I had to show some form of ID and prove my age when buying a set of cutlery in the UK in case I was planning to go on a rampage with the included butter knife. I assume I would be on some kind of watch list had I tried to buy steak knife.

Seth Pecksniff posted:Also congrats to your soldiers for stepping on a kid!! America has the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, whose National Guardsmen (I think) carry live ammunition, but their marching route is like fifty feet away from a chain you're very clearly not supposed to cross, and I don't think they've ever shot anyone, just very sternly yelled. This is hilarious though, why aren't there fences or chains or any kind of barrier, and why does it look like the Queen's Guard just march wherever they want as opposed to back and forth in a straight line?

Imagine being dumb enough to be an honor guard anywhere. You have to walk around like you have a three foot dick up your rear end while wearing an outfit that makes you hideously unfuckable. Just absolute psychos.

there are a lot of similar videos of them shoving people, they seem to just resent the tourists being there and throw their weight around any chance they get

Smeef posted:The first time I visited the UK I was astounded by how little people resemble British celebrities. It’s like if you’re moderately good looking you are promoted internationally as a celeb, and everyone else looks like the orc siege general from the Return of the King or the goblin king from The Hobbit. Except all the Eastern European babes, who only make the contrast more obvious. This is precisely how pale tourists are categorized in Cyprus. Svelte, tall, and striking white person? A Russian. Grubby, hunched, and potato like white person? A Brit.

Weka posted:Generally the change is pretty gradual. Even with a revolution life goes on in much the same way for most people more often than not. Sometimes a social revolution happens where there is a fundamental change in governance and you would probably want to say the state itself has stayed the same, for instance the massive expansion of suffrage. Or how about this: Forget Western Europe, has Eastern Europe remained constant?

dustin.h posted:For the hoi polloi, little changes whether they'd under a monarchy, republic, or a dictatorship. It seems cheating to use them as a baseline. For your general politically aware person, it's harder to say countries remain the same countries throughout the political turmoil that occurs from rime to time. Nothing remains constant, all is flux. You are different to who you were yesterday. It's a country of theseus type situation. To get back on topic, if news reports are to be believed, eastern Europe has changed greatly recently as half of poland has moved to Britain.

Also, I'm still waiting to hear what the deal is with the Welsh. There's several millions of them and most of the mines are closed, so what do they do all day? What's he building in there? You're afraid to find out, aren't you?
