but, you haven't seen German television and billboards.

I lived in Germany for 8 years. I am fully aware of how German society is.

I really liked it there. I speak German. Had a German wife. Went native, you might say.

I've lived half my life in Europe, in different countries. I have a pretty good grasp of the situation here.

You were saying?

I also lived in Germany for eight years. I lived in the Mannheim area; but I traveled extensively throughout the country and throughout Europe. I have a German wife. I've decided to keep her. ;-)

We've been married ten years; although we are forced to spend this year's anniversary apart due to a deployment.

I was saying that I disagree with certain aspects of their culture; therefore, I wouldn't expect most members of their society to be bothered by this issue.

This isn't true for all; there are some within their society, like my wife, who feel very uncomfortable waiting at bus stops that sported posters containing full frontal nudity.

My point is, at most German swim locations (pools/lakes/etc) you are more likely to ladies in birthday suits than swim suits.

und Ich auch kann ein bisien deusch spreche, aber meine deusch is ganz schlect.
