Yeah, because there aren't millions of bolt action rifles in the United States.
What is your point, exactly? Not to mention semi-auto rifles in the hands of civilians see little to no use...they don't just magically stop working after 5 or 6 years.
I personally know someone who died welding, after decades of welding (he was a little under 70 years old.)
He was working on a piece of farm equipment, on a hot day, and , as it was explained to me, he was sweaty, and his legs touched a piece of metal that was connected to what he was working on.
His wife found him hours later, and the welder was still on. One mishap can kill you, but there's no reason to ever let that happen. Don't be lazy, pay attention, etc.
You could probably say that about a lot of nice areas in urban places. I went in the early 2000's. I only stayed in the touristy area you described pretty much, aside from going to Virginia a little. The only thing vaguely criminal I saw was a homeless black guy yelling at a security guard of a place who made him stop sleeping there.
The only particularly notable hotel I've ever stayed in was the Watergate, and it's certainly nothing fancy, and only notable for the scandal, but it was nice enough for what it is. Had a nice river view room, and the staff was friendly.
What really made it nice, was the fact it has a Safeway, drugstore, and other shops right below it.
There are many thousands of Dutch people here in central Florida. They have entire subdivisions in some areas. Some live here fulltime, some own part time vacation houses. I guess they see something they like.
Yeah, like I said. It's more complex than that. I wouldn't pick anyone solely based on it. But it can be a point of annoyance and argument.
That being said, like another poster above, I would not willingly date someone with no broader appreciation of culture than Adam Sandler movies and shitty pop music. Nor have I. All the relationships I've been in in recent history, I've been fortunate to have common ground in such things.
You're never going to agree on absolutely everything, but it's nice to have many things in common.
I actually understand where she's coming from on this. One of the first long-term relationships I was in when I was 20 years old, the breakup was precipitated on a difference in pop culture. It's always more complex than that, of course, but it was a point of contention.
Frankly I'd be annoyed as fuck by a woman who listened to shit like Adele and Lady Gaga all the time.
On the same note as this, I've seen dozens of teenagers in Youtube comments saying "The music of my generation sucks," "Music from the past 10 years sucks," "I only listen to classic rock," etcetera.
I love it when retards (i.e. on Youtube go ballistic over a 20+ year old song that they think ripped off a song made by some autotuned "singer" made within the past 10 years.
