36 year old, 1st generation Hungarian living in St. Paul, Minnesota. My parents left Hungary in '56 because they had enough of war and revolution. Ironically enough, now I live in a country that starts wars and funds revolutions.

I'm currently living in Greensboro, NC for graduate school. home to the "sketchiest" bike route. But I love being able to bike 20 minutes and be in open country, with lots of hills. Plus it's a fun city, close to the mountains(1hour) and not so close to the beach (3 hours).

Why should he have to move? Wasn't he born in the US and has lived all his life there?

Was I talking to you? I don't know where you live...but here in the States there are a lot of people who disparage the country. My comment was such that if you don't like it you can leave...being a free country and all. But seeing as you are so much superior to me...and how I am morally bankrupt I shall bow down to your wisdom oh king. That is sarcasm!

Please stop. I was merely pointing out the irony in thought between generations of my parents and myself. Don't assume I don't love my home country (US), because it's just untrue. But telling me I can move if I want based on what I said is a bit over the top considering this was an intro to forum members.

Look...for crying out loud...I said I didn't want to debate...read that...if you have a beef it is with my stalker...ruamruam...he is the one that brought it back up. I appreciate irony in your life. I'm glad you love the US..we have that in common!!! I'll reciprocate...if you want to debate pm me.

loved and laughed at most of the responses.

But still, I hope that many will edit their UserCP with information indicative of original tongue/predominate dialect.

Important for those of us born and raised in a country not where we currently reside. FWIW, I was born and raised in the BDR and have spent a fair amount of time with cousins in Sweden and Switzerland, yet most of my 49 years of life has been here in Colorado.

I answered two of your posts, that hardly makes me a stalker!!!

I live in Berkeley, CA USA. I get ****ed when I'm out riding and cyclists blow through stop signs, cause me to rip a skid to avoid getting hit then get angry when I point out that they had the stop sign, not me. That said everything I need is within walking or biking distance.

I'm Wally, originally from Germany. I've been living twenty miles outside of Washington D.C. for the last twenty five years. Lived in Miami for a few years prior to that. I'll take the liberty and say I'm amongst the older heads on here. Had I the good fortune to race in Europe in my youth, I'm afraid I would have been up against the likes of The Badger and The Professor.

Ha! I was born in DC and lived in Falls Church, before moving to Germany.
