Is life in America so great after all?
I went to India earlier this year, for 6 weeks. I have to say that I loved it. The lifestyle there is so relaxed and easy-going. The overall atmosphere there is that way. Everyday life is not stressful and filled with pressure, the way it is in America. In America, people have careers that they dislike but they stay at their jobs because the money is good. Us Americans are like robots, Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. (It's not even 9 to 5 anymore!) All we do is whine about our jobs. Often, we spend much of our time waiting for Friday to come around, so that we can enjoy the weekend. We obsess about Friday. If it happens to be a Wednesday, we say to ourselves or others, "only 2 more days till Friday!" That's rather sad and very depressing.
Then we dread Monday, because we have to go back to work.
In America, it seems that "we try to make ends meet, we're a slave to money, then we die" (a quote from "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve.)
Even very poor people in India seem happy, in a way. They don't have to deal with the whole "rat race" concept, and "keeping up with the Jones's."
I believe these are some of the reasons that there is such a high rate of depression and anxiety, not to mention obesity, in America, compared to other countries. What do you think?

Cougerrette sounds like a big cowerdly cross dressing cat who speaks with a french accent and keeps losing his keys in his purse.
I think that settles that debate inarguably and indefinetly.
it's sooo hard being sooo right soooo often.
LOL @ Bleeeeach.
it comes when you heat argenine (main protin in potatoe) at over 400 degrees.
it's in alot of food. but, in fries it is above 40 miligrams, whearas in baked potatoes, crackes, and breads if is less than 0. something or other miligrams.
people who sell that comound (i forget it's name) must do so with the warning tht it is carcinogenic.
there is legislation in CAlifronia to impose warning labels on fries and potatoe chips.
as goes Califronia, so does the nation.
