I have been looking at the posts here and seen that many Americans have German blood in them and I was wondering if you think then that the World Wars to Americans can be said to be a kind of a Civil War?
So when the soldiers called us "krauts" they where in fact calling them selfs "krauts", get it?
The English called us "Jerrys" and their Kings at that time and Elizabeth I have German blood in them, so where they calling their royalty "Jerrys" too?

What do you think?

I think you're high.

I think you're high.

I think I'd like to be.

HeHeHe ye this is just for the people that want something to think about that really doesn't matter.

I don't really think it's true, in the technical sense.

HOWEVER

You probably all know where I stand on war, because I used to yell about it all the time on the forums. I think that (this'll sound rediculous) all men are brothers and sisters, in a sense. Any fighting is a civil war in a way. Just like, in retarded little video games, the squirrels fight the chipmunks, not the squirrels, because if the squirrels fought the squirrels, it'd be civil war. How are we any different?

They certainly have the sibling rivalry and bickering down pat, then.

Around WW2 about a full quater of the American population was straight up German. Today German is the largest of the white groups. I go to a german club picnic once a year. That doesn't make me a German National.

The two World Wars were nothing like a civil war for America.

I get what you are saying.
We are different because we have borders of religion and national borders, language, culture, econamy, political views and many other things can, have and will cause dissputes.

You are German but not a German national, it's in your blood and that is stronger then a passport.

Well, to be fair, most Americans are of British descent. Care to guess what the major inhabitants of Britain were directly preceding the modern Britons? The Anglo-Saxons. Care to guess who the Saxons were?

They where not Germans but lived in what is now northern Germany.
Anglo-Saxon=English-England
Celts=Scots-Scotland, Irish-Ireland
Germanic=Germans-Germany

Celts and Germans settled mostly in the south and the anglo saxons in the north.

I think you are either thinking way, way to hard, or not enough.

Not according to the german guy who married my cousin ;) And they live over there in Germany. Ich bin der Amerikaner, nicht deutsch.

The Saxons most certainly were considered Germanic. And you are not going back far enough. Britain used to be purely Celitc, until they were invaded by the Saxons and harassed by the Vikings. Then they were kind of pushed back a little. And I think the Welsh are going to get pissed off at you, since you forgot Wales. And what about Man? They have their own classification of Gaelic, Manx

It's a post that is just about the same of informational value as th rest of them.
Mostly to make people say something stupid like some are doing.

Yes but they are not GERMAN, get it, Indo- europeans have many.
I did not forgett Cymru and Manx for I was only posting the three major people that came first.
And the Celts are the first to build a city on what is now Paris, France- France was first Celtic.

Well, I've heard of the Wolrd Wars being referred to as the European Civil War, Acts 1 and 2, or as Big Mistake 1 and 2.

And it's not quite a civil war, as Americans are the world's mutts. Kinda hard to find anybody purebred that didn't didn't just step off the boat.

Hells yeah! The Gauls were second only to Celto-Britannica. Them and their boars... :rolleyes: In fact, many cities in former Gaul are where Gallic population centres were, Paris for one, and there is even some residual vocabulary, primarily in the form of measurments.

Yes, true.
