Basically America first, as always! One for the patriotic Americans

Interesting to see its NW first or at least believed to be by this group. If true, OWs likely lost urticating setae— interesting if true.

Well, although I'm born and bred West London in England, I've been a US Citizen for 10 years, so I'm whooping this one up, too !

And despite that, sadly tons of people will say you’re not a real American. And that crap has been going on since forever in the US’s history

Especially as I sound just like Jason Statham. I haven't lost my accent at all. And that's good and bad... the laydees find it endearing, but ordering a sandwich in a deli can be a nightmare. "Nah mate... TOM-AR-TOE... the red thing there...."

Don’t ever lose the accent. There’s no need for that.

Fascinating stuff! Thanks for sharing the article @Sterls.

I know it's a joke, but for the sake of argument it should be noted that that is just one theory of the age of the Earth amongst those who believe in (the Christian, anyway) God.

Thanks,
