"I was making a point with chinton and needed a another expat to use as an example." Nice admission, though indirect, of the weakness of your argument. "just a bit off on FP " The same can not be said of some Americans in that they are way off on FP. Perhaps you can find Studs Terkel's latest article. Might be in the NYT. He's 96, still going strong, and has much to say about free speech. By yelling and screaming that one's residence somehow makes one ineligible to discuss or debate you only alienate those with different views and attract those with your own. The point being that debate is used to expand one's understanding of complex problems and eventually come to some sort of synthesis of ideas.
