Yeah, when I lived in NYC (until 2013) I often had my neighborhood included in my location. But Jamaica is essentially a mid-sized city (pop. 200,000+) within a larger city (Queens) within a mega city (NYC) within a megalopolis.

I'd never do that for my current location, however.

Lots of my photos I post never get any comments, but I'm not going to whine about it... The reason people were commenting on his photos was quite obvious...

This is a forum, that's kind of the way it works. People post stuff & other people reply. Once again if someone is always posting stupid/offensive comments you really cannot blame others for replying to those posts...

And the reason why someone found out where he lived (from photos he himself posted) was because he made out it was colder where he lived than it actually is. He always stated his nearest Met Office weather station was Castlederg, when it is actually Magilligan No.2. He was lying & was called out on it, but yet again lets not blame the actual person responsible

It was not obvious to me clearly, yes I'll whine if mine get ignored for something stupid and write pages. Is not obvious why that is irritating?

Generally expect the more interesting posts to get more responses; that's how a good forum works. The reverse is annoying. It's also inconsiderate to fill it up with pages of argument of little interest to others. Can you not see others perspective on why that might be annoying? Why did you notice every detail he said so much more than me?

Obviously plenty of posts were stupid and annoying, but stop trying to cast yourself as blameless!

GymFanatic isn't wrong though he is just inexperienced. Of course most people can go to university but certain groups are more likely than others for multitude of reasons.

It's the way he says it. A spoiled, stuck-up kid who's never worked isn't really well positioned to speak on these things. He comes across as an out of touch snob.

Damn, my nearest Carrefour rocks.

I bought today Pineapple Fanta, Mango, Berry, Grape, Strawberry, Peach, Tropical, Exotic... all of those are imported US Fantas!

Then Orangina, Dr Pepper, Dr Pepper Cherry, Dr Pepper Vanilla, Pepsi Max Cherry, Pepsi real sugar...

I spended like 15€ in 14 US cans but definetly worth it. The cans are also bigger than the European ones (355ml vs 330ml) I just tasted the Mango one and it's Godlike!
