Hey Guys!
I'm 14 years old and from Germany, but although i'm the generation that hasn't to do anything with it, i'll always get connected with hitler and nazi-stuff!!! I just would like to know why!!! Things happened at that time were horrible but i cannot change it and it's OVER!!!!! If it would change something i apologie standing for every german for these things, but i can't do more than that!!!!!! So you all don't need to comment me with "sieg heil", "heil hitler" and nobody needs to ask me when "we'll attack poland again" or anything like that!!! I don't need that! I'm playing online chess since 2 years and always had to defend me for such accuses and i'm pretty SICK of it now!!!!!!!! Germany had to pay many prizes for hitler and his SH!T and i think the world needs to FORGET some things now!
Have any ideas?

Personally I don't think we need to forget it at all kind of reminds me of 1984. Although it is wrong to bring it up now with any German. Anything to do with the football coming up? I would leave any website that had that kind of behavior after sending a complaint. I know it is not a proper solution to the problem but for you it might work a bit, hide your nationality.
I don't want to hide my flag!!!!I want to show my flag AND want all to respect that! Just like i respect the english, french and american flag!
NO country i called has a completly clean flag......
Of course are here in Germany many nazis and racists BUT
1.America has much more racists (remember when this black guy got hit by the police)
2.i don't want to have anything to do with that hitler-stuff!!!
At uchess is it nearly everybody who lose against me what happends often because i'm a good blitzer :-)
But i like to see regard from you! Thanks
I want EVERYBODY to see that thread!

Originally posted by alive 69Hey yeah I'm sorry too. We know it isn't your fault and I imagine if that guy had turned up in our countries, even though we wouldn't like to admit it, we'd probably have done the same.

I'll tell you a story though.
A few weeks ago, some colleagues and I had to do some work in Amsterdam (great place by the way). We met up with a German guy who worked for one of our suppliers. He was a great guy, good fun and very, very good at his job. We worked with him for a week and took him out for a night on the town.
After he left and the evening was over, I asked all the others present if they had the same thoughts I had had. I mentioned that it had occurred to me that if it was fifty years earlier we'd have been shooting at one another. I wasn't proud of this thought but it just popped into my head. All the other guys had thought something similar even though we were all from different countries. We had a long discussion about this afterwards and all felt bad about it. We started to understand how difficult it must be for you guys.
So, yes, I'm sorry for all the crap you must get and the guilt you are made to feel. I've been to Germany a couple of times and found the people really great and friendly and I look forward to my next trip. Don't let it get to you, I don't think people really mean it when they tease you.
Edit:
And be proud of your flag. You guys have achieved a hell of a lot considering what you have been through.

We all have our cross to bear, Alive. Just give as good as you get and learn to live with it.
Hey Wheely you just got it!!!!
Another story:
My father is Architect and when he had a trip to Amseterdam he went in a restaurant and the waiter didn't go tó him!!!!!!!!In the end my father had to quit the restaurant and was accused to be "NAZISH!T"
That's ridiculous!!!!!!
just because my father is german he didn't get service eveerybody else got!!!!!
And i'll keep on fighting against such accuses against the wrong guys!!!! I was invoulved in a demonstration against Nazis and HATE them but it makes me sad that i'm going to connected with hitler.....
Thank you all for your regard!!!!! That makes the thing better.
To you peachy:
That's nearly the same, you know what i'm talking about huh?
That's the question, Delmer. Have i to learn with it or have i to complain about them! I think both is right, because i had to defend myself against these things two years and for every time i got upset with that i had better arguments!! You may imgine that if you get confrontate with these thigns as a 14-years-old-teen you don't know what to say.......
Most of them who used that hitler sh!t were americans and America has some things that aren't ok by them selves......
When i said someday i'm from germany, someone greeted m with "heil hitler" to be like that i must say to every American that the IRAQ-war was wrong but i don't do that because i know that every player here just want to play chess and hasn't to do anything with Bush or something that goes in that direction.....and i just expect that to me and i don't think that it's too much...
Thank you all again for your openion and regard. please keep on posting here

I'm from Canada. We club baby seals.
