What has this world come to?

Would Neil Armstrong walking on the moon be in both pictures or just one?

If I exluded news and media reports, I would look less psychotic in the other puzzle pieces. Fewer dark circles under my eyes, fewer black rifles at my side.

If the world had a few less assholes taking money out of my pockets or threatening to bomb us, I would probably be a nice upstanding citizen in your puzzle piece example.

I feel like that guy from Clockwork Orange who is having his eyes forced open.

I like the common British person.

They're good, sturdy people.

I don't like the posh Southerners though. They fail to recognize it's the common Englishman who makes their country great.

English town councils have a habit of knocking down old buildings which people love and building either a car park, student accommodation or a supermarket.

Imagine going to a pub or a cinema all your life, classy well built buildings full of memories, then one day you go there and instead of the pub or cinema being there it's another car park, red brick student housing building or big name supermarket.

I heard about that 800 year old pub that closed during the pandemic.

Damn shame. It's one of my dreams to visit a real pub in the UK once in my life. Connect with my ancestors, if you will.

Sounds silly, but it's all part of the American identity crisis.

The Cotswolds or the Lake District is the place to be. Going back in time to the good old days is very expensive though.

Yeah, the Cotswolds look nice.

My family comes from Devon (ironic considering I just said I don't like Southerners) so it would be nice to see that area.

Devon and Cornwall are nice too.

The UK is not like the US where there's huge signs everywhere telling you where to go and a certain standard you come to expect.

Maybe that's the reason why Americans are disappointed when they go to the UK because they had to think for themselves for a change and walk to places and try new things. That and the lack of creature comforts.

Those Americans are retarded.

They're the types who eat at McDonald's if they visit another country.
