Re: Well (none / 0)

I think in America if you have a good enough lawyer you can get away with just about anything. That said, there are actually laws against running people over with a car here. I know, shocking. Of course we will never be a civilized as Europe. But of the nearly infinite injustices and dangers and let's face it, horrors endemic to American culture, "crossing a street" is not really at the top of that list.

really understand what you want to say here:

I wasn't trying to show you the length of the Dutch penis, or measuring it up to "American culture", never mind make a judgement call in comparison to other problems. Just passing on information from this side of town...
