Chorlini Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 1 hour ago, Isolathor said: We sure are. And we are not uniform, there is a large spektrum from the far (violent) left to the far (violent) right. We even have a large Jewish Community living in Germany despite what happened in the past. In fact my father grandfather was jewish, so my father was not drafted (he was called "not worth to serve") into the Wehrmacht. Instead he was pressed into forced labour, taken from school one day without even noticing my grandmother. He then build bunkers for the Atlantic Wall in France, living like a prisoner with no contact to the outer world. My Grandmother did not know he was alive until he showed up after the war. So if your father or grandfather stormed a bunker at Omaha Beach it was build by my father ..... But despite our widespread spektrum of hardliners most of us are kind of middle class, not to many poor people, not to many rich people, which makes living along quite easy in this country. I am not proud of being german, i did nothing to become one. But i consider myself lucky to be born in a country which is functioning quite well and in a climate which is not to extreme, but still has spring, summer, autumn and winter. One of my grandfathers had to live under Japanese occupation in Indonesia, the other was pressed into forced labor by the Germans too, having to work in factories getting bombed by the Allies. Ironically he always spoke highly of his treatment at the hands of the Germans. He wasn't that pleased about the Allies that liberated him. Apparently they robbed him of some things. In the end though the past, while it shapes us, is the past. Blaming people for what their grandfathers or great grandfathers did long ago is counterproductive. Unless they did something truly despicable that is still being glorified today. And I hope you got it that when I said that Germans are weird I meant in regards to WW2. Not wanting to wear certain clothes because they look 'militaristic' is 'weird'. And Germany's reluctance as the largest strongest European country and economy to build and maintain a proper military is causing a major European imbalance. No one is expecting the Germans to invade Poland or others again. But the lack of a strong German military at the heart of the EU is making the EU weak to other nations and over reliant on the US. And I think you guys deserve to be proud of modern day Germany. From the ashes of the Third Reich you guys built a nice country that half of the Middle East and Africa wants to live in, with strong democratic institutions, and a country that the entire EU looks up to for leadership. It could have gone a LOT worse. Look at the former countries of the USSR. Pride in your country or all forms of patriotism and nationalism =/= a return of national socialism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isolathor Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Well, there is a constitution, which was influenced a lot by the allies after the war. That constitution limits our war efforts for a good reason. The Bundeswehr only has the right to defend the own country within its boundaries. The german parliament did a wide stretch and some strange wording (armed conflict instead of war for example, or "protecting" Germany in Kundus) to enable the sorties in Afghanistan or Croatia or Africa. We, especially the generation born after WWII have been brainwashed to dislike any war effort. But now we are on our (slow) way to increase spending for the armed forces and reshaping them, because what we have was aimed at tank battles with the Warsaw Pact. ❤️ my wife in heels (and without ...)

Chorlini Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Well, I think the US and NATO have been quite keen to have that constitution changed for decades now. Just like the US would welcome a change to Japan's constitution for that same reason. Limiting what the Bundeswehr can do limits its usefulness to the US as an ally. Although it might have been a blessing in disguise preventing you guys to join into some of the US crazy military adventures like Iraq or Syria. Still, knowing that there is a strong capable Bundeswehr in their rear to back them up might make the Poles and the Baltics stop looking for Washington for military protection all the time. Which in turn might make the Russians less nervous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max of 1 entry per-month of no more than 2 pictures. No pictures in bedrooms/toilets! (Thats just creepy) Bonus points for full body photo More bonus points if photo is in public. Competition open to all members. No pics of just your feet. Picture must have been taken in 2021. In Jan 2022 the Winners will be announced. Hopefully, if the world hasnt destroyed itself by then, I'll be able to send the winner and a runner up a little thank you gift. Hello Tech, we're still here, who's the winner?

But i would like to see a male winning this and the other competition. Because you can find tons of pictures of beautiful women in heels on the internet, and it is no problem for them to dress classy and go outside and be seen in these outfits. But it is different for men and from my knowledge (from friends, also from forums like this one) much more difficult to do so. So a male winner would encourage these men. 3 ❤️ my wife in heels (and without ...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba136 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) The time right now where I live is 7:50 P.M. EST (19:50 hours). And this website’s statistics show that there are/have been 137 people logged into it over the past 30 minutes that the website captures on a rolling basis. Out of this number only two people are noted as being members. The rest are noted as “guests.” The Forum index indicates that the last posted comment was recorded 13 hours ago. There is no way of telling how many other guests or members have been viewing our comments over the past 12 hours. But, when I was here at 08:30 this morning, the website statistics reflected a total of 108 people logged in with 5 of these being members, the rest noted as “guests, with only one comment recorded. While our forums statistics indicate quite a bit of interest on the subjects covered here, the lack of comments placed is really disappointing. Frankly, I don’t have any idea on how to elicit comments that would make the place more interesting. Any ideas anyone?

Shyheels Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) I’ve wondered the same thing. I know that if one wants to join there can be quite a gap in time sometimes between signing up and getting their account activated and that may cut down on converting guests to members, and thus eliciting comments, posts and new threads. Aside from that I don’t know how one gets a larger more active membership. It isn’t as though we are a cantankerous lot, bickering amongst ourselves and putting off newcomers. I’m a member of another forum - non-fashion - but have never posted there because the members there are so incredibly unpleasant, both to each other and any newcomer who posts. I joined as I was seeking information but the idiotically toxic atmosphere put me off completely - and made me realise once again what a pleasant and benign place this is. Whether it is an embarrassment about their interest in heels, or that these guests are looking for something different or the time lag in getting an account activated, it is a real shame that at least some of these guests do not become active participants Edited March 3 by Shyheels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlroseplant Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 You can add my name to the list of people who are somewhat at a loss. I do try my best to make things varied and interesting. I don't know if it's a systemic issue with the site itself, or a broader societal one. I think that perhaps the fetish people far outnumber the fashion people. I think in this day and age of social media, perhaps we are just too slow and too boring for modern attention spans. On the other hand, that doesn't explain the 100-and-some people who always seems to be lurking. Who are these people? Are they the same people, or are they a continually rolling audience? Whoever y'all are, howdy there Internet people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
