    Where is this perfect place you live in?

    A place doesn’t have to be perfect to be a better choice for someone than another place. What an overprotective strawman. Other people are allowed to be happy they live someplace else.

    If I could pick up my job and family and do a cut and paste into a country that’s got socialized healthcare, affordable education, and less gun violence, with no fallout from doing so, I’d do it tomorrow.

      I concede I was overtly dramatic, and you, of course, have a point.

      I did what you described for s bit, and it was amazing. I just think it’s silly when people write stuff like the above without knowing much about the U.S. other than what they read online.

      I remember when I visited Germany for the very first time as a very young, very inexperienced individual decades ago. I was very afraid of what I was about to face. I read about neo-nazism, anti-immigration policies, everything being mad expensive, etc, etc. And wbat do you know - Germany turned out to be alright.

      I still want to know where OP lives, though.

        Fair enough, and I was still within the depths of fresh out of bed grumpiness in my reply. Apologies for that! 🙂

          Fait enough.

          But where do you live, though?

              You don’t. Your secrecy and comment history leads me to believe that you come from (or fled) an oppressive regime, though. I get it.
