Why should the Aussies get all the fun? Share your current global position with the rest of the world.

I'm from good ol' Blighty (or England to everyone else)

Thats right, the USA

United States of America, lived here most of my life except for 3 years. Dad was in the military and we lived in Germany for 3 years. I live in Louisiana now (no, I don't have an accent and I'm not a hick either :P ).

[quote]What does Blighty mean? I'm mean why call England Blighty?[/quote]
Why call America 'land of the free? It clearly isn't. Blighty's just our nickname for Britain.

That's not true you! You are always free in AMERIKKKA free to be ignorant, and free to be arrogant.

by **gregi696** » April 28th, 2005, 1:13 pm

Right now I'm studying in Hong Kong and I absolutely love it here. Unfortunately, I'm also from America. I hail from New Jersey. I always tell people I meet that I'm from Canada...

Whoa! another maine -iac! nice!

by **loadedkaos** » April 28th, 2005, 10:52 pm

Actually my complete beleif on U$ freedom's is that you are free but that comes at a price. And that we barter and negotiate our freedom back and forth. Although sometimes we get ripped off. Sorry not trying to get phillisophical with you guys but that's how I feel. The U$ motto should be "Freedom at Price!"

by **Agriff** » May 12th, 2005, 2:01 pm

I live in the us, new york, and I think that the slogan "home of the free" is just a big form of propaganda that the gov has created.

The Puss is from Uk/ The nice bit near the bottom.. Wasnt England called "Blighty" during one of those fantastic and interesting wars we learnt about in our history lessons?You know ,The one where we beat the Germans ?? :roll:

[quote="missypuss"]Wasnt England called "Blighty" during one of those fantastic and interesting wars we learnt about in our history lessons?[/quote]
I'm sure I should be able to remember where that word came from... I know that "to catch a blighty one" was army slang, meant suffering an injury which would get you sent home without being too debilitating.

So many things I used to know, now forgotten
I need something to top up my memory, I think

(I'm from England too, although I can't remember if I already posted here)

by **missypuss** » June 30th, 2005, 12:58 pm

Yup !! "Blighty" Oxford Concise says " army slang .. England , Home after foreign service " nothing about war wounds tho, !! :wink: "Brit Slang " suggests that the word doesnt sound right unless escaping from the mouth of the upper classes ...(thats posh to me and you ) :!:

by **chymos** » June 30th, 2005, 2:37 pm

*sigh*....I'm from what to my perception is gradually becoming the Police States of America :\

by **missypuss** » June 30th, 2005, 3:14 pm

:wink: No I think that "Police State "is slowly becoming a UK phenomena aswell, after all "our Tony" loves George a lot and it seems our government in good old Blighty are introducing an awful lot of US type policies... but thats just politics, yawn ...... Sorry Chymos , you may be from US & I may be from UK but Im sure we came from the same planet originally :?: :twisted:

Lovely.....well, there goes what may be the only option I had for moving to another country.....at least without learning a new language, anyway. Oh well.....

I wouldn't be surprised if we did ;)

LOL, chymos! Look on the bright side! Don't you want your very own GPS ankle bracelet? And you can fill your iPod with uplifting oratory like the May 1 Victory speech and recordings of Millipede Blair saying, "On the other hand...."

Need I mention that you have already learned a second language?
("Y'all come back and see us, now, ya heah!")
Since this is a PG channel, I have cleaned up the spelling a little. :wink: )

Don't forget the economic opportunities! Today's paper brought a report that the airport security people rented a magnetometer for six months for $15/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i,/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i--when they could have bought an identical one, brand-new, for $6,/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i.

It may be a specialized field, but if you find a friend who rents magnetometers, you're set for life. :)

by **Jack** » June 30th, 2005, 8:45 pm

There is still one place you can move to without having to learn a new language and have the possibility of freedom. Outer Space. Maybe we'll all move there some day.

by **missypuss** » June 30th, 2005, 11:05 pm

Jack . Im sure we will move to outer space one day... But I saw on the news President Bush is planning to have you guys on the moon by 2020, so I dont think their will be any freedom. Lots of laws , a few armies and the IRS probably but no freedom!!lol :wink:

Canada... the other "only" option, Chymos.

Of course, that's only until you invade us for our water after you're sated on Middle East oil. :wink:

I am from the coldest(emotionally)country...the only country that 90% of the people care about their "personal Space"...can anyone guess(true fact that this country is considered the coldest sometimes most unfriendly)

by **Kalendaine** » December 28th, 2006, 10:09 pm

I, too, am from the US - the midwest, actually. it heartens me to see such animosity towards the US; i know now that at least there's others who feel the same way as i do, you know? I was in some doubt about that, considering most of my neighbors are flag-waving patriots who count 'questioning Dubya's spoken word' a sin *rolls eyes*

Hey jon, im trying real hard to stifle the sarcastic comments that are so obviously invited by the term, Air Capital, since you obviously do not deserve them. But I have to ask. What the hell does Air Capital mean?

Sarnoga

8O Okay - if you feel safer lying & telling foreigners you're from Canada that is somewhat pathetic. Just tell them you're from outter space. And as you're impostoring a Canadian - hope you're being genuinely modest & polite *s*. Geezus, nobody tells the truth anymore !!

Britain, Britain, Britain..I hail from this silly isle, home of the Bush lapdog (usually known as the Prime Minister), scones, trooping the colours, red double decker busses and Cadbury's Chocolate.
