part of the error in the quotation is the implication that Germans are
curt because they need fewer words to say things.
first, "take me to the train-station (please)." has pretty much the
same number of words.
I don't know about this, but presuming imperative as a command and not as a
request is too much for me and on top of this saying "You know what
happens ..." . This is also the 3rd German with repetitive behavior
pattern.
every sane person I know has repetitive behavior patterns.
I suspect the food and/or water and/or education quality in Germany,
but do not have scientific facts :). The fact is they voted 4 times
for crook Merkel, which speaks for it self but I do not know of
course who Thomas Schmitt voted for :) (or the other two
individuals)
Anyway it was not meant to be a command but a request to stop this CO2 BS.
I think it may be possible you don't know how *you* sound to some.
this sort of thing happens a lot.
ok, danke for listening!
