   @Shlomo If you need to see it with your own eyes you really show a certain midwittery. Autonomy is an american thing, just a look at the way we live & play should be a simple clue that people like living on their own and handling their own fate

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @Shlomo it really is getting away from blacks, muh freedom, and car-centric culture.

     @ShtPoastAnon @Shlomo And a respect for the value of time. Euros love mass transit because they have no problem wasting 2 hours of every day getting small loads of groceries and waiting around for a late train. Vehicles empower hobbies, too. Your car gives you freedom and access to all kinds of stuff you can't really do with mass transit (mountain biking, shooting, kayaking, kiting, trail running come to mind here)

     It's a fundamentally different approach to life, where euros are just tacitly accepting of being subjects (not an entirely bad thing for them, but not 'US') versus americans instinctively demanding captainship over their lives
