You have to be careful using the definitive article to describe any nation or culture or group of people. If you try to define them by their best, then you also run the risk of having them defined by their worst. In fact, since the worst generally get more press than the best, I'll guarantee you that a nation will be defined by its worst long after its best have become a dusty memory.

Ok, you started with the prejustice that we germans aren't keen enough to let our women learn to read, then you told me that Germany is the nation of "beer and sausage" and now this. Sorry but this conversation is becoming too serious for me.
