That movie was awful.

And The Weather Channel has a 7 hour time alot showing adults in their 30's and 40's crowded up.

That's only what they show though, there are a bunch of colleges near the town and they go ape shit when it comes up. Mostly use those idiots who show up as the majority of their major form of tourism revenue.

I'd lose what little faith I have in the area if people the majority of people actually believe in that shit. Pretty sure it's mostly for the tradition

Eh. 9/11 really spooked a lot of people. So airplanes I understand.

Nobody claps at movies anymore unless the audience is composed of celebrities.

It's ok to make (light) jokes now. I think Bin Laden dying really helped most of the people affected move on

I think still to this day that Americans have the idea that the US is still the safest place. I do hear a lot of Americans saying it's still the greatest country in the world to live, and even if they don't say that outright, you can see it prominently in their media, news and general social behaviour. It's a rather close minded attitude deeply rooted into the average american psyche. I could easily argue that Australia is a better place to live. Australia is great, once you get past the humongous spiders, lethal snakes and drop bears.

Well the idea that America's the greatest is from the whole immigrants building the country and coming from nothing to become something. It's pretty archaic especially considering the insane poverty that prevents many from achieving any semblance of success and basically every other first world country allows people to make something of themselves arguably better than the US. That and deeply rooted patriotism that allows people to turn a blind eye to the government and practically every other part of the world, while they continue to chant USA. So much irony in this country, but it's still a nice place to live for the most part.

lol yeah, I know it's pretty creepy badass

But I'd really love to live in Australia one day. I hear the women there love American guys and I think the accent's pretty sexy

They just stopped.

Machinezo,

To be fair, though, we have a helluva lot more people than Australia. The greater the number of people, the greater the chance of crime.

Each country has their own up's and down's, and the entire world is pretty much *bleep*ed by the economy. Except for china, of course.
