I didn't even have to say anything. (And you know how nasty one of my "looks" can be!) Josey: Perhaps you are right that going abroad somehow exaggerates the negative characteristics of some of these American students. Or maybe I am just overly sensitive to it. But to me, when you are living in a foreign country, you should always be aware of the fact that people are looking at you as an "American." I think there is some responsibility in that.

Hopefully this "dude" was sent to Guantanamo Bay! I find it mindboggling that he could connect his computer through the internet to his mother’s cable box in NY!!! Just imagine me on the receiving end of this conversation.

I live in the United States and I have the same trouble with idiots like that. They are self centered garbage. Something about the big city makes them act like they are Gods gift to the world. They aren't worth talking to. If you find yourself in that position again,...avoid them at all cost. Another thing,..if he was living there and was hooked in to his mommy's house and was going to L.A. for a tv show, it sounds like he was living off of someone elses wallet. They are a joke. I live in the country and I'm not that a way, nor my friends. Come and see for yourself on blogger. Look up josey land. He doesn’t represent the rest of us americans.
