I was born in England to English parents, but I live in Wales, and have done for most of my life. I consider myself to be English & British!

I am an American, but as for anchestral nationality, I am a mutt...my family has been in America since 1666, so well, yeah, we're a lot of things now, and they don't even know where my pilgrim anchestor came from...they think denmark....i'm not sure...oh well....i know I'm part french and crow native american and irish, but as for the rest i'm not sure...

But I'm proud to be an American Mutt!!!!!

Puh, insulting people because they come from a certain country is ridiculous, and you can be sure that nobody here will do such a thing. It's not your fault some of the people in your country do such things! Have fun on the board!

It would be a horrible thing if anyone on this board did such a thing, especially as every country has similar problems.

Yeah, it's so easy to just generalize but don't look beyond...

Considering this, I really think such forums with many nationalities are an important step towards reducing prejudices...hey guys, by just being here, we're improving the world! Yeay!

I'm german, btw (for those who don't know yet)

If that helps your mood 8-) , Marcus, I'm portuguese (yeah, I know it's not the same :P , but at least we speak the same language :razz: ).

Like some others, I've been bred and I'm still in my original country :-? , Portugal. My entire family is also portuguese. I don't know any relatives coming from other countries... :D
