hmmm... im a mutt. scottish/german/jewish/native american... and there may be more in there but im not sure

If you've lost your faith in superfuture, Oh the end won't be long

Because if it's gone for you then I too may lose it, And that would be wrong

I've tried so hard to keep myself from falling

Back into my bad old ways

And it chars my heart to always hear you calling

Calling for the good old days

Because there were no good old days

These are the good old days

My great uncle, Ray SLOAN USMC retired, Iwo Jima veteran, never set foot in Ireland but his parents did, I don't believe anyone ever told him he was not Irish and I pity anyone who may have. Ethenicity may be very specific on a website or a textbook but it is far more passionate issue than that. I am not trying to start something with you because you are a formitable force when it comes to your beliefs and I do respect them and technically your are correct in your opinion. By the way, I am American.Edited by damnIam on May 24, 2006 at 06:29 AM

Heh heh, it is nothing serious. I only say that because my wife is a born-and-raised Dubliner and is used to hearing L.A. valley girls say "Oh my god, you are Irish! I am like Irish too!" and it gets effin' annoying. You wouldn't believe the scale of Americans that say that when introduced to her, I am talking at least 85%. It is just funny that most people are basically ashamed or don't understand that you can be American.......

According to Wikipedia, you can practically make one up.

reporter: "what do you think about western civilization?"

gandhi: "i think it would be a good idea."

Quote: Human. no need for racial labels

That is the fucking dumbest thing I have ever heard. You are saying that people aren't allowed to be proud of their heritage/culture/ethnicity? That makes you a bigot in-and-of-itself........

It is like someone calling you "the blonde girl" and you telling them "you don't like to be labeled." You oversensitive, liberal wanks are so unbelievably oblivious to the simple facts of life that it hurts......

^^ heh heh. I meant 'liberal' only in terms of encompassing unintelligent hippies.......no offense to you intelligent liberals; although if I may note, you are few and far between.

i agree with that too england. too many pussies that fold at the first sign of trouble for any real liberal leadership to take hold. its a shame too, it leaves the united states too unbalanced. too much power in the hands of one group is always a recipie for disaster.

shit...

^here, here.

The problem with the liberal establishment in the US is that it has the uncanny ability to alienate the maximum amount of people, even while trying to help them. Also, most of the so called "liberals" are sorry excuses for the real thing, and are cut from the exact same cloth as other bullshitting politicians.

I in no way meant that. I have no need for racial labels would have been a better statement. I apologize if I offended you in any way.

Edited to add:

I have no problem wit hpride in your heritage or people who identify themselves with a certian race. I am such a mutt, and have so many adoptions in my family, that I cannot actually pin down my heritage or race. For those of you who have a rich family history and identify with a single race, go you.

Masochism at it's finest.

In that case, I sincerely apologize for being a dick.....
