do YOU, Yes YOU lie about your nationality?

[prdigy666]

German, Italian, and British... No reason to lie... We all about come from the same place if you trace back far enough

As ever, I am the voice of the silent majority. You are welcome.

My wife and I are shy and quiet so we need the silent majority to speak for us!


Our 1 1/2 year old grand daughter just got her passport and she's vacationing on some godforsaken island in the ocean. I think our kids went with her.

Millions of americans pretend to be Canadian when travelling abroad...as everyone knows.

Please fuck off doing that, eh?

If you're so fucking proud of your breed, wear it.

With that facility in apologies, you could be an honorary subject. How good are you at queuing?

No one ques like que.

They ask if I'm American and I see Hillary and Trump running and I say...uh no I'm Canadian!

I'm UK British born in Wales to English parents.

If it wasn't for the Kaiser's bombs I would have been born in the City of London; if it wasn't for Hitler I would have been born in England.

My first passport was issued by the Governor of Gibraltar and was later endorsed for me to be resident in Australia, but I returned to the UK.

I have traced my paternal ancestry back 650 years in the City of London. My maternal ancestry moved to the City of London from Suffolk in the early 1800s but if I believe other people's research that line goes back to King Henry II, and his ancestors from Provence (and then it gets ridiculous because he was supposed to be descended from Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, Venus, Isis, and Odin).

To Kew, or not to cue? That is the question.

I used to have a flat overlooking Kew Green. Probably the nicest place I've ever lived. By far the most expensive, too.

 

[VaticanAssassin]

Nationality no. Heritage yes.

Did the ancestors thing. When it was discovered Lord James and Mary of Essex settled in Virgina in 1668, straight from England I went no further.

I grieved for days at the thought of being English...

 

[pink]

My passport says American but I am an adopted UKer and don't you fight me on that.

They laugh at Canucks, find them cute and funny~like penguins.
It's a defense mechanism.
Plus, we can act like total asshats, and you get blamed.
Deal with it parka boy.

Everything is about sex, except sex. Sex is about anxiety.

The graphical representation of my anxiety is the only woman made object visible from the moon.

Nationality is not a game, it is a birthright, we English are Gods master race of choice.

So far as I can make out there is no record in history of any Anglo-Saxon nation entering upon any great war without allies. The French have done it, the Dutch have done it, the Germans have done it, the Japs have done it, and even such inferior nations as the Danes, the Spaniards, the Boers and the Greeks have done it, but never the English... The Anglo-Saxon always tries to take a gang with him when he goes into battle, and even when he has it behind him he is very uneasy, and prone to fall into panic at the first threat of genuine danger.

...This reluctance for desperate chances and hard odds, so obvious in the military record of the English-speaking nations, is also conspicuous in times of peace. What a man of another and superior stock almost always notices, living among so-called Anglo-Saxons, is (a) their incapacity for prevailing in fair rivalry, either in trade, in the fine arts or in what is called learning--in brief, their general incompetence, and (b) their invariable effort to make up for this incapacity by putting some inequitable burden upon their rivals, usually by force. The Frenchman, I believe, is the worst of chauvinists, but once he admits a foreigner to his country he at least treats that foreigner fairly, and does not try to penalize him absurdly for his mere foreignness. The Anglo-Saxon... is always trying to do it; his history is a history of recurrent outbreaks of blind rage against people who have begun to worst him. Such movements would be inconceivable in an efficient and genuinely self-confident people, wholly assured of their superiority, and they would be equally inconceivable in a truly gallant and courageous people, disdaining unfair advantages and overwhelming odds. Theoretically launched against some imaginary inferiority in the non-Anglo-Saxon man, either as patriot, as democrat or as Christian, they are actually launched at his general superiority, his greater fitness to survive in the national environment. The effort is always to penalize him for winning in fair fight, to handicap him in such a manner that he will sink to the general level of the Anglo-Saxon population, and, if possible, even below it. Such devices, of course, never have the countenance of the Anglo-Saxon minority that is authentically superior, and hence self-confident and tolerant. But that minority is pathetically small, and it tends steadily to grow smaller and feebler. The communal laws and the communal mores are made by the folk, and they offer all the proof that is necessary, not only of its general inferiority, but also of its alarmed awareness of that inferiority. The normal American of the "pure-blooded" majority goes to rest every night with an uneasy feeling that there is a burglar under the bed, and he gets up every morning with a sickening fear that his underwear has been stolen. ​

I am US native born. Some people think we are crazy but that's OK. I don't get what some of you folks are up to either. When ever I sit down with people from other countries I find out out needs and wants are pretty much the same.

Denny------------ Do you realize we are only 140 miles apart and there are a lot of Conadians between us?

Most we've met are very friendly and make some great BBQ.

I was born in England but perilously close to Wales. My mother obviously liked sex, but she disliked small children so she employed a Welsh speaking Nanny so that we could be ignored as much as possible. The result was that I couldn't speak a word of English until I went to school but was fluent in Kindergarten Welsh.

It's taken me almost 50 years to get over this Celtic atrocity, during which time I grew up and was educated in England - apart from 1 year in Germany, then lived 8 years in the USA with the remainder in Oz except for a 2 year sojourn back in London.

I'm essentially English - still check Bristol City's result every Sunday morning. But I support Australia in Rugby and Cricket. Got two Passports UK and Oz.
