: : Yes,Igor,you almost made me a shamed of myself.
: : I wouldn't say I don't agree with you about some things , and yes, I had overstated too far with those artificial stuffs. Maybe I had to say something as "by and large" or "in general", and of course not everyone. In that way I've offended my American friends who are pretty nice people.
: About my thankfulness and gratefulness... You don't know what I'm thankful for and to who. And GOD alone knows how grateful I am to Him for given me chance to come here and... America and Americans for their politeness.
: Everything that we have here / not just me/ -we earn, nobody gives it to us for free. We work here for pennies, on jobs that Americans rather would sit at home and live on government, financial aid than do those kind of jobs.
: Teachers, doctors,etc.,with higher education work on constructions,cleaning services, as caregivers, truk drivers... You know this better than I do, don't you? But who cares? Even working for this kind of money, here we have much,much more than we would ever-never have at home. And nobody cares how much we miss our language, our traditions, or do we not? Here we are, working on our Christmas , and our Easter, and others our holidays. But what difference does it make. No difference...
: And I've not said that I'm not satisfied here, in some other way I am , but it doesn't make me feel happy so far from land and everything I love.
: And once more about my thankfulness and my manners. Even if I'm not grateful and my manners are bad, at least I don't try to lie to myself and to anyone else. And now I shall be rude again: Who you are to judge me?
: Best regards...
