The heck on the poll??? If there is a joke there, I don't get it.
German humour can be hard to understand, yes.
Sergarr, I told you - that territorial rearrangement must wait until after Mecha-Merkel has been crowned God-Empress of Europe! Jesus, couldn't you just have waited two more months instead of blabbing now?

Also, since when were Darwin and Che Germans?

chopin was german

also is merkel really going to rule until death, i heard she's going for a fourth term recently and i don't really see signs of people going against her

is this the rebirth of the fucking empire or something, because i want actual hohenzollerns back in that case

Chopin was Polish, and is not on any avatar around here...

Not sure if there were any in the US.
Oh, there's still living ones for the US, to say nothing of dead ones. We've got a fair number of folks that were/are involved in incredibly skeevy shit that still get pretty good reception in the homeland, and that's a pattern that hasn't changed for the last long while. Difference in scale, maybe, but what we lack in metaphorical quality we do a pretty good job on in quantity.

fourth term
Isn't, that, like, undemocratic? At least, I'm sure, it would be called, like, that, if, say, Putin did it.

Are you referring to Vietnam and Iraq?

She is a Prime Minister, not President, not sure if Prime Ministers have term limits in Germany.

chancellors can basically keep going forever

Saying that Merkel is not president doesn't really mean anything, as the president of Germany is largely cosmetic by design.

Germany is a parliamentary republic - the post of President is less important there than in Russia or the US.

He has a whole lot less power than what Putin and Obama have. Looks mostly ceremonial to me.

So President of Germany is like Queen of Britain, except even less relevant?

Mecha-Merkel
I thought we agreed Merkel is in fact an eldritch abomination.

I was wrong. And I hope that there are few Poles like him, else we need to dig another line of trenches on the Western border, just in case.
Hey, weren't you supposed to not discuss this?
Also, funny you mention that, there was quite a lot of voices after the Russians "freed" the Crimea and such that Poland should go and "liberate" (since before the whole Ukrainian nationalism thing happened it was almost 100% Polish, and we consider losing it one of worst loss of Poland during creation of new borders) Lwów, but it was kinda stopped because west wouldn't be exactly happy (we did something like that at least once and we were said to be helping Nazis) and if there is someone we hold a bigger grudge against, it is Russia (not Germany though, all in all, they don't usually try to bullshit us that Holocaust never happened EDIT: USUALLY IS THE KEY WORD).
Not sure if there were any in the US. Unless you count the time (19th century mostly) where we often slaughtered Native Americans and treated them like third class citizens, or sometimes didn't even consider them citizens.
Yeah, you guys are pretty clean (or clear up the mistakes well, but that would be conspiracy theories), though I can think of few that weren't exactly glorious.
Like Executive Order 9066 and stuff.
ITT: We show off the shit other countries did.
chancellors can basically keep going forever
There was this one chancellor who also kept going forever, though in the end it was too much for him and he commited suicide.
french people like to say that chopin was french
Eh, and people wonder why Polish dislike pretty much every country that exist or existed (though really, stealing Chopin is a minor thing when it comes to French).
