I've got nothing against Americans what so ever, many great things have come from the country as well as many great people.

There are however a few questions I have, excuse the generalisations and don't take offence. Why do so many Americans cling to their past so much, everyone you meet is Italian American or half Irish etc. I can understand if your parents are of one nationality however this happens generations after.

Secondly I'm not to fond of this "I'll kick you ass" mentality which you find more often than from other nationalitys. Just look into any thread on here and there'll be someone threatening someone else after a disagreement.

I think America's the Britain of the future. When China overtakes America both ecomonically and military wise America will go from the most influencal nation in the world to the second, something Britain had to deal with a while back.
