From what I've read in this post, and not pointing fingers... but, if you have not been to a country you're complaining about, you have no right hitting the reply button.

I think most of what is typed on here, is nothing more than some churned out second rate information about a country... it possibly comes from third party information, or some glorified media article about a specific event in that country.

Most of what I have read is pure rhetoric, most of what people say on this board, does not come from their own eyes or ears... most of what is said is made up, anything that will make their position sound better.

I've lived in the US, and I have to say, it's nothing like you see on TV, and it is nothing like what is represented on this forum. People love to hype things up, people love to make something far more grand than it actually is, this is very true with American people.

I fell in love with America the first time I went there, and it had nothing to do with their economy. Although competitive, and even though this "freedom" thing you hear about; is all blown out of proportion, the country truly has some great people and places.

I can also speak for Australia, I live here most of the time, and if it were not for the distance, most Americans would call it their second home, not for it's similarities, but for it's differences.
