When I was 21 I went to a football game in college station. When we were leaving the bar that night they wouldn’t give me a to go cup. I had no idea that was a Louisiana thing

It's amazing that people do this shite. From cigarette butts, to diapers to whatever you can think of, you will see it on the side of the road in LA. I just don't understand it. I would vote for a candidate for governor if his sole platform was to clean up the state literally and figuratively.
People who do that don't feel like they're part of a community. They see themselves as (?) guests, or maybe interlopers, in the white oppressor's community. They thus don't feel compelled to contribute to or maintain this community.
It's really pretty sad.

Americans are very loud people.
If you’re on a crowded monorail train in Bangkok the loudest person on there is more likely than not an American.
We can be extremely rude and arrogant people when it comes to not respecting or following other countries customs.

Have you ever been around Chinese people? That’s why I’m not sure if I believe your Bangkok story.

Took several TX to Pagosa Springs trips and thought the same thing. Everything from Roswell to the CO border is eye opening.

It was actually what I noticed after coming home from a summer in Europe. Everything in the US seems so cheap and temporary.

Another eye opener was the variety of retail goods for sale up and and down every street.
Talk about eye opening....Was the orange "retail good" in the upper right returned after being opened?

I am still shocked at how many people don’t see these globalist entities like the EU, US government for what they are. Do they think that these immigration “crises” just happened organically out of the blue. They were planned and specifically initiated by these authoritarian bureaucrats. These assholes aren’t the solution. They are the problem that needs to be taken care of
I just watched a series on this and came back extremely unnerved. People have no idea what is happening around them. Europe is unrecognizable and in 20-30 years they will be the minority in many parts of their host countries. It’s already happened in some areas. These immigrants are breeding like crazy while white people are encouraged to not have kids. The goal is to replace white people and they are succeeding. What happened in Russia and Germany in the early 20th century is happening in this country right now. Jewish Marxists have been the disrupters the whole time. They don’t even hide it. Kids and grandkids are going to be fighting for their lives in their own countries

Everything being built anywhere right now is cheap and temporary.

Going to Europe. I have been to 7 countries, and was amazed by the cleanliness, the pride in personal appearance, the perception of it being a safe area, and the overall general positive vibe.

High school Spanish club trip to Mexico City. Getting there early in the morning I notice on the ledges of buildings had broken glass bottles set up on these ledges. Asked our Spanish teacher and it was to keep the burglars away.

Went to israel and realized it’s an apartheid shithole run by nazis

My recent trip to Los Angeles opened my eye to the fact that internet rumors of LA being a shithole were indeed true, and probably too kind.
Its third worldish. Seattle is bad, but still has some decent areas. LA has no redeeming qualities. All the good parts of the metro are outside of LA.

Flimsy construction, very little planning, everything seems ad hoc. In Europe there are buildings that have stood for a thousand years. Here, buildings barely seem to make it 50 years. Little wood frame houses here, sagging and in disrepair compared to stone structures in Europe. Strip malls and crazy signage that just looks trashy like Veterans, Airline, etc...

If the USA had been around then, we would have building still standing today.
Construction is virtually the same today wherever you go.

I've never once saw a bank in a double-wide in Europe. I'll never forget the first time I saw a bank in a double wide on Pinhook in Lafayette. I couldn't believe anyone would ever make a deposit there.
