I was in line at Fry's and ahead of me was a little girl expressing her childish curiosity to her mom. "I wish I was born in another country, and not the USA. I didn't get to pick what country I was born in." Her mom is like, "why?" and the daughter continues,"Other countries are better." Now mom is aware that other people can hear the conversation, and she says,"other countries are weird." Her daughter is oblivious to everyone in line and asks what makes other countries weird.

I interjected: "SOME COUNTRIES MAKE LITTLE GIRLS WORK IN DIAMOND MINES!" there was a high school-ish girl and her dad behind me, and they heard everything. The girl snorted. Even the mom thought it was funny, so she leaned down to her daughter and repeated, "Yeah! Some countries make little girls work in DIAMOND MINES!"

I was just... so happy to be living my life in that moment.

But other countries are better than the US......

Unless you're an Amurikan from Amurikastan.

I live in OtherCountrystan, confirming that we are weird.

Every little girl is send into our diamond mines at the age of six where they will grow to become real women, which they demonstrate publicly by duct taping live otters to their heads-- the more, the better. The males (recognizable by wearing empty maple syrup cans on their heads that are adorned with blinking diodes) court for the females by wearing their underwear on the outside and trying to feed the female head-otters with strawberry muffins.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Sounds like the East Village in NYC.

Sounds like a good night out in Amsterdam to me.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Like what, all of 2 of them ? There are plenty of other countries.

Yet another attempt by the OP to generate a stealth political argument thread where none is allowed.

also provided OP is telling the truth, he should learn some manners and not interrupt other people's conversations.

Naw, now you killed that little girls dream to move to an actually good country. Here in Norway little girls and boys get to work in the best country in the world, with free heralthcare, education, and security. We also make rather good money on top of it.

Tbh, I should really get a monocle if I ever visit the US again.

Seriously though, the US has a lot of issues other first world countries fixed long ago, I am kind of shocked how it is over there.

Agreed. It is not the same country I was born to in 1965 at all.
