(March 29, 2013 at 5:48 pm)The Germans are coming Wrote: We have a saying here in Germany

"Du vermischst Kraut und Rüben!"

Which translates to: "You are mixing cabbage and turnips!"

It is used as a deprecative phrase to express discontent when debating a subject and the opposite simply brings forward an argument which has nothing to do with the subject.

A clear case here, didnt know how to express it in english.
Sounds kind of like "apples and oranges," what we say when two things are not comparable.
