Umm ... I dunno about that one so much.

And instead of being a complete fucking dick like C3PX was, I'll just quote Voltaire: "I disagree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."

Oh, thank you. I was a being a complete fucking dick while sweeney was not. A complete fucking dick for contradicting the anti-American.

And as for you not knowing about that one so much, I am sure you wouldn't. But it is one I have seen first hand in numerous occasions. It is one I have heard many non-Americans say about America, and I think it stands very true. I have no idea where you are from, or what places you have been to. But I will assume you live in the country you were born in. Maybe you have gone to other places on vacation, but if you try to live in another country you will see how hard it is. You can learn the language and make friends, but if you live there long enough you will figure out that you can never really belong. You will always be what you are. You will always be to some extent a fish out of water. You can go to a lot of countries in the world where no matter how long you stay there, the people will always identify you as "the foreigner". America being the melting pot it is, you can come here and be what you are, maybe some idiots will identify you as foreign and make fun of your culture, but for the most part you will be around people who were immigrants themselves not more than a couple of generations back. You'll be around people who are used to living around and working with people from other countries and cultures. I have had a ton of people tell me they love America because they felt welcome right after moving here, something they have never felt while living in any other country. When in Rome do as the Romans do; when in America be as you like.
