| I know a fair few of those people, except they didn't walk to the west, they sailed. Basically my parents, and my aunts and uncles. Like I said elsewhere, it's a good attitude that you can do it, but it's not actually realistic that you can. People learn this the hard way in sports for example. We aren't all going to starting QB, there's only 32 of those jobs. > "Dirty Dancing", "Saturday Night Fever" Movies from back before the drawbridge came up. > Complaining about not being a billionaire's son is a waste of your life. Well I actually went to school with a billionaire's kid, and I never thought I'd rather have his life. Nor did anyone else. There's also a fair bit of gap between "oh why am I not a prince" and "everything I'm good at or want to do will cost me a huge amount of debt". > What do they know that you don't? People are mistaken about how other countries are all the time. Do you think Western defectors to the communist blocks were never disappointed? Keep in mind not everyone knows everything, even after they turn 18. If you think there's so much opportunity, why is it that people are complaining about the lack of it? Perhaps they've actually tried to search for them and couldn't find any? |
