Dear my friends that are Americans,
We live in a country built on tremendous morals and an amazing sense of respect. I have been now in Central Europe and Paris and have found a new sense of respect for the country I love. I just want to tell everyone to take a second and realize how glorious of a country we live in unless you have experienced weeks or months in Central Europe. I am not going to lie, but the places I have been are beatiful and absolutely amazing, but something is just not there. Something that Americans have that is nowhere else in the world. I know there are many people out there who dislike this country and the way it is run and....yada yada yada, but nobdy should be bashing anything about us until they have the credentials to do so. We live in the most incredible place on this earth. side note: this would be a tad easier said if we had the Hofbrauhaus....but besides that it is perfect for everthing. Europe is great and all but here are some of the things that make America so amazing.....(when I say say Central Europe...im talking Czech Republic, Hungary, etc....)
1. We get ice in our sodas
2. We get Free Refils (you will not find that in Central Europe)
3. You arent charged for Bread at your tables
4. If you request a song from the House Band they done put it on your Check.
5. You arent obsessed with getting your pocket picked
6. We as Americans dont say F U to any foreigner visiting out country...people will disagree on this but compared to over here we are servants to foreigners. I can speak German and they were not nice to us.
7. You arent charged for Ketchup that you used that was given to you.
8. You can order chicken not worrying about the Bird Flu
9. repeat...you can get free refils....its killin me guys!!
10. People dont pee in the sewer in the middle of the city...we saw 3.
There are many more but all in all we need to just love our country with everything we have. You people who hate George will get your Democrat to be president next and your life will be minimally effected by the change. If that is what it takes for people in this country to be happy than I am all for it. I just want people to stop worrying about the things and complaining about stuff that ultimately would be a lot worse if you lived anywhere else besiedes the greatest country on earth. It really puts things into perspective how lucky we really are and should not be complaining about the things we are. People in Europe listen to our music, adapt our culture, wear our clothes, and virtually do everything we do except the environments are just not as a clean. Just appretiate where we live for awhile, take in the fresh air and freedom, walk down the street not worrying about getting mugged, dance on the newly mowed grass, and praise God for putting us in an amazing place and praise God for the rest of the world because the people of the world are working on helping the world are become more free, becoming a better, safer, and friendlier place every day. It is going to get there soon and someday it will be something that none of will have to worry about. Earlier today we talked about how Force sometimes = Peace when the person using force knows know Peace. Peace can only be achieved by using force on those who only know force. I am a peaceful person. I cannot wait for Peace on this earth, whether I am here or not but I will one day witness it from here or above.
p.s. I in know way am saying that my trip is going bad. I am having the best time of my life. I am here with 13 other amazing people and the cities have been absolutely breathtaking. Salzburg and Munich being my favorite. I was in the city that Sound of Music took place. I saw all the places and everthing. It was incredible. I hiked in the Alps, drank lots of Beer, saw a concentration camp, scaled the Eifel Tower, shopped in Paris, and bought Absinth in Prague.(not drank) It has been incredible....check out my facebook for a picture of us in the Alps. |
