"One of the most startling revelations of moving back to the U.S. is the ubiquitous friendliness and I’m rolling around in it like a dog in fresh grass....none of which could really explain this truly awesome bit of reverse culture shock for me.
It’s not that Europeans are exactly un-friendly, especially Italians, who are in fact very polite and kind to strangers, and warm to friends and family, but I lived in Texas for 15 years before moving to Europe and being openly friendly to complete strangers was (is) deeply part of my personality,....
That's great for you.
Too bad the young people and future American generations won't be able to say the same. For the most part, they'll be left with massive choking debt, decline, turmoil and more government control and corruption.
You called me a, "Grumpy Cat"?
It's unfortunate people like you have lived this long, yet are unable to distinguish the difference between a passive minor complaint, and the real brutal unvarnished truth.
Thank you for your thoughtful perspective. It was good for me to read that this evening!
Those young people WANT exactly what they have. I speak with them regularly. They think they have nice lives. They are happy with things as they are, although they mostly want more government control and more uniform existences. They believe that the way of life we knew in the past was unfair, unjust and they do not want a return to something they never knew.
They will vote for progressives. They will vote for Hillary.
They think we are dinosaurs and look forward to our extinction, although not in a personal manner. They simply “have moved forward” (sic).
I am totally aware of the unvarnished brutal truth. I can do nothing at all about it. I will not spend whatever is left of my life in anger and mourning for what is gone and will not return.
And what are you doing to fix it, sitting in your Turd World sh*thole? Nothing. You're just flapping your gums, talking sh*t. So why the h*ll should any of us listen to a word you have to say?
"Manger dogs", let's get back to work!
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
And when one of the influential locals starts yelling “Muerte de los Americanos!” all that you loathe about this country will look much more appealing as you’re hunted by machete-bearing gangs.
"Better think outside the box, because the USA is crumbling and they have NO PLANS in having aging baby boomers around any longer the they have too.
"Get out, live on your SS in a country where the money still has buying power and enjoy your nestveggbif you had saved one."
Once again, we have another cowardly expat, too afraid to do his duty as an American and fight for his country, encouraging others to leave just when they're needed most. This makes me sick. JimRob, again, I don't presume to tell you your job, but this guy flies in the face of everything FReep stands for. Courage, loyalty, patriotism? He has none of it. He's a coward.
"Manger dogs", what do y'all think?
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Too funny, I had seen this one earlier today on just about every thread, spreading their ‘sky is falling’ doom bullcrap.
Should have know it was another expat peddling their holier than thou newfound lifestyle. Sickening.
Thanks for the heads up, I really should have know!
Oooooooooo lookie, a cyber bully calling his horde of cyber buddies to cyber bully a poster.....oooooo you are so scary....
I pity a person who has no breath to discuss a topic without being a puffed up cyber bully clown running around trying to fill his 3 ring circus with cheap entertainment....
Enjoy your fight with whoever you think you need to fight, you aren’t smart enough to pick a fight you can win...
Buzz off bozo bully...
Thank goodness we gave had so much practice in the USA with violent illegal aliens, violent ghetto blacks and Muslim terrorists...
Funny we have none of them here!
Christians here, hate gays and gay marriage, abortions are illegal here and the people here have family values....which depends on extended family support because there is no welfare here...
The savages here hate what you embrace, welfare entitkements, abortion, gay marriage and atheism...
Lmao!
That would be “whomever.”
As much as this may be a blow to your overinflated ego, you're not the first cowardly expat that I've called out for his cowardice. But what makes you "special", so to speak, is how you are encouraging others to turn chicken a** and run away, just when their country needs them most. Not only are you a loser who's disparaging his nation from the "safety" (for the time being) of a Turd World sh*thole, but you're encouraging others to do the same. Worst of all, you disparage this once and future Republic, yet aren't lifting a finger to fix the mess you helped create.
"Enjoy your fight with whoever you think you need to fight, you aren’t smart enough to pick a fight you can win..."
Can't win this fight? Hehehehehe...yeah, keep thinking that way, coward. As I said before, you're not the first cowardly scumbag my fellow "manger dogs" and I have called out on the carpet.
When the smoke clears, and good patriots like my fellow "manger dogs" and I have cleaned up the mess, don't even think of coming back. You won't be welcome. Not that you'd be able to in the first place, though...as my fellow patriot DuncanWaring alluded to earlier, once the world economy collapses, there'll be a dull, rusty, Sandinista machete waiting for you and all the other gringo outsiders who turned chicken a** and ran away from their home nation.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
And you, as a gringo, represent all of that. Who do you think they'll turn their dull machetes on WTSHTF?
Not only are you a coward, you're delusional as well. Just like the other expat chickens on FReep.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
The arrogant, chickensh!t cowards never think that thought through, do they?
That’s nice.
How many of your neighbors are willing to defend you to the death against their less-Anglophilic countrymen?
Holy cow...
The Return of AlexW... this time, he turned chickensh*t and ran away to Nicaragua???
It’s like a virus...
She is exactly right. I have lived for weeks in various countries and weeks for over 20 years in England. When I would take my son’s wife and small child to lunch in an everyday sort of restaurant, the cost was over $100 American dollars. I would go to the grocery store and you won’t find one like our big ones. We would go to a “big” one there and choices were very limited and very expensive.
If you took American products out of that store, it would be close to being bare. Our companies make the size containers for there and you won’t find a big bottle, say, of dishwashing soap – instead it is tiny and costs a lot more than one of our big bottles you buy to put at your kitchen sink. I recall a bottle of Johnson Wax. It was the only choice there and the bottle was tiny and highly expensive. I would pay for a small bag of groceries and it would cost over $100 American dollars. Plus you eat at home due to going out to eat there is very expensive.
When she would come to this country, she would buy their clothes here because they were so cheap. My grandson walked into Academy and wanted to live there. He has never seen a store that big with sporting goods. Walmart was like a whole different world to them, so big with so much in it at cheap prices.
Then, we have Caliban who shows up and wants everyone to leave this country and go to Nicaragua. He’s got a beach house – where have we heard that before – foreign country living on the beach? Here is a summary of why Caliban was us to desert our country like he did:
“Nicaragua, own a beach house and an 8 acre farm with house.”
“Better think outside the box, because the USA is crumbling and they have NO PLANS in having aging baby boomers around any longer the they have too.”
“Get out, live on your SS in a country where the money still has buying power and enjoy your nest egg if you had saved one.”
“The savages here hate what you embrace, welfare entitkements (sic), abortion, gay marriage and atheism...”
By savages, he means those like him living there – “they hate what “you” embrace” I put the “you” in quotes as he means we approve of welfare, abortion, gay marriage and atheism, because if we didn’t, we would move to Nicaragua. That is a disgusting charge to level at Freepers – if I had a zot button, that charge to Jim Robinson and the rest of us, would put Caliban away.
Caliban is a disgrace to FR. We aren’t running away like he did, we will keep trying to save our country, not desert her and we certainly wouldn’t call our conservative friends lovers of welfare, abortion, gay marriage and atheism because they live in the USA – that malevolent charge is a vicious attack on Freepers.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
I think ol’ Caliban and AlexW would get along nicely, hanging out with commies, moslems, and assorted other fun, wonderful, exciting, tolerant, peace-loving cultures.
Funny thing about cowards... they aren’t content to just do it alone. They seem to need approval, or affirmation, as if that will somehow expiate what’s going on in their minds. They can dress it up any way they want; but at the end of the day, they still ran away, and left other people holding the bag...
And every time they look in the mirror, it just reaffirms it.
I think THAT’s why these morons come out here and post their bullsh*t - hoping somebody somewhere will say “Hey... it’s okay what you did... we still love you... Do ya need a HUG?”
Sure as hell sounds like the same assclown... sign up dates are close too.
Caliban, has become zot. Telling Freepers we approved of depraved conduct if we didn’t leave this country, was the last proverbial straw. He can take his Nicaragua and ....
