It really has been getting under my skin lately. I say close the fucking boarder until the economy gets better and we stop out-sourcing all our good jobs to India.

Excuse me? Where are you from?
and Are you gonna give the money to the government
to close the "fucking" border?
They havent built one cause they aint got the money..
how stupider can it be? passing a law, and not enforcing it.
Even if they did, there is always a way to come to the U.S illegaly.
I believe the U.S economy isnt bad at all after all, I wanna say its one of the
richest countries in the world..but im not sure..
Illegals helped a bit to raise it up
The only jobs illegals are taking up are the jobs that U.S
citizens arnt willing to do...
um, no..there is this thing called minimum wage..its
not that low to be considered cheap..besides its something you
wouldnt work for.
The federal minimum wage for covered
nonexempt employees is $5.15 per hour.
Just so you guys all know, it isnt as easy as ya'll think
to get passport to the U.S from Mexico.
Thats what there are illegals.

2. People from North America
The most common term however is the U.S.A.'s.

Thats true, but most people are starting to realise that America isnt a country...
Its the western hemisphere like PowerPuff Grrl said..(Power Puff Girls rule!)
I think its pretty dumb for the U.S not to have a umm a name that doesnt use
the Hemisphere for.
Im guessing the reason they are called Americans is because U.S was
the first country to be formed in the western hemisphere..correct me if im wrong.
oh..and United States of America um..thats not really like a proper name..
it isnt the only country that has united states.

I don't know why you guys had to call yourselves Americans, or Untied States of America, in the first place since the term is supposed to refer to everbody on this side of the Atlantic. That makes as much sense as only calling a person from the UAE, United Arab Emirates, an Arab; the term applies to all of Arabia. If you catch my drift.
Ah well, you guys are called Americans now, whatever. Most Canadians though never say America, we say the States or the US, I guess out of principle or just to annoy you guys.  |
