Love and tears
“Then, the British learnt to cry in public. Now, the Germans are learning to love themselves.”
After 60 years of shame, Germany flies the flag again (The Times Online)
Wo waren die Typen dann 1989 und 1990? Vom “neuen Nationalstolz” les ich schon seit Ende der 80er.
Ja, aber echt. After 20 years of writing the same stories, we simply write them again! And again! And again!
And now that we know how to cry in public, we will make use of this newly gained capacity if you accuse us of being repetitive.
btw: “Germany has not seen such an outpouring of national pride since the start of the First World War in 1914”

An der Stelle hab ich aber auch ganz laut HÄ? gedacht. Und wenn es so wäre, was würde dann kommen, jetzt?
