  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

    Our financial issues were in no way as threatening than yours. Germany never lost its AAA rating. We fixed it 2003.

    You should ask your question to yourself. A society where you can´t let childs go outside is a broken society in my opinion.

    You can see on the example of your "father in law" that you get much chances, when you are a good worker and you are able to learn good and fast. So in many american companies you don´t learn in some kind of "schools"?

    Depends what areas you mean. In germany we never had a loan bubble. It is not in our culture to make a loan to book a holiday. Here people safe to get what they desire. Loan politics of the banks are very strict. At the bank they check evrything if you are able to pay the loan back. In case of...

    Are you kidding? Germanys unemployment rate is much lower than that of the USA. We almost have complete employment for all. Our economy grows very much and is almost uneffected from any economic crisis.

    Here in germany we have something called common sense. Why do you think is the german economy far better and more productive than the american one? USA suffers from massive decay in industrial power. More and more american companies bring their production to other countries. I would assume...

    I think it belongs here. From my viewpoint your country has dramatic problems in its economy. One of the biggest reasons is the behavior of your workers. Education and so on is the duty of the american government.

    Well i hope that Merkel is kicked out of office soon. She is a bad chancellor so or so. Germany is doing good not because her but even with her and she must leave office as soon as possible.

    You work with americans of indian hertage. Not with indians. You never were there. It may be weird for you, but USA is not center of the world. Infact due to its massive downfall, its not even important any more. Now other opinions like China get more weight. And believe me, China couldn´t care...

    Execution of Osama bin Laden from german view point

    the big majority in the wold see Hitler as hero. Mostly in Asia he is seen as the one who caused the british empire to collapse. In India his book "Mein Kampf" is a bestseller. So which truth is true? Your western truth or the one from those 1 billion indians?
