Living overseas made me really reconsider "how good we have it." When living in a tyranny felt about the same as America, except you had fast internet, clean roads, no niggers, and everyone worked hard. Really makes you think about America a little harder.

I was exaggerating about the tyranny part of it a little, but South Korea. Until the 1990s or so they effectively were a dictatorship, and even now there are a lot of rights that they don't have by law that Americans have, but if you look at the actual situation they're sending their corrupt politicians to jail, while our corrupt judges and prosecutors are sending innocent men to jail for stuff like hate crimes, so it works out to be a lot more similar than it looks if you just read the laws. Of course, in countries like that everything can change in an instant, as the Europeans are finding out, but I really did feel in a lot of ways that I was more free living there than I am in America.
