Sorry, it just gets on my nerves when a 4th-generation American loses his temper and blames it on "being a hotheaded Italian," or drinks too much and attributes it to "being Irish" or some such. There is ethnicity and there is citizenship of birth.

Oh totally.I hate white people who weren't born in a palace.You are from the place you were born in so stop blaming this or that on what cage your parents come from.Mine come from a parakeet cage.It's why I shit on my feet.

Whether Australia sucks, America sucks, or England sucks, one thing for certain is that Porkmarras most definitely sucks.

I just got a little misty there.

In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American
sentiment and negativity, we should remember England's Prime Minister
Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his
Parliament members why he believes so much in America, he said:

"A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many
want in... And how many want out."


....and yes, we are assholes but so are you.

I will go ahead and identify as an American despite my Northern European heritage, since my fucking great-grandparents were even born here.


I am the first generation to be from the United States. Even my mother was born in Germany. Piss off, fat queen.

I'm just saying I'm no less American than Porky is English.

Yes, but you were indeed born here, which makes you American and not German, no matter how close you are to the Vaterland.

Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt,
Wenn es stets zu Schutz und Trutze
Brüderlich zusammenhält,
Von der Maas bis an die Memel,
Von der Etsch bis an den Belt -
|: Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt. :|

You still do not seem to understand, old man. I'm saying that Porky is English by living there. I'm American, yes. I was being sarcastic and saying my heritage makes me German and not American.

Understand now, ya?

Savage Clone 11.13.2006 11:25 AM

I get it, but the analogy is not really apt.
Porky is an expatriate Italian who is native to Italy and living in England, while you are the American-born son of a German-born mother, living in the country of your birth.
Ja.

!@#$%! 11.13.2006 11:26 AM

you meant "ja", kurt?
