Puerto Rican boxers are really Americans

[ßringer]

all americans come from europe.......

Yes. But this is something totally different that blackirish is getting at. Europe no longer owns America, hasn't for over 200 years. Whereas Puerto Rico is a territory that is, on record, as I type this, owned by the United States of America.

All citizens born in Puerto Rico are officially recognized as citizens of the United States of America.

Puerto Rico is classified by the U.S. government as an independent taxation authority by mutual agreement with the U.S. Congress. Contrary to common misconception, residents of Puerto Rico pay some U.S. federal taxes: import/export taxes, federal commodity taxes, social security taxes, etc. Most residents do not pay federal income tax but pay federal payroll taxes (Social Security and Medicare), and Puerto Rico income taxes. But federal employees, or those who do business with the federal government, Puerto Rico-based corporations that intend to send funds to the U.S. and others also pay federal income taxes.

People here need to get over all this racial ****. Seriously.

its obviously not racial, its nationalistic.

all americans come from europe.......

correct, other than Native Americans. that has nothing to do with this, because the USA is a seperate country.
Puerto Rico is part of the USA.
as are the US ****** Islands.

And not to0 be disrespectfull, most people here want to be independent as soon as possible!!!!!!!

sorry, but thats not going to happen, friend. If Puerto Rico decided tomorrow that they would publically stop acknowledging the President of the United States as their Head of State, what do you think would happen?

dunno why you wouldnt want to be part of the United States...yall have a sweet deal right now, being a Commonwealth.

Personally, I view it as it's own Country as well. I just like stirring up **** from time to time, like I did with this subject under my TucanMcGinty account.

I like pissing off all the racial groups on here, the Pinoys would be my favorite. But nothing gets quite the response that "we own you" does.

But I wouldn't want to "own" the Pinoys, Puerto Rico has a much greater history in producing great boxing Champions. There's really no comparison.

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

Independent? You my boy and all, but do you mean like "PIP independent" if so this isn't going to happen. I see PR becoming a state very soon.

No papi. La gente, sabe que somos explotados, por EU. Nosotros porducimos la mayor cantidad de soldados que otro estado. Tenemos mas tiedas Americanas que otro estado por pie Cuadrado. Somos el punto estrategico mas grade de America , Militar y commercialmente. Tenemos el radio telescopio mas grabnde de el mundo. La mayoria de las pastillas usadas hoy dia en EU, fiueron experimentadas en con nosotros desde los años 30. Las pastillas anticonceptivas fueron provadas con nuestras mujeres, provaron el aggente naranja el el yuneque.

PR nesecita ser indepediente papa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ßringer]

Now if only I could figure out a way to start claiming two of my favorite fighters of all time : Marco Antonio Barrera and Juan Manuel Marquez.......

[The Gambler1981]

I like the Rums of Puerto Rico, I feel I can trust their quality. With other rum producing caribean nations, who knows what they put in that ****.

[Kelly Robinson]

If PR becomes a state will they still be considered Latinos and speak Spanish?

All the Puerto Ricans who want join my soical group the "The Boricua Dominion" a spoof of the Dominican Dominion.
