it's all good, until the end, when the german judo team does that nazi salute..:confused2

i just find the context and timing of it all too awkward and ironic.

Yeah, it's not like the British, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Americans, Japanese, Chinese or Russians have any blood in their history.

To name but a few.

I know what you mean though, i feel the same whenever i watch or read the news.

Absolutely true, but in situations like these I don't want anybody to known that I'm German... :confused2 I'm not saying that there is a perfect nation out there (even though I quite like the Swiss neutrality! :wink:).

at the end of the day, the entire world was the victim of the WWII... ordinary Germans and Japanese included.

Well, I guess humans just aren't made to be perfect... Quite a disillusioning discovery.
