Why HN is my favorite site. People bring up viewpoints that I haven't even thought of, yet agree with.
I live in S. America and I see the same thing you're talking about in BsAs...but I actually prefer the way crossing the street is (I think it's safe to say anywhere) outside of the US because it makes people be aware. I've found myself many times taking chances with this because of my US attitude that I can just sue anyone that might hit me (as an aside, my cousin was hit by an ambulance in the US and won 250K, then invested smartly and turned it into 1 mil...at 21 yrs old). These days, this viewpoint of suing people in another country makes me chuckle.
