He's always like this. With all of the threads about foreigners, it would imply he is a resident of this country, although his grasp of the language speaks otherwise.

Remember, I said you could only borrow it for one week.

That was the one in the servant's quarters. I returned it and bought 4 of my own.
 
Define "rich".

I'm not independanly wealthy at all. I have a low-end "just out of college" job that pays the bills and lets me save a little bit at the end of the month. I have a 9 year old car (that I inherited, so it was free) and live in a one-bedroom apartment.

That said, I have a place that is warm and dry, the 9 year old car is a Lincoln in excellent condition, I make enough money to feed that thirsty car Premium gasoline, and I don't have to worry about having food to eat.

So while I'm far from Bill Gates (I'd need to add about 7 zeros to the end of my checking account balance to be Bill Gates), I have a nice life and I have the opportunity to rise in the workplace. This is a great country with great opportunity. I believe that anyone who is willing to work to have the same opportunities that I've had should have a chance at it.

"poor" people in america are the ones that have:
used cars
only have 1 game console
basic cable
only 1 bedroom apartments


people in 3rd world countries have:

a donkey if they are rich, otherwise they walk
games? they play soccer with a dog skull
tv? they don't have electricity
live in cardboard boxes or worse

Fixed.
 
You are by far the dumbest person on ATOT. Stop spewing your crap and move out already.

And yes America is rich, we have the ability to feed every person on this planet, but we choose not to.
 
Being poor in America is like being middle class or better in a 3rd world country.

A poor person in America has an apartment with running water and electricity. In the third world they are lucky to have a roof over their heads.

What kind of "bills" are you talking about? The only people I know that have trouble with their bills A. don't know how to handle money B. buy more than what they make and put it on credit cards C. set their standard of living far higher than what they should - multiple new cars, too big of apartments, the most expensive cable plan, every room has an air conditioner, eat out everynight, etc.

This world is getting smaller everyday, I can barely breathe anymore.

Based on this statement, you probably live in the city. The world doesn't revolve around your city - try visiting some place that isn't directly connected to a highway, you'll realize how much space we really have.

Solution? why don't we move out while they move in? they will get pissed and become really lonely all by themself, lol.

Sounds like a plan. Let us know how that goes! 😉
 
Seemsl like RobCur just starts these BS threads then waits for us to abuse him. He's like the political skywalker

You make it sound like we (the US) hate the world. Do we not provide the greatest amount humanitarian aid to others?
 
"Most 3rd world country would risk their life to come here. 99 percent of them live in poverty"
"most of us can barely pay bills anymore"
"We must put a stop to this, its like a disease bringing down the standard of living for the majority."
"china is communism still today; it's very evil."

I take it you've never attended any history or English grammar classes.
BTW, do you have any idea what communism means?

In case this was a pathetic attempt at a parody thread, ignore my post.
 
Ummm... 99% of US (I'm foreign) live in poverty??? so I guess this is why my family could afford to pay close to $10000 every semester to go to a PUBLIC university in Houston (very cheap tuition for residents)?? to pay for rent, bills, living expenses, etc??
We're bringing down the standard of living??? hmmm.... I think americans who think like you lower the US' collective IQ.
