Expatica Germany's readers sound off about sue-happy Germans, spirituality and naked blonds in Ferraris.Re: Fears of German power fuel Polish opposition to EU treaty
Dear Editor,
Poland no doubt remembers another Eastern European country pressured
by Germany to surrender "just a little" for the good of the rest of Europe.
Polish people do not want to play the role the Czechs played at Munich in 1938.

Re: Editor's Diary: So sue me…
Dear Editor,
I agree with your article about sue-happy wackos - and know first hand how bad it is.
My wife and I moved to Frankfurt with our two dogs into a ground floor apartment in the city.
Under the "Hausordnung" we were within our rights to freely use the garden area and allow our dogs to play, as long as they did not make a "mess."
Well, they did not, but our neighbours were so disgusted that their kids had to play in the same area as the dogs, they sued us to stop our use of the garden, and we lost!
We had to pay all of the legal fees and lost our rights to the garden.
Needless to say, after a lot of wasted time and money, we have since moved to a new flat with our own private garden. We, and our dogs, are much happier now!
It's amazing what a waste of government resources this was - numerous legal documents as well as three court hearings.

Re: German spirituality, or lack thereof
Dear Editor,
It seems there should be some news about the Evangelist or Lutheran church in Germany.
How has it come about that so few attend worship services? Where is the church getting stronger? What are the main complaints against the state tax system? What are the main complaints against the parish priests?
Nearly everyone in the USA affirms a belief in God. How has it come to be that so few in Germany believe in anything?
