I understand the 'do as the Romans do when your in Rome' but this is a bit over the edge. :shifty:

With people like this, the USA are on a slow yet steady slip towards fascism. Won't be long before name changes are obligatory as they were in Slovenia under the Italian and German occupation.

You know I thought this sounded familiar, I recollected how they gave out names at Ellis Island during the dramatic influx of immigrants.

Not really. It was pretty common all they way up through the 60's and 70's for European immigrants to change their name to something more easily pronounced by Americans. She grew up in a time where that was normal.

Whats with ll the Texas bashing? Sure she's wrong, no doubt but compare dem dumb Texans and how they all run dere governement to dem book smart liberals in Kalifornia. Oh wut? Kalifornia is bankrupt from socialist programs and gimmies for the poor. Dern, how dare red Texas not go bankrupt and corrupt like they do in blue Kalifornia!:rotfl:

I would take Texas over most rest of the country!
