This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

North American individualism. The path we were promised was get education, get job, get apartment, meet so, merry so, buy house then have kids. The American dream is very 1D. Let alone paying taxes, "If they take one dollar off my wages, I'll vote that bastard out!!" . We're a very individually selfish people..

I don't think it's unique to the US, it's very much the paradigm this side of the pond as well.

Yea I called it "North Americans" we Canadians are quite guilty as well:C. Ontario killed subsidized housing.. I got a 5k down payment for my first home and they cut subsidized housing by 40% bitter pill...
