...designed so that the stupidest fucking thing anyone says gets elevated to the front page every day. I look at things like sitting in a taxi*, hearing a rant about refugees that is also about the mainstream media that is also about big pharma, that is also about communism and all told has the...

But that doesn't explain the non braindeads, like my mate, who seems to have gotten swept up in it.

Any city that's big for tourists is going to become big for criminals - make hay while the sun shines and all. Not much point being a pickpocket/mugger in rural portugal when you've 10,000 fresh targets every day in Lisbon. Everyone else following the anti tourism protests in Spain?

We can blame the internet for all the braindeads connecting with each other

We got followed in Prague before. Had to lose two guys on the way back to our hotel

I don't know. I think a bit of both maybe. The police people were all massive and hard looking. Amsterdam always felt sketchy and Barcelona too. Madrid on the other hand would be similar to Budapest. Capital city and people seem to love living there. It's affordable and there's no end of stuff...

I see.

Definitely had that problem "Stop staring at that drop-dead gorgeous cop, she's got a gun......Stop staring at that drop-dead gorgeous cop, she's got a gun......Stop staring at that drop-dead gorgeous cop, she's got a gun......"

Or else we just have the ability to be exposed to stupidity in a way that wasn't possible in the last decade or two? Twenty years ago a moon landing conspiracy theorist probably knew a handful of like minded people. Now they have online communities which bolster them.

Lisbon didn't feel safe at times. I remember on two occasions getting the distinct impression I was being eyed up for the DSLR I had hanging around my neck.

Not mine, but I was at a younglings birthday party yesterday. It was in a pub with arcade machines. At some point my mates kid asked, with irrefutable rapscallion-ness, "can you give us money for air hockey?". Two quid for three minutes. Him and his little brother and another girl. It was 2-0...

Oh god, I actually had a face to face conversation with someone recently who said the same thing about Robert Kennedy Jr. When I brought up all the anti vaccine allegations, he said that was just the commie press trying to discredit him because he’s not playing big pharma’s game. And also he won...

Well I said "Napoli would intimidate a lot of people". Personally I loved it. The carabinieri were more worrying than any citizen. Handsome armed bastard's that they are. Never been to Poland or Romania, just going on what others have told me. Definitely had agg in Istanbul and Rome. And some...

Conversation with my 10 year old daughter yesterday: Daughter: which tastes better, Guinness or Guinness 0? Me: they both taste pretty much the same. It’s just that Guinness 0 doesn’t have alcohol in it. Daughter: so you don’t get to go to your happy place. No idea where she got that from

We live in possibly one of the stupidest environments on earth at this time. It's unfathomable.

Really? I never knew that

Sorry, Sean I have a friend I care for that is watching the US election and telling me that the only one who makes sense is Kennedy And it hurts my heart a little

Man, that wasn't my experience of Napoli at all. And I was up and down and around all over that place. Like it was WRECKED with graffitti and it stank in the summer, but I felt safe at all times. Covered a lot of Rome by foot and could say the same. Never been to the others you mentioned...

Germany based friend has been taken in people claiming the "extreme left" are allowing criminals into the UK etc etc. I am an ass-hat, apparently. It's sad to see.h Him being Germany based, he has a unique point of view, Germany has it's own immigration/integration issues. But he's dead wrong...

I suppose they are. I thought Rome and Istanbul (if that counts) were hairy. Napoli would intimidate a lot of people. I've heard nothing but bad things about Marseille. And everything in Poland and Romania. Maybe the Hungarians are trying to prove a point about being better than the rest of post...
