What makes you an american?

explain

and if you are not, would you want to be.
 
born here, father coal miner, mother teacher, 10 years military service, celebrate on opening day, own land, visited all 50 states, lived in 6 other nations so I understand what it means to be one.
 
I have citizenship but I don't consider myself American, I'm a Canadian and would never want to be anything else.
 
I'm in the process of becoming German, not because I want to be, but for the doors it opens, specially for my son. I will be Venezuelan till I die.
 
Being Born here, Having Immigrant family roots, A higher quality of life(stuff) expectation from an early age, Feeling that our way is better than your way,

above are generalizations

are u rooting for venezuela in the WBC
 
Coming from a long line of American's who live as I live today and die young trying to give back double for everything I take.
 
im not and proud of it
 
I took the US citizenship so it makes my travels easier and because my kids are citizens by birth. But I will never ever feel like american, I am always macedonian. I dont really like the way life is in this country, but still respect it for other things it offers. Macedonian even when I'm dead.

Its sad really. I mean my dad and mom came here to the states 30 years ago and made their own way. had 500 dollars in their savings. Dad took shitty jobs and saved enough money to open up an Upholstery Shop (cars, boats, furniture re-upholstery)

Taught themselves english, never went on welfare, got their naturalized citizenship, never once been arrested, or even gotten a speeding ticket.

They never asked for a handout, and always assimilated as best as possible into the community.

They are what American really is.

Oh no no not anymore. I was referring to the olden times---Hitler---and I am glad that American foreign policy finally changed during this time to fight against dictators.

What I really meant was like, I have such compassion towards people who were killed because they lived in a bad part of the world.

and people wonder why so many of these immigrants who became legal citizens, and pay taxes, hate black people so much.

they hate anyone that is too lazy to work and takes advantage of the system. Cause they know the best that if you work and know how to save and not spend it all on booze, drugs and expensive stuff, you can have a very nice life.

My best friend is black and she works 3 jobs. So, dont generalize plz :(

WERD

If a cat crawls into an oven and has kittens, would that then make her offspring "muffins"?

I am American only because I was born here.

My father came to this country as a refugee from a country that the US promised to support if they rose up against communism. Yea, they are STILL WAITING. He had nothing but the clothing on his back. My mother came about 10 years later with the clothing she had on and one change in her bag. Neither had a formal education or knew a word of English. And busted their asses to make it...

But things have changed since their generation. My sister and I BOTH would leave this country in a heartbeat if we could.

I consider myself Hungarian first, always have and always will.

(And for those of you who say - then leave. Believe me mothafuggas... I TRIED.)

I understand your post. I hate anyone that's lazy (I'm also a Republican); I don't associate laziness with color.

I love to hear ignorant Americans bitch about how "those foreigners" are taking away their jobs. These people perform back-breaking work that most Americans "are too good for" - FOR MINIMUM WAGE. :rolleyes:
