I think Adams been in L.A. to long. Here in the middle of the country I don't seem to have most of these problems. All the bathrooms are open and working at the gas stations, we know the left lane is for passing, I was smoking in a restaurant just the other day, never have a problem parking wherever. Public drinking is the only one we can't do here.
5 years ago cali was bad, i dont know how adam is still there, every gas station is a nitrmare let alone expensive, and God forbid you need to use restroom haha
His rant is obviously from the perspective of a visitor, who doesn't have to deal with the bs that comes from living somewhere. If he complains that LA is a nany state, he would hate germany.
As a European living in the US, this rant makes me very proud. America used to lead the world in everything, and now they are being left behind in almost every way - infrastructure, education, science, healthcare, wealth inequality, human rights. Nothing but rules, regulations and lawsuits. Sad. As Drew says, maybe one day they'll be allowed to be treated as adults?
Here in El Salvador, I've actually seen people go to the supermarket drunk, crack open beers, and drink them in the store as they are shopping, then they go to the checkout line, and pay for the empty can or bottle, and it's cool. Most of them have enough sense not to DUI. Also, the only parking meters down here are like downtown. I've actually been here for over three years now since I came back after living in the US for 20 years, and I've never seen one.
I went to pick my brother up at O’hare airport. It’s was cold out so all the homeless were in the airport and every bathroom was closed down because the airport didn’t want the homeless in them taking baths. Everywhere I went in that airport it smelled like urine. This problem will never be solved, it will only get worse everywhere as long as Democrats are in control
Imagine switching jobs and go w/o health insurance for a few weeks. Now think about getting sick and landing in the ER. How's a $5000 ER bill sound for some IV fluids and 1 hour in a room. That's if your lucky and don't need to be admitted. 1 night in the hospital can can land you a $20,000 medical bill. Then when you finally get over that sticker shock you find a seperate bill for each and every person that even looked at you. Doctor, Lab, Xray,etc. All the sudden $8 doesn't sound so bad.
Too busy fighting wars and policing the world... "Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes … known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.… No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare." - James Madison
See, it has definitely changed. I got my license the first week I was there without any tests. I don't remember paying anything either. The cameras were just starting to pop up when I was leaving, but they weren't too bad.
I was in the Army. The driving was something I liked. More so, it was just the live and let live quality of the people. You leave them alone, they leave you alone. I never had to deal with the government though, so who knows.
I couldn't agree more. What we have in the U.S. is the illusion of freedom and truth. An adult can't cross the street without worrying about a cop giving him a jaywalking ticket in most cities.
BTW, in regards to DUI. I know two guys that have done it, and wrecking a car, and one of them also his face, makes a person reexamine their life pretty quick.
+TheSnorkeler I'm not sure that any of his suggestions would require raising taxes, other than perhaps the public toilets. It seems like most of it is just a change in attitude.
were you in the military?...I was there for about 4 years with the air force...I certainly liked driving there better lol...although the speed cameras were getting a little ridiculous as like everywhere else they're a huge moneymaker for the local governments.
Loved the rant...but sadly, you'll get taken to the bank for parking all over Europe. I paid tickets in both France and Germany for parking in "red zones" if you will, and both times I wasn't parked for a full 20 minutes. Not sure where Adam parked, but otherwise good points.
I think it only seems the way he's describing it if your only visiting. If he thinks LA is bad for parking enforcement and regulation bleeding money out of you, then Amsterdam is worse. They don't enforce laws against drinking outside, but minimum bac is .04 rather than .08.
***** everone just slings political insults like opposing gang warfare, get used to it. Ryan's a blood and everything that disagrees with him is a crip.
Agreed. We used to be the land of the free and the home of the brave. Now we have our president defining fatherhood as an act of bravery...I'm paraphrasing here a bit. What he actually said is that it takes courage to be a father. My grandfather would fucking roll over in his grave if he heard that. The idea that parents deserve anything other than appreciation is a new one the selfish Baby Boomers introduced in between divorces.
It's funny because we have like 90% of the things Adam talks about here in Canada. Yet Americans like to make fun of Canadians? hmm, not surprised actually.
I think it's kind of a culture problem. If we suddenly had that much freedom in the US, hordes of people would start abusing it just for the sake of being jerks. Still, have to agree with the Ace man.
Even if it's allowed in restaurants, I still don't get how you can enjoy a meal while you're inhaling cigarette smoke all around you. Definitely glad I never picked up that nasty habit. You wanna smoke, go ahead and be respectful enough and go outside. I think if I did, I would still be considerate of those who don't.
I smoke like a chimney and agree it shouldn't be in restaurants, bars and casinos i think its almost necessary tho haha but i wouldn't smoke next to a family eating a meal thats just rude
I gather you were stationed here, the economy is a different animal, I grew up here in the 80s and returned in 2000. Its a shithole now and was back then as I remember as a kid. Living on base is one thing, but the economy is another. If you like nanny states, Germany is your ticket! And to add to this Adam rant, the piss factor is high here, and to think of it I was evacuated out of a shopping mall today from an islamic bomb threat,,google rhine ruhr zentrum bomb.

It's real easy to praise Europe all the day long when you're just a guest and not actually having to be full-fledged into the SYSTEM.
I thought he was going to rant on the BAND Europe and got all excited.
Unstoppabull it’s the final countdown
Most Americans don't realize that we live in a police state.
Most European's don't realize that they live in a police state where the government has a monopoly on force.

Europe is awesome Adam! I love Europe!

lol, I lived there a long time ago (and some of my memories are definitely clouded by the fact that I was young).
Agree with Adam about lawyers!
GREAT QUOTE!!!

@0HOON0 He goes on for another twenty minutes I had to cut it off somewhere
I know it sounds like hes gonna keep ggoing but i think he was wrapping it up, ill give it another listen to make sure
BTW, in regards to DUI. I know two guys that have done it, and wrecking a car, and one of them also his face, makes a person reexamine their life pretty quick.
I loved this show. Why did they stop working together?
They haven't! They have a daily podcast called the Adam and Drew Show thank the lorrrrrd :)
the radio station was sick and tired of telling Adam what to say and not to say. So they parted way it was really nothing.
So you're suggesting we raise taxes through the roof, Adam? That's how Europe works.
+TheSnorkeler I'm not sure that any of his suggestions would require raising taxes, other than perhaps the public toilets. It seems like most of it is just a change in attitude.
were you in the military?...I was there for about 4 years with the air force...I certainly liked driving there better lol...although the speed cameras were getting a little ridiculous as like everywhere else they're a huge moneymaker for the local governments.
Adam's rant wasn't over...

@rossastan Just out of interest, what is the difference between LA and london?
I think it only seems the way he's describing it if your only visiting.
If he thinks LA is bad for parking enforcement and regulation bleeding money out of you, then Amsterdam is worse.
They don't enforce laws against drinking outside, but minimum bac is .04 rather than .08.
those are some sexy sweeping generalizations!
@Spooky620 PART 2! :-D love the vids, thanks man
funny thing to say..but in this cartoon picture i see adam sitting on the other side of drew
Same guy who rants about taxes. Can't have your cake and eat it too
so post as part 2?
In SF they have self cleaning pay toilets; but the problem is the junkies use them to get high in.
Visitors and tourist always say things like this. Sorry Adam but usually no one place is truly ever "Better" than another just different..
he's not saying it's better as a whole. He's saying there are some things that are better. That's fair.
Dustin Nowaselski yes indeed.
***** O.k, i guess...."SS"
Ryan Ferretti I didn't know i was a liberal?? You know me better than i know i myself deer:):) thanks
***** everone just slings political insults like opposing gang warfare, get used to it. Ryan's a blood and everything that disagrees with him is a crip.
I know, but what can I do about it? the US government is not the government of the people any longer, everything they do the people disagree with.
Agreed. We used to be the land of the free and the home of the brave. Now we have our president defining fatherhood as an act of bravery...I'm paraphrasing here a bit. What he actually said is that it takes courage to be a father. My grandfather would fucking roll over in his grave if he heard that. The idea that parents deserve anything other than appreciation is a new one the selfish Baby Boomers introduced in between divorces.
I'm from South Park actually.
Maybe I'll move to Samoa.
Umm he’s not ranting on Europe he’s ranting on America / LA. Stupid title.
It's funny because we have like 90% of the things Adam talks about here in Canada. Yet Americans like to make fun of Canadians? hmm, not surprised actually.
This is a Europe rave, not rant.
What does the ACLU have to do with it??
I think it's kind of a culture problem. If we suddenly had that much freedom in the US, hordes of people would start abusing it just for the sake of being jerks. Still, have to agree with the Ace man.

I smoke like a chimney and agree it shouldn't be in restaurants, bars and casinos i think its almost necessary tho haha but i wouldn't smoke next to a family eating a meal thats just rude

How do you like paying for $8 a gallon for gasoline and insane tax hikes on all goods in every store?
9:19
If you don't like America, youuu can gettt outtttttt.
It's a good concept; but bad execution, so in SF everybody, including girls, just pisses on the street.
