Thanks! Gee, I've read & heard that Yemen is not a good travel destination, but now I'm definitely going to make sure.

I've enjoyed living in the South, New England, the Midwest and the east coast. I found something I like in each of those places.
Adapting and living almost anywhere(within reason) is not that hard. You just have to make an effort. It requires you don’t have an attitude of moral superiority like the OP does.

Doing so can give you some perspective on the US and help you more easily see the good and the bad in this country And prove or disprove your assumptions.

I even encourage you to visit somewhere abroad that you think you might not like just to see if what you been told about that place is true.
Take your own advice. Visit Kabul, or Mogadishu.

I go 2 or 3 times a month.
shite hole. Of course there are nice areas but the cities suck for the most part.
Crowded. Trash everywhere. Bad roads. Homeless. Junk yard campers being used for housing.
It’s gross.

The only time I have left the US was over the border to Juarez when I was covering Alabama in the 1986 Sun Bowl, and when I got back I wanted to kiss the dirt and sing “God Bless America.”
But my wife who was a military brat lived out in the country in England, not in London, when her father was stationed there, and also visited places like Austria and Switzerland. I could see myself going there and enjoying it.
I posted this in another thread though where someone wanted to throw the West Coast out of the US. My wife and I visit relatives 40 miles above Seattle in Snohomish County, Washington, every year and it’s gorgeous country with scrumptious seafood that hasn’t been out of the water long; fantastic wine and (especially) ciders; churches (Christian ones) all over the place; and good, friendly, salt of the earth people who are very welcoming and have never given us guff about our Southern accents and have never mentioned politics to us. I would have a place up there in a heartbeat.
Our only experience with Seattle proper is flying in, getting the rental car and getting north as quickly as we can then reversing the process when it’s time to go home.
On our first visit, I actually asked the guy at the fish and chips shop next to our hotel … trust me, this ain’t Captain D’s or Long John Silver’s … if we should go check out Seattle. He replied, “Do you have a specific reason to go?” When I told him not really, he said, “Don’t.”

The only thing that doesn’t suck? The weather.
i have no uses for beaches but when i was in SF last August escaping Texas heat, there was a brief moment of "i get it."
then i smelled weed again for the 100th time and stepped over another homeless person and snapped back to reality.

Says the leftist. If you’re happy in your commie utopia in California so be it. Leave the rest of us out of it.

not at all like the Europeans in France, Britain, and Spain who look down on and hate on America.
This isn’t true. I’ve been to France three times, Bicycled around Spain’s Costa Brava for a week and spent time in Madrid, and I spend about five weeks per year in England where I have a house. I’ve been well received in all of those places.
Some Americans behave like assholes, and of course, people don’t like them. Then other Americans have inferiority complexes and think everyone is looking down their noses at them. Both of these types will come back with bad tales to tell, but the problem is often just them. Of course, some Europeans, and some Brits, are actually assholes, too.

I visited Japan instead recently and spend a bit of time there.
Then I flew straight from Tokyo to Atlanta. Have you ever left a place like Japan and then been dropped into Atlanta, Georgia and its enriched culture?

I have ready plenty of your posts on this board. Why you feel the need to come here and act high and mighty is beyond me, but that’s just how you Soros-loving fricks are I guess.

I love it when they do that. Disagree with them on one thing and you are a commie POS.

I lived there for 10 years, does that count?
I'll never move back.
