I recently read that German was the number 1 reported ethnicity amongst Americans. In fact, there are far more people in the U.S. who are of German ancestry than any other ethnicty. After reading this, I started noticing how many Americans have German last names.

I'm Canadian and Canada, of course, is another immigrant nation, just as Australia and New Zealand are. However, here in Canada, by far the most reported ancestry is English, followed by French, and then Scottish. In America, if memory serves me right, it's German, followed by Irish and then African American, and I beleive Italian or Polish is fourth.

Was there any specific reason why so many Germans came to the United States? It's really weird that two countries (Canada and America) could have such a completely different immigrant mix.

By the way, I'm 25% each of English, French, German and Dutch, so my mix is probably more Americanesque than most Canadians.

I live in the city and I pay a good amount of rent for my apartment which I rented because I am allowed to have a washer & dryer in the basement. I purchased a nice washer and dryer and had them installed in my hook-up. My landlord does not live in the building. There is this creepy guy who lives in a one room apartment in the basement. It is an illegal apartment. He keeps me up half the night because his video games are so loud. He and his girlfriends are constantly using my washer and dryer all the time even though I have written him letters to stop. They even leave their clothes in dryer all the time. The landlord tells me to work it out among yourselves. 2 weeks ago I found a crackvile in the dryer and my baby's clothes go in that dryer. Also, my luggage was stolen from storage area. If I report this illegal apartment to the city, then the landlord will know I did it and I am afraid I will have to move. I am in no finacial position to look for a new place now.

I'm tired of religion and personal faith being such a big deal. I wish I lived in a society where less destructive national policies and the advancment of knowledge were held in higher regard than stance on abortion and how much your faith in a divine being governs your life. I feel like my country is losing its grasp on reality and logic and there is nothing I can do to stop it.
