Heights of the Andes.... I was born in the heights of the Andes (1,630 mts) under an Avocado tree, woken up every morning by the beautiful sounds of the Tuki-Tuki birds, pray to the Sun God, as did my native ancestors, and track and kill my food with my bare hands, so yea....I'm an American. Oh yea, in my village, having 10" like I do, makes you a very rich rich man....
Is that supposed to be some kind of phylosophical question? To know whether or not the piece of pie belongs to the pie falls down to whether or not the pie can be atributed the human capability of owning something and also whether or not the physical separation between the piece of pie and the pie and the physical state (all chewed up) changes the capability of the pie to own the piece of pie I'm just playing around Pibe#10 > having 10" in Venezuela doesn't help you, that's the average length. But it does in the US
So what are you trying to say with the pie thing? I think that a pie is a very tasteful food. I like lemon pies but does that mean that only US people can eat them? No, I don't think so. Besides pie in spanish is foot. So you are probably trying to say that you'd like to kick my ass in some subtle way (very). And what about pizza? I like pizza a lot but you didn't talk about it. You are a food racist man, damn you. Now let's talk about certain movie... You know... AMERICAN PIE!
What we are talking about here is communication. Communication exists so that we can understand each other, not so that we can be right. Do what you have to do to get your point across. If I am in the USA or English-speaking Europe I will not hesitate to call myself an American when refering to my country of origin-not to be ignorant of continental Americans, but to be understood. When I am in Latin America, I will take caution to be specific, as I may be misunderstood if I use the word American. When I am on a message board that reaches the world over, I call myself Blong. Thank you.

If we don't fight against it, in 10 years Catholics will not be Christians in US culture. To me, this quote sums up the entire thrust of that thread. I've lived in the US my entire life & I think the possibility of Catholics no longer being recognized as Christians in "US culture" is so far-fetched that the entire idea is baffling to me. The poster offers no evidence to support this ominous warning. And when have Americans ever suggested that Uruguayans, et. al. are not allowed to call themselves American? And precisely why is it so important to identify yourselves first & foremost by your continent? I've met thousands of Europeans in my day & if I ask 'em what they are they invariably respond "I'm Polish, I'm Irish, I'm Spanish, etc.". Not "I'm European, I'll leave you to guess what country I'm from." The rather innocent explanation for how we came to be called Americans has been explained here. Honestly, do Indians get pissed off if a Cherokee refers to himself as an Indian? Or do they just accept the historical accident that led to the redundancy? It's not that big of a deal. I'm Irish-American & when people hear my very Irish name they ask "Are you Irish?" Sometimes I say 'yeah', sometimes I say 'well, no, not technically, I mean, I'm an American of Irish descent, my parents were born there." Either way it's not a big deal. It's not like I'm trying to co-opt the Irish; just like Americans aren't trying to get one over on South America. Human communication is rarely precise.
