I know the US was "seeded" with defectors from England and the like. So technically, that is where we all came from. I just feel jipped that I live in a country that has no real "history" or "culture" to speak of. Nothing like that of Europe and Asia.
The USA is only 229 years old. That's nothing. That's a drop in the bucket compared to everyone else.
Anyone else enjoy history/culture abroad? I love it and can't seem to get enough.

guess this is why theres an off topic section. odd topic. but i am becoming more and more versed in celtic history. being mainly scottish and irish (throw in some german for good measure) it is a personal subject. a highlight of my year is going to the scottish highland games in vista, ca. its the one day i can wear my kilt without my wife being annoyed by it. and i can get me some haggis. mmmmmmm haggis. good stuff.
