It could be argued that they are not.

It could be argued that goats fly whenever people look in the other direction, doesn't make it more true.

That would violate causality.

I wont post my opinion regarding this matter, because cmp is lurking at the forum, and I don`t want to end up banned 


But before I go I want to say this.


Molly, drop your higher than thou attitude, you aren`t cool, you are just one obnoxious little cunt, ok, we got it by now, you hate that you are a German, you hate those who fight for their countries and their country men, you hate your culture, your history, everything.

Just shut up.

Causality is a whore, she's used to it.

They don't teach that in Germany. Probably depends on the teacher and school level but usually it is broken down as a result of the late imperialism with almost everyone involved being responsible.

got to comment on that again, just watched the discussion on phoenix where Guido Knopp is stating its still beeing teached in school and he asks if school-books has to be rewritten. Its at 55:15 in case you dont want to watch the whole thing..

paa, everyone knows that only austria bears the blame for both wars and germanyland was the first victim.

speaking of the first world war, in my history class i have learned that everyone have wanted the war and austria was the first one who have found a reason to start it.

It's been almost 12 years now since I've left school so I do not remember everything by heart, but IIRC they taught us something like "everyone was prepared for war, everyone kinda wanted it (France seeking revenge for 1870, UK desiring to extinguish German naval threat, Austria hoping to settle issues on Balkans and Germany trying to finish-off France/crushing Franco-Russian encirclement), no one really tried to avoid it".

The main blame on Germany is, apart from Wilhelm's jingoistic attitude, the diplomatic support to Austria which caused them to escalate the crisis (I think the term usually used is that of a "diplomatic Card Blanche" for the Austrians).
