This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

A small price to pay for Christianity, Liberty, and Prosperity
The secret to it being affordable, doesn't mean it can't be done any other way. Authoritarian government also helped a lot in getting it done this fast but still doesn't mean it can't be done. Just not as fast and as cheap as China did.
