    Okay, let’s just say I’m that dense. How else would you interpret my comment? How unproductive would the thread be?

      E.g. “It must be a genetic thing” or “Gee, they just have a genocidal culture” or …

      The way you phrased it also suggests the direction the discussion will go: It’s not going to be about genocides, it’s going to be anti-German, although genocides are unfortunately fairly common among humans. (Of course, “genocide” is a somewhat mushy politically-applied term as well which doesn’t help.)

        Lemme guess…

        You’re German, and you’re very proud of your country.

        I get that. It’s good to be proud of your country, but it’s also good to be open to other point of views.

        I’d understand the thread as author intended. Just my 5 cents. And honestly, it’s time to talk openly about it, even though the thread could diverge - in that case, weed the offensive comments, not censor beforehand.
