I think it's pretty petty for people to make fun of the grammar mistakes someone from another country makes. It's not easy for a foreigner (especially from Asia) to learn a language that's not only illogical but has no base in their home language.

Seriously, how good is your Chinese?

Anyways.

Americans live pretty well, like everyone said. We don't have free health care like Norway or Canada and there's issues involving Social Security and pensions and stuff like that. Lots of Americans work hard, but that's got a lot to do with Puritan work ethic and the nature of our capitalist system.

It's very hard for immigrants or people with only highschool diplomas now, and college isn't cheap by any stretch, and the middle class often has to juggle finances to pay for college. It also hurts if you're a minority because even in the most liberal states, you can face racism.

In leisure, I decorate my own rooms. Recently I have added four bar stools and a game of pool to add value to my interior. Isn't it a nice step?
Holy 7 years ago.

It can very between NYC, California, and small town Iowa, but in general, most people just live between endless rows if plastic houses driving minivans, overconsume processed foods, and buy tons of useless plastic stuff they dont need. (aka suburbia)
