern Germany is not that bad hit with other races ( some cities though ) ,more of them in the south ( where all the money is . .) . . - - - That's it for me . . how 'bout your respective areas . .? P.S.: The melody for this song was taken from 'The Wild Rover' |

My area is notorious for all the meth and pill heads. However, there are some of us who'd like to see justice exacted against these criminal, degenerate scum.
I think Germany had a great idea with work camps, and that's where junkies need to be sent. I'd have them out in the fields stacking hay bales sun up till sun down, 6 days a week, for 3 hots and a cot, working for the biggest asshole they've ever seen. I'd love to apply for a "coordinator" role.

lol . . on a side note . .
One of the slogans of the German federal area of Baden-Württemberg is . . "Wir können alles . . ausser Hochdeutsch" ( "We are good at everything . . except for standard German" ) lol Which means that this area has masters in all fields ( today also one of the richest areas in Germany ) . . And indeed a lot of 'geniuses' throughout time stemmed from that area . . People like Hegel or Schiller . . The other half of the slogan implying that the only thing they have difficulties with is communicating standard German . . lol And , indeed , the dialects spoken there are alleged to be very hard to understand by 'outsiders' . . They are mostly based on schwäbisch ( Swabian ) . . Since I've mentioned the good standard german spoken in my area today , I suppose with areas like Lower Saxony the slogan might be turned ( a not-so-well-off area financially and also difficult when it comes to job-market . . . except for the 'good Hannover-based German' spoken there . . . ; Hannover-German , when compared with the English-speaking world , would be our Oxford-English , lol ) . . So I suppose the slogan of areas like Lower-Saxony could be . . "Wir können nichts . . nur Hochdeutsch" . . lol . . Just a little self-irony on my part . . - - - Some areas in Germany truly need to lift themselves up . . Last edited by ColdFire; April 5th, 2019 at 09:32 PM. |

If they can be reclaimed at all, I can agree but it'll never happen under the current US legal system. They're public health threats causing epidemics in a number of cities, including mine, and should be handled as such.
