“And THIS is why you are so disliked here.
You add NOTHING to the discussion, only snarky pokes
as if you are somehow more enlightened and therefore ‘better’ than anyone LEFT here in these United States WILLING to fight for a better future.”

Well, it is obvious that I am hated by the dogs who do not have the imagination or ability to run their own lives, and despise those of us that do. That is the meaning of the phrase. I certainly do not belittle any of you. You live the lives that you have chosen, but you humiliate yourselves by castigating those of us that are happy with ours.
I am certainly not the only Expat American on here. I have communications with many, and many more asking for information on international living.
What I would like is for you and the rest of those that resent my traveling explain to me what YOU are doing to fix America, other then castigating those of us that live our own lives. I know the real answer. You are not doing squat, other then grousing at those of us that do LIVE our lives.
You are angry because you know there is nothing that you can do, short of starting another civil war. That is why I call you “dogs in a manger”, or maybe you prefer a USSA that is like the old USSR.
They denied citizens the right to leave, and shot those that tried. I know much about it, as I lived in formerly Communist central Europe before moving here.
I have seen the gun ramps where soldiers shot those that tried to swim the Danube over to Austria. Is that what you want?
My final word to you...Get a life, live it and love it.
You gave up and left years ago - we didn’t, so butt out. Go post on a Philippine Government website.
Nobody’s begrudging you the fact that you turned and ran; check the postings of other FReepers in the Phillipines - you’ll see that we leave them alone.
You, on the other hand, are essentially a back-seat driver; nobody likes them.
A bit thick headed are you? Honestly, how about you tell me all the ways I sit here and bitch about my country all the while doing nothing, as you stated.
I don’t give a rats butt where you live, it’s your incessant pointing of your boney old finger that is tiring and useless here.
You remind me of a guy who sits on his boat watching another one sink. Smugly saying they should have gotten a better boat instead of getting off your a** to help them from drowning.
My 90 year Father, WWII Vet has more intelligence and dignity in his pinky finger than all the nonsense you post here. He imparts valuable knowledge to those around him, friends and strangers alike. That is what strength and honor looks like.
If your life is going great, I am happy for you, truly.
I have asked you in the past what your purpose is in coming here instead of living your life in the paradise you found?
To taunt? To annoy? To boast?
Your posts are nothing more that those of a man with an ego who understands little of the human condition. Even after having lived, as you say, under communism, you’d rather poke instead of offering sage wisdom. As I understand it, you are not a spring chicken. Instead you choose to annoy people you know nothing about. Unless you have evidence of who you are calling dogs here, or cowards which is what I’m reading between the lines, I believe you will receive the push back you are now protesting.
I hold zero ‘resentment’ for your choice to exit. How very coy of you to put words in my mouth. As for your query of ‘evidence’ of what I or others are doing, guess what pal, IF you were here I would share it all with you, but see you are so very far away and you can’t/won’t help so I can’t take the time and energy to inform you on the many things I’ve chosen to do for what I believe in. Kinda like the kool aid drinkers, not much worth in trying to explain something as foreign to them as personal freedom for all, and what it takes.

We're comparative moments away from shit or get off the pot (imo) and those of us that don't move easily, quickly nor well are more in the way than an asset.
If the feds hadn't disarmed me, and you talked to me like you talk to Alex, I'd be hard pressed not to cap your asses
