spruce112358, you are disagreeing with Draxus's opinion about where he would rather live. Get a grip.

Just don't confuse that with the right or need to patronize, ridicule or insult others.

And please refrain from using Danish chessplayers for your forum name when your perspective is so self centered and your outlook so narrow.
I have a big dog. He has good points and bad. When he's bad i kick his Azz, but if the neighbor down the street kicks my dog i'm going to rip the neighbors changs off. Don't... kick.... My.... Dog!

Pretty funny to me….. You can find morons anywhere. From my perspective, though, I could care less since I live in the best place on Earth and could give a crap less about the rest of the world. It is quite apparent from the "America haters" that post on here all day (as if they had no life) that the reason they are so down on America is because of sheer jealousy. It's not our fault your country sucks.
See that's the kind of attitude that generates loathing towards Americans from the rest of the world. American is a fine place to live, especially New England. But I've found other parts of the world to be at least equal and in some ways better in quality of life and freedom provided your willing to live without 258 useless cable TV channels.

Well lady, what you do with your dog is realy your own business.

But remember that if your dog wanders around by it self pissing on other peoples lawn then they may choose to kick it. Just be glad he's not an exchange student then he might be shot.

You don't get it. I'll kick my dog if he pisses on your lawn. Bring on the iron!

Precisely.

Saying that you prefer to live in a country other than America doesn't equate to a hatred of America at all.

No country is perfect - I know NZ isn't; but I wouldn't automatically think that someone who points out its shortcomings hates or is jealous of the place.

That would be excessively paranoid and insecure. 🙂

Exactly! The rest of the world isn't that bad, and personally, I don't even watch TV. I have lived outside of the US and it is very nice.

That was Zeeland.

'Zealand' was always 'Zealand' - which, in the local language means: Hold on to that sheep.

In 1904, we shipped all of our undesirables (reprobates, conservatives and wombat shaggers) to this forbidding land mass off our west coast and called it Australia (or, 'plop'😉 and renamed ourselves New Zealand.

Ha! Hold on to that sheep! Is it or is it not true that you people have sex
with sheep by putting their hind legs in your rubber boots and try to force the sheep over a cliff. Fess up!

The top US ambassador to France doesn't speak French.

Although only examples, they are matters which don't generally happen in developed countries.
