I mean I lived there for a while. But the only reason was for dream. But the dream didn’t happen. If I see the crime documentary or realty tv show cops, it’s just unbelievable. I mean many Koreans people who owns shops got robbed and they are threatened their life with guns. I mean everything in the us is bubble. I actually tried to be a singer and I met a record label company president and he knows lady gaga. And I was so surprised how ‘shitty’ the industry was. It was nothing like I imagined. I mean I landed in New York City supposed to be fancy and expensive but everywhere was filthy and illegal graphitty all over make me think it’s like a third world somewhere in Africa. If America is the number one country then the law should be in place but it was in chaos. I mean crimes was all over the country even in a small town was not safe. And 42street by the broadway show theatre was filled with porn theater and prostitution was all over. I just didn’t know what to think… hahaha. I landed so I tried to make a living but I simply couldn’t adjust. People I met in the US are overweighted. And they look so old. I just couldn’t help think that there is no future. Only a few things I liked is that local Chinese restaurant and Disney land. Other than that everything is so out of my dream. I mean I don’t want to break the bubble since so many people want to come over but this is the reality I had to face. I try to live with it but that’s about it. There is no dream. There is only a chaos here. So what do you think? Do you still want to come over? Become a criminals? I mean this country turn everyone criminals that’s for sure. I don’t really know what trump is babbling about.

+1 yGreat perspective, from your limited view, you are right. Your point makes total sense and I wonder... did you have any support and are you possible, more of a traditional values person? There are different "realities" all within a short distance.
NYC and big cities in California are run by Democrats. They are Sh! t holes. Some places like DC have super rich one side of street, and dirt poor on the other.
America... has declined into the "haves" and the haves nots".
There is a "good"... or much better america and I'm sorry you didn't see that or have help to find it.
I live close to Nyc and we live a great life, many do. Others live in pathic squalor. Yes, crime is awful and abusive... that's Democrats and they deny it even exists so they cannot argue. We've decline because our standards and values have declined.
It is not the "Dream country" it used to be, thus MAGA (Make america great again) in concept. It used to be the land of opportunity. It still is. Example. Relative of mine from France found wife in NYC. They live there, it's crappy little place, but he is living so much better than France, he can achieve greater financial success and freedom... still possible.
Quality of food and such, USA is awful. You must navigate around the filth and junk to find what is good. We have the whole world in NYC. Yes, americans diets are pathetic unless they are disciplined. Have to be very careful how/where your kids are educated and what exposed to.
In short, you are right and wrong. There may be better places... I don't know. My eyes are open. There are other areas like Nashville for music that be better than NYC. Ohio be better for IT, parts of it.
We are visiting Korea this year I hope and I hope to get new perspective. I do know much of the USA is outdated relative to at least China and Japan. We are a fading nation, we don't know it.
lmk if you have questions.

in my opinion, everyone has to be a thief or prostitute. Otherwise there is no decent life. Have you stole anything?
- +1 y
never. I grew up in USA and moved to beautiful place north of nyc.
Yes there is theft and crime in nyc, nyc is a giant SH! t hole, per other americans I talk to including me. I can find the places to "enjoy"... and leave. To me, it's awful. That... is not america at all. It's a democratic hell hole... and there are others.
There are a lot of prostitutes now. We, america, is destroying the country. But there's still good areas and I've known so many immigrants (legal) that have done so well, they stay. none go home to india or china or iran, etc.. why would they, they get rich, live in big beautiful homes with dogs and cats, nice cars, save money, etc.. they living the American dream. Most are tech workers, doctors, or business owners.
Trying to do business at the low end can work, but risky in nyc. That's why smart people get the H_ll out of NYC to better areas in Connecticut, other areas of NY, PA, NH, OH, TN, FL, etc..
You just didn't have good guidance or ability to navigate the mess.
we are considering hosting a foreign exchange student. We like to share all the good we have. Have met other foreigners that want to come here and guarntee, they be successful. But it does take guidance to navigate.
Someone show up on NYC and try to survive doing some job or shop... God help them. I see chinese do it and do very well, but the risks have gone up in recent years due to social decay and crime. NYC is on the "down swing"... going down...

I'm sure America is a good country to live in if you're rich. How you amass that money and the lengths you have to go to is another question. 40% of Americans are obese. Indeed, dystopian.

+1 yObviously it has the highest crime rate, why would anyone think America is the dream? Especially NY all big cities are shit holes you can't expect much from them because there is so many people. You also have to make your dreams come true, it takes luck, timing, hard work and drive.

+1 yI was all set to move a business to the US since I was exporting there and I had another business with locations in two states. I don't think I would now because there are better opportunities elsewhere. There seems to be pockets that might make it a dream country but many states are kinda nutty to be honest

+1 yThey call it the American dream because you have to be asleep. I would rather be where I am now despite it being closer to the russian/Ukrainian conflict because I can see first hand how damn retarded most Americans are. My wife and I have spent a considerable amount of time and money helping Ukrainian refugees. Reality is many countries are worse than America many are better as well.

Yeah, it's been destroyed by the leftist scum along with rinos. But it was allowed to happen because of the freedom it once held in high regard.

Opinion Owner+1 y@whistlingwh0res Wow. Fascinating to see what the moderators allow some people to get away with. If I had said that I’d be locked out of my account. I think I’ll report you and see what the mods do.
Then I’ll go make myself a cup of coffee and enjoy a nice cigar because you’re no longer in my country and you’re back in whatever shithole you plopped out of.
