    Hey watch it!!

    My favorite Baseball team plays in that same stadium as the shit football team and I played my High School Baseball Championship game in that stadium.

    Also the local basketball team, who has won 3 of the past 5 NBA championships, plays in the arena next door.

    When John Carpenter began filming Escape From New York (1981) he chose East St Louis for its post-apocalyptic landscape

    Why is America such a shit hole?

    It hasn't even had a war on it's own soil since some Yankees and howling rebels fought a long time ago. Hasn't been levelled with bombs like Europe.

    What's your excuse? :tearsofjoy:

    Bombed up building in Europe, preserved as a WW2 monument.

    Bombed up building in America, all good that's just Cleveland.

    Turkey is full of barbarian people.

    But what makes people barbarian also is low living standards. Money problems have a lot to do with it.

    If you go to low living standard neighborhoods, it is full of pyschos. I would be afraid to piss them off, make them angry.

    We have 40 million citizens who live in poverty and five million who live in absolute deprivation, and yet one out of every four billionaires in the world live in America.

    It’s about the haves and have-nots, and the haves keep getting richer, and the have-nots keep getting poorer.

    subjectively, emotionally, my last year of high school, the last six months of the last year of high school, living with my parents in a really crappy appartment after living for almost four years on a peice of land morgaged to them, even with a lot of easements accross it that we couldn't build anything directly on.

    well having to live with anyone is always the worst for me, even compared to the times i've been homeless.
    only reason i ever stayed was because it was easier, always easier to put up with whatever is there, then subjecting your self to the risks of attempting to change.

    the air force was actually pretty good in a lot of ways, though i'm kind of glad i didn't make a twenty year career out of it.
    i still wish i'd had the balls to run away to canada, but then again that may be only a matter of the grass always being greener on the road not taken.

    why is america a shit hole?
    because of its cultural willingness to spill blood, usually someone else's, to make and keep everything having to be about money.
    not that spilling blood for some other ideology would have to be better, but how about just not spilling any blood that wasn't either directly attacking, or at least good to eat?

    because of a culture that makes personal aggrandisment a higher priority, then avoiding the extinction of the species,
    then even the kind of world we have to experience living in, every time we walk out the doors of our personal cacoons.

    a true civilization would appreciate the value of beautiful places that can be shared and enjoyed by everyone,
    and many other parts of the world seem to do so. although i've noticed, over the past several decades,
    a creeping increase of spray can tagging everywhere.

    but that and belligerent and me first attitudes i blame largely on u.s. influence too.

    i think, i hope, the rest of the world will wake up and realize how much of a pariah, the u.s. has become,
    or conversely and better yet, the u.s. wake up and get itself a conscience and stop being one.

    I call bullshit on that. (The some parts of America are a shithole because you have poor people, part)

    I have been to some third world countries. You dont have to have money to clean up after yourself, not graffiti, not wreck or burn down abandoned buildings
