I first went there in 1976, I lived there for 5 months in 1978, and up until Covid I visited once sometimes twice per year, I got married there in 1994, and I go around with my eyes wide open, not missing much.
Not everything that happens there is good, but a ****hole? Not in my estimation, not in a million years.
I watched that on Reddit a couple of days ago, simply horrible.
What an awful country America has turned out to be.
Couldn't pay me to live there.
A very good friend of my wife migrated to Denver CO in the late seventies, married and subsequently divorced an American and has lived in Colorado ever since.
After the January Capitol invasion my wife asked her if she had any concerns about staying there and did all the guns on the streets ever give her cause for concern.
She said that Colorado is an open carry State, but the only guns she’d ever seen were on a cop’s hip, and as much as she loved to come back to London every couple of years, she still retained her U.K. citizenship, ( might be a dual citizen), she’d never come back to U.K. permanently, or even think of living anywhere than just outside Boulder CO.
