...that there are so many amazing things to see in the world? Countless natural wonders that nearly choke me with beauty, architectural gems that over-awe me, so many people to meet and make friends with, so many cultures to experience and memories yet to be born?

How am I meant to see for myself all of the wonders that are on the TV every day? I think I'd die a long time before I saw half of those things....

...ever feel the same?

After a drunken debate I was left with no answer to the infamous question, "how much wood, could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"

And is it the closest pub to you, or is there one closer but you've made a personal preference to frequent another establishment?

My local is the Mermaid but it's full of sleazy old men, so I go to the next closest, the Globe.

PS, bonus question- what is the best name for a pub you've heard in the UK?

Its like words do not mean anything anymore we talk but people only hear what they want to hear. We now live our lives to have the amercian dreams of the white pickett fence and the dog ang three kids and life is really more about that its about finding your purpose in life. I fear that I will not find my purpose. Did you know on average that it will take the average person seven years to get a four year degree. That because their lost and cannot figure out what the heck they are going to do with their life. Its like we all live for our nitch in the materialistic fiber of society. It reminds me of a quote by Albert Einstien he said, " dont be a man of success but rather a man of value" its very sad what money can do to people. It makes them selfish, WHY? I would like your thoughts on this particular subject. Thank You

If there is something about immigrations there is always whining like "the white took America from the native Americans". This was hundreds of years ago, forget it !!

Don't you have something to be proud of ? Isn't there a great culture there ? Just be proud of yourself and you don't need to whine !

We've got the Safer Sex Ball coming up at University, a big, informal and fun event where all the money raised goes to helping AIDS awareness. The dress theme, as you might imagine, is anything orientated towards sex, from lads who go just wearing condoms to girls decked out in Ann Summer's finest.

Last year me and a few mates went as the Village People (I was the cowboy...leather chaps with nothing on underneath!). As you've probably guessed it's all good, tounge-in-cheek fun!

This year I was thinking of going as a porn star- PVC trousers, wide-collared leopard print shirt, medallion, fake ponytail and handlebar moustache topped off with a pair of gold-rimmed aviators. But a few girlfriends have suggested I go as Indiana Jones (I kind of look a little like a young Harrison Ford, and I'm studying archaeology). They say will will be sexy as opposed to all-out 'sleazy' (as the porn outfit was intended).

Which do you think?!

I ask this in response to a recent question from Oprah regarding “What makes you an American?”

I am an American -as are my parents, grandparents and the majority of my great-grandparents. How many native-born generations does it take before one is allowed to be - plainly and simply - an American?

Although still young in comparison to many countries, the United States of America is now 230 years old. I believe her citizens should have the right to be known as Americans by now.

I am offended by the endless forms I’m required to fill out that ask for my “ethnicity”. Often, I mark “other” and place the word American in the blank beside it.

When will the word “American” be enough to describe my ethnicity? Do the This-American and That-American ethnic and ancestral adjectives used by so many unite us as a people – or divide us? If the USA is the “great melting pot” – why are so many who are born, raised and choosing to remain here unwilling to count themselves as part?
