Don't be a hater, get out more and enjoy life. The only Americans are the native Americans who were not dissussing, the rest of us are English, German, Italian, Spanish, etc etc etc. My father was born in Essen and my grandmother in Dublin I just happen to be born and raised here and I'm as...

Lol! Does a transvestite coun't? Kilts are ok if you have the legs and bicepts for it.

A few comments from an American; as someone who has lived on the east and west coast you can also see the differences in construction practices, remember 50 states 50 rules on doing things, Califorina windows don't work the same as Maryland windows or have the same shape. I have a glass...

I strongly agree with you on a united EU and if a conflict should some up between the EU and Russia the EU has a strong edge over Russia.

Measuring a military by the size of it's army is misleading. Look at iraq in Kuwait, Iraq had at least a top 20 army and the US defeated it in 3 days (size doesn't always matter). On N Korea while it's army is large it suffers from a lack of food, the height of the average solder has been...
