Hah you guys are stupid. I live in the South for 5 years now, and i know how things are. EVERY single immigrant that comes here, and is under 21 will tell you that this sh1thole state makes you bored to death. Thats why we try to work hard and save enough money to go back every summer. Obviously you haven't lived outside this country so dont argue.

Not to mention, i know over 40 immigrant families that live here, they say the same thing. We just came here for work. But still, my point is, ALL you have here is work, nothing else.

The way this place is "built" is so pathetic. Highways, trees, plazas, fast food. If i go outside right now, all i see are trees, a street, and there's a plaza about 3 miles down.

Yes, European women are hot.

then move out of the city and into the burbs, or to another city, or to another state. the US is so vast, that well, you can't judge the whole by one slum. cuz um, most of the country is beautiful. but if you look hard to find the problems, thats all you will see. thats how it is, everywhere. you can find plenty of crummyness in France, in Britain, in Germany, in Greece, Italty, Netherlands, Belgium, Scotland, and even in Luxembourg.

your list is pathetic and shows you haven't lived anywhere in the US outside of your town.

if I look outside my house, all I see are other houses and the street I live on. Down the street there is a park. From my house I can't walk to a cafe, sure. But there are cafes. If I moved downtown, I could do that. But see, American cities are composed of housing zones, and commercial zones. The typical european city in a movie, or the one you described, are like New York City, where its apartments and the commercial zone mixed together. If you want to live in an apartment, then that kind of life is available in any city for the most part.
and work = life
i don't know what else you want to think life is. you gotta work to pay the bills to live. unless you want to be a bum on the street, then you dont have to work. but you cant get in anywhere or buy things because you have no job. thus no life still. welcome to life.

If you read carefully, you will see i am not talking about all US. As i said before, i hear the North is great. I'm talking about Southern states.

I like Florida just fine. Orlando is very lively.

But is there a landslide of them compared to American girls? Yeah, sure. You can't spend some time in some crap ass town in Alabama and let it speak for the rest of the country.

How do you know he spent time in Alabama? :laugh:

The Godfather forgot to mention the lack of sidewalks and roads with no shoulders.

Oh Yea!! The ditches are a real PITA to avoid when riding a mountain bike to the nearest shopping center. :laugh:

It IS NOT 10 miles to the nearest store ... it is 3 miles.

I live near a town of about 200,000 and their idea of public transportation is a small fleet of mini-busses that only run a few routes. A town of 80,000 here that borders the "big" town has NO public transportation.

Our idea of fun is either going to the local Super Wal-Mart or going out to some field for some late-night tipping. :laugh:

The clubs suck here and I would give my left nut for a club here to play some good European Dance music instead of that cRap they call music.

There ARE SOME good-looking WHITE women here ... The only problem is that MOST of them are dating BLACK men.

There ARE a lot of fat people here. :laugh: My Russian wife said they all looked like pigs with big heads and little beady eyes. :laugh: She hated where I lived SOOOO much that she went back to Russia.

Now you know why Americans have to have such big cars ( trucks ): so there is enough room for their big fat asses.

If WE want to go to a cafe, WE go to a large bookstore. :laugh:

So. Joey the Bully picks on Billy the Wimp. Billy the Wimp gets pissed off and kicks the ass of Joey the Bully. Joey the Bully's parents sue the crap out of Billy the Wimp's parents ... AHHHH! AMERICA

FROM an 18-year ALABAMA resident.

Is that what you tell yourself? Your wife left Alabama, not you? I don't know why but that made me laugh.

OK Godfather. I'm gonna pick on you a bit. :laugh:

You MUST be from MEXICO 'cause those are the ONLY immigrants I have seen here. :laugh:

Believe it or not she was homesick. We travelled A LOT and visited the North and West. She wanted to live everywhere but where I lived. At the time I was locked into a house I bought from my brother and couldn't just pick up and go. My friend is married to a Russian woman and is having some of the VERY SAME problems keeping her happy. They travel a great deal as he has a bit more free change to travel a lot.

You can't prove me wrong about the South so you try to flame me with links. Go ahead, link all the hell you want. Yeah i'm 16. And i still say the south is full of sh1t. Apparently, age matters here, since 18-21 year old immigrants seem to say the same thing i do.

being 16 really limits your choices.

frankly, i'd rather not be living stacked right on top of everyone else like people in europe are. ok, i live in an apartment at the moment, but it is 25% larger than the average european household's place.

nothing quite like being a stranger in a strange land, though. sorry you're not having a good time.

edit: and no on is alright with emos.

edit2: teenagers are teenagers everywhere. just because we have more money kids are more likely to be spoiled, but you go where there isn't any money here and i guarantee it's just like being back in poor old sinking ship europe.

 

[slpaulson]

I think you're more describing rural vs urban living more than North vs South.

To be honest, you sound like an emo baby yourself with all your pissing and moaning.

And? I allready said that the standart of living here is higher, but you got nothing to do with your time exept work here. So for a teenager like me, this place blows ass. Even if i was 18, same sh1t.

 

[The Godfather]

How is "no one" allright with EMOs? Clealy the parents that allow it are.. Fukin liberals "save the whales" my ass bullsh1t. "Let my kid make his own mistakes", freaking suing their relatives on Judge Judy and filing lawsuits over their neighbor's tree leaning over their yard.

go outside.

 

[Kilgor]

1) You got nowhere to go all day, all you have are malls and movies.
Use your imagination go Hiking or Fishing try some outdoor activities.

2) You need a car to go everywhere, no cafe's, no living people outside walking, all you see are highways.
Try a bike or walking. Are you saying there are dead people walking around where you live?

3) Everything is 10 miles apart.
Open space is a good thing.

4) If you get in a fight in school it fuks up your whole life. You get sued, medical bills, record, colleges look at it etc.. Even if it was self protection.
Fighting is a bad thing in school, you're supposed to learn in school not fight. Fight after school in some of the open space

5) Everyone is allright with EMOs etc..
Don't know what an EMO is, but live and let live.

6) Lots of fat people.
Hug'em fat people are supposed to be a jolly bunch.

7) Everyone is fake as hell.
Why do you care?

8) Yes, good pay, lots of work, but yet.. no life.
Most people have to work, Your parents work hard so you can hang around and sulk while projecting your teen angst at the fat people and zombies.

Hiking? Need a car for that.. plus i'm not 12. Biking? Where? On this small ass street over here? Done it, not very exciting.

I work as well, and i respect everything my parents do for me and i know what they go through.

So you prefer Europe but you dislike liberals?

Does not compute.

Goths hate everything except themselves, and think that they're superior to everyone. Emos hate everything including themselves, which they hate the most.

You do not need a car to go hiking, and even in Suburbia there are plenty of trails and roads to ride a bike on.

I find it funny that you bash Alabama and Georgia so hard. I worked with about 120 immigrants from Bulgaria, Turkey, Poland, Colombia, and a few other European Countries this past summer. Almost all of them wanted to stay in the US -- even in Alabama.

Sure, it is very different if you are *used* to Europe. I, for one, love Europe. I could even see myself living there, but my home is Birmingham, Alabama.

I've been to a lot of countries, and almost all of the 50 states. Sure, there are tons of different cultures, ways of thinking, food, etc. However, pretty much anyone is always going to prefer what they grew up with -- for most individuals at least. I've no allusions. I know there are uneducated and ignorant people here. I don't have statistics to prove if they are any more or any less here than anywhere else in the world. I do know, however, that my State currently has a great economy, cheap cost of living, several major Urban areas (Birmingham is really growing and is mainly White Collar now), easy access to beaches, lakes, airport, trains, and it also is where I was born.

Sure, I wouldn't mind living in Germany for several months -- I actually travel quite a bit. I don't see myself settling down in another state right now. I thought a year ago that I wanted to move out of the US, but it was just the travel bug.

Anyway, you are 16, so you know what that means? Your opinion is bogus, short-sighted, and totally asinine. Trust me. Everyone's opinion at 16 is labeled -- and should be labeled -- with that moniker. Wait until you age some, and you will realize how ignorant and short-sighted you were. I sure did, and I can't think of a friend or relative that didn't as well.

You don't know *anything* at 16, and NO you are NOT different. Every pseudo-intellectual 16 year old says that. They are all wrong. Oh, and I'm glad you don't have a car. 16 year old drivers are horrible. Oh, and NO there are NO 16 year olds that are good drivers.
