Again, those countries aren't failing. Do they have debt issues because they drank our KoolAid? Sure. There are few places that haven't been impacted. But anyway- let's get back to where this tangent started.

I reacted to that egocentric American attitude of-

I don't think they are failing either, but they aren't in good shape; they will bail each other out. Or, China might bail them out; who knows?. Whatever they drank, they did so on their on free will. Bob should stop googling this stuff. :lol:

I am totally up for a trip and maybe a free drink! :D

While what you say is true to a degree, the main thing I learned from other societies is that America is the best place I've seen in the world to live, though that may be changing as we speak. Oh, and I have live in four other societies an extended period of time.
