How Deutsch are you? Positive Germany thread | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 6798872  United States02/08/2013 08:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Danish-English American Mutt here, Quoting: anon 2199468 Regardless of whether in the right or wrong, I am astounded at the WWII German military forces, industry and capabilities. Even up to the bitter end of the war, when they had no way of winning, they still could put together a cohesive defense. With better less extreme leadership, they would have come out as ruler of Europe. Even though they lost the war, they rebuilt and are now the economic power house of Europe. I am amazed how Germans keep their cool when chaos happens in different circumstances and stay organized and determined to accomplish the task at hand. Vielen Dank Deutschland fuer die Technologie und Wissenschaft fuer alle Menschen. Perfect description of my dad who was of 100% German ancestry. He was like a bulldog...digs in and would not let go! |

Second, the Germans stole the name Deutsch from the Dutch(aka Diets which means volk). Thirdly, Dutch is the oldest West-Germanic language on which both German and English are based on. Point four, the name Germany is a joke since the majority of Germans are of Slavic and Roman descent. There's nothing Germanic about them. The Dutch however are 100% proper Saxons. Five, Hollands GDP per capita is higher as Germany's. Six the best part of Germany is the Northern-Western part. Seven, there's only one real Deutschland(Dietsland) and that's Holland. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6559517 Germany has many "Tribes" like Franken, Alemannen.. [link to en.wikipedia.org] [link to en.wikipedia.org] True, but the majority of the Dutch are Saxons. However Slavs, Romans and Gauls aren't Germanic, yet they are a huge part of Germany's demogaphics. So what's your point? Again, the name Germany doesn't make any sense. Central Europe was basically one big steaming meltingpot. That's why Holland counts its blessing that it was never part of the German empire. We don´t belong in an empire with Slavs. Too cool for that. We set sail and did our own thing. And that's why the Dutch are Europe's finest. The best and brightest of the goddamn continent by far. . As were the Dutch. I'll call BS on that one. You can BS these others, but I know different. After I got stopped laughing I told the wife about the Uber-Deutsch. She said she was proud of you (that you weren't German that is). BTW she is a born and bred Giessner. |

You know, those folks who are one step removed on the evolutionary ladder from becoming Hungarian gypsies. Holland was here long before Germany even existed. Fact. Historically, in a sense, Germany is Hollands retarded nephew. The more to the West, the better the Germans get. If the best is in the West, does that make German-Americans the top of the food chain then? Yank bastards are so far down, I can barely see them. Hey..... how you're doing down there? Hahahahaha!!!!Meltingpot from the get go. . LOL! I'm an American of half Irish/half German descent, and I don't think the folks in Ireland are any happier with me than the folks in Germany. I feel so disinherited when I'm traveling overseas doing the "getting back to my roots" thing. I do wear socks with sandals, though. That must score me some points with you, right? |

Lower German! These are used in Northern Germany and in the eastern parts of the Netherlands. The native name Neddersassisch (Low Saxon), in the Netherlands Nedersaksisch and Neersaksisch, has begun to be applicable to all Old-Saxon-derived varieties.

What's so funny about this is that many Americans identify very strongly with their European roots. The Irish-American side of my family clings fiercely to their Irish heritage, and the German-American side of my family is, likewise, very German. After three generations on US soil, we even still speak German. Then we travel to Ireland or Germany with stars in our eyes and get bitch-slapped into reality. They do not, and never will, claim us, apparently. |
