I just realized something.

[darkangel218]

I shouldn't post anything about my childhood on DU.

Sorry. Erased and it won't happen again.

1. You do know how to raise curiosity. nt

[hrmjustin]

2. Hugs my friend.

[darkangel218]

4. I shared something very personal and emotional which means a lot to me

Ans I get a response questioning me, and telling me that they find it "strange" and basically how come I was so infatuated with US at that age.

Its ok, I won't go there again.

8. Some folks here just love to go around

pissing in everyones cherios. They're miserable people and enjoy making others miserable too.

Ignore them, they're sad and set in their ways.

9. +1

[hrmjustin]

18. Well you always have a friend in me.

[Cleita]

3. Actually, you should keep personal information sort of

general for your own safety. There are too many sickos out there even in cyberspace.

[darkangel218]

5. I was only sharing how i felt about US growing up overseas.

And how we should appreciate what we have.

[Cleita]

6. That's fine. Just keep it general and not too specific.

I grew up in a foreign country too, but have been removed from that experience by half a century so I can talk more freely about it here.

[Cleita]

7. Also, I don't mean to lecture you.

It seems whatever it was it struck a deep emotion with you.

[darkangel218]

10. Yes it ua emotional.

How can it not be? In my heart I always belonged here. Even as a lil girl. Call it esoteric, or just mundane. I have always dreamed of living here. No one could understand it.

11. People were probably upset because we are not the best in the world

They would probably appreciate the Nordic countries - and so would I.

The Nordic countries are probably the best-governed in the world

13. So youre saying i would be accepted had i been born in North as oppose to East of Europe??

What the fuck ever.

[Lifelong Dem]

14. I'm saying people complain here in the states

Just as you complained as a child overseas.

[darkangel218]

15. I didnt complain, and that wasnt my message.

But like I saId, what the fuck ever. Hopefully you will get someday to see only nordics migrating here.

[TBF]

16. It's not that we want nordics to come here -

it is that we want to go there!

I didn't see the other thread so I really can't comment. I hope this country has lived up to your expectations. When I was growing up here I couldn't imagine living in another country. Now I would really love that opportunity (obviously depending upon the country). But this is a much different place than it was in the 1970s.

[Lifelong Dem]

17. Who said anything about Nordics migrating

They have it made over there. If we were only so lucky.
