ok, i have to say, that Harregarre ist talking crap. The people in Netherlands hate us, thats right, just because of our history? so your stupid, these days are years and whole generations gone.... only because the netherlands never reached something in a football match you don't have to be angry. My answer to your question: My class and I stayed in a Hotel in Paris, a international hotel, so people from the whole world brasil unteil china had been there. We, the german people got to know some groups and everybody was glad to get to know us, for example because of the big best event 2006 th WM ( Netherland will never be so good as we did ) :P And when i asked them what they think about us, it was exactly the opposite of the opinion of the dutch guy here, the love the germans because of our food, partys and that we're so nice to poeple of other countries.....

Without necessarily wanting to be critical of the question or of the conversation, I protest against the very tendency to ask and answer such a question. I think that both activities are too deeply rooted in stereotypes and therefore promote a lack of actual thinking. It's almost as if we wanted to crystallize some nice figure that's supposed to represent a people and put it on our shelf and make life easy for ourselves by always referring to it.

I love Germenies coz They are serious and hardworking people .

Unfortunately many people in other nations have a complete wrong figure about Germany or Germans, i think. Ok, the association between Germany and the National Socialism, the Nazis and World War 2 are prevelant in many nations but i never heard, that's the main reason, why many dutch peoples don't like Germany. And yeah, in every Nations there are nice people and bad people so it's wrong to think the typical german is mostly a cold person or a racists. Well, exceptions exists but in the end most of the germans are nice and friendly people.

They're okay. Just like with any place there are nice people and bad people. Anyway, here in the Netherlands we're not really happy with the Germans because of World War 2 and all. That's why we often call them "moffen" (pejorative term for Germans) and refer to their actions in World War 2. A common joke is to ask when the Germans will give all the bikes back they've stolen from us. Most of the time it's relatively quiet, until a football match between the Dutch and German national team or a match between a Dutch club and a German one. (e.g. PSV - Bayern / Ajax - HSV / Feyenoord - Vfb Stuttgart) This feeling is generally the same in ever country that has been occupied by Germany in World War 2, so you can expect the same negative feelings in Poland, Belgium, France etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP7oTlFhtdo <-- They're singing "All Germans are Gay!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcpD9kqZOTo <-- "All Germans are Gay!" again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dt5NLSFFGC8 <-- Same thing. Every time Seven Nation Army starts, everyone sings: "All Germans are Gay!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcLX8Zsjy9s <-- 0:50 "Those Germans are silent!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXcnJKQMvaE <-- Same sentiment in Croatia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVXAUXa3JSo <-- Similar attitude in Poland http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-rtArc3cAI <-- some German leaves his flag on the car in the Netherlands... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGIhsqFv9aI <-- haha :D "Too bad Germany, everything's over for you!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdVEpFO458I <-- Dutch fans rooting for Croatia when they beat Germany http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCLE7klmujI <-- Croatian and Dutch fans celebrating when Germany is beaten Basically Germany as a country is very impopular. However, it's not like Germans are spit at when they come here as tourists.
