    We have no 2a, our stores are small, and we don’t tip.

    These are the only examples you can come up with as to why Americans might “never shut up” about it being “better back home?” I’m having a hard time taking that seriously.

    I consider those to be GOOD things.

    Well yeah, so would roughly 90% of all Americans. Well maybe the small stores thing from a convenience standpoint I guess?

    What I’m saying is I’d like you to elaborate, this can’t be the whole story (signed, someone who has seriously given thought to moving to NZ). :)

        Also anecdotal: I met an American in France one time. We were both travelling, so there were plenty of other things to talk about, but somehow he got onto the subject of how much he loves the 2nd amendment within 5 minutes of meeting him, max. I have no idea how he steered the convo there, it was like a magic trick. Blew my mind.

      I think you’re equating Lemmy with America. You vastly overestimate how many people share that viewpoint.
