Young German teenagers spend their weekend nights dancing in discos, while most comparable clubs in the US are off limits to those under 21

This is a good observation that can be attributed to almost every country outside of the US. I honestly think this is a significant reason why you have so many depressed kids in the US. They have nothing to fucking do. I'm still under 21, and I can... lets see, go to my friends house and get drunk, maybe go to one of the few few shows that are under 21 (not many that are good). That's about it. And that's what a lot of the options are for teens growing up in the US. There's nothing to fucking do.

Americans distrust big government, but they trust big corporations; Germans (and Europeans) distrust big corporations, but they trust big government.

Not a big surprise there.

we have the best football (soccer) team/players

so, STFU

U.S Why dont you cover things that Americans are harder workers and later in thier lifetime they will propobly become wealthy, while lazy ass germans go partying all thier lifes and are basicly broke most of the time? Your an idiot Hardprod, you are a brainwashed liberal who cares more about things that arent so important and you always want to let America down by the little negativity. I cant bealive no one tells you how shitty your threads are.

Dude, you do realise you live only one life right. Would you want to live your life constantly working long hours in your younger life so that when you are 60 and retired, you can finaly start living your life with economic freedom? Is that honestly how you want to live? Do you love the fact that in order to get your precious material possessions, you are going to have to sacrafice a large portion of your life to attain it. Is that the status-quo of life?

A better economy and more money does not mean better quality of life. A lot of people have this misconception through GDP, but if a drunk driver crashes his car into my house, that will increase GDP. The economy benifited, but I guess that's all that matters to you economical whores. And come on, a better military? Why don't you give some reasoning behind why working so much in your young life to be well off when you old is he best life to live.

I know I do have one life to live, and I don't want to waste it with stupid things and actually make something out of it. Become rich and wealthy and contribute something back to society. The thing is that people are different. Some are leaders, who work hard to get somewhere high in life, and the rest..well like you mentioned, they live for the moment. I do not like to live the moment. I like to think ahead and I like to plan things out. I do not want to waste my time with things that will only waste me time.

I do have fun, when I need to have fun. But at my age, I need to work and study, because its the only time in life where I can do that. Maybe your conception of living is that you have fun..and all your life you work for a company 40 hours a week. Well I'm different. If i had the chance to work more, I would because I dont want to work for this company, I want to own it. So one day, when I have everything else in line, I can fly with private jets and yatchs, etc etc. Dont think that I will be 60 when I do this, I can do this when im 35 or even 40, which is a perfect time to enjoy it. That will make me happy, and I'm sure you wouldnt mind too, but you just dont want to take that road, thats where it seperates us.

Well your right, there is no guarantee in anything. But why not take a chance. Do you think we have to think that..well you know..I might die one day...so I guess I wont do this? Is that how you think? At least if I die, Ill die with some money in my pocket.

yes. in other countries, like cuba for example (speaking from experience) MEN consider WORK to be a sign of who they ARE. meaning if a man there wins a million bucks he'll probably still go back to work.

Yeah, all you that bring up the whole American drinking age. Whats the big fucking deal? All of a sudden Europe becomes great since thier drinking age is like 16 in some places and 18. Eastren european countries, I dont even think there is a age limit, all they care is to get the money and not the childs after causes.
