We own the right to be fed up with anything we damn please and say so out loud when we feel like it.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Our Germany's dead. However hard this may be for some of us older people, it's a blessing for our children. Our children grew up a...gainst new backgrounds, new horizons. And they are free. Free to grow up as children. Free to run and to laugh without being forced into uniforms. Without being forced to march up and down streets, singing battle songs.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
