I concur.
One thing I truly appreciate about the adult industry is the travel opportunities it has provided me. I know for a fact that experiencing so many other cultures has tremendously opened my eyes. I look back at friends I've known for 20+ years who still work the same shitty jobs and run in the same exact circles. Their idea of travel is an overnight trip to the beach and most of them act about the same as they did 20 years ago. While I still consider them to be friends, I can see their lack of individual growth and attribute most of that to living in their own bubble.
On my first trip to the UK & EU I met up with a former GFYer and we traveled together. My immaturity shined through and although he never mentioned it to me, somebody else who has already posted in this thread, later told me that is why the other person no longer speaks to me. That feedback alone made me take a hard look at myself and I matured a bit because of it.
Yes, most Americans are "dumb, arrogant, gun-toting misanthrops with a comically horrible grasp on geography and world news." Although what I find comical is the guy initially calling Americans dumb misspelling misanthropes.
