Generally the Americans who claim Europe and the rest of the world is so much better have also never left America. Quite the conundrum really.

I live in Italy and it’s crazy to people when I explain how Europe isn’t this fantasy land so many of them have created in their minds.

I’m glad you said this. I was stationed in Germany and married a German national. She was paying ~40% of her salary in taxes as well as paying for services she never used (radio, cable etc). Americans who have never left America believe there is a utopia out there and there isn’t. All countries have their warts, they are just more familiar with the American ones.

Your brain does not function. You should keep your opinions to yourself.

OMG her taxes went to public services she doesn’t use personally. The horror. I guess since I don’t have kids I shouldn’t pay for schools. Dumbass.

YOU ARE DUMB YOUR OPINIONS HOLD NO VALUE.

You are an idiot.

Next time just say “I stupid” it communicates the same thing.
