230 years, actually. Before that it was nothing but various colonial extensions of Europe, and prior to that an ancient wilderness where many people lived and thrived until the white man came and said, "Gee, what a great place God has given us, now we just have to drive off all these heathens..."
--- Quote ---you all came from Europe and other old parts of world, and you took the customs and old believes with you to the new world. I know that this maybe uppseting you, but it is the truth, you already had all that when you left the old continent.

I don't recall anything in the original post contesting this point, Nina.
--- Quote ---I dont know why its so hard for some of you guys to admit the importance of the old world. Its not that you met all teh fairytale creatures when you got to teh promised land, you already had all that from your old home.

Uh huh...preaching to the choir...
--- Quote ---And Im sure that many of you dont really know the full lineage of ancestors. I know that I dont. Or am I wrong?

Don't really know, and don't really care. I am not defined by my ancestry, but rather by my own merits.

I heard a great quote on TV the other day (concerning the Chicago River, which is rather disgusting to look at):
"Every year they dye the river green for St. Patrick's Day. Why can't they dye it blue the other 364 days?" *<:)

sometimes I feel the urge to do so, if you have a problem with that, then you shouldnt post anything that could be missunderstood for political statment, and when you say that some country said something about the other, you coul expect that
