[QUOTE="Jürgen Hubert, post: 453800, member: 7177"] [b]Re: Re: Re: Re: Sad but true... and common[/b] Well, first we need to check if you are suitable for living here... If you have the choice between two fairly similar products, and one is cheaper, but the other one has better customer support, will you (a) take the one with better customer support, or (b) take the cheap one? If you bought a cheap product, and it breaks after the return date has passed, will you (a) shrug and say "I guess I got what I paid for", or (b) complain the store and sue them? When you hear another scandal involving money and politicians, will you (a) become more cynical, or (b) express outrage while you are looking for new ways to evade taxes? When you hear about new trends, business concepts, and ideas coming out of the USA, will you (a) use the good ideas while discarding the rest, or (b) use the [i]bad[/i] ideas while discarding the rest? If you live in an aparment block, and meet one of your neighbors on the stairs, will you (a) have a short, friendly chat with him, or (b) grunt, nod, and avert your eyes? If you neighbor's pea bush grows into your wire fence and causes it to rust, will you (a) say that it doesn't matter, or (b) sue him? If you answered (b) to all of these questions, you might just have what it takes to live in Germany... [/QUOTE]
