Sounds to me like someone is just a little bit jealous of Americans to me..could this really be true???Its funny you very seldom see people who want give up there US citizenship,but we always have our hands full with people wanting to live in the USA and become a citizen. I guess I am just part of the propaganda machine.Oh well,I will just come right out and say that your comments were very offensive to me. I did not see anything humorous about your rant,but you have the right to say them no matter how foolish and imature and untrue your statements.
Yeah well as an Englishman living in America I have a somewhat unique perspective on the issue. People are bashed for saying un-American things. You are made to feel an outcast or stupid because you simply cannot understand how some people can be so arrogant, naive and blind to events in the rest of the world.
Also I am jealous. Americans have access to more resources than almost the rest of the world put together AND they are squandering them. My uncle who is out in Indianna tells me they have dozens of capped oil wells there. Opec is making damn sure we bleed the rest of the world dry before they use the precious home reserves. God forbid they should switch to re-useable resources or have cars which are lean-burning.
Nope, we have 4L chevvy's and 12mpg here. Why? Because we can!
People want to live here because of the richness. Myself included. If the bubble bursts I'll be out of here though. Back to a place with a little culture. As long as it hasn't become the 51st state.........
