I've never been to Germany, and I'm originally from NY, living in Seattle...I'm planning on moving to Germany because there are a lot of things I dislike about the US. Yes, we're obese, our divorce rates are out of control, and the mentality growing up is "sex sex sex" and relationships are becoming a thing of the past here...BUT, i MUST say this. This is obviously biased here but I think the US is definately in the top percentile in an overwhelming amount of accomplishments, not just military either, but in education as the previous poster pointed out. I love it here, living in NY is a little hectic, but Seattle is absolutely gorgeous and the people are amazing. The US has a LOT of culture, from down south New Orleans to New "Yawk" to Texas and up to the hippies and outdoor guru's here in Seattle/Portland area. I hope my move to Germany will be worth it though! Reading these posts have gotten me a little scared! Many people are saying Germany sucks, but I can tell they are probably ill-informed and being typical big-ego Americans.. (theres alot of them here, dont mind them, they'll be in rehab soon, like our celebrities)
