(*laughs*) That's about the same thing I dislike about them... They can build houses by themselves, do all other different kind of activities that actually require cognitive intelligence, but then, as humans, they're a perfect Biedermeier image (family, babies, big cars, well-cared-for houses and gardens - and money, money, money...) and they get on everyone's nerves which doesn't do things the same way like them... A Goth already is like an alien to them or some kind of enemy to watch out for every time they meet him. I don't know, in this point I dislike former GDR's rural structures that it tried to maintain... Rural structures in practice of production also keep people in a pretty rural world, and by that, they remain in a pretty "nothing foreign enters our daily landscape"-type of thinking... And I don't even mean things like if someone's got a darker skin color than a Central European usually has - it already starts if you're a kid from their own circles, but if you show different interests than the usual rural ones. If you don't put interest into nature or animals (because you got so much of that around you), if you keep dressing differently and noticeable beyond your teen years, if you know a lot about things past your rural countryside that you live in - if you don't seek to have your 2 weeks of vacation every summer at the beach on the Baltic Sea or in the same foreign countries that every 3rd person flies to (Turkey, Spain, Egypt and so on), if you're not all about family, your kids and your job all day long... Well, maybe you get the scheme that I mean. Doing things in a non-petit-bourgeois way.
