EagleWoman: I´ve never been to America ... but I agree with your sentiment to not confuse "people" with the politics of a country.

saoirse65: Sometimes I think that we are very quick to make Negative comments about America and the American people. We make assumptions about them based on some stupid American tv shows that even the Americans think are stupid.
Bashing the Yanks gets on my nerves. Possibly I am a bit biased because I lived there for 14 years.
While I lived there I was lucky enough to meet the most amazing people. I got to know the regular Joe Soaps who were just trying to earn a few bob and do the best for their families. All Americans are not fat and stupid! I found the people that I met to be really caring and genuine.
Please let us not forget that America was a refuge for the Irish after the famine...for Europeans after World war 2. I took care of elderly people in New York who had lost all of their family members in concentration camps.They were very grateful to have been able to come to America.
I found the American people to be really welcoming when I lived there. I base my experience on having lived in New York but I did visit some other American cities and felt the same welcome.
This thread was prompted after seeing comments on another thread.
When I went to America first I did not understand why Americans said they were Irish or Italian etc. I finally understood that they were respecting their parents heritage etc. One of my friends once said to me...oh Yanks saying they are Irish! His daughter was born in New York years later...me being me...took the piss out of him and said..oh you have an American kid! He said..No she is Irish...I said..oh really..then so are all the other people that you are saying are not Irish just cos they were born in America.
Anyway....just saying..please stop and think before bashing a country that in my opinion has been pretty good to the Irish through the years.
This thread is not about American Politics...it is about the American people, so please address political issues somewhere else :)



Blah blah blah blah ...grin

Okay can someone please explain whats the deal with a wienerwurst in a loaf and calling it a Hot Dog...
or Halloween...devil

Conrad73: even made a Song about it!

This is such a coincidence Con, as another CSer sent this to me yesterday as well. It is such a feel-good movie and that wonderful Christmas song came from it, "Have yourself a merry little Christmas".

I've lived in St. Louis since 1988, but was born & raised on the other side of Missouri, in Kansas City. Kansas City's claim to fame is: the home of Blues and had a big influence on the origination of Jazz, barbeque, President Truman, the city that ignored Prohibition in the 1920s (heathens we are!), it was the last "civilized" stopping point for the pioneers in their covered wagons (there are areas where one can still see the wagon wheel tracks. Missouri was a divided state in the civil war as well, and the the Pony Express started here.

Some famous people from Missouri include: Kaybee, T.S. Eliot, Robert Heinlein, Mark Twain, Charles Lindbergh, Jesse James & his gang, Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd, Walt Disney, Betty Grable, Jean Harlow, Steve McQueen, Brad Pitt, Ginger Rogers, Chuck Berry.

Enough history and fun facts for the day. grin

That is true that many Americans are lovely people. And that is also true that we should distinguish between the people and the state politics, be it American, Iranian or Russian or whatever, because not all people in one given country are the same.

Well Halloween is actually a thing that originated in Ireland...so you can blame that one on us...Samhain etc!
Hot dogs are mega...
Blah blah blah yourselflaugh
I still dont know how to Multi/double quote...
So to the Staten Island poster...Yikes, I remember working there..I had to take the subway from Queens...get the ferry to Staten Island and then get a bus to my destination....Train, boat and bus just to get to work.
I put this thread up on the Irish Forums also and got what I thought was an overall negative response...It was even suggested that I go back to the US if I liked it so much..rolling on the floor laughing
