The best of both worlds. A loud mouth who can drink you under the table. A polar bear, who can stand the boiling heat of a sauna, drink a cold beer and jump into a frozen lake, all while rocking out to Jimi Hendrix version of the Star Spangled Banner. Someone who gets drunk in Finland, and yells at people driving by in English. But then talks shit about people in America in Finnish. A person with true SISU.
"I'm Finnish-American"
"That's cool. I knew this Finnish guy once. But he didn't speak Finnish. Just some words his gramma taught him."
"What the hell was the point of that story?"

A fragment from a future encyclopedia article
…The American Empire appeared to be the sole major power on earth between 1990 and 2000, after the disintegration of the Soviet Empire in 1990. However by that time, the Empire had been in decline for some time – Imperial power probably peaked during the brief reign of Emperor Kennedy the Young in 1961-63. Thereafter, the power of the Empire was sapped by a ruinous proxy war against the Soviets in Vietnam which led to extensive dissent within America over the morality and purpose of the war. The symbolic power of the Empire peaked in 1969 when American astronauts successfully traveled to the Moon, landed, and returned safely. Five more visits to the moon were made, but the expeditions to the Moon and plans for even bolder exploration of the Solar System were ultimately abandoned because of the cost of the war in Vietnam. Within one generation, the accomplishments of the Moon landings seemed so incredible that an increasing number of Americans refused to believe that they had ever happened.
The most serious decline of the American empire began when George W. Bush was appointed Emperor Bush II under suspicious circumstances in 2001, after a contentious succession from Emperor Clinton I. Subsequently, the American Empire was assaulted by eastern barbarians. Ironically, the eastern barbarians gained some of their power and stature from support they had obtained from the American Empire in another proxy war against the Soviet Empire in Afghanistan twenty years before. The barbarian’s assault was a great shock to the Empire’s citizens, and the Empire reacted by getting into wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. These wars sapped the empires strength without seriously affecting the barbarians. Another effect of these wars was to drive up the cost of petroleum, which meant an end to the cheap fuel which had allowed imperial citizens to drive massive vehicles called SUVs without worrying about the consequences.
Also, these wars increased international uncertainty, driving up the cost of the raw materials that the Empire needed to survive. To pay for the ongoing wars, the Empire was forced to borrow enormous amounts of money, with much of the debt being held by the resurgent Chinese and Indian Empires. The American Empire also inadvertently weakened itself by ceasing to manufacture most items, preferring to contract out this work to China. This tended to destroy the prosperity of many American citizens (except for a few rich oligarchs called CEOs) even as it strengthened the empire’s rivals.
The accounts of the Empire’s collapse are fragmentary. It is known that an evil cult known as Wal-Mart…

An album by my favourite band green day. Released in 2004.
It is a "rock opera" and tells the story of some young kids in modern america, and says a big fuck you to politians. some fucktards believe this album made green day sellouts, but they are just trying to be cool and thinking they are the true fans because they have nimrod and dookie! well fuck you so do i! And if you arsewipes actually sat your fat asses down and listened to it you would realise it is good, maybe not as good as dookie, but still good. Green day are NOT SELLOUTS. Its not their fault people liked american idiot. They didn't know people would, they have always said they write for themselves not others. And yes, some people have only got american idiot, and you find it extremely funny to call them teenyboppers and shit, but its not their fault they were only like two went dookie was realised, and how were they to known MTV was shit before they actaully watched it. Nothing is going to change by you telling the world you don't like it! And just admit it Billie Joe is hot!

A nation of people who are originally native to what land is now America. But this also includes places like Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela, and so on.
The southern Natives were nearly and mostly destroyed after the Spanish explorers came over on boats, bringing with them deadly diseases (smallpox, scurvy ect.)
The Natives in the -what is now the United States and Canada- practically suffered the same tragedies.
There are many different tribes, each tribe has their own language, traditions, beliefs, and inhabit a certain area. Unfortunately, a lot of these things are lost. But still, some has still continued on to this day.
With heavy stereotyping and lack of education, people often misunderstand Natives. For example: Reservations aren't accompanied by brightly lit casinos. Dancing around a drum (usually at a pow-wow) is a spiritual experience, it's not silly. There are urban Natives. Virtually no Native has a "flat ass". People sacrifice so much and work hard for their families, but the idiots are responsible for the stereotypes, make this literally impossible to believe.
The Cherokee is just one Native American tribe. Arguably the most spread and most famous. A Cherokee is not a car!

1) A teeny bopper who claims to be Green Day fans solely due to the release of the album American Idiot. Play them any album track from an earlier Green Day album, even Dookie, and they will say "thats not Green Day"
2) Kids who are fed up of being called idiots for liking Green Day solely due to American Idiot, who say "but I was only 3 when Dookie came out"
1) Green Day Fan: Hey do you like Green Day?
American Idiot: Yeah I really like Boulevard of broken dreams
GRF: Here's a REAL Green Day song *puts on Welcome to Paradise*
AI: What the hell is that? It sounds like good music, but I'm used to the modern shit Green Day *head explodes*
2) American Idiot: "Don't slag me off for only liking American Idiot, I was only 2 when Dookie came out"
Green Day Fan: "But they have had other albums since then, and besides I was only 4 when Dookie came out, but when I was 16 I went out and bought it because it is highly rated. So don't give me that I'm too young bullshit"

Someone who finds it funny to make fun of citizens of the United States when, in most cases, they have never even been the the United States and judge Americans according to their mostly bigoted government.
Hmm, so if Americans are so indolent and stupid.... who the hell was the first nation on the moon? Sure we had some prior help from some German scientist but my point is not all Americans are the obtuse, cola drinking, SUV driving, forest killing arses people make them out to be.
Freaking american haters.
