Re: WTF in America

That is the polite way of putting it.

Guns make us safer. Or something. And a visiting Brit died too.

Re: WTF in America

Even in a very liberal city like San Francisco I see this attitude. And woe betide you each and every time bike lanes are added or parking spots removed for bike sharing etc.

Re: WTF in America

I never order black tea in the US because it's always going to be a teabag in some warm - not hot - water. The reality is that you need boiling water and you need to let it steep - love that word -...
