What's wrong. Afraid to be truthful? Thought American was the land of the free and all that.......

After all, isn't that what the Constitution was all about: round about Article 4, Section 1, Amendment 13......

I can't speak of 'yu brits' but I'm quite happy to confirm that I'm neither a racist or a bigot - no need for subltely on that subject.

Subtley is one thing. Hypocrisy is another thing altogether.

I find it incredibly amusing that you state often on here how great Amercia is: so great that you know so little about it...... even to the down to flora that this thread was discussing, never mind your disregards for the very thing that most Americans are so proud of: The Constitution and the very fundamentals that it stands for.

Based on that: I'm far prefer to fall into a patch of stinging nettles, least I know what to expect.

Anyone remember itchykoos........ I've got them growing in my garden and I'm always tempted when my friends are around, to slip one down the back of their shirts/top ... (we never grow up really!!)

wow dude, yu have me pegged all wrong if that's what you think. I don't post about how great America is, i just defend America when i notice someone attacking her around here. I've never gone out of my way to glorify America. I just give my experience as an actual American when it's relevant.
