Title: Question for the Europeans
Post by: Palumboism on February 21, 2016, 06:10:25 AM
There's an old joke that goes:

Heaven is where the police are British, the cooks are French, the mechanics German, the lovers Italian and it's all organized by the Swiss. Hell is where the chefs are British, the mechanics French, the lovers Swiss, the police German and it's all organized by the Italians.

Are these stereotypes accurate?

Somewhat yes.

You don't want Italians organizing shit.. :D

They have too much of a temperament and can't think straight / keep a cool head / think logically at times.

It is generally accurate up to a point.
Of course there are exceptions.
But basically I would have to agree.

Why are the Swiss so good at organizing things?

Pretty accurate. Some additional points:

- Dutch police are in general also very friendly,
- Italian cuisine is better than French,
- Italian lovers? The women are hot but crazy (so good to go), the men are shitty lovers with no skills (or so I have been told ;)).

Besides some of their food and Ferrari Italians are the most overrated people on earth, they get so much hype cause of American media, modern Italians are shit, nothing compared to the Romans  ;D :D

Any country within a 500km radius of the Meditereanian is forgettable.
0 contribution to the economy, but they make up for it with 'culture'. Which is also shit.

Actually, everywhere the Romans have been is absolute shit these days.

You need to draw a line across the middle.

Northern Italians are ok. They're have a work ethic and just get on with things (but still have good food).

Southern Italians are the ones giving Italy a bad rep.

Haha - doubtful. But every foreign looking person is evil incarnate to a German police officer. My former neighbour (Costa Rican guy - adopted by Germans, lived here his whole life) was visiting Dresden and got bashed for looking different. Went to the cops. They told him to go back to Africa (!) if he didn't want to get bashed again.

East Germany always has been shit, even most Germans don't want it. Any police in NRW, Hesse and BW are always very nice. Last time they even blocked the off ramp to let me go against traffic, so that I could get back on the highway without delay. It helps when you can speak a bit of German and hand them your business card that shows you're working for a reputable company.

Also, I'm not a hebrew. ;D

The difference between Heaven and Hell:

In Heaven; The chefs are French.
                    The police are British.
                     The mechanics and technicians are German.
                       And the symphony orchestras are Austrian.



In Hell; The chefs are British.
               The police are German.
                 The mechanics and technicians are French
                   And the Rock and Roll bands are Austrian………

Hehe, actually the Italians are far more clever than we give them credit for and in the north of Italy, things are well organized. A more accurate assessment would be that the Greek should never be allowed to organize anything. Greece is in many ways like third a world country, with chaotic traffic, bad infrastructure, corruption and tax evasion.

To some degree, but in Greece it has become destructive.
