    I never understood the American obsession with cheap structures. You even see houses made of wood there FFS.

    I just read the bridge was controlled last year. That's not good. Either they didn't do their job or the demands are ridiculously low. You can prevent this, you know.
    Try building a house out of bricks here and see what happens :D

    I'd drive over an American bridge hundreds of times before I consider taking a ride on a third-world ferry, if that's any measure... :shifty:

    Particularly an issue in Minnesota, where the termites are 2 meters long and eat small children.
    Well, they are tasty...

    :lol2:

    This is George Bush's fault.
    Nah, this bridge collapse is due to the imbecilic Liberals who pollute the world with engineering errors, among other things. If more Republicans were in Minneapolis, that bridge would not have collapsed. Forza wars.

    The greatest league in the world starts next weekend so everything will be ok :)
    Hear hear! The football played in England is by far the greatest, and every kick of the ball in England will wipe away sorrows and build more bridges across the world. The Premiership is the best and will turn tears to joy when we kick off on August 11th.
