    A city I used to live in had a bridge like this in a major inner-city commercial area just outside the CBD. Would cause havoc for commuters because the bridge was for the southern train lines entering the CBD and was on a busy road entering an major arterial.

    All the traffic got held up and diverted, the trains couldn’t run until engineers inspected the bridge.





  • You are loony.

    I can only assume, you are wanting to know where I’m from? Even though it’s already been explained and you think you’ve asked but haven’t.

    South Korea, New Zealand, England, Australia, and Canada. But, again, has nothing to do with anything as these are just places I have lived while there are many more I have been and I won’t bother listing them all. That’s been explained quite clearly for to correct your erroneous assumptions and get you back on topic. Seems to be pointless, though.

    And of course, if that’s not it, then I have no idea. At this point, it seems you’re either simple or a troll.







  • EatATaco, you have not asked a question.

    No one has stated the US is the worst in the world, so I don’t know why you typed what you did.

    “Here” is “not the US”; and that is the point. To state where I am would make no sense but it also wouldn’t be respective of where I have been.

    I did not think such a point would be a challenge to grasp, let alone be upsetting. I’ll encourage you to stop making assumptions that upset you. That’s a you problem and it’s not nice to point fingers at others to spite the follies you’re “willing to bet on.”





  • Not too hard to imagine. I have many gay friends and some of them are tough af.

    Picture a skinny straight guy (me) hanging out at the local gay bar with friends. I’m there all the time and know all the locals and staff too, great crowd and prob my fav place to hang for a drink.

    Some guy I’ve never seen before keeps making moves on me, I just keep moving away. Someone explains I’m straight and he says, “Excellent. I enjoy the challenge.” Eventually he thinks it’s “fun” to poke my bum with a pool cue while I try play. I’ve had enough, “Dude, fuck off! No means no!” and I get ready to fight.

    Well, in storms a crowd of some of the toughest guys there and the bartender, it gets so heated and they physically drag him out. A few moments later, one of my friends comes back in and asked if I’m okay. I am, it was no big deal. But he says that’s not enough. Goes back out, they drag this guy back in, force him to apologise—he’s sobbing big time—then drag him back out again.

    The walkway off the street is painted as a giant pride rainbow, and apparently everyone’s favourite part was slamming him down on there and saying he’s never welcome here.

    So, yeah. Don’t fuck with gay people. Not to mention some of the much older fellas have taken huge beatings back in the 70s fighting for their rights and they’re tough as nails.
