meh..id rather be on Santorini.
I saw a program awhile back. It was asking workers in Italy i believe if they would like to live and work in America. Once they were told the work hrs, pay, and holiday pay arrangement (this country received 2 months paid holiday a year) their..they were shocked and thought the presenter was kidding.
They then reliesed that due to their longer lunch breaks (they even get to go home and have a proper cooked family lunch- everyday, pay, working conditions and holidays..they had it better..
My point is that we all like to think that were we live is "the best". Some people who think that have never owned a passport so have no clue on what to even base this on.
I have traveled a little bit and have no desire to go to mainland America, even on holiday. There are so many unique and different placers to travel to.
I have no dought that America was once the land of acceptance and opportunity, after WW2. Now it seems its resting on its past, intimidating other countries due to its military and economic might and ignoring its own citizens in the process.
But to say that everyone wants to live, work or visit (even to kill you) is plain wrong. That died years ago- stop living in the past.
Ya died alright in Orlando night clubs and at the Boston marathon and in San-Bernadino. Years ago say what....I will give you any odds that you want that America is still the country that those in a circumstance of despot would choose over any other.
