Yep.

You can walk into any store that sells weapons in many states in America
on the day you turn 18 and buy enough arms and ammo to start your own
revolution and not only are there no laws preventing you from doing so
but no red flags are tripped anywhere as to why any random 18 year old
might be doing that, but if you get caught sitting in a park on a nice
sunny afternoon minding your own business while you enjoy a quiet beer
and a smoke then you'll be arrested because you're breaking the law.

Well, you'll be arrested if you're white. If you're black they'll fire a
warning shot through your head and claim that you didn't comply.

I wonder sometimes if we just get the bad news from the US which paints
a pretty bad picture, we don't hear about anything other than bad news
so our view of the place is tainted?
Mate is over there at the moment visiting family so it will be
interesting to hear what he has to say when he gets back.

The point keith is making is that the legal drinking age in the US is 21.

They would have you believe that but that is not as black and white as
you might think, pardon the pun.

The BLM movement would do well to consider that the overwhelming number
of black deaths are at the hands of blacks.

it's their culture you moron. the US has always had a 'God and gun'
culture. as I heard Andrew Peacock once say when remarking on the
difference between the USA and Oz .. "The United States was settled by
men with a gun in one hand and a bible in the other. It's a culture we

Possibly, but then some of the news coming out of the place is so
astonishingly ridiculous you have to wonder how much good there can
actually be. I'm sure there are many great things about the US, but the
bad stuff just seems to be overpowering....

I was thinking about going over next year to do a bit of a tiki tour of
some of the places I've always wanted to see as well as buy a couple of
classic cars but I don't think I'll bother now. The place is in such an
absolute mess that I don't know if I want to be anywhere near it.

Know what you mean, I've never been there and there are some places in
the US that I'd like to visit but not any time soon.
We also want to go back to the UK and Europe but that won't be for a
while, hopefully someone will put a bullet in Putins head and things
might slowly get back to normal.

I was there for a little while many years ago and generally enjoyed it,
but it was a different place then than it appears to be now. What I'd
like to do this time is see all the things that I didn't last time like
the Smithsonian, the Air Force Museum, the Henry Ford Museum, and other
things like that. However given the current fucked up mess the country,
and other parts of the world, are in at the moment I'm in no hurry.

Sure you were Fraudster. I believe you. Who could forget this classic that
your (snicker) 'visit' inspired?

"I enjoy *very* fine food and don't mind paying a pretty penny for it...".

I certainly can't forget it, or laughing like a crazed Kooka at it.

I enjoyed the time that we lived there, but, obviously, we decided that
we'd rather live here. We could have stayed indefinitely as we had green
cards, we were going to stay until I retired, but an opportunity came up
that was too good to ignore. I've been back a number of times since both
for work and holiday, we have visited 16 of the states in all. In all of
that, I've never felt threatened at any time, despite dire warnings from
paranoid locals, and have found the cops universally friendly and
helpful (being a middle aged white guy probably helped with that.)

I don't blame you. As much as I thought some parts of the US that I
visited were pretty cool (Southern California), I wouldn't want to live
there.

You're living in the best country in the world right here.

No doubt.

It was well over 30 years ago since I was there, but the thing I found
most fascinating about the US was the level of segregation. It was
never official as far as I could tell but there were certain places that
blacks and whites just simply didn't mix. Buses you didn't ride on or
parts of the city you didn't visit if you were white and wanted to
survive, or areas where if you were black you simply didn't venture into
out of fear of being racially profiled and arrested as a matter of course.

I don't know what it's like now but at the time in Los Angeles it was
terrible, and being a white Aussie coming from a country that some seem
to think has a "racist" problem it was a culture shock in the extreme.
