All that, and only one word was capitalized.
Stay wherever you are, we have enough ignorant immigrants here.

DPH--stay in your country and never cross our borders again. We don't need or want ignorant, knuckle-dragging, mouthbreathers like you in our country.

Something tells me with your attitude that you're miserable wherever you go. Pathetic and sad.

Don't be so hard on the US. Perhaps another trip is in order to a different part of the states. Such variation here.

Sorry you found oc so unpleasant...I just know everyone in your part of the world is highly educated, quiet, unassuming, kind, and loving. Just as you appear to be. Keep up the good work spreading your class and good cheer.

Ditto to the posters who have shown you for being exactly what you point out. Remove the log from your own eye before pointing out the splinter in someone else's.

Oh, and don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.

Costa Mesa? That is one of the most laid back, diverse and non-snobby areas near the beach in OC!

I can't imagine how horrible your time would have been if you spent it all in Los Angeles or New York City.

Do you live on a farm or a prairie back in your homeland by chance?

Why do you think Hadrian built his wall between Scotland and England LOL
This guy probably got the harsh treatment for not tipping (a big Scottish - not English ) thing, couldn't understand why folks drive on the 'wrong' side and found that they don't sell haggis there (which sadly I tend to feel bad about too, because although I'm English, I like it!)
