Ok, enough said and heard. I would like to feel the pulse of the sajha dudes and dudenums...or whatever. If you have been here in the US long enough to know the 'amrican' life, can you list out few things from your own experience to prove that life here in the USA is in fact better than back home.....I seem to be disillusioned by the amrican lifestyle...maybe i am growing old.....

Well said BC!
I am a big time looser in their eyes and I have no qualms against them.

Lets think this way. There is no country. we all people are living in a planet earth. If you dont like earth then create a hubble spaceship, and search for another planet. Universe is big enough. you will find one.

I like America (compared to Nepal) because:
- opportunities: abundant jobs, get paid magnitude more
- legal system: no maobadis/gundas threatening you, laws not only in books
- less discrimination (relatively): discrimination is illegal vs right to discriminate
- banking system: fast secure and guaranteed by federal govt
- customer service: world leader
- less pollution: laws against pollution, people following rules
- security: law enforcement & military top in the world
- education: freedom to choose what you want to study
- technology: world leader in most technologies
- people: melting pot/ brain drain
- politics: people not involved in politics
- economy: world economy is majorly dependant on US economy vs poorest country
- entertainment: if you have money, there is more ways to spent than you could ever imagine

Talking about happiness lets see what some people have to say about it.

There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second.
Logan Pearsall Smith, Afterthoughts, 1931

If you want to be happy, be.
Leo Tolstoy

Most people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy.
Robert Anthony

Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
Nathaniel Hawthorne

Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Abraham Lincoln

The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet. James Openheim

If you get too late to attain happiness then you would be saying::


What a wonderful life I've had! I only wish I'd realized it sooner.
Colette


Look at the face on Mars. Even she is happy.
