It is germane to the topic of Germans, since that's about all you know about Germans.
You are a jewish idiot. lol
You are so silly. The word derives from the Latin to which the word was applied to the Vandals, Visigoths, and Goths of the north, but you didn't really know this. In fact, the Roman historian, Tacitus wrote:
>"For myself, I concur in opinion with such as suppose the people of Germany never to have mingled by inter-marriages with other nations, but to have remained a people pure, and independent, and resembling none but themselves."
Part of the reason for Tacitus stating this was he was lamenting on the already widespread intermarriage problem occurring in Rome. The word germane does imply 'closely related'; 'kindred'. 'German', as in 'Germania', derives from this. The dictionary provides the following:
- adjective 1) closely or significantly related; relevant; pertinent:
Example: "Please keep your statements germane to the issue."
2) Obsolete. closely related.
You are the king of pointless hogwash, I'll give you that much.
But you did learn something. That's the point of Life's entire journey --- to always learn more.
"This worship, however introduced, is upheld by its antiquity; all their other customs, which are at once perverse and disgusting, owe their strength to their very badness. The most degraded out of other races, scorning their national beliefs, brought to them their contributions and presents. This augmented the wealth of the Jews, as also did the fact, that among themselves they are inflexibly honest and ever ready to shew compassion, though they regard the rest of mankind with all the hatred of enemies."
