Thanks, people, for trying to argue with Spectre, but as you can see, it's useless. He only picks the snippets of history, that fit into is existing wold view, and disregards the rest. And doesn't even realize that with this "gene theory" he follows the same racial delusions the Nazis were so famous for.
It's not only history, though, but can be found in all his postings.
@spectre: You wanna know the real reason, why I rarely let myself being provoked into a discussion with you and rather try to "laugh it off", like you say?
It's because you are too unimportant to me for wasting my time. You are a discussion partner I am not the slightest interested in sharing views with, mainly because I know that your views are set in concrete and all you seek here, is attention and confirmation for your existing opinions. You are not interested in discussions, sharing views, learning from each other. You are only interested in putting yourself in the limelight.
You do that quite well most of the time, I must admit, but the moment someone contradicts you or scratches at the surface or simply doesn't care or buy what you write, you tend to lose your temper and get personally insulting. Gone is the spectre we know, or rather the one you want us to be known.
It's in threads like these I believe people can see the true you. And it's not a pleasant view. With your replies you confirmed all I suspected and assumed.
I tried to tell it to you earlier with flowers in another topic, so here is the version without the sugar icing: I'm very much interested in serious discussions in this forum, I'm very much interested in gaining new knowledge, sharing points of view and maybe also can learn from others.
Just not with or from you.
The internet is a funny place, you know... With the right sources, you can go into a medical discussion forum and pretend being a brain surgeon, while in reality you are an unemployed plumber and spend most of the time before the PC. This is just a general remark, I'm not suggesting anything now.
And just for the record: There is no German race. There has never been. The population of Germany has always been a mixture of countless crossbreedings with people all over Europe. Our country is in the middle of Europe, it's a transit country, both for goods and genes. Has been that way since the fall of the Roman Empire. Probably even before that. The Nazis failed to see that there is no "pure German". Why do you, too?
