I've been to 34 States over the past 40 years ... and yes ... I truly am glad I'm not an American. I MUCH prefer being a Canadian. I'd opt to be an Australian, or to move to the UK or France (the other countries I've visited) before I'd want to be an American.
Not saying there aren't some nice Americans, and not saying there aren't some nice areas in the US, and not saying I mind visiting the US on occasion ... I just have absolutely no desire to ever live there.
