We’re number 1
Americans love to be number 1, that’s why we don’t play soccer against the rest of the world, we make up our own sports like baseball, basketball, and football. That way when Chicago beats New York, we can declare ourselves world champions once again.
It’s been a long and grueling two weeks, but we finally did it. Nothing For UnGood is the number 1 search result on Google for the term “hate root beer”.
Each post is carefully hand crafted only after drinking 24-36 ounces of black coffee. It is through this relentless hard work that we can finally declare “Mission Accomplished.”
Thank you to all who have made this possible: our parents for raising us to be such well adjusted citizens, our high school German teacher who made learning German fun by not making us learn genders, and of course our readers whose comments are much better than the rest of this site.

It’s hard to say but you are not number 1 for the term “hate root beer” anymore…

Just a point of precision:
basketball was invented by a Canadian.
who may or may not have hated root beer.

Alexandra,
I am so sorry to disagree, but it is a proven fact that Americans work
longer and harder than their German counterparts.
You might want to check this out and research on the internet.
I beg to differ with your opinion that only Americans do things wrong.
I am German, working and living in the United States.
I don’t think YOU, dear Alexandra, would ever make it here having this kind of STUPID attitude. Learn how ot spell, and learn how to use proper grammar….!!

What’s an ounce? I think it’s the sound my cat makes…
November 15th, 2008 at 5:38 pm
About 30 grams… which in this case is NOT the plural for grandmother.
Now that I did some research… the British often write it gramme and grammes. The French influence again, as it seems.

Collins English Dictionary Complete and Unabridged:
Gramm: Noun: a metric unit of mass equalto one thousandth of a kilogram. It is equivalent to 15.432 grains or 0.002205 pounds. Symbol g.
HISTORY: 18th Century: from Grench GRAMME, from Late Latin GRAMMA, from Greek: small weight, from GRAPHEIN to write.
So it all boils down to ancient trade…….

To Alexandra and Maggie:
I am born and raised German, live and work in the USA. You are right, both (kinda). If you compare statistics, Americans work longer?harder. If you compare efforts, germans do. The other day I pushed a wheelchair about 300 yards (without using a golf-cart). Arrived at my destination everybody offered me a seat as they assumed I would be exhausted !?!?!? What happened to all those hard-workim\ng pioneers and their wives??????

You are the number 1 again!

German´s do work faster and more efficient, that´s why we don´t need more than 35 Hour´s a Week for it.
But the American Worker´s can´t do it better, because the American Industrial is so slow in getting new Machines to let the Worker be more efficient.
In Germany an typical Machine for Production will may cost 2.000.000$.
10 Years later the Machine will be sell to get a newer one, witch do the same Production in half the Time.
Often it will be only 5 years.
American Industries will Build a Factory, and Produce so long as the Product will find someone who buy it.
Than, after 20 Jears, they will build a new Factory at a Place Hundreds of Miles far away from the Old Factory.
So the Efficient is not a thing about the American Workers, but the American Industries, who put more Time in Buying other Trusts, than making Work Efficient.
(by The Way, the German GEN is found as Efficient-GEN we hate nothing more, than to be ineffifient)

Ähhhh Prinz, was meinst Du denn da? Das ist alles kompliziert was Du da schreibst!!!??? Meinst Du bei GEN, das engl. Wort Gene? Das ist aber nicht nett von Dir! Das alles hatten wir doch schon einmal als Thema im Tausendjährigen Reich (12 Jahre, Gott sei Dank!). Und bezüglich Genen gibt es unweigerlich die Übereinstimmung, das prinzipiell unser “Gen” und das der Inder (ja aus Indien) gleich ist (Indo-Germanische Rasse). Aber warum relaxen die denn lieber als sich kaputt zu schuften oder manchmal (1 Mal alle tausend Jahre) die ganze Welt anzugreifen? Bestimmt nicht wegen den Genen!
Erklärungen gibt es sicherlich aus den sog. “Preussischen Tugenden”. Also aus der Erziehung heraus.
Aber das hast Du sicherlich gemeint, wenn Du erziehungstechnisch eine gute Stube hattest.
Ansonsten: “Man kann sich auch kompliziert drücken aus!”.

Worum es geht ist auf Deutsch folgendes:
In der deutschen Industrie ist es üblich, Produktionsmaschinen regelmässig alle 5-10 Jahre auszutauschen, um mit der entwicklung der Technik schritt zu halten, und um efficienter zu produzieren. (wenn eine Maschine sich nicht innerhalb von 1-3 Jahren amortisiert, wird sie nicht gekauft)
In der Amerikanischen Industrie ist es eher üblich eine Fabrik in irgendein Kaff hinzustellen, und solange laufen zu lassen, bis die Produkte keine Abnehmer mehr finden (Commodore hat bis anfang der 90er noch C64 produziert…) Die Amerikanischen Trust´s gegen Ihr Geld eher dafür aus, rentable Firmen zu kaufen, als Ihre eigenen rentabel zu machen.
Mit kaputt schuften hat die Arbeit in Deutschland ja wohl schon lange nichts mer zu tun.
