Woody Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 How many of our presidents were not born in the United States? Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Stan Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I don't think any of ours were, correct me if I am wrong. AND the head of state is called Governor Generals here. The Current one was born in Haiti and the previous one was born in Japan.

Woody Posted February 20, 2008 Author Posted February 20, 2008 WE in the United States just celebrated President's Day this week. So, this is in honor of our Presidents .... Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Stan Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Yeah, I know.. this is however a world wide forum... it even includes some Sweds but have not seen them for a while.. We return to the original programming..

Woody Posted February 20, 2008 Author Posted February 20, 2008 Well ... I don't know of any world-wide Presidents. Hitler didn't quite accomplish that. PS. And the Sweds can talk about their presidents and the Irish can talk about their Teeshook (Sorry about the spelling I'm a little rusty on my Gaelic) and the English can talk about their Prime Minister and on and on. This forum is wide enough for all. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Amelia Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Trick question. Some of our first presidents were born when their states were part of the colonies and not yet the "United States. But all were born on American soil.

Moderators Bravus Posted February 20, 2008 Moderators Posted February 20, 2008 President Schwarzenegger was not born in the US. Oops, wait, did I just have a flashforward? Quote Truth is important
Woody Posted February 20, 2008 Author Posted February 20, 2008 Not Likely Bravus. Not Likely. I don't see the US authorizing that to happen. There was talk about allowing Kissinger to do that ... but with no success. So ... I doubt it. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won.

carolaa Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 But all were born on American soil. What do you mean by American soil? I don't think George Washington, James Madison, and many others were born on American soil. But I hand it to you for seeing the "trick." I was still trying to figure it out. Quote
Amelia Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Sure it's American soil. This is the North American continent. Canada is even Amercian soil. teehe Quote <p><span style="color:#0000FF;"><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;">"Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words, the kind that build up and provide what is needed, so that what you say will do good to those who hear you."</span></span> Eph 4:29</span><br><br><img src="http://banners.wunderground.com/weathersticker/gizmotimetemp_both/US/OR/Fairview.gif" alt="Fairview.gif"> Fairview Or</p>
Woody Posted February 21, 2008 Author Posted February 21, 2008 Quote: Born in 1732 into a Virginia planter family, he learned the morals, manners, and body of knowledge requisite for an 18th century Virginia gentleman. I found this on the internet regarding George Washington . But I have to question it because there was NO State of Virginia and NO United States in 1732 as far as I would understand it. What say you? And speaking of GW ... Did you know that he didn't belong to any political party. He was a true "Independent". However ... I think the Republicans like to claim him for his military stance.

Woody Posted February 21, 2008 Author Posted February 21, 2008 Quote: Canada is even Amercian soil. Eh ... Canada would love to be adopted by the US.

Amelia Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 The colonies won independance in 1781. Virginia became our founding state in 1792.

Moderators Denise Posted February 21, 2008 Moderators Posted February 21, 2008 I was talking to a friend the other day on the phone, and she told me that Canada is going to be part of the US one day, and also Mexico..or was it New Mexico? I don't know, one of the two...and said they were working on that....but I don't know how true that is...this is what she told me and believed that. Anyone know?

Planey Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Quote: Canada is even Amercian soil. Eh ... Canada would love to be adopted by the US. But so far we have not chosen to include them in our family. Eh. Amelia is completely correct. She stated that Canada is American soil. Of course it is. Look at an atlas. or a globe. Canada is located on the continent of North America. There are a bunch of countries that form Central America, and another group form South America. Collectively the whole lot make up America. It is typical arrogance to think that "America" or "American" is synonymous with"The United States of America" Get a grip Red. Graeme Quote Graeme____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Woody Posted February 22, 2008 Author Posted February 22, 2008 WELLL ... Apparently WE are the only country who thought enough of America to put it in our name. Therefore .... Weeeee .... Are Americans and widely accepted as such through out the world. I would venture to say that NO Mexican in good card carrying standing ... would call himself an Americaniono NOR would any good Peruvian worth taking us to Maccu Piccu. Now would he? So, that proves my point. I now retire in just as much of a High and Mighty condition as I was in before I read your misinformed post. And don't forget to love one another ....

David Koot Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 It is typical arrogance to think that "America" or "American" is synonymous with"The United States of America" Oh nonsense! Anywhere in the world, if you say, 'America,' people understand that to refer to the United States. 'America' has become synonymous with the 'United States.' For that matter, American culture, American technology, American military might, the American language (NOT the Queen's English), American ideals, rule the waves. America is the new Brittania.

David Koot Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 I just couldn't resist, Laz. At times, the 'America-bashing' does get a bit tiresome. Quote
