Good morning, it's me, a German male. Chose my Nick cause I love Pilgrimship. I'm here to learn how Americans think and sometimes add a European perspective.
Greetings - Aussie here. One of quite a few. There are a couple of curmudgeons on the board who do not like those of us with a different view but most re welcoming and fun!
Welcome! I find it interesting how foreigners find Americans fascinating enough to seek them out for discussion. Hopefully, you will find a nice niche here.
Thanks! US-Americans fascinate me when they call themselves American And there are lots of facettes to be explored. I'm not surprised about what US-Americans are talking, I'm really fascinated about they are talking not: Liveable wages, workers' rights, food ingridients, health system, tuition fees, school funding and so much more.
All your points can be raised in the other forums. I generally don't discuss politics in a welcome/introduction thread.
