Message: [QUOTE="alexd, post: 2754932, member: 46"] "Scumbag" for supporting your own heritage??? This is so sad. In the 1940's, my parents escaped the Soviets in Lithuania as kids. I had relatives deported to Siberia simply because they were teachers. I worked as a volunteer on boards of directors for groups working to raise awareness of Lithuania's plight at the hands of the USSR. When Lithuania became the first country to declare independence from the USSR in 1990, I celebrated like there was no tomorrow. And when the 2004 Olympics came around and Lithuania beat the US Pro's in hoops. You bet this "scumbag" rooted for Lithuania. "Born and raised in America with Lithuanian roots." [/QUOTE]
