So try this experiment:

1. Put on a Toby Keith video, if you find yourself jumping up and saying "that's what I'm tawlkin' about", you really want to be an american.

2. Drink a can of budweiser, if you find yourself spitting it out, well.....actuallly that just means you know piss water when you drink it and nothing else. I'll have to think more about this test.....
Interesting my dear Watson...but you are not in posession of all the facts:

I was born in the USA and am therefore an United Statian As well as a Dutchman

So no.

As for the following poster, Icedog.

That's a bit of a cheap shot at WW2 (I think) wasn't it? Because since then we honestly haven't been occupied (at least not since the USA was occupied by the french and british.) since or before that.

And NO...it was NOT just to get a rise. It was an honest question. I honestly wondered. It seems that there is no clear cut answer though. Because a lot of people some to have suggestions as to what COULD be the reason....but no-one has any certain answers.

I'm surprised though. I can't have been the first person to have ever wondered this have I?
