VCJIM, come on, man! Just one criticism about overspending Americans makes you so mad? Give me a break. I don’t have any anti-American intention at all, and I am an American myself. I am happy living here.

I guess I wasn’t careful enough. I should have said “SOME Americans”. Will that make you feel better? The world is not perfect, and we Americans are not perfect, either.

I do have strong sentiments about Americans overspending and living in a debt situation, though. Don’t you agree some of them spend way too much and get themselves in big debt? It is a fact that America’s savings rate is negative.

This is just an internet discussion board. Everybody can have his(her) own opinion. No need to get so emotional. If you don’t like my point of view, you don’t have to read it. I have no problem. Relax!

What a world traveler you are?! I thought world travelers are usually more open-minded. Obviously you are not.(Oops, I should say SOME world travelers are open-minded. :))

Well, this is not housing related, so I do not want to run into an argument with you and I am calling it off now.
