Is it wrong that I take personal pride in Ben being American?!

There is also another story that Ben was born in Germany.
Here is the source in Japanese:

It also does say that his mother is from the States, along with Steven, his father.

Well, both of my parents are from Taiwan, but my mum moved to Japan when she was a year old and she did not learn any Chinese. I first learned how to speak Japanese and I only learned how to speak Chinese a year and a half ago.Yorkie wrote:Dear Lordlacrymosa2 wrote:There is also another story that Ben was born in Germany.

Thank you, much appreciated, and as you said ONLY IF YOU HAVE THE TIME!!!!! Don't waste precious moments that you need!
I don't know about his mother but I can find out.Yorkie wrote:Tom, is Ben's mum American also? I thought that she was probably British and therefore Ben is probably a dual national with both British and American nationality.TEB wrote:Aye, the Phillip family are Americans.

I am not really sure about this story. My source on Ben's American citizenship got his information right from Mr. Phillips, Ben's father. But, I will ask around.
Absolutely not!!!! I am quite proud.Is it wrong that I take personal pride in Ben being American?!

As long as they don't become male miley cyrus' we'll be good!!!! I'm not a fan of Miley, maybe except for "The Climb" I do feel bad for the girl though, all these people behind her but none are truly friends...
