    My mother's side is entirely all the way back to the start of time.

    My father's side is mostly with a little somewhere along the way.

    but I consider myself to be
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.

    more than I'm willing to admit, plus some and somewhere down the line. Do I have any national pride towards these places? Nope. Because I'm still 100%
    "And one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, nor more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new order to things; for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies; and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new. This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries, who have the law on their side, and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have personal experience in them."

    I'm told that both of my parents' families come from yörüks -the traditional nomadic tribal Turks, that is. I'm proud to be a local of where Ataturk 's paternal lineage used to live. Nobody knows if there are very slight mix-ups but I'm an annoying :

    BTW, it's interesting to hear that Tribesman 's wife has some Turkish heritage and that in terms of Middle Asian values, SwordsMaster is a far-relative as well. We know Kazaks as a Turkish race.

    Anyway, cheers for all from around the world.

    (3/8ths)

    Then

    (2/8ths)

    Then

    (1/8th each)

    And lastly

    (1/16th each)


    Go Kaiser!

    Oh and lets not forget

    Born down in a dead man's town
    The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
    You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
    'Til you spend half your life just covering up

    [chorus:]
    Born in the U.S.A.
    Born in the U.S.A.
    Born in the U.S.A.
    Born in the U.S.A.

    I got in a little hometown jam
    And so they put a rifle in my hands
    Sent me off to Vietnam
    To go and kill the yellow man

    [chorus]

    Come back home to the refinery
    Hiring man says "Son if it was up to me"
    I go down to see the V.A. man
    He said "Son don't you understand"

    [chorus]

    I had a buddy at Khe Sahn
    Fighting off the Viet Cong
    They're still there, he's all gone
    He had a little girl in Saigon
    I got a picture of him in her arms

    Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
    Out by the gas fires of the refinery
    I'm ten years down the road
    Nowhere to run, ain't got nowhere to go

    I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A.
    Born in the U.S.A.
    I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A.
    Born in the U.S.A.

    Yeah,

    BUT!

    It's title is Born in the USA (as I was) and it's a great song. So therefore, I can use it in this case. As long as you don't read into the song and attribute it to the meaning of my post

    Oh, and last names. I have one of the most popular last names in Italy: Piazza.

    I only count 7/8ths, Capo. Now you're not hiding 1/8th of your heritage out of shame for us, are you?

    Let's see, which could that last 1/8th be?
