I tend to avoid places where potential countrymen would embarass me. So no, I am not offended by my fellow Germans. As others have pointed out, every country seems to have it´s share of abnoxiuos people and hey, someplace they have to play. This summer DW and I went camping in Austria, all the people of several nations on the campground were good.
What drives me howling mad are the wealthy holier-than-thou types regardless of their nationality.
Like markharf, it embarasses me to belong to a nation which has brought death and destruction over such a large area of the world, in this case in WWII. I look at the map and ask myself where would these countries be - and where would my own country be - if the atrocities of the Nazi-era would not have happened. But then history cannot be reversed, it just can be learned from.
