Where is everyone from?

I'm from the US.. I think you've all got the stereotypes of me and my country, and you're probably half right about all of them.

I live in the country - Virginia. Where there is whole forests between most houses, and when we do see our neighbors we either say hello or ignore them completely. But I also am not far from big cities where the only privacy you get is to close a door to the room you just walked in.

I listen to rock music, and I ride a Harley Davidson motorcycle. I wear a leather vest, have a beard, and probably look like a giant a-hole that some parents would tell their kids to stay away from. But I also am a parent to a 3 year old who is learning to keep an open mind, and I also used to be a firefighter who would have given his life to save your child who would run away from me.

I live in a country whose filled with hate, and I disagree with many policies that come from today's government that runs it. But I do my part and vote when I can, and try to make it a better place to live in, because I love this beautiful country.

Just like your countries, I'm sure, the world sees it as a bad place - but its my place!
