I'm sorry you have to subject yourself to such a sad
experience. You must live a sad, bitter life.

no, quite the opposite. you must be judging by yourself, while i'm
pretty capable of rising above the circumstances.

So, what's keeping you here among the unwashed heathens? I
mean, more money and better conditions....are you a masochist?

you see, my life is quite a lot more than "money and conditions". i'm
afraid you won't understand, not programmed to.

there's even a bit of charitable purpose of me being here. your see, as
i said before, usa today is like an neanderthal with a grenade. me and
people like me, by our very presence we kind of "average up" the general
iq of this backwards country, essentially rising it from the level of a
neanderthal tribe to the level of, say, fifteenth century village, thus
reducing the probability of that neanderthal pulling out the pin
inadvertently. many intelligent people come here from different parts of
the world with this specific thought in mind. so far the civilized world
hasn't found a better solution to the problem of usa possessing nukes.

but in any case, it is a lot more than that

No, it's just beyond me that anyone would choose to live where
they hate. If you have the job skills to work internationally, I'd
assume that means you have the ability to pick and choose. If you have
"good offers" where you'd prefer to be.......

as i said, i'll definitely do it at the first good opportunity. it is
not that simple, again. the very fact that i have to explain this is a
good indication that i'm trying to have a conversation with a not very
advanced (artificial?) intelligence... are you fimiliar with the
concepts of "family", "friends", "house", "ties", "getting settled down"
in some place? somehow i don't think so....
