So how many of those who thanked this message have lived in another country more than say....a decade. Long enough to buy a car, own a house and raise a family? Who?
And can you give a real example of this happening? I can...but here is the kicker.
If my son whose first language is Japanese, goes to University here in Japan and gets a Engineering degree and then straps a bomb to his ass to blow the dirty "NIPS" to kingdom come....then I will understand this idiotic cultural equivalency.
Nobody expects Grandma from X-istan to speak English nor would we even expect her son Papa from X-istan to speak fluent English or become fully part of this culture. Now when Papa's sons or grandsons who have grown up in Canuckistan start being more X-istanian. Yet stay in Canuckistan, hating it and its people, maybe even wanting to kill Canuckistanians....you have to take a step back and say...WTF!
