We have lived for extended periods in many different countries and yes...there are those who see you as a stereotype...but if you stay in a place long enough they actually see who YOU ARE...which is not where you come from but who YOU ARE.

There are "ugly American's" out there BUT most people that we interact with actually do see a difference between our fucked up government and actual individuals.

The world is a big place and borders are artificial and were created by people of power to KEEP that power.

We are all citizens of the earth and as such can travel and live wherever we have the desire (and ability) to do so.

My point WAS that American's are some of the most brainwashed people on the planet...

Simple as that. It is a BIG world. Enjoy your 80 years on this planet and don't take it to seriously.

Peace
