Similarity

Life in the US and Serbia is very similar, except that in the US you are on your own.

On my 30th birthday, I had a strong feeling that I’d reached a mid-point in my life (or was it a third? Can’t remember clearly). I’ve changed country (came to the US), or – better yet – civilization, the youth was behind me, a really boring and tedious part of my life had just begun. I’m not sure whether that was the consequence of my coming to the US, or it would happen anyhow.

Unbelievable!

The US is the most boring country in the World: all Americans talk about is business, and the word that one hears most often is: SALE!!. I was unintentionally eavesdropping on a conversation between two philosophy students: they were talking about how to make money in philosophy! Unbelievable!

Totalitarian Country

The US is the most totalitarian country in the World!! Clarification: Population control is more visible than elsewhere. Also, the population’s unawareness of this control and manipulation by the ruling classes is stupendous.

Rubbish

Everything is rubbish in America, a friend advised me, trying to dissuade me from my intention to emigrate there. As he had never been to America, I did not take him very seriously, then: now I take him more seriously, but it is too late.

Cheap things

In the US there is something for everybody (and every pocketbook). But, the difference between cheap and expensive things is not only quantitative, but qualitative, as well, since cheap things – as a rule – don’t work!

How to get rich in America?

One of my acquaintances (hmm, there are people like that) told me this: “I would go to America only to get rich”. Since neither she nor I have been there at the time, I took this as an ignorant attitude. However, later, through experience, I became convinced that she was right: but I haven’t gotten rich yet – I don’t know what I’m still waiting for.

Deception

How come Americans never catch the main character they are chasing in their wars? It seems that the main evil character is always used to convince the public at home that the war is necessary, only to be forgotten, once he/she serves that purpose. It is amazing how this scenario always works!
