So because I missed about 12 years total of my 38 living somewhere else, I'm a lesser than American? You don't look at it as 12ish years of seeing how the rest of the world works, you look it at as "Oh the dumb fucking Australian might have been born here, but he'll never be a real American like us because he left the country at some point" which is the kind of arrogant, backwards thinking that makes the rest of the world hate us.
I spent all 4 years of high school and pretty much every summer here, fella. You can't get more formative years than that. If everything that I've been through here doesn't make me an American to some hillbilly snorting oxys and meth off his cousin's cleavage, I'm sorry I didn't live up to your scrutiny.
You don't have to like that I'm an American born in Texas, but I am. My previous job took me all over the country and I've lived for years in places that varied from the southwest to new england. Who knows, I might have experienced more of this country than you have.
Am I sitting here pulling my dick out over it and grabbing the ruler saying I'm more of an American than you because I've experienced living in more places? No, because I accept the fact that I'm an American and so are you. There aren't LEVELS to this shit, you either are or you aren't.
