4th of July. What is your purpose?
If you ask most any “American” what his or her nationality is, s/he would probably tell you German, Irish, Japanese, etc.

Interesting. If this is the case, what is their existence here in the United States of America?

What is your existence here?


EDIT: Grammar, and Here is a hint...

The Communists are further reproached with desiring to abolish countries and nationality.
The working men have no country.

Yes, a tad bit ambiguous. Anyhow, I consider myself Norsk and Swedish.

Simply, what is your purpose here in America if you think you are, for example, a German?

Not too much complicated about that, is there?

Ethnic is more in-line with the nationalities I speak of.

American is closer, but not quite right.

Purpose and existence aren't the same thing.

I'm of German/Irish ancestry, my existence is NOT by choice, and my purpose is to save all sentient beings.

Nice, Reece. That is correct. We are getting a bit closer here. Citizenship and nationality are linked, but not synonymous.

Re: 4th of July. What is your purpose?
I will never celebrate the 4th of July because I don't buy into any nonsense that we are free or independent. Our pathetic Gov't makes sure of that.

I'll celebrate the day we re-gain what our forefathers gave us and that was a REPUBLIC.

My purpose? TRUTH TO SET US ALL FREE.
