    there are reasons why people are or are trying to immigrate here in droves

    If you compare yourself to third-world countries you always come out looking good. “America Bad” can definitely get circlejerky though, no denying that

      No, we have a lot of Germans, Canadians, French, Ukrainians, Australians, Brits, etc here. People from all over. I’m also an immigrant and a naturalized US citizen from a “first world” country. Now why would that be? Hmmm…

      Anyway happy 4th, gonna go blow up my fingers and eat like a dozen hot dogs with the fellas. Don’t stay online too long, it’s not good for the melon.

        I have a friend who moved to Germany and now they want to come back to the USA. Grass is always greener…
