excellent point!

why do people like to generalize so much - including you ?!

that West Germans are still far better off money-wise than people who grew up in East Germany ( so they - the old West Germans care less about the little extra money) and / or that East Germans are always up for a good game and gain and are actually the better players because they actually win the prize. lol However I do dislike the article and the possible hidden intent behind the study or at least it's interpretation - to proof that East Germans are cheaters - Really ?! wow, I am wondering who is actually behind that study. and - who was financing it? I would also encourage that very same team to study why so many West Germans who make/ made it big in Politics were cheating to get their academic titles and show strong signs of corruption with an unbelievable self-esteem...
