I am here for Friends

About Me

I study German, English language and linguistics (in this order). I'm told that I am a nice guy with strange interests (history of languages for example). I know of some people who think I'm a real weirdo, maybe that's right, I don't know. I peel asparagus (with a peeling machine, of course) and sell it afterwards in May and June of every single year.
I am not here to collect friends, and I won't add people I've never yet talked with. So if you want to add me, send me a message first, so we can get into contact. Mabe I'll be the one who asks you in the end...
You Are 72% Open Minded
You are a very open minded person, but you're also well grounded.
Tolerant and flexible, you appreciate most lifestyles and viewpoints.
But you also know where you stand firm, and you can draw that line.
You're open to considering every possibility - but in the end, you stand true to yourself. How Open Minded Are You?

Ich zitiere

This German expression means "quote" and explicitly says that the following is just a quote (I'm just quoting). So where's the problem?

Heute wurden in Berlin drei Rabbiner in ihr Amt eingeführt.
