you have just shown how ignorant and self righteous the americans
THINK they are, you make such a great big deal about being the
greatest country in the world, everyone of you in this country is an
immigrant, at least i come from a country where they are proud of
their education, how dare you say that i have none, you have no idea
about me or my education, and i came here legally, i did not enter
this great country of yours illegally, it is you who has an attitude
problem, and you who is embarrassing, what is wrong with me not
wanting to change my british passport, i'm proud of being british
(scottish actually) and with all the travels that i have made and i
have made many, i think i am quite right keeping my passport as the
british are definately more welcome around this world than americans
are, and i am certainly not a bigoted idiot, it is people like you
who give america such a bad name and reputation, and unfortunately if
you think that i am not a representative of what immigrants are
talking about and thinking then you are very sadly wrong. Your whole
country is made up of immigrants, so what makes you any better than me |
