Darling, if there's one thing I learned on my travels across the globe not as a tourist but being blessed to be able to become part of the culture while spending a few years in each place, is that there are plenty of idiots no matter where. It's an integral part of humanity to have nice folks and massive fuck ups. Integral and unavoidable.
Sure, sometimes the percentage of each changes, meaning for instance Munich has 80% nice people and 20% fuck ups, unlike Manchester where it is the other way around. But generally it doesn't matter if you are in California, Poland, or out on an oil rig in the North Sea, there will be a fucked up guy!
So yes, it is nice to bitch about all the evil that certain countries do just for bitching's sake. Like the English of course, which is made even that much easier because they are ugly, but then looking back it also brought plenty of good to the world. Just like America. I might not agree with their methods and utterly selfish ways, because even USAID is there for political reasons and not only to provide bags of corn to starving folks, but! They also provide good things. Like Jack Daniels and some of the recent beers that come out of the USA. On top of that, having worked with the US Embassy here for quite some time, I have to say that my life long theory of Americans being so wonderfully shallow, when you meet them they behave like you are the biggest gift and most beautiful addition to their life, yet when you part ways, you're just out of their mind, unlike most Europeans or most other nations really.
But! You Yanks all know that of course, hence manage to come up with stuff where you take the shit out of yourselves, i.e. Team America "Fuck Yeah!", which we started watching with our daughter as it looked like something out of "Die Augsburger Puppenkiste", which was utterly famous during my childhood in Germany where you had all those lovely Marionettes bopping across the TV, only to start wondering when those very Marionettes started to get into some seriously kinky shit. Literally. Then again, American comedy is somehow addicted to such. You would never find a stinky mop or floating turds, or somebody peeing over a face in Black Adder or Fawlty Towers.
Yeah, America is without a doubt the most dangerous place on the planet, all of you living there just manage to ignore that fact in such a lovely fashion, but still, if all goes well we will definitely come and do our California tour. Even more so since you can buy Glocks and Sig's over the counter there for prices you just dream about here.
I am still looking for the perfect place on the planet and judging from the way things are going, all the countries I've been in, it looks like I'll have to get my own island and do it myself.
I will get me one of those rubber dinghy's and start up the raving buccaneers movement! Har har matey
