Pinke für Linke! - introduction

[MadMarx]

Good evening ladies and gentlemen,
I think at first I should introduce myself. Well, I was born in the year 1984 and I have always been living here in Germany. I'm pretty satisfied with our democracy except there are many inefficient voters. I dream of a democratic communism in which everyone is equal. Of course I live very well in this social-state, but in the future it can not go on because of demographic causes. I'm going to go to the USA in an exchange to get to know if the Americans are that way I always have exspected. Now let us come to another topic: For me there is no God! To get more informations about me(I do not think there is anobody, who is interested in informations.) I will set another post.

where in germany do you live?
how do you expect americans to be?

[MadMarx]

Well, comrade, I live near Koblenz...I guess, it's not that informative, but it touches the middle-Rhine. Okay...maybe it's a huge prejudice, that I have an imagination of the US-Amis, before I have ever seen anyone, but I've two friends, who moved to the US this year and they say the Americans are pretty "kurzsichtig"shortsighted and "engstirnig"narrow-minded. Well, it's for example the fact, that you can't say your opinion if you're a communist, although the Americans say the USA would be the freeest country in the world. In Germany there is(e.g.) no immigration law(Einwanderungsgesetz) like the American one..in Germay quasi everyone could immigrate.

well, how many Asylum seeking people are rejekted each year? sent back home in airplanes strapped to the seats....

Germany may even get strikter laws it seems with recent events in politics...

People in Britain are completely opposed to immigrants and say "we're a soft touch", "Laws in Britain aren't a strict", "We pay them tens of thousands of pounds a year and they don't do anything" (when it's like £30 a week.) or "the number of non whites is about to out number whites"

What might be a better explaination as to why there are more asylem seekers than anywhere else in Europe might be to do with the fact that we don't have ID cards like the rest of Europe.

Well, I suppose you could say that the vast majority in the US are "Short sighted" or "Narrow Minded." And, there are many people who think that the immigration laws aren't stricket enough.

As far as communism goes, there is still a great fear of socialism and communism in the US. We on the left today are still fighting the against the after effects of McCarthyism. ( Joe McCarthy US Senitor in the 50's, Anti Communist)

You will find that some parts of America generaly have closed minded individuals... they tend to have right wing views... The deep south is an example of this.... However, there are also areas that have open minded individuals... they tend to be more in liberal or leftist communities like the north east... expecally in big cities like New York, and in California in cities like San Francisco.

It's a large countery, with alot of diversity really.
