Thank you. I was waiting for one of you red-necks to say something stupid like this. You, my soft-bellied 'American' friend, have just revealed the very thing wrong with so many people in your country as a whole. I'll spell it out for you (wish I had crayons and a piece of cardboard here)... It's called: United States 'of' America. Did you catch the 'OF' part. No? The name of your country is the 'United States', fortunate to be located in a part 'of' the Americas. That'd be like canada Calling itself the United Provinces and Territories 'of' America. But instead they got together and gave their Country an actual name, not just a collection of different regions grouped together as a Union of different States. Hell, the U.S. has more in common with the USSR as far as that goes, than they do with Canada.
