Andy can't hate every single Azzurri fan in the World :D
I'm not an Azzurri fan, just a sympathizer. The States and Juventus are the only teams I am a fan of
No, it's not bad when you're young. It just goes to show there are no laws in this country. just do whatever the hell you want. Sometimes it's great. I mean, I can go and light up a big blunt in the middle of the city and nothing would happen. But then I can get shot in the head right there and still nothing would happen. It's crazy.
That lawlessness is pretty frightening but even in a country with laws and ample police I still don't feel safe in many parts of surrounding cities. I wouldn't be surprised to get shot in the head around here, the only benefit I have is that since I am white the American police actually care if I get murdered. I can light a blunt anywhere I want too, cannabis is illegal but the police ignore it since it is so popular in the area
lol

lol, that is far different than here. Before I was 18 I had to learn which gas stations and smoke shops sold to minors to buy anything tobacco or smoking related. I still have to use a fake ID to buy alcohol and if I get another DUI I will lose my license for a year and have to pay a huge fine.

To top it all off I get carded for buying M rated video games, land of the free my ass
Don't drink and drive, but yeah I lived in Boston for a year while being under 21 and I had to do almost impossible stuff to buy alcohol, get into clubs etc

Me too, have you considered it?
Yeah, I want to go somewhere kinda out of the way and neutral in terms of world affairs. It's either there or somehere like Greece.

I don't often drive super drunk or anything but if you under 21 any alcohol on your breath is a DUI, I don't really even try to get into clubs, house parties are fine for now

The difference is the impunity, in the first world if a crime gets done you can go to the local authorities and get some kind of answer, here people just don't go to the authorities anymore to get help because they just don't do anything, more than 80% of crimes don't get reported to the authorities because the murderers, thieves, etc. won't even get caught

Wow, that really is the same country. When shit happens to you, you wither deal with it yourself or do nothing... Unless you're very rich and have a lot of influence.

Some of us don't, including Kyle which I think likes the US NT; personally I hope you do great in the WC

And very bad for the citizens, we're allowed to spend only $3000 per year abroad
Most fanboys of other nations have an incredible knack for being arrogant, mindless drones who always claim that their adopted football nation is better than ours. While that is probably the case on the pitch, I have a right to not accept them as true fans, because they are not, by definition of international football.

And more government interference with capital markets is just nonsense, but since most don't understand economic issues, they blame it on the free market. What morons.

So I hear. They actually want people to come and work. I'm learning to be a pilot. You actually considered too?
Yes, industrial engineers are highly demanded there, plus being bilingual and under 30 makes me a great prospect :tup:
The only problem is that I wanna get my graduate degree from a school like MIT and they don't have those in Australia

Here that used to be the case but now since Chavez hates rich people they're screwed too, the only people who have influence right now are those who are high government officials

Of course they don't understand economy, they're animals who say capitalism is bad and socialism is the way to go

The kind of lawlessness is frightening. It is much safer in the States but in poor urban areas various crimes and violence are still a huge problem and the police do little to help especially in cases where the poor and minorities are the victims.

That is awesome, have you gotten to fly anything yet?

I'm happy and somewhat surprised to see you feel that way. I assumed because of your liberal tendencies you would be in support of a stronger government with more influence in the economy. I hate government control of both social and economic issues, we need a libertarian government IMO
