Must be nice to be able to comment on American politics when you don't live in America.

You live in a better country than mine by any metric so it doesn't really matter.

I didn't imply that. I just meant that it must be nice to be able to watch from afar and not be affected by anything that goes on here. Really makes it easy for you to form your opinions when you're not affected by anything.

Pretty heavy ****.

Clapper: US institutions 'under assault' - CNNPolitics.com

Not really. See stuff and react to it.

Stones, glass houses, etc. etc.

Kinda like the general American attitude towards the rest of the world. Salty bitch :love:

Well yes. I'm just being salty for the sake of being salty.

Name a metric that the UK is better than the US.

We have Trump. And Florida.

You lose, Goof.

I think a lot of Americans underestimate the horrors of crime and the disintegration of the schools in the U.K. But in the pits of America's worst areas it's a lot worse. Parts of Baltimore, Detroit, DC, Atlanta, and of course, Chicago are so ****ing unlivable. I know getting jacked in London hurts just as much as in New York and dead is dead but even so.

Also, don't underestimate how horrible our healthcare system is if you're poor. Turned away, left to die, and still put in bankruptcy.

And while I'm at it, our penal system. For profit torture chambers. Anal rape for marijuana possession and then they charge you for it and make it almost impossible to work again.

If you're still in decent health life is probably better for the young working poor in America.

Maybe.

Tuition rates. If it's as bad in the U.K. I'm sorry to hear that.

The metric system. They have it.

:clap:

Brilliant. But doesn't the U.K. have some stupid way of using both systems?

quality post

Yeah. You're probably right.

Months later, still trying to wrap my head around the fact that the former CEO of Exxon Mobil Oil is the current Secretary of State of the United States of America.

Because of all of the mud in the water we've all lost focus on this disturbing fact. Trump's become an absolute master of crapping on the wall with fresh streaming crap to make us forget about the crap that was slung on the wall last week.

He's bloody brilliant!

It's all about keeping a low profile, I'm sure. He's going to try to avoid revealing that info as much as possible so any sign of him even helping Russia at all would be a bad move. That's just my thought anyway.

Also I'm high so if that makes no sense, well **** it.

Make sure you're always too high to make much sense so as to not hurt your mystique as an artist.

Well...if even a top columnist at The New York Times thinks collusion is unlikely, you know that ship is sunk.

Only for pints. Nobody's gonna say "Give us seventy-five centilitres of beer then ' Arry", or whatever.

Miles tend to still get used for speed and even distance, but other than that mostly it's all about the metric system now. 'Murica's behind the times.

^ I don't know what you base that opinion on, Goofle, but it can't be on the statistics I've just gleaned from Wikipedia:-

Yes, the USA invented jazz and Bob Dylan, and they put a man on the moon, but that shouldn't cloud our judgement. Also, let's not forget that they still owe us the tax on all that tea they threw into Boston Harbour!

How about the "Holy sh*t I live in America" rate?

But I'm happy to concede that I kinda overlooked stuff like that when making my original post. But there's obviously individual accountability that comes with those stats.

Goof getting owned by Lisna is such a nice thing to see.

Owned by myself more than anything. Nothing Lisna said should change anybody's mind considering they are pretty much entirely a result of personal choice.

Personal choice to do what?

Life expectancy is a personal choice? Do you realize how ****ing insensitive that is?

well that too but i figured that was obvious

****

It's so insane I couldn't get what he was saying.

Being murdered is a personal choice? Trump might even have trouble selling that to his base. Just kidding.

It's insensitive to point out that eating and living unhealthily may result in a poor life expectancy?

You do something that may result in you getting arrested... You're probably gonna get arrested bro.

The only category that is arguably not related to personal experience is the homicide rate, but I'd guess a lot of that isn't a result of randomly walking down the street minding your own business.

This is so naive.
