I'm a U.S. citizen. When it comes to tools and guns. It is better to have and not need. Than to need and not have.
Americans generally don't have any problems with people from other countries even if we hate their government
Unless your south American and from Mexico. Lots of racists in my state
@@Dirty10 I'm sure in most cases that it's more about illegal immigration than race.
It's definitely a part of the American mindset that a people of a country are distinct from their government, and we don't blame people for their government.
I know some countries don't have that, and have trouble with the idea that Americans dislike their government and thus assume they're disliked. . .but we seriously don't hold it against a people just because their government is awful.
Most Americans either dislike the American government, or have disliked it in the past under a previous administration, so we generally understand that what a government does is loosely connected (at best) to what the people want, even in a democracy. In non-democratic countries we pretty much presume the people there don't like their own government so we just quietly assume many of them would agree with us in disliking their government, and we certainly don't dislike them along with their government.
Or if they then are rude or jerks... but yeah we're welcoming if you are like the Russian kid or you, Lewis.
Except Black people. Most Black immigrants are not given a warm welcome.
I am 61 year old female and live alone out in the country. If someone broke in while I was home, the police couldn’t get here in time to save me. I have neighbors but not as close as people are in town. I sleep much better knowing that I can protect myself because I have a gun and I know how to use it.
I pray you never have to use it, but thank goodness you are ready to protect yourself. Have a wonderful day ❤
I keep one by my lazy boy chair, and the bedroom has the rest of them. Edit, I lied 😔 I forgot about my glovebox revolver.
I have one next to my bed
Same!!
Out in the country, it's nearly a civic duty to be armed. Law enforcement isn't intended to be anyone's personal bodyguards. I've also found that the old addage "an armed society is a polite society" rings true in locations where a large segment of the population is legally packing.
I can't picture someone treating him badly because he's russian unless he did something that warrants it
Nah I can totally picture certain people being suspicious to him, at a minimum. There are some stupid and quick to judge people out there, especially when they get drunk.
I just imagine all the usual lame "then why u rushin'?" Jokes he must hear lol
@@Goldenselfi can only picture that maybe in the 70s and 80s
Well, there are a lot of Americans stand with Ukraine. Not this kids fault though so no need to take it out this guy though.
One time in high school we watched an interview with Iranian people. And what they said still sticks with me to this day. “Wars are between governments not people. We love Americans” and there’s a lot of truth to that
The portion size is why we have doggy bags. Eat left overs tomorrow!!!
I traveled Europe and experienced many of the same portion sizes. The difference was the amount of fried food available. And in Spain the waitress became so offended when I told her "please, no more" and pushed more food onto my plate. It was considered disrespectful not finish anything that was ordered..
doggy bags? lol you're from the northeast huh?
Carrying around a half dozen donuts at the beach, he's already American!
And weed in his pocket
No American ever said, "I want to live in that plain concrete building"!
I bet the fools rioting at campuses who live with their parents who are paying 30 thousand for a wasted education are the ones who tell him that.
You clearly haven't met modern college students.
Homeless Ones might
I’m a 55 year old American and I have never even witnessed a shooting. 🤷♂️
Same and I've moved around all my life . The only issues I had was on Beale St in Memphis when we were robbed by CHILDREN in broad daylight .
We don't eat all the food in the US. We save it for the next day!!
There are few things better than wondering what you can eat after getting hungry and remembering you have left over Chinese or Mexican in the fridge. There are few things worse than discovering someone already ate it.
@@snowdogthewolf The wife's relief to have something quick to heat up in a day or so. 😅 Thanks to the air fryer, Egg rolls can be reheated easily 😋
Nah. A lot of you def don’t save anything and ask for 2nds and 3rds.
We here in the USA were also taught to not leave anything on the plate. "There are starving people out there"
Heard that growing up. You don't throw away food!
My nephew obviously didn't
@@kellywiewall4928 LOL--Ahahahhahah Well there are always outliers.
Was never been made to ‘clean my plate’. In fact, I only personally know one person who was taught that
Same here in the South you clean your plate sign of respect and appreciate that you have something to eat. AKA manners.
My grandfather grew up in the depression. You didn't waste food!!!! He ate the core of the apple until he was 70 maybe 65.
Why would we hate someone from Russia? We have every body here.
I honestly think the only way a Russian in the US would catch flak is if they were to either insult certain aspects of the US or defend Russia's current actions on the world stage.
So long as they avoid talking politics and keep any personal gripes to a minimum, they'll be treated with cordiality and have an excellent and memorable time.
our country was founded on the very principle that everyone is welcome here so its kind of in our dna 👍👍
If you act decent, people will treat you decent in America. Of course there are rare exceptions.
I don't remember the last time I left a restaurant, that wasn't a fast food restaurant, without nearly half the food that I ordered in a doggie bag. I never finish my meal at a restaurant. It will be lunch and/or dinner the next day.
I like that meals are larger as a man many/ most times will eat it all to become full as they usually require more food... then us ladies get to take half of ours home for great lunch the next day.. instead of a man having to order more food to be able to get enough to fill up on.
My hub is smaller then me weight wise yet he eats 3x as much food as I eat every day.
In the states. You MUST start with a learners permit for a car. Meaning someone with a real drivers license must be with you
Wrong.
"You MUST start with a learners permit for a car."
Zack protested against the war against Ukraine when it started. That's why he chose to leave Russia. (After the war started, he moved to the country of Georgia before moving to the US to go to college.)
You can go your whole life here without ever seeing a gun.
I mean people aren't just walking around with them openly all the time, sure. But how are you never seeing a gun at all? Police have them if nothing else. I've seen them elsewise on rare occasion maybe 2-3 times, in the NW.
Also BB guns more, but I don't know if that counts. Still can be dangerous though.
Have never seen a citizen with a gun and I am 62.
Curious, where do you live? I’m in TN and see them all the time. Once had a conversation in a waiting room and 4out of 6 women had a gun in their purse! I was shocked! 😳
If you try, but everyone I know has at least access to a gun. My grandfather had a rifle for the birds, he had a garden. My father had an M1 garand, but he sold it. Later we had a .22. Alot of kids got a .22 when they were teenagers. He doesn't know about doggy bags?
@@lacysnake oh if you mean conceal carry then that is a different story altogether. I conceal carry. I live in WV and everyone here has guns concealed on their person, in cars, and all over their property.
Talking about gun violence like he did is funny. I live in the south, and there are more guns than people here. Hardly anyone worries about the gun violence. I'm also a retired cop, and in about 20 years of policing I dealt with 3 or 4 assaults dealing with guns, but I can't even count the number of times someone with a gun stopped a crime happening. I will say I'm in the mountains in the south, not a big city, but again there are way more guns than people here.
😂
That may be true and I accept 2nd ammendment rights. But since the leading cause of death in children is a bullet, I don't believe that 2nd ammendment rights supercedes the right to live.
@@janetmaddock3941 LOL No.
"since the leading cause of death in children is a bullet"
@@janetmaddock3941 Hmm. You accept the 2nd Amendment though believe the right to live supersedes the that same Amendment? Sounds like you _don't_ accept the 2nd Amendment then? Nothing wrong with that, just an odd statement.
Also, the #1 cause of child deaths in the US are "unintentional injury". Yes, firearms play a part in that, as does playing in the street and being hit by a vehicle, falling out of a tree, taking a baseball to the head... by just doing what active kids do. Considering all the stupid stuff I did as a kid, I completely understand this.
I completely understand. I live in a rural area and yes, we have AR's. And I'm a lifelong Progressive/Liberal. 😮
My argument is letting 18 yo kids get something that is intended for multiple kills. I know other rifles have decent capacity but not as fast. We have all kinds of networks to do thorough background checks. Maybe no one gets that large of a magazine anymore. Maybe require an actual certification class to buy at 21? You're not trusted to buy alcohol until l then (at least in VA) .
There needs to be some kind of compromise because too many people didn't teach their children about guns.
I'm sure you've come across many idiots that you really don't want to have guns.
No, it didn’t say 41% of Americans go to church weekly…it said 41% of Christians in America go to church weekly.
Which is still roughly 86 million christians. Which is 26.5% of the US population. Still pretty bonkers because that’s like 5x the percentage of the UK
70 percent of adult Americans believe angels are real
That's Zack the Russian. I have been following him for a long time. I Love this guy he has and I Hope he stays here in America 🇺🇸. He can't go back to Russia from the videos he has made. I'm to say he is doing well the last time I talked to him in Arizona 😉👍❤️❤️❤️
Boo hoo. He can't go back to Russia because he had free speech in America and spoke the truth about Russia. He needs to go someplace where he can complain all day and all night. Go there Mr. Russian, go. I won't stop you.
@@gwennmesler5997 wtf are you talking about? nobody's complaining.
We don’t need people getting citizenship in our country. You think it’s ok but it’s destroying our culture.
She’s being a jerk because he’s Russian. Pure and simple.
@@starlepus9437 Thank You. America 🇺🇸 is the Land of the Free. I want this Young Man to have the same life I have. 😉👍❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
Had a college buddy from Qatar...took him back home to see the winter wheat...he wanted me to stop the car so he could run naked through it...would have left him if I didnt think a farmer would try to shoot at him
Sounds so beautiful!
I wonder if stuff like that happens all the time in qatar
@@3arthandsky I hope that was sarcasm...Quatar is a desert, don't think fields of winter wheat exist there, where rainfall is almost non existent, and sand makes up most of the country. His friend was shocked by the abundance that most Americans take for granted.
Why would someone want to run naked through winter wheat? Is that like in a movie or a stereotype? I’ve never seen a natural landscape that made me feel the urge to strip and run through it. Lol…help me out y’all.
@@Michael-kf7gm well Qatar is desert and us military bases. His dad ran the marriot there. I took him to tidewater Virginia where it's all green brick houses and water. He was in love and wants his dad to move there when he retired. Winter wheat when it first sprouts is super bright green you should look up pictures!
You can't compare US to Canada for crime and murder rates. The US population in 2019 was 330 million. Canada was 36 million. The murder rate in U,S was 4.8 per 100,000. The murder rate in Saskatoon, Canada was 7.6 per 100,000.
Hello, from Saskatchewan, Canada. This is very true, some of the smaller places in our province are scarier than the cities. We can get guns here, (don't have one and have never tried so don't know the process), but I think they are not used in murders as much here, we mostly have the hunting rifles.
@@lauriegunn9636 A lot of the politics of gun control in the U.S. isn't about crime or violence. It's about crushing the cultures of other groups in the U.S. That's why so many gun control activists are so heavily focused on limiting rifles (e.g., AR-15s) instead of small, concealable handguns with small magazine sizes.
When I was a child in the 1950’s and 60’s, 80% of Americans identified as Christians and they were to church. Since then, church congregations have dropped to around 50%.
Sadly indeed ! That's why the South still holds our conservative and Christian values. The Bible belt is great!
Christianity is growing rapidly these days, but that's all because of growth in other parts of the world.
I'm 74 and have never had any apprehension about guns. Just avoid bad areas
Well, if you had to go to school from preschool on and go through gun drills and what to do if a mass shooter came in and tried to kill you while you’re trying to study or on the playground, then maybe your outlook would be a little bit different. we have an entire generation of children who have been traumatized because you value guns more than them
@@reneeb.8351. Criminals don't care what's written on a peace of paper.
You can take all the guns away from the law abiding citizens and there will still be shootings.
There still will be gang members, mobsters and crazy people out there.
@@reneeb.8351 The traumatizing occurs in school with the fear instilled by an over emphasis on rare events. This is a recent phenomenon. Guns were everywhere when I grew up. If you saw a pickup, it generally had a gun rack in the back window. It frequently carried a shotgun or rifle. No one paid any attention to them. What changed was society, not the guns. The introduction of radical leftist ideas and criticism of the country's foundations saw an upswing of shootings of all kinds. Even so, unless you go to the 'bad' parts of town, you'll likely never see any gun violence - except in sensational news reports.
@@reneeb.8351 i was one of those kids you are talking about with drills and had several instances where police came to my school because of guns/knives and a a couple bomb threats (the bomb threats were cleared and nothing happened) however I carry my glock every day. You have no right to speak for me or say what i value. I carry my gun because i care for my life and for those around me. keep your political bullshit out of my life
Rare??? Not anymore.
I practice our second amendment, but for home protection only. One thing I would like to say is that many Americans eat healthy food and exercise, so not all of us get fat.
It seems more are focusing on a healthier diet these days. As you say, not all Americans are overweight and it appears the trend is that each year less Americans are overweight, or at least "morbidly" so.
Americans that are just average don't get the attention.
Getting fat is not so much about eating healthy food as eating less food. Indeed, the whole concept of "healthy food" is mostly not a real thing. It's all about a healthy diet.
Krispy Kreme donuts are deliscious when they are hit off the presses.
Hot Now Sign has me cheering LOL 😂
19:29 depends on what part of America. The South and Midwest tend to have more church going people than the West Coast and North East. In fact the South is known as the Bible Belt. Also some are C and E church attendees. (Christmas and Easter, and add some weddings and funerals).
From a Merican... The Russian people are not my enemies!!!
What is a "Merican"? Did you misspell "Mexican"?
@therealimnotjiminy A Merican. An American, from USA. It's just a funny way to say it. Like a nickname. Sometimes we spell it "Murican"
@@greybush6939 Got it. Sometimes you're disrespectful to the name of the country. And you have multiple ways of writing out your disrespect. Ok.

Agreed, I have no ill-will towards anyone. Some may attract unwanted attention should they criticize a host nation or diving into global politics when travelling, fortunately most are bright enough to avoid doing that.

I've lived all over the USA, and some cities are pedestrian friendly, but some cities don't even have sidewalks, so it's a crapshoot depending on where you are.
That is 100% false.

Whoever here in America is telling him that they like the Russian way
are ignorant and don't understand how good they have it here in America. 🙄
They like it because they live here. Move to Russia and see how much they like it.

It sounds like your bitterness of being here , is stopping you from enjoying the beautiful things around you . Be grateful of the opportunities given here or leave . Life is to short . Bye bye.
@PeonyBlossom3 I'm not happy but I'm more financially stable. Why would I leave when I have reason to stay
Yes we did. When I went to high-school we had gun racks in the back window like, a 22. Or a 30-30 or even a shotgun. And maybe a hand gun. We wasn't pussies, we didn't use a guns on a people. We would fight with our fists. No knifes or any weapons.
You're an avid hunter aren't you? 😊 By the 80's they started frowning upon hunters bringing their guns on school property... here in my area of the south, anyways.
@@janiemiddlebrooks8993 yes I was. Hunted in the morning before school. Well in hunting season anyway 😆.
@@janiemiddlebrooks8993we had it in the late 90s in the Ozarks and rural counties still do it but it's stricter now in the 90s I remember kids with their hunting rifles on the bus and in the coat rack in class
America is a melting pot of many nations. We appreciate ALL people who LEGALLY enter to our country.
I'm glad you emphasised the key word. Those here abiding our laws are more than welcome.
What's your method of determining who is and isn't.
@diegosuarez1563 Do we not have the Code of Law and the Courts to decide these things?
When you look at numbers like the gun homicides you have to remember how many people are in each country. US 342M Switzerland 8.85M Canada 39.1 Belgium 11.7M ......
Also, the VAST majority of gun-crime are from inner-city violence. Not much at all in the suburbs or rural areas.
Absolutely agree about the data.
We are VERY welcoming.. Even as a Hispanic [Puerto Rican] American from NY [for 40 years out of 44 years of my life], i am very respectable & friendly, especially towards people from other countries... because i would want & expect to be treated in other countries if i were to visit.
that stat is 41% of christians, not 41% of americans
Which is still crazy because that’s almost 30% of the whole population
61% of the US or roughly 210 million are Christians.
41% of 210mil is 86million
86 million is about 26.5??? Ish percent of the whole US population. Which is still 5x more than the percentage of church goers in the UK or Russia.

I also have followed Zack for along time even before he left Russia. I sent him support to get out when he left. He even bought a motor cycle and recked it a few months ago. I asked him if he was getting another one and he said no,lol
I know many Russian Americans who are against the Russian government ❤
I know only 2 Russian Americans - 1 is against the Russian government; the other thinks Putin is a god.
On the topic of guns, I just want to say that a gun is just a tool. As you observed, you have to look at the person. With the number of guns owned by private citizens being either close to or actually superceding the number of people in the US, you find that the percentage of people killed by guns ,due to being shot by someone else, is not very high, especially when you consider that the statistics also include people who die by their own hands, and accidents. What happens is that when gun ownership is banned, criminals or people who want to hatm someone will simply find another "tool" to use. And, with the majority of people, not living next door to a police station, it can take anywhere from a couple of minutes to as many as over 30 minutes in rural areas for the police to arrive, giving the attacker lots of time to harm someone. The vast majority of gun owners are law-abiding and honorable people who will only use a gun on someone else only to save either their own or someone else's life. Love your videos , keep them coming, and we would certainly welcome you when you come visit and enjoy our food.
I read a statistic a long time ago that surprisingly significant number of shootings are from police officers inadvertently shooting themselves with their own gun when drawing or handling them. I wish I could remember the percentage but it was much larger than I expected.
😂
Your comment is factually accurate. There are two other things that some don't take into consideration. The first is that most of the gun-crime occurs in urban areas and are often spurred on by gang-related activities and drugs. Remove the urban violence aspect and the statistics will change dramatically.
The second is as you pointed out, criminals do not abide by any "bans" (haven't drugs been banned for a while, for example?) and with the incredible surplus of firearms on the black market, they will always have a supply of firearms to acquire for their nefarous ventures while only the law-abiding remain unarmed.
@TobyBaker-hz3rw what's funny, his comment was all common sense shit.
That is a poor take. It is also wrong. Statistics are broken down into catagories. Gun violence does not include anything other then criminal acts.
I live in a VERY small tiny manufactured house (about 750 sq ft.) but it’s sitting on 80 acres in the middle of the desert. It has power for an AC and a well for water and that’s all I need.

Yesterday we hit well into triple digit temps as the day before that and again today is just as hot and the weather prediction for tomorrow is . . . guess what . . . Yup, hot as hell again but I NEED MY SPACE!!
Sounds dreamy. 😊
What most people don't understand about the Constitution and The Bill of Rights is nowhere does it say what we as Americans can and can not do. It specifically says what the government CAN'T do! No ifs, ands, or buts about it. If someone has a problem with that, it's on them. If someone is afraid of guns, thats on them. Your fears and feelings shouldn't affect anyone's rights.
Exactly 💯.... The Constitution is NOT About controlling the people ...they are rules to the government.
I'm an American, born, raised and live in the South. I experience culture shock when I visit different regions in the U.S. 😂
You're right.
Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Like a gun, a truck, knife, bat, rope, chain, you name it, they can't kill, but people can use those things to kill people.
I've never heard of anyone having an instant dislike of Russian people here, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I've worked and befriended plenty of people from Russia and literally no one cares and honestly just finds them fascinating and the accent amusing at worst.

I think most people around the world realize that the people of a country and their government are often two different things. Lots of countries don't like the US government, but I think most of them generally like Americans. It goes both ways. I'm not a fan of Putin, but I watch a lot of Russian YT channels. People are people once you get them around a dinner table.
Yeah Idk about the other countries not hating Americans. Pretty sure there are a lot of people who don't like us
I'm American and have lived in 3 other countries and in general people don't hate Americans at all. Most people are intelligent enough to know one person doesn't represent 300+ million. If they do, they can go to hell.
You would hope, but I think there are places where the distinction isn't made as much.
Actually; Putin seems to be a reasonably decent guy! There have been much worse leaders in Russia , Stalin for instance.
Being a Catholic from Iowa, moving to Georgia was a culture shock even for me. They're extremely evangelical, and it's nearly everyone, and they're very outspoken about it. You'll get unprovoked sermons from old ladies at the grocery store. It's mostly a good thing, but a lot of them don't like Catholics and don't even consider us Christians, so you'll find mean people hiding behind their Bibles to treat people like shit too.
Try coming here from Central or South America. We don’t treat those folks very kindly. It’s shameful how people hide behind their bibles to sow hatred and division.

My daughter watched what she ate, denying herself foods and doing things in order to stay healthy. On April 7, 2024 at the age of 46 she died from esophageal cancer 5 months after being diagnosed. I wish she wouldn't have denied herself. None of us is promised tomorrow.

Not everybody is welcoming, but, I would say that the majority of the interactions you have would be positive. To be fair, the unwelcoming group exists for everybody, there will always be somebody who see things differently than you on a multitude of issues, and a multitude of levels. The difference is in how they choose to interact with you, some people will be cool about it and some folks are just plain old assholes....that's life.
When you look on sites for real estate, they will tell you the “walkability” score for the house or flat. In most of America, the walkability scores are low because we are so spread out. So in that aspect it is not in all places pedestrian friendly.
Hey there, I am a 63 year old woman, mom of 4 grandma of 6 and live in Maine. I live alone and have 1 leg, I love guns and the freedom to be able to protect myself. Hardly anyone around here is afraid of guns because we have open carry. It is simply a tool and a way of life. I love the USA! You should come to America!

The US was the first with fast food, the rest of the world is playing catch-up.
Most restaurants will let you take home whatever part of your meal you can't finish. And some restaurants actually plan their menus to give their customers the opportunity to take home good leftovers.
"Let"? LOL
"Most restaurants will let you take home whatever part of your meal you can't finish."
Lewis, we would love to have you come stay with us here in the US, it will be a joy to have you here.
Maybe you've got something there. If enough YTer's across the country can help a brit out with a couple meals and a spare cot for a few days may be we can get Lewis finally quit yapping about the US and experience it. Agree w/Will it would be a joy to have you over. OBTW great reaction as most are.
It didn't say 41% of Americans go to church. It said 41% of American Christians go to church.
Oh.. and he don't have to finish a meal... in America.. you can take it home with you!! So he could easily control how much he eats.. and not waste food! He can always finish the rest later or next day!! So I don't know why he is saying that! He should know that!!
Also, there are tons of healthy options to choose from. Vegan or vegetarian restaurants, he can go for a salad or grilled fish in most places. People aggravate me when they crap on our food. I get my money's worth when I go to a restaurant. You can eat 3 times out of one meal sometimes.
The 180-day rule is probably that (can't say ALL States) you have to have a learner's permit/temporary license/'Temps' for at least 6 months before you can take your driver's license test. And during that period you have to have a licensed driver in the front seat with you.
You cannot get a "semi decent car" for $3,500 in the US.

Sure you can.
@ImForwardlook Depends on your definition of "decent ".
We rarely spend more than that for a vehicle but we buy older used cars and my husband is a handy mechanic and keeps them running. He just drove from Alaska to upstate New York and back in a 1990 Ford van.

I’ve been in my town for 30 yrs and my neighbor from the side house across the street is from Russia and been in his house for like 3 yrs and he is not nice! I said once hi to him and his family and they ignored me. My son hates them. We’ve called cops on them a few times because they have a lot of expensive cars always blocking some of my entrance.
Nice and mean people are everywhere. It’s a crap shoot.
No, 41% of Americans DO NOT go to church. 41% of CHRISTIANS go to church(says so at the top of the text bubble.) Big difference. The only times I've been in a church is for weddings and funerals.
The motorcycle eventually was wrecked and he got another vehicle. He didn' t really enjoy it. It was all he could get due to driver license requirements.

He didn't say he wanted to see more Ukranian flags but he wondered if he would see more.
He said what he said. He thinks us southerners are self centered and are ignorant or don't care about international politics. This is why he surmised that there aren't more Ukrainian flags
That graph is counting suicides, lawful gun deaths (police action-self defense) and accidental deaths. Note how the name of it is carefully worded… it doesn’t say murders… homicide means all deaths by firearms. It also compares statistics from other countries who report gun crimes differently than we do… finally, I have never heard a gun go off in anger, but worrying about gun crime and riding a motorcycle in that traffic without a helmet… is a typical stupid reaction to real threats. Don’t commit a crime, don’t deal drugs, don’t join a gang…and you’ll die from crashing that bike, and never once hear a gun go off in anger.
MEXICO has very strict anti-gun laws AND a super high rate of gun violence.
They get their guns from the US. Too easy to smuggle them in.
Imagine if they lived next to a country with lax gun laws, just think of what they can get their hands on…..oh wait
The same with Chicago
You nailed it. America is not happy with the Russian government, we have no issue with Russian people. But we have issues with our own government, so fair's fair, I guess.
fun fact: less people have a drivers license today, than 20 years ago. due to Uber and ride sharing services, less and less young people find it necessary to get a vehicle.
My 15-year-old daughter has expressed no interest in driving and had to be nearly forced to take driver's education this year, and we live in a nearly rural area.
So listen well son,

I started working when I was seven years old, to earn money to buy school clothes and school supplies, if I didn't work, I didn't get new clothes or supplies, we picked fruits of all kinds, and I made more than enough to get all I needed. I don't regret any of it or feel it was an injustice, my Mom worked hard to keep us housed and fed, if I could help I wanted to. It was a 40 hour week and sometimes on Saturday all summer long, well, from the end of July through back to school in September, we still picked fruit on the weekend, we were kids though so we had energy to burn and we played until dark when we got home! Fun times!
Great reaction once again Lewis!

same!
65% of Russia live in apartments. 80% of USA live in houses.
If you're black or brown, you do have to be aware of where you stop if you're traveling. 99.9% of cities are fine, but in between them, especially on the south, there are still sundown towns. Not nearly as many as there were even just 20 years ago, but they do still exist.
That's total bs dude what year do you live in man? It's 2024 you've got more to fear from other black people then you do stopping in any white majority town.
We welcome all visitors to come and enjoy our beautiful country!
Dude-you don't know it, but so many Americans are praying for you to become saved. That's how religious we are.
Russia is a different universe, politically and culturally. But the biggest difference is political history and how it shaped culture. We Americans have high expectations about our quality of life and if they're not being met we get loud about it and make changes. But we're generally friendly to foreigners, unless they're illegals.
Graduate from a Texas high-school in 2016. Up until 2014 kids could take their hunting rifles in their trucks to school, so they could go straight from class to go hunting .

41% seems REALLY high for the US church goers. Maybe in the south. Or are they including those Americans who only attend on religious holidays like Easter or Christmas?
I agree, I think it's more in the South. Only 21% of all Americans go to church.

"Oh my God, it's massive!" Lewis, we knew you were referring to the bike, not the man.😂😂😂
25:08 most people in America fall into 2 camps, you either go with the flow, eat what you like, and end up with a weight problem, or you become very conscious of your diet and exercise habits and put in a lot of hard work to avoid it. Obviously different people have different genetics and health issues play a role, but that's the majority.
The thing about gun ownership is it's for everyone who hasn't been deemed mentally incompetent, an addict or a felon. School shootings are rare but highly publicized. The antigun community, instead of making schools hardened targets, would rather strip away everyone's constitutionally protected rights.
Depending on your state, you are allowed to stand your ground and allowed to defend your home. Some states make it mandatory to run away if possible.
As far as ease of buying a gun goes, yes it's easy but you still have to go through a background check and don't lie on it like Hunter Biden whose facing up to 20 years in prison for lying on the background check, possessing and owning a firearm. He mentions "mass shootings," they aren't what they used to be. Today if 4 or more people are injured or killed in a shooting it's called a mass shooting.
Yes, they had their rights to own firearms taken away from them in Canada by Trudeau, who is a modern-day tyrant.
Yes, we have Uber, but why not drive yourself rather than constantly pay someone else? He's a nice guy this kid. I wish him good luck!
Oh he should wear a helmet. Please be safe
Truth. And the law in most places.
😂
100% correct when you said the problem is between USA and Russian governments, not the people. As an American, I've met Russian people and they're all really cool people.
Cool video. I just have a few things to point out about his fairly slanted view on guns. America does have more gun crime and in many metropolitan areas like chicago it is very prevalent but comparing Canadian gun crime to american gun crime is no where near a fair comparison. The population of Canada is 10 times smaller than that of america and if ypu compare gun crime by percentage of population and gun owners it's not even comparable. Getting a gun is in no way easy legally. Waiting periods, background checks and licensing are all major hurdles. Those that commit gun crimes are dangerous individuals with or without guns and most likely obtain those guns through illegal means. These are terrible crimes however they are fairly misrepresented with a hard slant by anti gun groups to demonize firearms. Where I grew up you are trained from a very early age (8-10) how to use, care for and responsibly own firearms at hunters ed and other governmental programs before being awarded hunting licenses with pistol ownership and licensing being relegated to adults. Another point to consider is there is no way to eliminate gun crime by making laws and restrictions. Criminals get guns and that's a fact of life everywhere in the world and you do a disservice to the citizens by disarming those who follow the laws and responsibly own guns. Where I live specifically is an open carry state and it is normal to go shopping or drive around town with a firearm in view and is a wildly effective deterrent to gun crime. It's amazing how many people think twice about shooting people who are capable of shooting back. Some schools here even arm staff at public school for the protection of students and teachers alike as a deterrent. Gun owners get stereotyped in media though there are many more people who are perfectly stable and responsible gun owners and regularly use those firearms to provide food for their family and control the wildlife population to prevent overcrowding, starvation among species and protection of livestock and property from wildlife and nerdowells even though the media enjoys making these people out to be opponents of governmental over reach. They are also a huge element of national security and local government. People wildly understate how many member of american society are either reservists or veterans trained in combat by the federal government. You've watched videos stating the sheer number of us soldiers emplyed by the government but for every class of soldier joining each year just as many retire and return to the citizenry. These people pretty much all own firearms and are trained in their use to great effect. I personally feel much safer knowing that if I need to defend myself or my family from an unhinged threat I can build a wall of lead between myself and the attacker. And I believe that to be true of most anyone who cares about the well being of their loved ones. I'm not trying to ruffle feathers or start and argument just stating a few things that I feel are left out or not understand by people on the outside looking in.
