The fairy island of Mee Shee Gan.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

No. He said "back to the countries you came from." English comprehension, Drich.
Are you going to address that you called one of the best and brightest cities in the U.S. a shithole?

I don't know what dump you're from, but Boston, being progressive, is only getting better.

N. Central Florida.......which explains a lot in and of itself.

Ah, so now that you're here, drich I have to ask: since you seem to believe that "if you don't like the way America does things, then you should leave," I have to ask you, why do you actually believe this? The way I see it, there are five possibilities for why someone would believe such a thing and I want you to tell me which of these actually applies to you:
1. You believe that your system of government is so broken that (barring an actual revolution or another nation forcibly overthrowing the government) expecting to be able to change things in it is an impossibility on par with eating the sun. This is admittedly plausible at this point, but I doubt that you might want to admit that.
2. You simply do not believe in democracy. By the exact logic of this statement, even politicians should not change things. And what is a nation where politicians just rubber-stamp whatever law the ruling class wants but an autocracy/dictatorship?
3. You are a pure and simple bigot and this only holds if the people you're saying this to are not of a certain ethnicity. And no, Drich, no amount of protestations about your being half-Korean will automatically disqualify you from this possibility.
4. You are so addicted to gainsaying that anything liberals or the left say is bad or needs to be changed is good that you no longer care about holding a coherent ideology and are more concerned with one-upping your opponents than anything else.
5. You just plain didn't think what you were saying through. (This option also covers "Trump said so, so I believe it!")
Which of these do you believe? You can do multiple choice, but I'm not sure that there are other rationales for that opinion that aren't covered. If you're going to try for a sixth option, it must address why you hold this belief. Just saying the same things over and over will not cut it.

Oh, dear god. Wouldn't know a nice place if it hit him in the face.
There are areas of Boston that I don't love, and my mom had it rough when she grew up in Dottie, but there is no question that Boston is doing great.

In fairness, it’s one of the most beautiful places on earth....it just ain’t filled with beautiful people. Place is choked with folks like him.
Which also might help explain drich to people who can’t imagine how that happens.

I was in Boston once. Spent a week there and made it out alive. Shan't go back, as I don't care to press my luck.
