However, most hyphenated Americans don't, they're desperate for a identity, but don't actually know anything about the ethnicity they claim as theirs. LOL. This is based off your extensive field work on ARFCOM? I guess I missed the UN Resolution that demanded that Swedish Minister of Culture (not that they are overly busy, in any event) be the final authority on what it means to be a Swedish American. No, he is right.... I see this especially with the Nuyoricans that claim they are 100% Puerto Rican Boricua when they have never left NYC, their parents never left NYC, nor their grandparents. They don't speak Spanish and they have no clue about the island and it's history. When I go to NJ to visit family I see Italians that aren't Italian. Their Great Great Grandfather came over and that was it... they don't speak it, they no nothing of the old country, they have no living relatives in the old country, etc.... My case is a bit different. My family came over as political refugees, I didn't speak English until I was six years old, still have family in Cuba, and as a matter of fact will be traveling there in a year to visit family. That is a hassle with the State Department but they approved the trip. This is not unique to the United States. About 40 years ago a fellow Anthropology grad student at UFl who was a German national went to Brazil to do the research for his dissertation. When he came back he was excited because he had found a community of self identified Germans. They could not speak German and none,of them had ever been out of Brazil. Also look at,data on Confederatos in BraIl. Or the Irish in Argentina... they fled British rule and settled there. Some of their descendants fought in the Falklands.... on he Argie side of course. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falkland_Islands_sovereignty_referendum,_2013 |

Dresden was unhit to that point, and was a huge rail marshaling yard, which was a legitimate target.

Quoted:
While part of it, I'd say there was more bad blood over the Irish War of Independence, a more recent open-wound at least. A lot of the "auxiliaries" during that war 1919-1920 weren't given a lot of oversight, good many reprisal killings by "official" forces against civilians along with town-burnings and sackings. I'll never support the IRA, anyone who attacks civilians earns a blackmark. However just like the Rhodesian conflict, a lot of stuff that simply isn't reported, covered or documented that "somewhat" changes ones perspective. How about the American-british bombings in WWII. 100% civilian targeted bombings. Actually many were on military targets. However, certain operations, like the firebombing of Dresden, turn my stomach. And Churchill was crazy about wanting to use biologicals on the Germans. At one time I greatly respected that man. As I learn the overlooked details, I realize he was a monster if no one held his leash. Dresden was unhit to that point, and was a huge rail marshaling yard, which was a legitimate target. Especially after Germany started shooting V-weapons indiscriminately towards English cities, the gloves were off. Keep in mind, too, that the Luftwaffe started the terror-bombing thing when they tried to wipe Coventry off the map. So we are acknowledging the mutual terrorist civilian targeted bombing by the allies in WWII? Even if in retaliation to the axis. |

Fascinating conflict. I love the military hardware and uniforms of the time. I need a Ferret and an L1A1.
To think that an insurgency could last for over thirty years in a first world country between two supposedly civilized countries is simply astonishing. That three thousand people had to die is just bewildering. |

The Cause became mired in Marxist dalectics and a sorry sideshow of the Cold War--it lost it's inherently "Irish" characteristics and became a peculiar, grotesque ideological Frankenstien--and then I guess it just collapsed into drug-dealing and mafia turf wars. I saw an intersting light/funny film that kind of looked at what the IRA had become and how most average Irish Joes saw them. It was called The Guard (which is what the Irish call the cops). It isn't a profound film, but it has some interesting moments.
I also saw an long but fairly interesting film about 1970's/80's terrorism, following the life of Carlos (The Jackal) across the arc of his career. Worth watching, along with Baader Meinhof Complex.

About a week ago, I met an R.N. working in an emergency room.
I could not place the accent, so I asked where he was from. He was one of the whitest white guys I've ever met. He told me that he was born and raised in South Africa, and he emigrated here eleven years ago. He's more African than the ten or eleven "African-Americans"are that I know. My wife's BIL is quite proud to be "Polish". I asked him once, how to say "Good Morning" in Polish, Of course, he had no fucking idea. He had no fucking idea, because he was born and raised in New York, just like his parents. I told him that unfortunately, he was just American. |

The fact that he happens to post in the same threads as UK posters is probably more to do with common "continental" interests, rather than him "following" UK posters.

About a week ago, I met an R.N. working in an emergency room. I could not place the accent, so I asked where he was from. He was one of the whitest white guys I've ever met. He told me that he was born and raised in South Africa, and he emigrated here eleven years ago. He's more African than the ten or eleven "African-Americans"are that I know. My wife's BIL is quite proud to be "Polish". I asked him once, how to say "Good Morning" in Polish, Of course, he had no fucking idea. He had no fucking idea, because he was born and raised in New York, just like his parents. I told him that unfortunately, he was just American. How did this shit become a cornerstone of a thread about The Troubles? Why are you grinding this particular axe in this thread? It makes no sense to me. It started when the Plastic Paddies posted terrorist propaganda, and then Madcap got butthurt when we told him that drinking Guinness once a year doesn't make him Irish. I am receptive to heairng honest perspective from Ulster Protestants. Presumably you are not one of those? |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Just an as an observation, I think the more likely explanation is that Swede tends to be more likely to post in threads where there is a European element, because he is European. The fact that he happens to post in the same threads as UK posters is probably more to do with common "continental" interests, rather than him "following" UK posters. While the EU as an organisation is an utter travesty, the various nations of Europe do tend to form a fairly close "community" by virtue of their proximity to each other. Naturally any thread where one of the neighbours is mentioned is going to attract interest. Quote HistoryQuoted:

"I'm european, and Americans are not--so there". <edit: yeah, I'd best just not> |

You Yanks sure get butthurt when someone questions your fake ethnicities.

More to the point in all of this: Why is it that the Irish who emigrated to America spend so much time looking back?
