Fact: maternity leave in the US is 6 weeks, in Romania is 24 months.

24 months??? Who would want to be out of work for 2 friggin years? It's a pregnancy, not a terminal illness.

I disagree. It's exactly this attitude, Americans thinking that America is the "new world" make most people hate America and/or Americans. I believe its simply called love and when two people are in l

After moving to Russia in large part to be with my SO, I love America so much more. I love that my daughters's job prospects don't depend on her looks and that my sons won't have to join the military

Really?

Yes, really.

Yeah well you said 6 weeks. Clearly the fact is that it's 12 weeks. Sorry if American women like to support their spouses and their households, and make their own money by holding jobs. *gasp* God forbid!

No, it is "UP TO" 12 weeks. Do you know the difference?

Don't be silly, it is better to be supported by someone else and save your own money. :dance:

No, I don't love the US (America is a continent, not a country), but, alas, sometimes you have to make some sacrifices in life.

We will leave the US to those Mexicans that are so eager, my goal is Europe.

I'll have you know I am not racist, I hate everyone without discrimination.

Do you even know what "racist" means or are you really trying to prove the stereotype of the uneducated American true?

And seriously, there is no comparaison between me and the average illegal immigrant, I am not coming from a poor family/uneducated background.

I'll say it again:

You should just apologize and move on now.

There is a difference between expressing opinion and offering facts.

Fact: maternity leave in the US is 6 weeks, in Romania is 24 months.

Opinion: most American women are feminists.

And you can't even dismiss the opinion because it said "most" not "all".

The big problem here is reading comprehension.. They can't differentiate from "most" or "all"..

I have a month paid vacation, and a month of sick days paid at 80%.

Sounds like you're on way to becoming the next Greece.

I do. I'd rather stay home and raise my child and be paid, than send it to daycare and go back to work and have my child taken care of by strangers.

I've known many, many more "feminine women" from Central America and Asia that cheat and lie. It happens EVERYWHERE in the world.

Yes, of course it happens everywhere in the world, but IT IS NOT ACCEPTED as a social norm.

It is becoming MORE and MORE accepted in the USA because of one simple reason: the losing grip of religion.

In Latin America, women are still brought up in the Catholic religious ways. This does not guarantee that cheating will not happen, but the STANDARD is there.

The same can be said of the Philippines and Buddhist countries in Southeast Asia.

The difference is MORALITY is still respected, while in the USA, that thought of MORALITY is frowned upon (heck, any type of prayer has been taken out of the schools). When you have no standard/no morals, you have no lines to cross, and you're more free to choose the hedonistic carefree lifestyle that the 70's generation dreamed. I mean having a Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian (two women who have shown themselves having sex in films) as role models? Give me a break.

It is my opinion. It is my observation. If it hurts too much for you, perhaps I may have hit some truths, because as the old saying goes, TRUTH hurts.

Not really, other countries in Europe have the same system. Scandinavian ones have it even better.

You're well within your rights to do that. Just don't expect me to pick up the tab.

Really?

Okey, I am starting to understand why educated American look for companionship someplace else. Not to sound insulting, but you have some severe lacking when it comes to comprehending some simple things.

You're well within your rights to do that. Just don't expect me to pick up the tab.

Well, I paid into those money, just like one would into unemployment. So it ain't anyone's tab but mine.
