Re: Is the US still a dream worth pursuing?
On about:"Right now, this country is in the throes of finding out that it no longer runs the world, and never will again...."?
Well, all who always denied the US being the best country in the world are finally about to see the world run by.... ehh, who exactly? any thoughts?

I don't get how it's too crowded to live here. Maybe if he stopped living in California, Florida, New England, Maryland, NoVA, NYC, and all the other major cities, he'll find it's not crowded at all 
As for not having kids in the U.S. as in American, I want to get out of here before I start thinking of raising a family. Come here and have your fun but for God's sake don't have a family here. Our standards and everything is pretty much like a minimum standard. All the European exchange students that come here always say how easy our schools are, and our senior year in high school, is their 10th year according to my German, Russian, and French exchange students that I have met over the years. This country is going to the wolves, and while the lot of you guys are fortunate enough that you can just pack up and leave when the going gets rough, I, bloody yank, et. all have to stay here and weather the storm.

Besides, its odd how you never hear of you yanks moving to Canada. Perhaps its difficult for you to get in? You wouldn't think so - considering proximity.
Have you thought of that option?
You do sound the same, anyway.

Re: Is the US still a dream worth pursuing?
This whole thread is stupid. The American Dream (it's not even called the US dream 
) was never about middle class people moving here and becoming rich. It was always about poor (and by poor I mean POOR) people from the US and other nations being able to achieve a level of comfort and a the hope of a better standard of living for their children.
Is the American dream still viable? I don't know. But at least get a grip about what it ever was folks.
