I feel somewhat offended

goog grief... whats going on here?
May I offer my point of view as well, it might not settle this angry conversation, but might add a moderate inside view on german social behavior.
We ain´t rude, we are insecure. Watch a german on vacation, or ask a dutch or british person, if we arrive anywhere, first thing we tend to do is to secure a private space. Securing a sunlounger at the pool or even digging a foxholes on dutch beaches (i am not making this up, ask a dutch person about the first thing germans do when they arrieve on dutch shores, even I did it when I was a kid, it seemed just natural to me...) we even do it at home, germans really like... LOVE their fences and hedges. Neighbours passionatly hate each other for generations when a tree grows from one neighbours property over the border, to their neighbours property (I thank god there are so strict gunlaws in germany, and I am not making this up again German courtrooms are crowded with neighbours sueing each other)
It is a german state of mind, "this is my space, and anybody who wants to get into it has to be approved".So why do we smile so rarely and don´t think please and thank you ain´t necessary in most situations? When sombody smiles always, how do I know he´s honest right now or if somebody is overwhelmingly kind and friendly on our first meeting how does he know I´m a friend? But if somebody, who never smiles or thanks anybody but thanks and smiles at me, for something, he probably means it in all honesty.
(I just try to explain to you, the way I think, most germans are thinking. I´m not like that. I smile, be kind, friendly and polite as much as possible, promise that we will do something together when we meet again and all, it´s a good way to stay out of trouble. Of course I have to adopt diffrent, new kinds of view everytime I meet somebody, even those I don´t like, but as soon as that person is out of my sight I forget all about him and proceed with my life caring abou me, but I might be a bad person anyway.)Granted some german employer are plain racists when they don´t hire friendly open-minded foreigners who passionatly love their german coworkers with all their big and small personal and coultural based shortcomings.
By the way, I often run into problems with other germans, particularly with those who feel lonely, they misinterpret my always friendly behavior as real interrest in them and start bugging me (when they are female it might even somtimes be mutual, but not lasting)
So if you have it over with those rude germans, meet me, we could get to a bar or what not would be awsome.
