Why is America treated worse than Germany?

You add up all the civilian deaths from America's birth, up until today. Japan, Vietnam, Iraq. It's only a FRACTION of what Germany did.

Germany killed 6 million Jews in cold blood. America accidentally killed civilians in an attempt to END wars or take down evil regimes.

So why is America criticized when all the accidental civilian deaths are a mere FRACTION of what countries like Germany and Russia have done? I think don't think Germans are in any position to judge ANYBODY. That country will have to live down what it's done, and they will have to be humble and not criticize anyone. That's what happens when your country is responsible for GENOCIDE.

Coming from a Jewish heritage I have to say honestly get over it. What the Nazis did was atrocious but that was a long time ago now. Sometimes you have to let things go and stop blaming a country for its past.

The reason people can complain so much about America is what they are complaining about is happening in present day

Both did horrendous things. Why are you trying to quantify it?

because all the fat, unscrupulous Americans drive their hummers around laughing about it? jk

because the only way to judge and stereotype nations is by how many people they have killed :roll:

Because America's dubious role in international politics continues today whereas Germany's role in WW2 is such a long time ago that not many people that took part in those crimes survive to this day.

And I'm not sure about America getting treated worse. Everybody someone mentions Germany or German every mongrel out there is cracking jokes about Hitler and the Nazis, as if Germany is nothing more than that.

Yeah, the wrong doing of other countries doesn't make your country immune to criticism from the citizens of that country.

Well, first of all, Germans and Nazis are not the same thing. Stop generalizing.

Second, it's because the holocaust has long been history and most people alive don't remember it. However, Americas committing these crimes at the present day. Now, Germany is easily one of the best countries in the world

America is teh Eviilllzzz!!! It's a terrorist organization out to destroy and kill every civilian!!

That was sarcasm in case your detector is broken.

Both countries have dark histories. However, the Germans in particular are ashamed about even talking their past-they've suffered a hell lot with the post-WWI debts and Hitler's rule, not to mention the Iron Curtain dividing their country for over half a century.

However, I've seen Americans boast about their feats but they act like their past didn't exist. Note that this is not directed at anyone should they feel offended. They've also lied and cheated to get what they want-their government is just that shadowy.

[QUOTE="testfactor888"] The topic creator was blaming Germany for what happened with WW2 hence why I said what I did. Alright?CannedWorms

Did you not read the first post? He wants Germany to be blamed still for what happened back in WW2. He wants them to live in shame forever

It seems to me that what a country is doing right now is a bit more relevant and deserving of present criticism than what a country did some 65-70 years ago.

You say that like that isn't already the case. WW2 still is one of the most 'popular' subjects both in school and in popular history because its impact is undeniable.

And for those people who thought Germans were all Nazis during WW2, no they weren't. The Nazis were Hitler's personal elite force responsible for the atrocities-most of the men doing the fighting for him were enlisted German soldiers.

Only when the Allies beat him back into Germany did Hitler's elites take action.

IMO, every student should be educated on WW2.

Should we just "get over it" and stop jailing Nazi's who committed war crimes?

CannedWorms

If we're talking about right now, then I don't see what purpose would be served by tracking down some old man who poses no threat to anyone and jailing him for something he did 65 years ago.

There isn't really a point for jailing some Nazi leader-he was just probably following orders from a higher chain of command. So what if you execute or force him to rot in a cell? It's not like it's going to magically resurrect 1 million prisoners of war.

I'll admit, I lol'd.

They have done terrible things so they should all be exposed for what they did. It doesn't matter how long ago it was, justice is justice.CannedWorms

What justice? Does jailing them undo the damage of the Holocaust? Does it bring back friends, family, loved ones that people lost decades ago? Does it rewrite history such that WWII never happened? Any of those would be justice. But what you speak of is simply revenge.

There is no real "justice" in the world. The sooner one realizes this and adapts their world view to accept this fact, the better.

Because the world works only on a "what have you done for me lately" mindset. America's the whipping boy today. Tomorrow, our self righteous friends may find someone else to pin all their failings and insecurities on.

By the way, America didn't simply kill civilians via the atom bombings, their firebombing campaigns also killed countless innocents.

Because all us obese people in the U.S are retaining more heat than most others, thus they are HEAVILY (no pun intended) contributing to global warming. That's why everyone hates US.
