So today was my big day
-
And where was the insult? I was stating my opinion. Now on the other hand telling someone to "go to hell" can not be interpreted as anything more than an insult to the person it was directed at, not an opinion.

You asking the new American why he would want to live here and insulting the country is an insult dressed up as an opinion, a lousy one too. I don't care for you smart ass remarks.

No, I asked why he chose to become a citizen, not why he wanted to live here. He was already living here.

Again, where was the insult? I only said I was ashamed of the way the US treats others in the world. Why is my shame insulting to you?

Yes, the King of England didn't care for the remarks of Jefferson, Franklin, Paine, and others, but the Declaration of Independence was signed anyway and you can see where that lead.

I mean no offense, but why would you want, or need, to be a US Citizen? As one myself, I'm ashamed of this country and the way we (in general) treat the rest of the world. BTW, I've spent about 10 years in the past living outside the US so I think I have a somewhat outsider's viewpoint.

I met a lovely old US couple on vacations. They said: "We are proud of our country, but ashamed of our government". And that's - for my outsider view - is exactly on the spot.
We are a big screwed up dysfunctional psychotic happy family - some more screwed up, others more happy, but everybody's psychotic joint venture definition of CP

Agreed. My mother-in-law occasionally makes liver and onions. It smells great, looks good. One bite and X|.

What you talking 'bout? There ain't no aliens here in Arizona. :) Congratulations on becoming a citizen. It's wonderful to be part of one of the greatest nations on the planet. It's also nice to know you're planning to vote. Now we can blame you for our elected officials. :)

More like a national day of mourning :((. Last year I paid more in federal income taxes than my entire salary the first year after I graduated from college :mad:.

Then perhaps you should consider taking up citizenship elsewhere. There are no perfect nations.

Mmmm - that's one of my favourites. As long as it's pigs liver, thinly sliced & floured and flash fried, it's gorgeous. Congrats on becoming American, Rob!

Welcome! You're now every bit as American as the rest of us - everyone here is from somewhere else. Now get out there and chase that American dream! :-D

Ah, a true expression of the principles of freedom of speech. When ones opinion is not agreeable, don't seek to understand or open the mind, simply curse and dismiss them. BTW, Hell is in Michigan. Been there. ;P

Yes, this was the response I was expecting from someone. If you don't agree with us, then get out. To hell with acceptence and tolerance of other views. I think peter chen's reply was on the money.

Having US citizenship makes it easy to travel/work around the world. That's a good enough reason for people to try and get a US citizenship :-)
