Got that? Pretty simple. I have the choice. I'm here cause I dig it here, got that?
All I was trying to get across is that Amman is a much more vibrant and exciting place, especially for a young person, than Calgary.
What a lot of people seem to be getting from that is that I'm saying it is a better place. I am not saying it is a better place.
I'm talking specifically about my disengaged, apathetic, lazy, culturally-cannibalistic, generation. Which seems to largely be going out of its way not to make Calgary or Alberta a more vibrant place to be.
That apathy is just not found among youth over there. THAT is what I was trying to get across.

I have no doubt it's a more vibrant and exciting place. Two million people are crammed in there and it's in the middle of the craziest place on earth.
As for "apathetic, disengaged, lazy, culturally-cannibalistic (whatever the hell that means)" -- that's a fancy way of saying "stupid" as far as I'm concerned. If someone describes me that way, they are calling me a moron.
Unless you meant it as a compliment.
