[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are not American right OP? So people are not going to react well to you criticizing us. Plenty of people in the US are critical of their own country - but most people don’t like it when someone from another country is criticizing your own. [/quote]

Particularly, when they come here to take advantage of our universities, Standard of living, and freedoms.[/quote]

How do they "take advantage of our universities"? I can assure, having worked with foreign students that most of them are full pay and are subsidizing tuition for American students. Those who get funding are usually Ph.D.-level students who works as teaching or research assistants in exchange for tuition and a stipend. Also, "standard of living" is quite relative. Don't see too many Europeans, Canadians, or others from equally developed countries clamoring to move here for our standard of living. Ditto on freedoms--what additional freedoms do we have that people from similarly developed countries don't have? [/quote]
