The Dark One Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 You know Canada is in America too (as well as many other countries). I don't know why the United States decided that only them could be americans. It's because their name is really generic and it's too hard to say "Unitedstatesican". It's because the country is called "The United States of America." We just drop the first words for ease of use. Who would call me a "United States of American?" And what country do you come from Crab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonisanoob Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 personally i hate anyone that takes pride in anythign that they havnt done themselves overhere in scotland we have drunk football fans dubbed as "neds", when they talk about football and the idiotic team they support, they refer to the teams acomplishments as their accomplishments where they on the grass?, no where they f***. this kind of mentality pisses me off its 1 world that quite frankly is goign to hell does the words:"i acccidentally a whole economy" spring to mind anywhere im not proud of anything this world has done for me as its all been negative, the only htign improus of is not being proud of the world or america or my country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davok Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 You know Canada is in America too (as well as many other countries). I don't know why the United States decided that only them could be americans. The question should be are you proud of the United States/your country.That may be due to the fact that the land that US sits on is the original 'America' that the early europeans had colonised. Actually, Christopher Columbus didn't really land in the United States. He landed more in the Carribbean, in Hispaniola and places like that. And also, the Vikings were the first Europeans to colonize North America left by good old Leif Ericcson(or whatever his name was) in Newfoundland. Then the Vikings left, the French went and colonized Quebec, then the British came and colonized also... Seven Years War, Revolution.... etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
