"I was brought to the US when I was 5 on a 3 month tourist visa from Lithuania. Back in 2001 it was a shithole country. God was already telling my family it was a bad idea when we arrived at JFK 2 days before 9/11."

"Lithuania has a whole host of problems, but its young people are for the most part totally sober. They don't need drugs and alcohol, even though they partake when the opportunity arises. In America, it's necessary to be inebriated just to function in daily life."
