Legitimate question and not trying to be rude: I've noticed that often when people express frustration with the US, they're told to leave, but then when they threaten to leave, they also get made fun of or are told to stay and change the country. It makes me wonder, especially as someone who was brought here at a young age with no say in the matter, what SHOULD we do when we feel overwhelmingly frustrated with our country? Should we leave for a country that's more in line with our values, or try to change the country we're in? The latter may sound more ideal to many, but not very realistic IMO.
Honestly, it depends on the person. If it bothers the person to the point it ruins their mood on a daily or even weekly basis, then I would say leaving for greener pastures is worth a try. However, for most people... it's not a big enough deal to cause pain, so it's just more of a figure of speech.

Nah, wouldn't wish them on Canada. Canada's never done anything bad to me.
Exactly! Wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy. Look what they have done to this country. Sad.
