Is life in the U.S.A really as catastrophic and terrible as the media makes it out to be?

Bavarian living in California, I would compair it to any other third world country. High crime, poor public transportation, roads and corruption is wild in the US government. Can't wait to return to Germany and civilized people.

You won't be missed.

What kind of a person moves to California to ride the fucking bus anyway?

Every nut and tramp within a thousand miles.

Which just supports his point.

Sorry Mr. Shit for brains, I said High crime, poor public transportation, roads and corruption is wild in the US government.

Where the fuck did you read I ride a bus, can you read or are you just fucked in the head.

I agree with him. California is basically 3rd world just with more money.

The public transportation situation is indeed appalling. It shows the governments concerns honestly. In a functional society they'd do things like keep the public transportation clean and keep bums off of it, in California they just seem to not give a fuck about it which is telling of the general incompetence of their leadership.

If you have a system that is so shit that normal people can't use it, what is the benefit for supporting it? I've been on the LA subway before and it was basically just filled with people fighting each other and no cops in sight.

Felt safer in Tijuana tourist area than I did on Hollywood Boulevard. Hilariously bad look for California.

Depending on demographics that is not possible. You can put a brand new bus on a rout and it comes back with scrathed graphiti in the windows and absolutely torn to shit. No amount of money or maintenance can keep up when a clean buss is literally a target that itself drives these people to destroy it.

Hence my comment on a "functional society".

If it truly is that bad they need to have security on every bus.

Some degree of vandalism is to be expected but it cannot be tolerated. Simply sending round patrols to catch the teenagers and sentence them with community service to clean up the messes they make would fix a lot.

Your "solution" is tantamount to the famous "let them eat cake". It is delusional. Even stationing officers on every buss is impossible because they phisically can't watch everyone all the time. The idea that you could track down a person after the fact is laughable. You would be publicly mocked for your stupidity if you tried to punnish someone in that way. It would almost always cost more than fixing the damage. The problem is in some communities everyone is liable to do it. The damage is too much to keep up with.

You can't wrap your head around it because you have no experience with people like that. The trouble makers in your community are few and your solutuons assume that. It is delusional.

[–]Alienhunter 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (15 children)

Then they shouldn't run busses to those communities.

[–]Canbot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (14 children)

Sure buddy. Think about that for a second.

How exactly is that better than running the busses in the state they are in?

[–]Alienhunter 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (13 children)

Not running busses costs the taxpayers less money.

[–]Canbot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (12 children)

Why have any busses at all then?

Germany has worse corruption than the US. You can't even point out any factual inaccuracies in the hollocaust stories. It is only safer because it has far fewer minorities, but the government is working hard to change that. The birth rates are horrible. Replacement is underway. Germany will become the baltimore of europe.
