I'll be getting the hell out of here as soon as I'm done with school and all that. Your laws are just auwful. From traffic to drinking, and now even tobacco.
I think you're great. I've spent a lot of time overseas and down south (by down south I dont mean grit country)...I cant tell you how many times I have wished I was from somewhere other than here.
And, for the record I dont think that you would be considered an "FOB". I think the people they;re talking about are people who come here, never bother learning the language or way of life, and just take up space. You seem to be an educated individual who is probably safe from being labeled that way.
