What is the "real world?" Is it where there is war? Is it where there are gangs? Is it where there is a lot of violence against the citizens, such as rape and robbery? Is it where there are suicide bombers? Somebody please define it.

I think this attitude is why most people in foreign countries tend to hate America. They look at us as not living in what they consider the "real world" and they want to kill us for it. They, like Mr. Grouch, don't mind coming here for what America has to offer, and when they have taken all they can from the American experience, they go home and talk about how horrible America is. I think it's time for Mr. Grouch to go home and hate us from afar.
