Let's list the reasons and ways that American's are extra special and should be treated as such.

I'm in a third world country right now. If you drink the water you'll get sick. There is raw sewage coming out of manholes and no one gives a fuck. In fact , I've seen about 7 missing manholes in the streets just in this one town.There are no trash Cans, the ocean and beaches have plastic and Styrofoam all over them, though there are many perfect Beaches here too:) Haven't seen or heard. a single ambulance or firetruck in 34 days.No emissions laws =shit air quality in town. Retail stores sell shit Chinese BS. people live in cinder block Buildings with no windows,only shutters. Kids sell shit out of plastic bags while to you while you eat in restraunts. Stray,though very friendly and lovable, wild dogs roam everywhere with limps and scars and horrible injuries....no one gives a fuck. They find out you speak English here they try to fuuuuuuck you out of money. 7 dollars for a fucking coconut if your a nice trusting American and don't know why your monopoly pesos are really worth. Anyone of you little bit he's think you really hate American go take a peak of how the Majority of the world lives and then see if you keep Bitching. THEY CAN'T AFFORD WINDOWS AND I HAVE A $700 MINI COMPUTER IN MY POCKET. If you haven't felt that, you don't know a single fucking thing about what you little skier snobs have.

Having said that, aside from a few of my own Bitchy American things that I see as neglect or irregular these people are generally happy and wonderful helpful people.The Dominican Republic is an interesting place.

So I guess the companies are more important than giving healthcare to those who need it but cannot afford it? Right then

I live in the UK, yeah the NHS isn't run great but at least if I get some horrific illness I don't have to pay for my right to healthcare, at least i don't have to pay because I contracted an illness that wasn't my fucking fault

Why does America deny healthcare to the poor? Are they lesser people simply because they have less money? Fuck I'm pissed off i'm gonna stop

Because profit is regarded as more important than human rights and balance and equalness and catching up with the rest of the world

Okay, so you're pretty smart. But you wouldn't believe how many Americans believe we have drop bears.

for all your bitching, if you really gave as much of a fuck as you pretend to, you'd sell that $700 dollar mini phone and buy some windows. Don't tell me to walk in their shoes when you haven't either.

Pretty sure Nick wasn't telling you to give up what you've got, but to appreciate what you have and stop bitching - because you could be one of those kids trying to sell coconuts to foreigners to put food on your family's table at night rather than figuring out what pair of 500$ pow skis to buy for next season.

Thanks Sean, I don't understand how selling the best work tool I have to make an improvement in one place is gonna help anyone. I can't suffer enough to cure the suffering of the world, though I can share my experience and maybe turn on a bulb or 2.

Not suffering.

You don't think that you'd be helping someone if you gave them your phone?

Im sure the poor person would remember you for it and probably want to skype/keep in touch.

Im in the other persons camp agreeing that you should be giving that shit away if you are going to preach to a ski forum.

I personally empathize for the poor both abroad and all ranges of poor people domestically in our consumer based society (even what you'd call spoiled rich middle class kids on NS who despite being born white in the USA might actually have high bills/low paying jobs and noone helping them) however unlike you I don't treat visiting impoverished places like riding roller coasters like you. Give them your phone or shut the fuck up and apologize to NS for being a hypocrite.

Real poor people can't skype,Real poor people dont have address's .There is oppurtunity in the US for EVERYONE. Bums choose there path just like lawyers choose there path. NO clue kids, you all have no clue.

and speaking of "no clue", you can't even use the right form of "there". "Kids" hahahaha so funny to me when people use "kids" to describe people they do not even know.

and bums and lawyers may choose their path. But, you can not argue that the kids of the bum and the kids of the lawyer have the same opportunities.
 
Most of urban Africa has access to cell service with data. It may not be LTE, or even 3G, but you would be surprised by the number of internet capable phones in the slum towns surrounding Cape Town, Jo-berg, Freetown, Narobi, Lagos, Mogadishu, etc.

Africa needs better roads before it needs anything else right now. a set of fucking windows ain't gonna change the fucking world.

The same is true for most of the underdeveloped and developing world. Small tablet sized computers are even relatively common in North Korea. They don't exactly have access to the googles, but they do have them.

Name a company that doesn't only make sports cars (Noble or Aston Martin) that isn't owned mostly by American or German interests? I mean, you mention bailouts... British Leyland pretty much tanked itself via bailouts. they lost money on every single Mini Cooper ever made.

Mini is BMW.

MG is Chinese.

Rover is dead.

Jaguar is Indian.

Austin is Dead.

Morris is Dead.

Land Rover is Indian.

Triumph is dead and owned by BMW

Even Leyland Trucks/Tractors are Indian...

I'd call that pretty god damn dead...

If you're really this shocked by seeing this sort of thing in the DR, I suggest you see more of the world. And if you're trying to not get fucked over, don't act like a tourist and buy a coconut. Take it from a tree and split it yourself for free. Be a traveler and live amongst these people and their culture, rather than be a tourist and simply observe and then relay it on a ski website.

P.S. Sorry if I misjudged you and you're a decent guy, that comment was just a little irritating.

Apology accepted. It's funny how some you guys read into that when the only person in addressed it to was "little skier snobs" I guess that how some of you identify yourselves. In less words I could have summed it up as " Appreciate what you have because you are very lucky to be American or Canadian citizens" there are allot of other potential less desirable places your ugly mom could have shit you out of her stinky pussy.

so if a company merges or is purchased by a foreign "competitor" it is "Dead"...

gotcha.

well, any profit they make is going to go overseas instead of being spent within the UK economy.

Bruh you should've seen Haiti. I was there two years ago on a missions trip and it's like you say but even more with the earthquake they were hit with. Crumbled buildings, stairways standing by themselves going up into empty air, and don't even call the road you're walking on a "road". And I was there three years after the quake. It's the most humbling experience I have ever had. To explain the conditions that Haitians live in would be impossible.

If you live in a first world country, be thankful.

Nick knows all about haiti. He once crowdfunded earthquake aid to haiti while he was soloing the PCT.

Hey, remember that time christianity claimed condoms were immoral, which ultimately led to the deaths of millions and millions of poor, innocent, primarily african humans? Man, thank god for those christians, amirit? See, I can cherry pick too. Pointing out one relatively small example doesn't cross out all the horrific, evil shit that has happened, and is happening, because of religion. You must take your faith as the whole package - you cannot pick and choose.

For real though, the vulnerable and sub-educated (I.e. people who can't really think for themselves) are christianity's target markets.

Being charitable doesn't validate one's religious belief system, either. Pulling the charity card proves absolutely nothing, it must be said

my entire family is from haiti lol.

And we're damn proud we're the only nation built by slaves.

Annndddd most of my haitian family kind of hates white people.

So have fun helping a bunch of people that don't want white pity, and have a rich past that celebrates overthrowing your pail-skinned loser ancestors.
