When he starts going on about the American Civil War, I remember our American friends being like "really?? For real??! I didn't know that!" So yeah, this whole, "you aren't American so you can't talk about shit" is just the flip side of the Freeper coin. It's an embarrassment. They sound just like Freepers who think that Obama should have been ineligible because he spent some of his childhood years in Indonesia. I mean, they sound JUST LIKE these imbeciles.
I have a friend here born and raised in Alabama but has been in Australia for ten years. Her mother died of breast cancer when she was young and she's got two younger sisters, one of whom has been recently diagnosed. When ACA was passed, she practically wept because it meant that her sister would be covered for the first time in years. I dare ANYONE to tell my friend that she shouldn't be happy or talk about ACA.
The fact that some people here find it so damned unusual that Americans travel the world is one of the many, many reasons I find them so moronic. The entire world is full of Americans that have traveled and live in other places. Some do it for 3 years. Some five. Some 20. But the idea that somehow you stop caring about your homeland when your entire family is there or even when you're still paying taxes is something I think is a surefired way to show how narrow and ignorant a person is. One of the 4 gillion reasons their "advice" on how to run the US government winds up in the trash.
Let me get my church fan because you have TRULY just broken it down.
