I imagine it will, in a few centuries, after the association with the American invader has worn off, and a few other bits of social evolution take root.

Further, please, look this one up in the "colliding cultures" thread in which you will find a little extension on that subject and as we are getting along better every day, we will have many joyful hours to come on this one.

To make a point here:
Any American, to call another American 'Anti-American', just b/c he or she has a different view on things, makes a traitor out of her/himself.

Therefor one has got to be kidding, or is simply out of his/her mind.

For some, it would be good advise to refrain from use of terms (slurs) of which they neither know the purpose of it's creation nor the magnitude of it's implementation.
Please read #90.

Would you say that traitors betray their country for love of country? Some do.

Other traitors betray their country for money or due to extortion or blackmail.

Regardless of the reason that they betray their country, if their side wins then we call them, "patriots." If their side loses we call them traitors. Whatever the cause of their betrayal, it is the outcome that determines how history will regard them.

one of these days you are going to get so clever with words that you are going to disappear up your own anus.

people who imply things vaguely are just plain and simple cowards.

do you think you can understand what i have written? and reflect on it?

Like I said, I wrote exactly what I meant to write. Clearly stated, unambiguous, no innuendo. I stand by those words exactly as I wrote them and precisely the definition of the words as written.

If you saw innuendo that is YOUR problem, not mine.

I had not considered the possibility of my head traveling the same path that yours has discovered voluntarily on multiple occasions. I meant that, too, exactly as written. Clear?
