CottonTop Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 By that do you mean by real Americans I keep promising I won't respond on these type threads anymore but I cannot let this one pass. There is a plaque at the Statue of Liberty that reads, in part: ""Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" -Emma Lazarus 1883 With the exception of Native Americans, this applies to all of us. Buck, Harleyman, Poppins, USUK and The Yank may not have US birth certificates, but they are as much American as I am and I do have a US birth certificate. They are REAL Americans.

Better get a life Ruby I'd be damned if I would be awake for anything at that time, least of all the forum lol you're getting preferential treatment now, I'm not even allowed to answer you anymore, on pain of being deleted. I didn't even ask what virtriole was ... just that all Yanks were lightweights who were tucked up by midnight after a couple of weak beers? And there was a really nice post from the people at the Heights of Abraham at Matlock Bath which has also been deleted whilst I've been at work!! It's just typical that the residents of this country are discriminated against in favour of the foreigners Oh well, insult away ... if you were in the Sims game, I'd just take your pool ladder away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
