hey, to be fair, the maginot line was built after ww1 and wouldve whooped ass at the time. its not a new thing when militaries dont upgrade strongholds, norads been the same for plenty of years, its still just a mountain on top of them.
also, .asm, i dont know how true your statement is. ive met a lot of ppl from all of my backgrounds, ive never been laughed at, of course, i dont go up to french people with the opening line of "im a quarter french", but its bound to come up at some time in conversation, and i dont think its worth laughing at. its all just names anyway, just because i was born in america, it doesnt mean i participated in 200 years of history. i am no more responsible for the outcome of the revolutionary war than any german is for the nazi uprising. and contemporary european culture isnt outstandingly different from ours.
i guess what im getting at is that we're all humans, and we have different opinions:P. for the love of god, lets get over it, if we all thought the same thing then we may as well eliminate the word "I". (anthem, anyone?)
