Something, Something, Paradise. June 29, 2016. June 29, 2016. Who fabricates it and who believes in it? You can see this just in the way we expect people who live in such places to learn English in order to better serve us, while making no effort to learn their native language other than a handful of swear words and whatever translates to Another beer, please!

Your aspiration bar is now glowing platinum! It’s too bad the real world doesn’t work that way. Does one need to underachieve in order to think someone else overachieves? Harder, we would.
