  1. You can be sure the Germans haven't forgotten about the past because they are still being constantly reminded about it. Surely you can understand that most have absolutely no desire to dig deeper anymore and maybe are even annoyed by it because it has been rubbed to their faces for almost a century now? I honestly don't know of any country that has done more to acknowledge and memorialise the mistakes of its past than Germany. Most families harbour some sort of personal history from the war, the majority probably had family members that served as simple conscripted soldiers (no different from any other nation that was involved in war), some surely had family members that were at some point sympathisers or members of the party, much less had family members directly linked to the top tiers of the regime, etc. I think the current 30-40 year olds are the last ones who still know that part of the family history as we had our grandfathers living through that time and our parents born shortly after, so probably heard at least some of the stories growing up. I also think for the majority is simply a fact and not something you would over-analyse anyway.

  2. Champions don't even care about the trophy. Treat it just like another item they can mess about with.

  4. It is funny that you would make this joke when I explicitly said that it doesn't matter what people ancestors did on personal level.

  5. Who gives a shit? It's called curiosity, it's called understanding the past. Shit, my brother has a different father and I know for a fact that someone in his heritage has shot Aboriginals but that has no bearing on himself as a human, why is that important? It's to understand and appreciate the past. When you know, that someone close in your heritage has done horrible actions, it makes it so much more corporeal. The moment it's forgotten is when it happens again. I was just curious about the degree of understanding German people have for their past especially celebrities, rather knowing the skeletons of the past, I now know that they hide their heads in the sand. So thanks for answering my question. I am and you are definitely related to murderers, rapists, and theives, and despite all that we are none of those things. Doesn't that interest you in the slightest? Despite the sins of the father humans carve independent roads? That in less than a century a country can go from being a fascist-ethno state to the forerunners of tolerance in Europe?

  6. When you're done watching it all, read this interview: https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-terror-inside-the-making-of-tvs-most-terrifying-new-show (potential spoilers, so avoid it before you're done ) gives a nice look at the story of the monster, among some other things.

  7. Haven't seen Devil-Dick Willie in a while. Looks like he's trying to become a comedian in the off-topic section. What a downfall.

  8. This may be of interest to some, probably not mind, but there’s a restructuring taking place in Non-League Football this year at the 7th (the current Northern, Southern and Ryman Premier’s) and 8th tier (the regional leagues to the Northern, Southern and Ryman leagues), where new divisions in the Midlands area will be created. I imagine this is due to the amount of travelling some teams do currently and because of the number of games postponed, meaning a more regionalised League should cut down on travel times/costs/player unavailability. Bishop’s Stortford had rearranged midweek games in Merthyr Tydfil and Hereford this season, so in theory, it should stop that sort of thing. The new leagues are shown on the maps in the link https://www.evostikleaguesouthern.co.uk/step-3-and-4-league-boundaries-for-the-201819-seas-47185 When the provisional divisions are drawn up, I’m unsure

  9. You got a lot on your mind for someone who comes from a country who basically wiped out all of the natives.
