We really should not have entered WW1. If we hadn't the brits, french and germans would have negotiated an end to the war and Hitler would not have had fertile ground. By entering WW1 and forcing the defeat of Germany, we merely gave 20 years of intermission to the Great War.

I'll bet we have a lot more in common with each other than we do with the rest of the world.

That is so true & what a war it was (WW2).

Actually most Mexicans are descended from native tribes with very little admixture of European genes. The expressions Hispanic and Latino get me for this reason, most are neither 'Hispanic' or 'Latino' except in language.

Good call on the Visigoths, don't forget the Moors, Berbers and Arabs who invaded and held sway over most of the Iberian Peninsula for over 700 years. You know they were swimming in the local gene pool, too.

If they want to visit "down Oyndah" then they would but they don't. lol I think Kate is pushing for a visit to CA. She wants to meet celebrities and experience the California lifestyle, albeit the elitist lifestyle.

Well yes, you do accept knighthoods from British politicians which the Canadians cannot accept
