Where did we grow up?
I grew up in an Edwardian house right next to the city center. I remember walking to the city or taking the tram to go to school and the shops.

Grew up in a small city (Skopje), then moved to a large one (Melbourne) at the age of 10. Adjusted quite easily.

Welp... from 1983 until late 1995, I lived in Sarajevo. For about 4 months in 1995, I lived in Croatia, first in Promajna (tiny place outside of Makarska) where I had some family and then I briefly moved to Omish to be closer to Split. After that I moved to Boston where I am currently am.
Although I've been in Boston for so long and adjusted just fine.. I still feel like this place can never be my true home. I only feel at peace when I'm in Sarajevo.

Hey, where the f**k are you from Yank? We have the Grand Canyon buddy, watch what you are saying. I'm not hating on anything but the intense humidity you guys have, other than that, I dig Arizona. I was there few years back for the AVN convention. I live in Boston, Massachusetts and we dont' consider ourselves Yanks here... thats for those bastards from New York.

Lived the first 10 years of my life in Tirana, Albania and moved to NYC. I love both cities but I have to admit, NYC is a special place... its not like any other place in America... or any place in the world for that matter. It should be its own country... ;D

It should be its own country... ;D It almost was... during the war with the Brits, New York was one of the only states that didn't vote to go into the war with the Brits while other colonies all jumped in. I think even Pennsylvania stayed neutral along with NY. At that time calling yourself 'American' was almost unheard of. People did call New York their country at that time, same goes for other early states. The HBO short series 'John Adams' really paints a good picture of what it was like when early American states opted to tell the British to fuck off and die.

That's a DOPE f**kin show^ Amen. Thomas Jefferson was the best. "I would like nothing more than to see the island of Britain go completely under water" That quote was killer.

Jefferson for all his genius was more wrong than anyone else. Read his "Notes on the State of Virginia." Ridiculous. He saw the country as an agrarian republic that needed to expand to the west while sympathizing early on with the French. I am more in line with Hamilton who saw the country as an urban and commercial republic that could benefit from trade with the British.

The whole point of telling the Brits to screw was because of the heavy taxes the states had to pay to Britain.

Actually the taxes weren't high at all compared to what the people of Britain had to pay. It's just that they had to pay them without any representation. Hamilton supported the war, but I'm talking about after the war where they started to form their own versions of republicanism. Benjamin Rush, Webster, etc.
