    We’ve been a joke for a long time. We the people are finally learning the rest of the world isn’t laughing with us…

      I used to live in England back in 1999-2004 on and off during the summer with my mom. Even then we were a fucking joke. I learned very quickly to lose my Texas accent and just tell people I was Canadian. I literally almost got my ass kicked several times after 9/11 when my fellow Brits found out I was from America. I wasn’t even old enough to vote at the time. I haven’t been back since 2009 but I suspect nowadays they’d just feel sorry for me. I live in California now which is rife with it’s own problems but at least my family and I feel somewhat safer here than in Oklahoma or Texas where we lived most our lives. I couldn’t raise my daughter in Oklahoma and feel that in doing what’s best for her. Plus California is fucking beautiful and there’s so much to do and see! Cost of living is the only downside here for me.
