I will never understand why people not from this country have such a problem with Americans holding onto their roots and heritage. You are a prime example. You criticize us if we act "too American" and you do the same if we honor our Scandinavian or European heritage... It's a lose lose situation.

@piroxhuginmolly well you know as a Canadian of full blood Norwegian descent, there's a saying I've heard many times. "There's none more Norse than the Norse abroad always pining for the old sod, and sometimes even cod." Tongue in cheek doncha know. I'm just glad I'm not an Icelander with a need to eat Hakarl in order to justify getting drunk on brennevin. Frankly I think the one requires the other but not conversely. ; )

@ShitMovies2000 never heard that before...  way to go corky

@GenuineVanillaFace tldnr; u mad?

[GenuineVanillaFace]

@ShitMovies2000 That sounds like something you really need to get over. Maybe talk to a shrink or something, lay your hateful feelings out there and cope with it. Believe it or not, you having some selfish problem with me honoring where my family came from less than 71 years ago doesn't change the fact that my great grandparents were born in Herzogenaurach Germany. It also doesn't change the fact that I still to this day have family living there. You are a tool, plain and simple.

@GenuineVanillaFace I cringe every time I hear an American say "OH I'M IRISH BECAUSE MY GREAT GREAT GRANDMOTHER'S COUSIN'S DOG CAME HERE WAY BACK IN..."

Stick to your own continent please.
