Re: Is the US still a dream worth pursuing?

I still disagree. I've never paid more for petrol than on the M1 motorway, I used to drive to Hemel 2-3 times a week for work and would always make sure I had enough petrol to get me there and back...

Re: Is the US still a dream worth pursuing?

We lived in Milton Keynes before moving to LA, life in the US is definately more expensive for us. Other than the pi$$ take on petrol I never found anything in England overly expensive.

Re: Is the US still a dream worth pursuing?

But does that make them Proud to be Ethiopian, or proud of an Ethopian's achievements?

I'm guessing I see a distinction between these, other people see it as one and the same.

Re: Is the US still a dream worth pursuing?

Not really, I feel lucky that I was born in a country that is well developed and not into a slum in Pakistan for instance.

It doesn't make me proud or pleased though.

Strangely, I seem to...

Re: Is the US still a dream worth pursuing?

Ok, so based on this you are proud to be American because of what America as a country has done.

Therefore, you are proud of the war in Vietnam, the Hiroshima bomb, Japanese POW camps...

There is nothing I don't like about England (well I'm sure if I thought hard enough there would be something). I love England and would be more than happy to go back, I just don't get how I can be...

Re: Is the US still a dream worth pursuing?

I'm proud of some elements in British history, like fighting off the Germans. It just doesn't make me proud to have been fortunate enough to be born in England.

Re: Is the US still a dream worth pursuing?

What do they teach in History in German schools? Is it an honest account, or do they just dodge that subject?

Re: Is the US still a dream worth pursuing?

FFS, I obviously need to be clearer in my posts.

I AM NOT PROUD TO BE ENGLISH, I DON'T GET WHY ANYONE IS PROUD TO HAPPEN TO HAVE BEEN BORN IN A PARTICULAR COUNTRY.

Re: Is the US still a dream worth pursuing?

As my original post said, I don't get it for ANY country, US or UK.

I know the guidelines to become a UK or US Citizen dictate you have to say these things... But I don't understand why:confused:

Yes they do but in my opinion its a load of bollox (I'm ready for the abuse), I don't get why people are so proud to be American or English or any other nationality.
