still a depressing discussion on a very very low level

Brazil@ The mentality is totally different, but I think that most germans like Brazil, they consider it as an example of easy life style, beach and dance culture. Yes this is a very small view ...
But don´t praise your country only ... don´t deny the corruption, the abjective poverty in some slums and rural areas, the drug- wars, the discrimination of native indians and the power of the landowners

Americans@
Yes deep philosophical discussions about life, social models, religion or like that face many walls in germany, beause there are many taboos (religious issues like the conception of a law from god, the role of man and women in a society, conspirations, zionism and others).
If you break such taboos, you´re considered an outsider, while they consider themselves open- minded. Yes it sometimes hurts!

But don´t tell me that the american people in general are deep thinkers. Everyone who lived in america like the friendy, polite people there, the optimism and that you can deal with them in an easy way, but is surprised by the ignorance of many people in america. They only know the surface, if you talk about capitalism, socialism, the history of the european colonialism, the land occupation of the native indians and so on.

SO don´t blame others if you aren´t a lightening example too!!!

Many comments in this forum can´t convince me of the opposite

I had the deepest and most open discussion in syria, sometimes even a man who can´t read and write can talk with you about many interesting things. Much less taboos there ... In a coutry that is considered as depressed by dictatorship, an enemy of the free world and what tells us the western propaganda more ...
