Welcome and that's great, but I think you're going to be disappointed. Religious persecution is on the rise here. Not state sanctioned as a whole, but it kinda is in certain areas. Stay safe, and again welcome.

America never once disappointed me. I have been here for 30 years and I am grateful for each day I have spent in America. Let’s be grateful!

I'm on 38 (39 in a few days), and it's gotten worse for anyone not cis-white- male Christian and their affiliates since I've paid attention. Not saying it's horrible, just please watch yourself with the way things have been going lately. There's a lot a hateful people out there and they seem to be outing themselves daily. I'm glad you've had a good experience. Anything cool as shit you've done/witnessed/experienced while here?

Edit: Love being downvoted for speaking truth with no ill intentions. It's a badge of honor on this hellhole of a website.

Have literally experienced the exact OPPOSITE. Don't take all of these comments above as the truth about America.

How about we are both heard equally and shown abundant compassion? gif

Sounds good to me. Thankfully the reddit population is not indicative of America at large.

What was Egypt like back when you left? And what ultimately made you leave? I'm woefully ignorant of a lot of world history. And no worries if the answers are too personal to share.
