Why We Hate, From The Sad
To The Pathetic

Ask the meatMetaFilter just what makes usthese United Snakes so dang "exceptional."

We haven't the time or the inclination to pick any winners for excerption. It's the usual excess, ignorance & jingoism, of course.

And we dunno if anyone got around to our favorite: "In the U.S., 100 yrs. is a long time; in Yurp 100 miles (Or those other things the furriners use instead of miles.) is a long drive."

    1. cities where streets follow a grid. And almost all streets allow cars. As a European I'm accustomed to look for the city center; a place where there are no cars, where streets are meandering, where there are terraces to sit outside and have a coffee. A place that's amenable to walking, to hanging out and enjoying the atmosphere. I did not find such a space in the american cities I've been to. And it prevented me from enjoying the place.

    This comment struck me- New York City is just starting to reclaim some "piazza" culture- large stretches of Broadway in Manhattan have been closed to motor vehicle traffic.

    Na-gunna happen in L.A. until we run out of fuel. And then people to carry the sedan chairs.
