Stop in for a cup of coffee

Just need to consider your audience when speaking. Unless you have authority or put something out as ‘knowledgeable’ info, I don’t see a problem. As said we are just kicking ideas around. Not writing a ‘how to’. And maybe some of it is your zip code. Not saying some people aren't out to sue around here, but I'm not afraid to talk...

The month I spent in Wisconsin in 2004 was like night and day to what I experience here. Completely opposite. Even the traffic is like night and day. But visiting here in 2012 when we were going back was also different than moving here permanently. Then I was treated like a tourist. When I moved here I became an intruder. An unwanted pain in the tush. :D

It is a lot of that in Norway too. It is like, oh, come and visit our beautiful country, oh you have moved here, we'll make your life miserable. And this is part of why I have lost all confidence in mass immigration and that it will work out and people will intermingle. We are closest to our own nation. Then it is our own state, our own county, our own city, our own street, our own race, our own family, our own household. We can call it sad or whatever, but I think this is a natural defense mechanism in all human beings. I don't think it is because of hate or ill will. We are just defending our self, from way back in time. Sometimes it might look like hate, but I don't think hate is what fuels it. And I don't think any law or program from the government about how to behave can change it. The only way to get it better is to live by the golden rule of treating others the way you want to be treated yourself. We all fail on that one, still we see the point of it.
