28 days of vacation per year... This means I can have a nice summer vacation and Christmas/New Year to go back home as well.
My philosophy is work to live, don't live to work.

I don't know where you are from, but it sounds like you are not US grown but European grown. I like your style and I fully support your philosophy.
I'm gonna risk a ban to say that a lot of US grown people I have met have some really fucked up priorities in life.

I wouldn't say, that this is f... up, but I reckon this very point is the most important diffference between the US and European countries.
And this basic point leads to all the arguments - may it be health care, economy, social politics: This huge difference is the origin.

I agree that it may not be fucked up, but it is very anti-social different. However even by US standards anti-social is automatically labeled as some form of fucked up and they really make that clear, so I guess I have them to blame if I label their anti-social behavior as fucked up instead of just saying different. Too much has rubbed off on me it seems.
P.S. It's also very anoying to hear how their world view made hem the number one country when it had nothing to do with it. It was all blind luck and huge borrowing and debt accruing.

So you don't believe that hard work and the winner mentality of the American nation had anything to do with them becoming one of the greatest super-powers in history?
