Yep. Remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.

I didn’t start the comparison. It was the OP who said “We are the Florida of the world.”

Japan might be the expert: Totally decimated in WWII, including two nuclear bombings. Earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, volcanic eruptions. Fukushima diaster. Tokyo Sarin gas attack. Economic crash, ageing population, mass suicides.

I don’t see how America is special relative to “the world”. Many countries have gone through much more than that.

It is more like saying that if you survived a stroke, you will live forever.

Are you saying that the country has survived through things, so you don’t worry any more? Not sure if I understand your logic.

I think flirting is like the prologue of an RPG, in many cases the best part.
