Addendum:

That said, the American middle-class enjoys a day-to-day level of pleasures that far exceed those of most Europeans. This was driven home (once again) while watching the documentary “Devil’s Playground” where both renegade Amish and non-Amish kids in the middle of buttfuck Indiana are rolling around in great rides, partying ‘till they drop and generally having a great time. The whole idea of American-style ‘fun’ is so above the average EU citizen’s conception as to seem surrealistic.

So there you go: the grass really is greener on the other side of the street. The problem is that once you get there, the same thing operates in reverse. So bloom where you’re planted, guys, and keep rocking on! The planet would be an even sadder place without the Americans.

In other words, it’s dry-yellowish-brown on both sides. :D
