Every once in a while on this board I've told someone that they strike me as someone that has never left the United States. Often times this is as a response to someone who is bashing America, or just making totally inaccurate claims about America. Ironically in my real life I find that these are often the same people who are afraid of actually leaving the country.
My comments are not meant to be the same as ignorant rednecks who say stupid shit like "If you don't like America, you can get out!" or the idiot left wing equivalent who say shit like "Well if you don't like so and so law, why don't you live in Somalia." I actually had someone say that to me on here when criticizing some of America's stupid traffic laws. Ironically I might be one of the few people on these boards who has actually lived in the developing world. (The so called third world) So these suggestions fall rather hollow on my ears.
No, mine is a real suggestion for people to go overseas and experience a different culture. I mean actually experience it too, a two week vacation to an area set up to replicate America is depriving yourself of any real experience. Try to get significant time off. If you do it correctly, traveling in the developing world should be much much cheaper per month then just paying rent in the US. For example your average hostel in most of South America is 3-5 dollars a night. Not only will this give you an actual experience with a different culture, but you will understand why we have it so good here in the United States. I feel that people who die within 100 miles of where they grew up have wasted their lives. Remember you only get one.
