My point in mentioning Germany is that I think Germans as a clulture are generally stiff, conventional and conformist.
And for them to be more tolerant than us indicates a change for the worse in our society.

If the romans managed to completely conquer the german territories we would probably travel by spaceships by now, cancer and other major disease would be cured, Italy would not be under the current corruption and most of the world would live in peace and harmony.
I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.
Who was it who noted that the state of a country's civilisation could be gauged by the number of eccentrics it tolerated?
Judging by that criterion, Germany's is a far superior culture to ours.
