    Clothing!

    I wear at leat one item a day by Hilfiger, Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren, etc.
    The only trainers I own are Nike and Converse.
    My current watch is a Fossil, and my next one will be a cK.
    Had Laffy Taffys last night, YAY!
    My favoruite TV shows are American (OC, Sex and the City).
    Even my accent when speaking English, resembles American more than British for instance.

    Apart from cars American culture is highly integrated in western europe.

    .

    little of that stuff is made in America though.

    May well have been designed there etc though.

    Depends what you mean by something 'being American'

    The notion of stuff belonging solely to one country is fairly redundant now i would say........

    Profit ends in American pockets.
    Kinda like a football club - the majority might be foreigners but the roots of the club still belong to a certain country.

    Though yes, you do have a point. That's merely how I personally view it.

    Yes, but the American branded products like Nike, etc, are made in the far east. Its like Rover sticking their badge on that foreign supermini. Pointless.

    Actual MADE IN USA products (God, that looks cool on stuff :p )? I have a Made in USA propelling penicl! And my Microsoft mouse is made in Canada... near enough, I suppose. :p

    The automotive engineering and design industry in this country is strong.

    We have American language (some TV programme called M.O.M. where the trailer says 'mom's the word') and I bought some American long grain rice the other day.

    A lot of internet profits go to the States.

    my emotions, feelings belong to me...yes i use a lot of stuff that maybe came from or originated in america but these are just a bonus...the best pleasures in life come naturally...not from some country thousands of miles away so i'm not grateful of america...simple as...
