No but it always surprises me how many emigrants still feel the need to express their strong opinion on our government and nation as whole despite being gone for 10 or more years and don't plan to come back. If I successfully emigrated I think I would be happy that I am happy and focused on my new country. No, these people, whenever something bad happens, they have to enter discussions all high and mighty bragging how they escaped and how endlessly happy they are.
