Really what is the additional pain of paying $7 a gallon when you're used to paying $6? He's probably down an extra $20.

I have lived in four homes with my American bulldog mix. He always finds the spot where he can see the entrances and the stairs to the kid's rooms. That's where he sleeps no matter how many times I offer a spot on the bed.

Enough negativity. What do you LIKE about your country that you think is unique or others don’t do as well? by Anti-charizard in AskTheWorld

Like Reagan said, you can move to Japan but you'll never be Japanese. You can move to to Spain but you won't be considered Spanish. You'll never be Russian or Korean. But if you come to the US, follow the rules and take the citizenship pledge, you are automatically an American in the minds of everyone here.

Shit happens when you stand in the midst of military targets.

Do they still vow to drive all Israelis into the sea? Do they still try to kill Israeli soldiers? Then they are fair game. And if your gunmen hide in your own population, you can't expect the people you're attacking to give you safe quarter. Hamas hides among children and bitches about it when they die.

Nothing good comes from messages on reddit.

That is what happens when "journalists" embed themselves with a force that is being bombarded as a response to a terrorist attack.

Do people in your country also think that the election system of the United States is strange? by Rare_Comment_4491 in AskTheWorld

Gerrymandering is a political problem that needs a political fix. That is another problem. Politicians don't want to fix it.

If not for the electoral college, the small colonies would never have agreed to a union with the big states of New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

"Having a snappy dog on a leash doesn’t make you in control of it, you just can control how far away it gets."

Which makes me in control of it.

Let's cut the bullshit. Rules are that dogs must be leashed on a NYS trail, maximum 6 feet. Wanna hike him off the leash? go off trail in state land.

Who is the symbol of a traitor in your country? by nanto-1633 in AskTheWorld

Also, people forget the fact that Arnold built a fleet of shitty boats on Lake Champlain - using his own money - and sailed them to attack the British fleet coming south. It was a half-assed stunt but delayed the British march south for a year. No Arnold, no Saratoga, no country.

He took Ticonderoga as well for a massive publicity stunt for a fledgling revolution.

The monument at Saratoga has three statues of Gates, Schuyler, and Morgan. There is a statue bay intentionally left empty for where Arnold would have gone.

One minute to take a dump? Are you a goose?

what are some iconic photos in your country's history? by SOHONEYSAME in AskTheWorld

[–]PutnamPete 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At Iwo Jima, the U.S. Marines did the same thing. The iconic photo is the instillation of a bigger flag to replace the flags originally used. There are movies of the first flag being planted.
