I think I was born in the wrong country.....

Feb 17th 2009, 01:25 PM 2 raters



Did you ever get the feeling you were born in the wrong country? (not that there is anything wrong with mine, USA!) I had this thought occur to me while I was talking to my friends in Germany....At 16 they are allowed to drink and go to night clubs, bars and do pretty much anything else. ( except drive, but they can walk every where there!!)... What can you do here at 16? Mall and Movies..... ^-_-^...

 Also my friends ( both guy and girl) have no problem with talking about ANYTHING,! Sex...Politics.... Relgion or anything else that is considered taboo here. There are times when I want to have an intelligent discussions about these topics but when I try to talk to my american friends they refuse.

Speaking of Sex.... in europe...sex is not that big of deal, unlike here.... My guy friend was caught having sex by his mom, and she didnt freak out.. all they ever said to him "was are you protected?" Come on... my mother would have a heart attack!!!!

So yes... I am starting to believe I was born in the wrong country....But for now I am happy with the USA.

Here is your random German word for the day:   Steckdose, which means Electrical Outlet... XD

Tschus and Good Bye, Alex!

    Interesting thought! Really.
    Here in europe, sex is kind of normal. Sex is everywhere...naked people in ads, reports in TV and so on.
    United States are more prude and conservative.

    greetings from germany
