Bad drivers? Try Phoenix. Would you believe 134MPH clocked on the photo radar? Bear in mind this is city not rural. Tons of fatalities daily.

Is Phoenix still listed as "In America" or has it been re-annexed into the States of Mexico?

FYI - Mexico is "In America" - "Central America" to be exact. We Americans are the only ignorant egocentric people that truly believe the world revolves around us and English is the only language spoken around the world or the most popular by refusing to learn other languages like most other countries and civiliazations do AND making fun of others... if only we can set this ego aside and turn it into "pride".. this Continent would be a much better place to live and would not have to be moving around looking for a decent place to live every 5 years.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do~speak Italian.

Parkston, So. Dak. has to be the most backward, rude town I've ever been to. Their usual way of greeting someone in a restaurant is,"Good, you're here. Now you can buy my lunch." When meeting a familiar person in the grocery store, they say," Good, you're just in time to buy my groceries." They'll talk to you like you're friends, then knife you in the back the first chance they get. The people there are so interested in everyone under the guise of being concerned. The real reason is so they can run all around and make fun of you and the things you say. They have no concern for anyone or anyone's feelings. When they come here, which is their shopping town, they drive rudely. They don't stop at stop lights or yield to others. The officers who have stopped them are normally told, "We come here and just spent our money and you'd better respect us." (Poor grammar on there part, not mine.) It's near where I live, but thank heavens I don't have to live among them.

Default Try crow?

Hey, for the person who deducted a rep point and wrote "try crow", I'd like to know how you prepare that? Do you batter and deep fry it or is it better if it's slow roasted on the rotisserie?

Cities in general are pretty mean. I think there's something about the combination of asphalt, concrete, and exhaust fumes that sucks the life out of people's souls.

LOL!! Thanks. Funny thing is I actually did find some crow recipes. http://www.crowbusters.com/recipes.htm Still don't know if I want to try it though.


Well isn't this typical? Somebody else just deducted another point and left the comment "disrespectful with other people's opinions". So, if I reason this out correctly, my opinion is not ok and deserves the disrespect of others (in the form of rep point deduction). You did the same thing I did except you did it anonymously. I love it when people leave negative comments on the feedback space. It gives a great insight on human nature. LOL!
