Regarding all of the anti-American smack talk:
It's all true. Yup. Every little bit of it.
The thing is...
...it's no better anywhere else. Your country might not be stupid, fat, and illiterate, but I guarantee there are things going on there that the rest of the world would be totally justified in making fun of. The only thing that any of us can do is to realize that all switching countries does is trade one set of problems and stereotypes for another, and try to have a sense of humor about it.
I love the fact that I'm personally far below the accepted 'poverty level' in the USA, but I still have a higher standard of living than a good chunk of the rest of the world and enough money that I can donate to Elements because I like it. I'm not too fond of my government, my nation's reputation, or the fact that I personally weigh in just over 125 kilograms (yes, I can use the Metric System), but hey -- no matter where you go, you win some, you lose some.
