Active Duty People: DADT?

[jilena]

I think it's hilarious that people feel like the US is somehow the world leader in bigotry and discrimination. I don't have a single white american citizen friend that is half as racist or bigoted as the least racist of my foreign friends (and I live in fucking Texas so that is saying something). Fuck I have Mexican and South American friends who flat out HATE people from other nearby countries. And they look the fucking same! (Go ask anyone actually FROM Mexico how they feel about people from El Salvador) The only exception being a Russian lady I know but she is over the top nice anyway.

I am not saying there aren't crazy backward fucked up people, and I am not saying that some of these people aren't exceptionally vocal and I will never deny that they make us all look terrible... I am just saying "IT'S NOT JUST US".

As for migrating to other countries. Having a useful and desirable skill and no communicable diseases makes this pretty much a non-issue. I have no college degree and I am willing to wager I could migrate just about anywhere based solely on having 15+ years of experience as a network admin/engineer. Obviously that doesn't apply to someone just out of college but I wouldn't really say it's impossible. And you can always join the fucking peace corps. It's what all the cool kids who have useless degrees and no are doing. I have a few friends who did this for a while and taught English in the phillipines and whatnot. Or are you saying you want to go somewhere more developed?
