Your ancestors came to this continent, pillaged, raped and murdered everyone who got in their way and believed it was their God given right and purpose to occupy this entire "new world".

Now you guys are complaining that you have a bunch of "illegal immigrants" coming into "your" country.

I think it's disgusting.

Im proud of my history because it's mine. We did some bad stuff but Im still proud to say I'm an American. If you don't like it then stay in Canada. Problem solved.

ditto.... every country in this world at one point in its history plundered, pillaged etc.... so the history of the U.S.A. is no different, it is just the most recent in history to happen, even though it was centuries ago.

So following your logic, it would be fine for "illegal immigrants" to pillage and plunder?

Let's see: trolling, stereotyping, flamebaiting... this should be great!

Where do I get the popcorn?

Was about to whip out the lawn chair but this pathetic troll attempt isn't worth it.

I'm saying Americans should feel ashamed of their past. Not proud.

Let's take this nice and slow

1) Why do you call it "your history" and then go and say " 'your' country" I suppose I'll just say "your" land is really the brits, or maybe it's actually "your" seal cubs.

No, most of the American ancestors were legal immigrants that came after the pillaging ended.

I'm sure, of course, that you're also ashamed of whatever bad things there are in your country's past.

So, you Canadians (French/British) invaders of North America are all the much better eh?

(unless of course you are native american) in which case, why not bash Canada while you are at it?

i am not going to get into it with your question, but i will say this:
I am proud that my great grandmother and GGrandfather, came here with literally nothing, worked hard, learned the language, paid taxes, made a life for themselves without ever looking for assistance outside of their own family.

Every civilization builds upon a history of blood. Be that my history (danish) or american. I don't see anything being wrong with being proud of being an american, they've evolved into one of the most succesfull and somewhat just systems in the world.

[edit]
Albeit modern danish history mostly concerns carefully planned, well performed, strategical defeats.

However stupid the OP is, the point is still a decent one.

The Mexicans just don't have the firepower to displace the Americans. Duh.
