Some woman at Penn State University (undergrad) tried to tell me she knows exactly where Jimmy Hoffa is buried (Altoona, PA) cemetary and could take me "right to his grave." Does anyone buy this? I don't and I live in Blair County, PA.

I know that alot of Irish people are of Scotish decent because of what Cromwell did and so their languages are similar and they can understand each other. But my father, a Welsh speaker told me that he can only understand very few words of spoken Irish. Those words being simmilar to Welsh but most of the language is completely different from the Irish and the Scottish. My father and brother say we are not Celts but Ancient Britains and that the Cornish spoke the same language as us. We lived in Britain before the Celts arrived.

Spain was regarded as our mother country for having "discovered" the Phillipines. And for almost 400 years, religion, Western cultures, values, arts and music, traditions, new concepts and language were introduced to us and became part of our lives.

Then USA came in 1898 after the defeat of Spain. USA also introduced freedom, equal rights, a republican government, language, cultures, music, ideas, etc.

Years ago, I run into few people who told me that America was our mother country.

To answer this question, you need to define "mother" in this context of history. What makes one country a "mother country" to another? Discuss the qualities, impressions, changes or contributions do each of them made to greatly impact our country and what we are today. Who then decides who should become our mother country and under what prevailing condition, criteria, tests or consensus are they based upon?

Lastly, can one country, such as ours, have more than one mother country? Why?
