Kids do dumb things. They think that they're invincible. I live in an area next to a railroad embankment. Sometimes, kids would walk on the tracks. And there's also something called "train surfing" where people ride on top of trains. It's very dangerous...

I was trying to show that the TFL videos gave me the impression that London has more foreigners than White Brits. And most of them spoke in the accent. Anyway, that's my last post in this thread. I'm moving on.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I've watched many of these videos. This is the last time I'll talk about accents and the demographics of London: https://youtu.be/QHG8VMOqEw0 https://youtu.be/LulPOJMKNdA https://youtu.be/VaKWwaHjkww

Economically, staying in the EU makes sense. I think it's ideal for the Western European nations to have a single currency and to trade amongst themselves. Doing so is beneficial for all of the countries. The EU also facilitates travel between the respective countries. For example, the UK and...

I'm not a troll. That's the honest to God truth. I'm a black New Yorker who passionately loves London. I'm not trying to get off topic, but I've been followed in stores where I shopped at, I have cousins in prison, and I've been treated in a condescending matter at several schools that I...

This doesn't directly affect the UK, but I figured that most people here would find this newsworthy: So basically, since Saudi Arabia is a rich country with a lot of oil, they get to do whatever they want, including forcing women to wear hijabs, prohibiting them from driving and getting an...

If it was up to me, the USA would still be a British colony. It would have less crime, less racism, less poverty, and a better education system.

The British perspective is almost always the correct perspective. Having a difference in opinion is ok, as long as you respect other people's beliefs and you don't force your beliefs on them. An example is Islam. I'd never pray 5 times a day, refrain from eating pork, and fast during...

As many of you know, I'm an American (hopefully that changes soon) I've been a train enthusiast since I was 3 years old. I originally joined a NYC subway-based forum called Subchat. 85% of the people there were friendly and knowledgeable. However, the other 15% were obnoxious and/or bigoted...

I'm not going to keep rehashing the same points. I already stated why a tourist should think twice about visiting New York (I've lived their my entire life; hopefully that changes soon). Anyone who thinks that New York is civilised should take a walk in East New York...

They would feel that a female conductor is less competent than a male conductor due to this incident.

I never even heard of half of these terms. What's the difference between a Democratic socialist and Social Democrat? I'm going to assume that a Christian Democrat is a religious person who doesn't use religion as a pretense for antagonizing the LGBT community. I fit into that label. I...

I'm a moderate democrat. As most of you know, I'm a black American (hopefully British in the near-future) in my early 30's I support LGBT rights, though I'm against people being able to use bathrooms based on their gender preference. That could be abused (example: a man pretending to identify...
