Seriously- 9 months ago I could have gone to AZ, NZ, anywhere with open borders in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, South America, Europe, and even Canada if I had been desperate enough.
When the pandemic is over, an American passport will once again allow me to go 'pretty much anywhere'.
- Great Britain has the comical Brexit and all the Nationalism that has gone with it. That have that goof of a leader too.
- Russia has Putin, Oligarchs, and corruption beyond computation.
- China has human rights violations, totalitarian government, and so much more to be embarrassed for.
- South America and Central America have continued corruption, unstable governments, unstable economies, and nationalism in many countries.
- Africa has countless countries that are rife with corruption, human rights abuses, terrorism, and more.
- Europe is littered with countries that have rampant corruption and nationalism beyond belief.
- The Middle East is...nope, too much there.
Point is- this world is full of countries that are absolute crapshows. Trump has managed to accelerate the US being a joke in some aspects, but lets not pretend like we are the joke of the world.
Glass houses and whatnot.

I am content with my view on shaming in modern culture and am not sore. Lions disagrees with me, cool. I appreciate that Lions was willing to post opinion/commentary instead of, you know, only posting some headlines.

4. The answer is 4. 3 in Europe and 1 in Central America. And while the Central American country is technically North America, it was culturally more different than the European countries so I'm counting it for your question.
So now that we have established me as a basically the love child of Carmen Sandiego and Marco Polo, why did you want to know how many countries I have been to?
Also, what is the proper number for my opinion to have value in your mind?

Personally, I have enjoyed Bruce Willis and Clint Eastwood movies, but I doubt they have any substantial guidance for society at large. I guess I could be wrong.

My observation of "community leaders" is that they are people who talk other people into giving them money for doing nothing but talking. The phrase, "Waste of oxygen" comes to mind.

Or you could, you know, actually discuss the links you constantly plaster here without comment. Its a wild idea, but it just may be good to try.

Here is the deal- You post links without any opinion or commentary and are effectively a glorified news bot.. Anyone who has managed to find their way to an obscure forum on a bike site can easily just google for news articles.
The forum thrives with discussion.
I clearly struck a nerve with pointing out how you continually offer no commentary. Change or dont change, do what you wish.
