People really don’t give Texas the freedom credits they deserve. You may not be able to smoke weed, be an immigrant, or control what you do with your own body… but damned if those roads don’t give you the freedom of speed. Pretty sure I was on a 90mph freeway at one point driving through that cowboy theme park.
People lose their minds over 70 mph limits when states like Texas and CA have higher.... But you go to another country and it's essentially Mario Kart.
Looking at you Central, South America and Southeast Asia.
Americans would screw up freedom of speed because they don’t know how to get out of the farthest left lane on an interstate. They also don’t understand what flashing your lights mean and will interpret it as road rage and respond in kind. How I wish American highways and interstates would operate like an Autobahn! We would have to redo driver education across the board, and actually give tickets to those drivers that slow traffic down because they don’t like speeders.
No, that happens in Houston. It’s not super common, but it does happen. Now, having an F350 that weighs 7000lbs start flashing his lights at you and waving a gun at you because you are only going 90mph in the far right lane? That’s just Tuesday.
If you’re German you’re probably thinking in kph, while Americans use mph. Unless you’re saying your Opel has no problem doing well over 160 kph in which case I’m impressed but a bit skeptical.
You don’t even know the legal definition of terroristic threatening. I’ve literally had someone cited for the very crime, so please fuck off and quit pretending you know anything.
Assertively thrust your hand/arm straight out in front of you, at about a 20* angle above parallel, in the middle of Germany, and let me know how it goes.
Yeah, in school a lot of funny kids do it all the time.
But i don't even want to say something to praise a dude who was responsible for the worst era of german history, millions over millions innocent deaths and overall the almost destruction of the whole european continent.
I could just do the same about the US. Walk around certain neighbourhoods calling people the n word...
Unfortunately, there are many parts of the US where you can say the n word while throwing a nazi salute and suffer no consequences :/
I'm always happy to acknowledge the broken parts of America that are misunderstood or misrepresented by our people, but the strength of our freedom of speech is pretty hard to argue against. We currently have a convicted rapist/felon/pedophile/grifter named Don getting national airtime to talk about electric boats vs. sharks.
You need only look to the 100% biased "news" stations or the death threat-laden politics threads to see just how ironclad our freedom of speech really is.
Yes you can. There’s just stipulations to when and where. If you do it in the presence of a demographic that can take offense, you can be charged for a hate crime but you can’t say it in the middle of a field and someone hear it and call you in like you just shot someone🤣
A business and your government might just be a lil different. sound like you need to learn the difference between workplace expectations and federal law. They can fire me for being lazy too, is that a federal offense?

So you went to war so your state could set their own speed limits?
