Canadians also get offended for that

It's funny because as American's were automatically under the assumption that only U.S citizens identify with the term lol....

Hong Kong just so happens to be #1 on that list lol. But I'd love to visit there too.

It surely can't be too bad for us to go visit with the value of USD to HKD (1 HKD = 0.1283 USD). Heck $100 HKD = $12/13 USD....that's dirt cheap.

The weird thing is that I've never heard a Mexican considering himself/herself American. However, it's pretty common to hear many Mexicans who feel proud to be part of North America when people start discussing Latin American affairs. It's as if there was some sort of identity conflict when you form part of two regions: North America and Latin America. I think the Turkish may feel the same way we do.

I remembered the discussion the site had last we all discussed nationalities, about a few months or so ago. I didn't know Latin Americans didn't like how the U.S. is referred to as "Americans" because they're called the United States of America.

No one in Canada, refers to themselves as American unless they are from the US. It would be nice if they allowed easier travel between countries in at least North America for Canadians / Americans / Mexicans like they have in the Europeon Union.

That's to live there. It's like visiting Vancouver or Los Angeles in North America. Both are decently priced to visit.... but hell expensive to live in.

Now it came back to me. We all had this discussion last year during the U.S. celebration of "Independence Day" aka the 4th of July. The thread got really heated!

It's not

The elementary school I went to was just really intense. And in fact crazy witch lady probably was responsible for the dead animals thinking about it now, so really not that bad save her, and the few kids who brought in weapons a few times.

Ugh, don't speak of it. A lot of people here hate it, and Joe Biden

. Although not really, I mean we have Office conventions and a mall booth thingy and a bunch of random things relating to it spread around, so guess not, but i was serious about hating Joe Biden

I get offended when Americans try to be too exclusive when defining North America.
I mean they already took the word "American," and now they mostly all claim North America is just USA, Canada, and Mexico, OR just US and Canada.

It's really common, from what I've seen a lot, that they try to discount Mexico as being part of North America.
They'll try saying it's Central or Latin America but not North America. I swear it's common and irritates me so much. I even lashed out at a girl in my Spanish class over it a few days ago.

This Deeds argument is giving me so much Deja vu.

No, we can't forget our Caribbean Friends and Central America as well, they're part of what we call "North America" as well.

I would love to live there too... More career opportunites there. But they don't just hand out visa's. You would have better chance then me.... and I live like 45 minutes away.
