@JaxsonDimes@MurrayHillGuy1 Well I also lived in NYC as a single and relatively successful guy.
However the line between "sort of cool young guy having fun" and "creepy older dude" starts blurring as you get older.
@YourAnonNews Real world - I lived in a country with free education and healthcare.
It worked based on rationing: going to college meant passing three consecutive curved tests - 50/50 pass fail. This meant 12.5% got in.
And healthcare - great if you didn't have anything expensive to fix.
@DSA_Watch Something about second generation Asian women - way too many seem to forget how hard their parents worked to provide them with advantages and spend their time complaining.
@matthe1972@joshua_goodman_@BoringBiz_ Agree - I would enjoy still sleeping with young hot women, but no way on earth I would give up marriage to a woman I love and family life with my kids for it.
Doesn't mean it's not appealing - just not worth what you give up.
@jeremylynnkidd@SnakeRiverBASE@ryanburge Don't know all the schools, but Smith is all girls and very left wing. Hard to believe anyone applying there doesn't know what they are getting.
@HistoryBoomer Yet you know that not all immigrants have the same NPV.
Those like my wife who is very accomplished and pays a lot of taxes make the pie bigger.
That is not the case with all.
@JamesSurowiecki The fact that a relatively new citizen with no significant experience or accomplishments is able to become mayor of our largest city speaks volumes about American opportunity.
@intellivisi0x@feelsdesperate He is a poster child for American greatness.
If a failed rapper with no discernable skills can become mayor of our largest city within eight years of gaining citizenship absolutely no one can say you can't make it here.
@CultureExploreX My experience with people attracted to organizing etc... is that they seldom have much actual value to offer and are resentful of those who do.
Of course there are exceptions.
To the Americans:
I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.
And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:
You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.
This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.
Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.
This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.
But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.
This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.
And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:
Thank God for the United States.
Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.
Long may your admirable country dominate the world.
Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.
May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.
Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.
Thank God for the USA.
Happy 250th.
