This thread shows too much negativity, leg pulling and distrust in general.
It's possible that the person starting the thread is a person going to college in a suburb and does not have too many contacts with other immigrants. It's possible that the person got married and got hold of green card and is not sure how it impacts his/her travel.
Some people for whom Green card means a lot feels like the question is the height of ignorance, but it may surprise them to know that Green card is not as important to everyone.
To the original poster, once you have a green card it means you have a green light to enter the US as and when you please. You may or not know it, but if you have a green card you need to come back to the US within 6 months, unless you have a very good reason to stay away. They will allow you to stay out for maximum of 1 year but you need to prove that you want to be a US resident if you want to keep your green card. After 5 years you can apply to become a US citizen if you don't want to deal with such restrictions.
