Hey so, as a lib- America is pretty great and I love living here. It has some massive issues but also really is one of the best countries in the world and we should be proud of that. All countries have massive problems.

I obviously think our government is a truly DESPICABLE representation of a small percent of our population and the world has responded accordingly. Hell the tourism numbers from other countries dropped by almost 6% (highest drop since the recession in 2009) in 2025- with that said, its refreshing to see the people of the world enjoy and appreciate the things that make the States awesome.
Sounds gay.

This trailer for "life goes on" explains why my earlier post was "gay" or has anything to do with those who have "mental retardation?" I'm confused. Will you explain it for me?

I've had three Hawkeye posters ask me to ignore him because he's an insane troll who according to them, gets continually banned and creates new usernames. I went a few rounds with him to encourage him to leave but he ignored it. You should too ;-)

Well, to be fair, @hawkweyetraveler believes a 60-year-old-man IS A WOMAN because he says he is.

I'm tempted to stay in S Florida for a couple extra days to go witness this at Marlins Park

Three things:

1. It’s easy to take for granted how great of a country we live in regardless of politics.

2. America has never stopped being great. That was true when Obama was president and is still true even with Mango Mussolini in the WH.

3. The rest of the world is beginning to realize many of them would also be fat and needing a better healthcare system if they lived here too.

World Cup fans from around the world are wowed by United States​


Trump's United States.... lmfao...

“I’d like to do a wee video to the people of Boston, just to say thank you,” one woman who traveled with the Tartan Army, a nickname for Scotland’s supporters, said in one viral post, tearing up as she spoke.

“The America we are experiencing is the one we were promised growing up. We were apprehensive about coming, we were expecting to be met by ICE, you know the political climate we all see on the news, and that could not be further from the truth of what we’ve actually experienced,” she added, referencing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.


As their teams competed in group stage matches, fans in cities including Kansas City, Atlanta and Seattle have expressed joy at eating at breakfast chains like Waffle House or said their minds have been blown walking through big box warehouse stores like Bass Pro Shops and Walmart.

One man from England posted a video from inside a Walmart reveling at the fact he could purchase car parts, a flat-screen television and a rifle all under one roof.

But the biggest point of chatter among tourists from around the world has been the quality and quantity of food options in the U.S.


Some said they were surprised to see soft drinks come with ice and free refills or posted videos with their mouths agape as servers brought entrees to the table.

“I think American food is very tasty, but it has a lot of calories, man,” one World Cup traveler told CBS News.

“THIS IS THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN FOOD EVER. THE SAUCE MANNN,” wrote Scotland supporter Blair McNally after visiting a Raising Cane’s in Boston. “WE NEED THIS IN THE UK!!”


One of the most popular items among foreign visitors has turned out to be ranch dressing, prompting the Transportation Security Administration to issue a warning to travelers reminding them that the condiment is technically a liquid.

“If you’re visiting for a very large sporting event & you happen to discover RANCH while you’re here… pls pack it in your CHECKED BAG on the way home,” the agency wrote on social media.

“My advice to Europeans is simple, be prepared to come back considerably heavier than when you went out there,” one online influencer who traveled to the U.S. for the World Cup said in a recent post. “When I tell you the food is good in America, I have to go on a weight loss bootcamp every time I come home.”

I realize that. But kilts certainly LOOK LIKE skirts. Pleated skirts, but skirts all the same. I believe the fashion dictate is to go commando under a kilt. Is that correct? Perhaps we should consult JinxyPat about this.
