Cultures & Groups - 10 December 2007

Am I uncorrect in calling someone who lives in Canada an American, someone who lives in the United States of America and American, someone who lives in Mexico an American, someone who lives in Brazil and American, etc. etc. etc.

Just like we refer to people who live in France, the UK, Germany, Spain, etc. as European because all of those countries make up Europe, it is proper to refer to anyone that lives in North, Central, or South America as American...right?

So when people say that only Americans should work in the United States of America, and they mean it in the context that Mexicans should not work illegally in the U.S.A., they are completely ignorant to the fact that everyone on this contentent is considered an American.

And when you see a sign that says proud to be American, a Mexican or Canadian can still stand behind that phrase and be a citizen of either country.

And it would be correct to call a citizen of those countries an American


Or am I completely wrong here?

memories of going to Disneyland when you were a kid? I remember going there when it first opened. I loved Tom Sawyer's Island, the rocket ship, the miniature cars and the submarine ride as I grew older (but still a kid)..

Are you expecting company for Christmas? My friend is arriving tomorrow - and I am nervous and finding it hard to sit still.

There have been some pretty miraculous things happening, first was the price of the ticket - first time he checked it was $1565.00 - then his travel agent phoned and said they had just announced a seat sale - $371 - can your believe it?

I feel like I had miracles popping up all over, and I believe sincerely that y'all wonderful seniors have been the conduit (is that the right word?) to God -

Second miraculous thing is that he had the same experience I had, a sudden awakening, feeling fear, anger, anxiety and worries just melt away - and then a feeling of peace -- and happiness. I have been praying he would let God into his life.
And it has happened - the best Christmas present I could have, ever - and my son today - took me to my appt at the clinic and then told me he had embraced God in his life.

I am SO happy for all of us.

The U.S. Goverment has given there employees a 6% cost of living raise because of raising inflation and only a 2.3 % cost of living raise to all our senior citizens. Something is wrong with this picture?
Senior citizens have to buy gas, food and products
just like everyone else. Plus now every one of them have to pay for health Insurance.

My parents assume that when they see a black man in a non suburban area, they have a gun their pockets. Please don't tell me that's racist ....... cmon now. These kids in my school think Japanese and Koreans are the richest asians in America while cambodians, filipinos, laotians, etc are the poorest, dirtiest, etc who can't live for ****. I don't know if that is true but either way that is so racist, we are all hard working.
