I have spent a fair bit of time in the USA, even Minnesota for a couple of weeks. As a sports-fan its paradise. Would never live there. Its a dog-eat-dog mentality. Far worse than here.
i agree totally, as a sports fan and photographer, it really is paradise. even a weeknight at the baseball is mind blowing. When ever we go, i always spend time with the locals, and its always friendly and fun. Im still hoping to get back there, wanted to do a huge road trip next year, but i might stick to Canada and Alsaka, and give the rest of the US a bit more time for, well everything to cool off.

Is there any danger one of the mods could do something useful and split the relevant content into a separate thread?
It wasn't possible, unfortunately. "What Pisses You Off?" and similar mega-threads are, due to their size, fully mod-proof. Nothing can get split from here, only permanently deleted. So any discussion that starts here is stuck here until someone starts a new thread. So there's something that can piss all of us off. :)
