I love Merkel now that I know she has a science background! We NEED INTELLIGENT LEADERS!!!!!!!!! She's brilliant and I think it's terribly sad everyone focuses on her looks! Women have a terrible time! Shame on the world!

The fact that someone does or did (good) science, doesn't mean he or she is able to be a good politician too. Intelligence is a fuzzy concept; with science studies and a degree and published articles you only prove you can do that specific science (necessarily not all science), with a certain skill which, in order to be evaluated correctly, needs people competent in your research area.

I remember when I was young I laughed about all the jokes... but after months of mocking her I felt bad. A politician does not need to be pretty, they need to be honest, smart and calm, sadly most of the other German politicians are not like Merkel...

Thank you for the Resteem!

I am a friend of all countries and I see no point in starting wars with others. Steemit and the way we transact with each other should be without borders, and without friction, just like energy itself. Steemit is a good start for world peace.

That's exactly how I feel towards Steemit. It might be a little naive, but if we can keep the positivity up, we might actually change the world.

I also love to get to know people from other cultures, you can learn so much, I never knew you could use oatmeal as pancake batter and we Germans love our pancakes :3. Thanks to @kawthar I can make super fast, yummy and healthy pancakes.
