LOL, yes we do talk about politics, but I assure you that most of us try to avoid it because it will usually turn into an argument . . . and once you open the door . . it's very hard to go back. Haha! 😆
I've joked about the debate between tobacco and marijuana is if the US government bans tobacco and legalize marijuana you'll see drug smugglers get caught trying to smuggle tobacco across the US southern border. Marijuana does have some medical benefits, and should be looked into.
Some people outside the US think Guam and Puerto Rico are states. In fact, there are many Americans who don't even know that Guam and Puerto Rico are US territories.
I was just going to say the same. Guam and Puerto Rico are U.S. territories, not states. But, Americans still do not need a passport to travel to those places. We also don’t need a visa to visit American Samoa, Virgin Islands, or the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands. Plus, all of these places have non-voting delegates in Congress.
@@ronRon-fl1qwAny health benefits provided by nicotine is offset by the harms of smoking tobacco. Millions of people die from tobacco related illnesses every year. Heart disease and cancer are among the leading causes of death. Nobody dies from marijuana (unless they are involved in an accident secondary to intoxication).
I have to agree with him on one thing Very strongly agree when u both disagreed is as a American ik what im saying dont bring up politics we cant even talk to our own family members on politics anymore ever since 2016 its a issue u might get in a fight or even physically attacted if u feel differently than them its so sad what the USA became in 2016
My mother in law got mad at me when I quit because she doesn't have anyone to stand outside with anymore 😂 people are weird, you'd think she'd be happy I was trying to be healthier. Cigarette have lots of chemicals add to the tobacco, weed is natural.
I live in Richmond Virginia area. The home of Phillip Morris; a lot of people still use cigarettes around here. A lot!😮 I have a cannabis card so I can smoke weed and you're not supposed to be using in public spaces. That's rude and illegal here.
Yeah, it's weird. Seems like smoking tobacco products was a thing/fad for the older Gen X, Boomer, and Silent Gen folks. I'm mid-Gen X (b: 1973) and I don't recall anybody in my class ever smoking cigarettes. Maybe a couple, or three, but it just wasn't a big thing. My junior college 5 miles east of town used to be like "High School with ashtrays" as I used to call it back in the 80s, but once I got there in the early 90s ('91-'93) they had already enacted the ban on smoking in public buildings, so it was already on its way out.
The reason smoking is frowned upon here is because of 2nd hand smoke. It’s fine to smoke on your own property but smoking in public is rude because the smoke is bad for other people too
I was glad when we finally banned smoking in public places. Non-smokers can enjoy themselves without a cloud of smoke hanging in the air. 🤮 I hated it because smoke from cigarettes always gave me terrible headaches.
Your subscriber numbers are coming up guys. Great. I have been with you from the beginning. You are wonderful to watch and I am impressed every episode with you English and knowledge of the world that you know. I hope your channel gets to the point where you can make some real money from UA-cam.
Yes I agree, they are very knowledgeable. I love watching their videos also and praying that their channel grows and make a lot of money so that they will be able to visit the US
Marijuana is a herb in the rosemary family. Tobacco is in the nightshade family. Other nightshade plants in the family are potatos, tomato, eggplant, and peppers. Oddly potatoes are a vegetable, (a root vegetable), while tobacco, tomato, eggplant, and peppers are a fruit.
This guy’s advice is mostly accurate. As far as the 52 states, maybe those people are including the two U.S. territories (Guam & Puerto Rico). But they’re not states. The U.S. has only 50 states. Love your videos and reactions. 😊
@@bigbk3278 Both pollute less than gas cars. Trains may be even better than electric cars, due to the sheer amount of vehicles they could keep off the road.
I only discuss politics and guns with people I trust or know. Or I have generalized conversations and change the subject if I see it turning negative. I was raised near Washington DC, and I lived next door to an Indian family, a Jordanian family, a family originally from New York, and a family from Vietnam. I learned to accept different cultures and understand that ethnicity doesn't matter - character, integrity and morals matter.
I think other countries think we have no culture because we are a young country, he was right about politics…people get into fights over politics ! Ty guys ❤from Missouri 🇺🇸
9:25 That was the quickest, most peaceful resolution to a brotherly quarrel I've ever seen. And I have an older brother, so I know what I'm talking about.
I live in Oregon and we do not have a sales tax. In Washington state, there is no tax on food. THC does not kill you or harm you. Tobacco products cause lung cancer and throat cancer.
The United States actually had a far better national public transportation network back in the 1800's. There were rails that ran the entire length and made stops in every town and city, big or small, this was because the trains used steam and would have to stop and fill up their water tanks. Other times coaches were actually multi coaches, and was a combination of moving gold and silver coins as well as gold and silver dust, and passengers, just as trains. This is how Wells Fargo came about, as they were running more people to the west, than precious metals, now they run mostly armoured vehicles to and from banks, as well as their own banking chain. Most of these towns/cities were built along the railways for the ability to have access and use. After the development of the motor vehicle, the coaches developed into other modes such as the Continental, and Grey Hound bus, and their stations. Eventually as personal vehicles became more affordable, the use of long trip public transportation has narrowed down available routes. Where once a small town had access to national travel using a bus, it is now nearly obsolete, most national long distance is by flight. Actually the U.S. way of taxing goods and services is better than the VAT tax. This is because of the wide U.S. geography, it helps small towns, and counties to generate revenues to help the local area without having to depend on the state Capital legislatures to allocate state sales taxes to a particular locality. Everyone pretty much knows the larger the city the bigger their proportion of state tax revenues they obtain, for infrastructure, schools, etc. So a local tax is wise to help benefit local economy, and the needs of the public, in our area it helps in regards to running "The meals on wheels" program which helps to feed low income peoples, or the retired elderly that can no longer work, thus unable to, but must choose between their medication, heating, or food, due to high inflation, like it is currently under Obiden economics. We have an excise tax on prepared foods as an example, monies from revenues actually lower the tax liabilities of homes, of course sadly the way the payout is structured it does help those who can afford to pay taxes, more so than those who can only afford a smaller home. Example a Home valued at $300,000.00 USD the first $50,000.00 home value is not assessed in the tax levy (mill rate) of a home. But if someone owns a home that is valued at or below $50,000.00 they don't get any reduction in taxes. One thing that does irritate me is the fact the excise tax is also used to place a cap on sales taxes on cars, of no more than $500.00. So a person that can only afford to buy a $10,000.00 vehicle pays $500.00 in taxes, while a person that buys a $75,000.00 vehicle is capped with paying a tax of $500.00. Let's do a little math and show who is actually benefitting. The person buying a $10,000.00 vehicle would have to pay $750.00 (a reduction of $250.00 in sales taxes). The other buying a $75,000.00 vehicle would have to pay $5,625.00 in taxes ( a reduction of $5,125.00 in sales taxes). Yet is one considered that those who can afford to buy a $75,000.00 vehicle paid the full amount of $5,625.00, then the over all tax mill rate of the property tax would drop, as it would offset the cost of excise tax use. Granted the yearly property tax on a $75,000.00 vehicle would be significantly higher than that of the $10,000 vehicle sale price, those who can afford less are more disposed of being made to suffer than those that can afford a higher purchase price. Especially if one considers the $10,000.00 vehicle has 144,000 miles, with no existing warranty, and the $75,000.00 vehicle has 5 miles, and a 5 year warranty, the odds of the $10,000.00 vehicle owner bearing an expensive out of pocket cost from repairs are far higher. The tax mill rates do not consider disposable income when indexing S.C. vehicle property tax. There is an old saying, "One can't draw blood from a turnip, but the government can". They always seem to find a way to take things that are working fine, and either overcomplicate, or break it. This is so that government workers can get a paycheck. Basically government workers do not contribute to the local or national GDP, because they don't actually produce anything, what they do is take it from those that do contribute, and redistribute to fund their preferences.
VAT tax is higher than the US sales tax (generally 4-10% of sales price depending on the city, county or state you're in). However, in Europe, VAT tax is hidden in the price making the cost of some items like meals much higher than in the states.
Personal space issue. It’s not about “shaking hands” and such. Is more like when you’re standing in a line, you keep 3-4 feet between you and the next person. Anything less makes people feel uncomfortable and crowded. Sometimes it’s unavoidable, like in the subway and crowds at venues…,,but when there is a choice, leave some space. I think Northern Europe and Brits are the same. Southern Europe, Asia, India, Africa…I see pictures of people standing in lines so close together that they are touching one another. Americans would freak at that.
Very funny response. Marijuana is mood-altering herb. Makes one happy (but slow), then eat anything that does not move faster than you do, then naptime. Tobacco has thousands of carcinogenic additives. That is why they were called 'cancer sticks'. I know not an issue for the 2 of you, but in many eateries with a liquor license they card everybody. Some years back, I went to dinner with friends--I was in my 50s--the server carded me. I thanked him for the compliment and we all burst out laughing. You are right we do talk all the time about politics--on all levels. It is just it usually becomes combative in recent years. There was a time we could respectfully disagree. The presenter did not share that the portion sizes here in the States are HUGE. Not just the no-cost add ons--it is the sizes of the meals and the drinks. Prepare to put on weight--especially if you visit the south. Love day drives--the man is right--a 3 hr 1 way drive is nothing. During fall, I will go leaf-peeping and drive for hours admiring the fall colors, find a local place for lunch, then drive home. I consider that a lovely Sat. I am always amazed when visitors are intimidated by lengthy drives. Yes, we are very loyal to our cars/trucks.
We have taxes to support government spending. It pays for roads, police, firemen, public education, cleaner water and air projects, garbage disposal, sewage management, the military, healthcare, parks, research ... the list goes on. But the short answer is that taxes make the country a nicer place to live.
First time my uncle came from Europe and he gave me a hug without me expecting, inside I was like whoa, your a dude Im a dude no no no good sir back up a bit
1:24 Even with people we know, yes shaking hands, maybe standing close together if absolutely necessary, but generally an arms length away is the normal distance between people. I personally get uncomfortable standing in line. 3:47 yes, most of us try to drive as far as we can before stopping. I have driven "home" to my parents house which is a 4 hour drive, one way . Once I did it home and back for a funeral. This is a normal thing for us because the US is big so going anywhere takes time. 4:27 VAT and sales tax are the same, it's just that ours isn't added in where VAT is. The reason is that the suppliers don't want the hassle of putting tax into the price. 6:51 tipping for food :tipping is for service. I ordered food to go last night, the restaurant tried to add a tip. I had to put in 0.00 to take out the tip. You don't have to tip if you are not sitting down and someone isn't bringing you everything. 10:33 Young people can look older, and older people can look young. You need to bring an ID, the cashier can be fired if they break the rule. Drinking age is 21 because teens would drink, drive and die in crashes. Driving is necessary in certain areas, so it became a big problem. 12:45 politics is common here, but it becomes a fight between people to quickly, so it's common to not bring it up 15:04 culture : there is a perception that we don't have culture because the US is a "new" country. 17:55 pay attention to what hospital they are taking you to there are different kinds. "for profit" and "not for profit" - ask for bill assistance, don't be meek. Tell them you are on vacation and don't have American insurance. It might be called " reduced cost of care or financial assistance." 18:18 Puerto Rico and Guam are territories not states
Yes we like our personal space and we like our cars yes I drive 9 hours just to go see my kids every other month or every 2 months I'm used to it it's no big deal and yes we shake hands we don't kiss on the cheek unless you're a family member in the sales tax some states don't even have tax on food and certain things but it's not like a real big deal in tipping things waitresses don't make over three or four dollars an hour that's why they work for their tips
Mark didn’t mention one other “DO NOT TALK ABOUT” things… he should have included‘religion’. The big three DO NOT MENTION’S IN CONVERSATION are - Religion, Guns or Politics! There are families who are split and do not even talk to one another because of one or more of these topics.
We definitely do not talk politics in social settings - some do - but it's considered rude. That includes the South - the only exception is when you know everyone at the gathering and everyone agrees with your point of view but if it's a gathering of unfamiliar people it isn't done.
The rule is, no religion or politics(this includes gun laws) in polite conversation. Generally, unless your friends or family, you're supposed to avoid any conversations that could spark an argument. It's never small talk or watercooler conversation. And just because its considered polite... doesn't mean everyone does it.
Also nicotine in cigarettes is also a drug. The difference is that cigarettes are made with lots of toxic chemicals. Weed has dangers too but it isn’t treated with extra toxic chemicals
Americans do love to talk about politics but also hate it. Family dinners like Thanksgiving and Christmas are a no-no for politics. It turns what should have been a happy occasion into miserable one. Even among friends, politics can turn a night out on the town into a bad experience if you disagree with each other. If you do agree though, then it can be actually enjoyable and a bonding moment. Anyways, that is what he was referring to here. It's usually better to not talk about it if you want to have a good time.
Route 66 was our first interstate highway from when the automobile took over as our primary mode of transportation. You could get on Route 66 in Chicago and follow that same highway and you would end up in Los Angeles.
I think it's funny how, as warm and friendly as we mostly are, we like our personal space. Some of us are huggers (we generally only kiss close family members). Shaking hands is perfectly fine, and proper especially in a business setting. You WILL find some people who aren't comfortable shaking hands because they're germophobes, LOL. I like his suggestion about eating the local fare... to me that's half the fun of traveling. I can go to a chain restaurant like Chilis at home.
I found it interesting that you 2 had the conversation about which is worse for your health, cigarettes or marijuana; I still remember hearing something in high school between 2 complete strangers: I was next door at the gas station, waiting for my mom to pick me up (I went there every other day after school to get a fountain drink, a pack of gum, & sometimes a couple of granola bars); one day I heard these women talking about the dangers of smoking & 1 of them said that she knew someone who had died of lung cancer - AND SHE NEVER SMOKED! It was caused by all of the second-hand smoke she'd been exposed to for years! Also, my dad & aunt were both smokers; my dad had a heart attack when I was 15-going-on-16 (lived; never touched another cigarette) & my aunt had 2 different strokes late in life, the 2nd of which left her homebound. Now, I'm 420 friendly, but I'm also on some prescriptions that don't mix well with pot, so I do have to agree with the brother in white: if you insist on smoking any, please do it away from me.
I am American i prefer the sales tax the way it is because if they raise the praise of the tax you will know it keeps the government more honest and keeps the tax down for example in the state of Kentucky where I live sales tax is 06% in UK the vat is 20%
In person theres less political or gun discussions than you would think. But in general his advice which I recommend as well is don't bring them up and you'll be ok
Yes, biggest mistake foreigners make when coming to the USA is thinking they will drive across our country 😂 Not the only place people make that mistake. Club Med in Mexico gets Europeans who book their Mexican vacation in the Middle of the Summer😂
A lot of Americans get a loan for their car. Usually something like a 6 year loan. You can probably get a cheap car for like 2k that you can pay right away that’s how I got my first car
Some folks make the mistake in thinking there are 52 U.S. states, 50 continental, & then Alaska, and Hawaii. But there are 48 Continental, and then Alaska and Hawaii. However some also make the mistake by including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, which are among 5 protectant territories. But why wouldn't folks assume that a location called "U.S. Virgin Islands" wouldn't be considered as a state? What happens is the folks of the 5 territories voted to be under the U.S. protection, but pretty much have voted to keep their independence. I have no beef with either choice made, so as long as the choice is made of it's peoples. The other three protected territories are Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands in the North Pacific Ocean, and American Samoa in the South Pacific Ocean.
vat-value added tax and included in the listed price. Sales tax in the US added on at the point of sale. Sales tax is better because you see how much the government is screwing you,
Every town in the US has its own tax rates. Manufacturers often print the price of their products right on the package. Printing the full price, including local sales tax for all the different tax jurisdictions would be very expensive as each manufacturer would need to design and print thousands of different packages for each product. By printing only one package, companies like Walmart can buy huge quantities cheaper, and distribute them based on expected sales per store without worrying about mispriced items causing confusion.
The USA has 50 states, but we also have U.S Territories such as Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S Virgin Islands, Republic of Palau, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Republic of the Marshall Islands, and American Samoa per U.S Department of Interior website
Palau and the Marshall Islands (and the federated states of Micronesia as well) are not U.S. Territories. They are sovereign countries which have signed “Compact(s) of Free Association” with the U.S. The current agreements expire in 2043, typically being renegotiated every 20 years.
Correct me if I'm wrong brothers. Isn't hashish the same root word as assasin in Arabic? The story I heard is that sultans would give potential assasins hahish to recruit them because then they would be so impressionable, easily manipulated, dependent and controllable that the would be assassins would murder for them.
Fun fact: The United States of America isn't just comprised of states, it also has territories. Wikipedia - The United States has control over fourteen territories. Five of them (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) have a permanent, nonmilitary population, while nine of them (the United States Minor Outlying Islands) do not. With the exception of Navassa Island, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, which are located in the Caribbean, all territories are located in the Pacific Ocean. One territory, Palmyra Atoll, is considered to be incorporated, meaning the full body of the Constitution has been applied to it; the other territories are unincorporated, meaning the Constitution does not fully apply to them. Ten territories (the Minor Outlying Islands and American Samoa) are considered to be unorganized, meaning they have not had an organic act enacted by Congress; the four other territories are organized, meaning an organic act has been enacted by Congress. The five inhabited territories each have limited autonomy in addition to having territorial legislatures and governors, but residents cannot vote in federal elections, although all are represented by non-voting delegates in the House. but even a fuck ton of Americans citizens themselves don't even know this information because they think Puerto Rico is a completely different country and always gives them a lot shit around election time when Puerto Rico asks for stuff because they think Puerto Rico isn't a part of the United States. That's how shitty the American educational system is.
Great reaction as always guys! I agree with Red on the Tobacco / Marijuana issue (for the record I do smoke cigarettes sadly, but I use marijuana) but I appreciate Wolf's "agree to disagree." Keep up the great work and I look forward to all your content!
I used to know a couple of brothers that grew up working on cars. They buy a new car every year for $500 and put $500 worth of parts (and their own free labour) into it 😅
Hey guys, I was very impressed with all the extra knowledge you guys have about certain stuff. You're two pretty smart and intelligent dudes. Props to you both. But yeah, about the 50 stares thing, a lot of foreigners get confused, because they assume that the Lower continuous states, or as we call them, the Lower 48, are actually 50 in count, right? No, there's just 48 in the mainland, with Hawaii and Alaska being the last 2 for a total of 50. The US flag prior to those two being added had a square field of 6 rows of 8 stars each. Then when Hawaii and Alaska were added in 1949 and 1950, they changed the field to alternating rows of 6 stars and 5 stars each. 5 rows of 6 stars (30 total) plus 4 rows of 5 stars (20 total) = 50 stars all together.
The US has 50 states one federal district Washington DC and five habitable territories American Samoa the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico
You good lord guys…you NEVER talk politics as a visitor here! Even as an American, you NEVER want to engage a stranger in a political discussion!! If I were to travel to The South, I would keep my political opinions to myself. Sure politics is spoken ABOUT all the time here on the media and in social media, but out in public, you better not, because it might get REAL ugly REAL quick.
Yes, talking politics these days seems to always lead to arguments and high blood pressure. But talking politics with a fellow American is one thing...talking politics with a visitor is quite another. And when I say "talking politics" with a visitor, that means the visitor telling us how dumb the US is. As far as I am concerned, if you are not from here, stfu about US politics. Discuss US politics among your foreigner friends, if you want, otherwise just keep it to yourself.
Why some other countries think theres 52 or more states is because we also have sovereign states and dependent territories such as Bermuda, bermuda islands, falkland islands,Puerto Rico. so only 50 states in U.S.A. and the rest are sovereign. FYI...
Yes we do talk about politics . Towards the end of this video i think y'all were talking about the us territories like Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, i think there is 14 now , don't quote me on that .
I feel anytime you inhale smoke into your lungs it doesn't matter what kind of smoke you are inhaling (even cooking fire smoke),It's bad for your lungs. ❤🦋❤🦋❤
The tobacco companies lied to Congress and the people for years about the dangers of second-hand smoke. We now have anti-smoking ads in the US. The age for buying cigarettes is 21 in the USA. It was raised since this video was made. Marijuana is still against federal law in the US, but some states have laws allowing it. Polling seems to indicate that the majority of people favor making marijuana legal. There are stores in some states that openly sell marijuana.
@@HABIBIBROTHERS1 seriously. We could definitely fly you out here lol. The only thing is-realistically, how hard is it to acquire visas for you two? And do you have passports?
This video is 6 years old. You have to be 21 to buy tobacco also. Some places ask everyone for ID (even if they are 90 years old), some don't, so you should always be prepared.
Tobacco that has been processed into cigarettes, or cigars, are loaded with heavy metals, very addictive nicotine that has been increased, and other poisonous chemicals. Look it up to get the chemical breakdowns, and compare the two plants. It was an eye opener for me. And I watched my mom die from Tobacco addiction with multiple cancers, emphysema, etc. Oh well.
Puerto Rico and Washington DC. A lot of people try to add these as a state. Puerto Rico is a US territory and Washington. DC is the district of Columbia and the capital of the United States but the small Area does not reside in any state. Hawaii and Alaska are states
Cannabis is a mild euphoriant but smoking it isn't good for your lungs, better to use edible forms. It doesn't destroy your mental faculties like alcohol does.
I agree with when you said marijuana removes the mind, but I definitely agree that cigarettes are worse. I've been around both weed and cigarettes, my conclusion is that cigarette smell worse lol Oh by the way, the two that Europeans probably think are states are Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, they are called territories. I believe they can vote and have the protection of the US military but they don't have some things that mainland states have
The US has territories. It has more than two though, so I wouldn't think that would be the cause of the 52 states confusion. Maybe some people think of the US has having 50 states, then are adding Alaska and Hawaii even though those are already counted as part of the 50?
Tobacco smoking has been a dying fad for the last 25 years or so. Ever since they outlawed smoking in public buildings (which was a good thing, imo) more and more people just quit smoking. The way I look at it, it was a popular fad among older Gen X and Boomers. I'm mid-Gen X and I couldn't tell you if any in my Class smoked regular tobacco. But older kids and adults did at the time. Unfortunately, Marijuana (Pot) has replaced tobacco cigarettes. But like others said, Pot does have some medicinal properties so it's not all bad, I guess. I made the mistake recently of consuming some 25mg Pot candy and they fucked me up. Got my head spinning so bad, I couldn't stand up.
8:32 I don't think you'll typically get high from somebody smoking marijuana near you. I say this because I've had people smoke it near me, and that's never happened. Cigarettes are definitely worse than marijuana. Marijuana has positive medical applications, cigarettes just slowly kill you with no other benefit.
Also, nicotine is highly addictive, they say almost or maybe more than cocaine. Aspirin is very bad for your kidneys. It's not always agree or disagree, there's a lot of grey area, and different people have different situations. Marijuana too can help a headache or backache. And your first cigarettes definitely affects your mind, you will be dizzy and might get sick.
If we’re talking USD $500 will get you scrap, $2000 will get you a vehicle that will get you where you need to go for a couple years before it dies on you.
American territories and freely associated states, not counted in the 50: American Samoa, Guam, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Republic of Palau, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands
That’s so funny. “Don’t touch the Americans”. This is his opinion only. And I’m from Southern California. And we have public transport in almost if not every city. We call them city buses. 😂. And when it comes to tipping. I only tip well if I get great service. And take my word for it I use to wait tables myself. And in California we make $16 an hour minimum. A lot of places pay $20 an hour no experience fast food you will start off at $20-$22 an hour. And I do hate being around people that smoke marijuana. You don’t want your kids getting contact high on someone smoking weed next to you. We went to Vegas and so many people smoke weed that you can’t walk the strip without getting high. So sick!
Hi handsome men ❤my boys (grown up men) are college grads, with great jobs, 1 son has a 2020 Ford F-150 Platinum ($33,500 used) the other has 2022 Subaru Outback that costed him 39,000 last year
That reminds me, I need a smoke. By the way, I'm 73 and I smoke both, so I'll have my next of kin notify you if it was death by pot or cigarettes. My money is on cigarettes though.
Yeah, nations like France and Italy people greet people with hugs and kisses on the cheek. Americans don't normally do that UNLESS they are family. Getting into an American' s face is very threatening. I didn't mind it so much overseas, but if an American got into my 'bubble' it would be extremely threatening to me. We don't have sales tax where I live. But, we do put taxes on tourist activities including hotels. It's really hard for teens to buy alcohol and cigarettes in the US. They card EVERYONE. If the clerk doesn't check ID, they could lose their job. Also, if the ID doesn't look right, they can refuse to sell to you even if you are the person legally portrayed in the ID. We used to be able to talk politics to anyone, Lately, it's gotten crazy. Not worth bringing it up. I can still talk it with older friends, the younger generation can't seem to do it. Yes, it is different depending on the area you live in. I was raised all over the world, but hometown was Baltimore, MD. I couldn't stand living there. I'm now out in the Rocky Mountains and it's a whole different culture. Obama at one time said the "52" states. There are 50, we could add more, but we haven't. We do have territories, but they are not states.
I agree with the brother on the right. Cigarettes are much worse. They ad extra stuff to cigarettes to make them more addictive. Marjuana is all natural and much less addictive.

LOL, yes we do talk about politics, but I assure you that most of us try to avoid it because it will usually turn into an argument . . . and once you open the door . . it's very hard to go back. Haha! 😆
It's the one of two elephants in the room not to be talked about. The other is religion.
I'd put it right up there with the "don't try to take a selfie with a bear" warning, right about now. 🤣🤣
Shaking hands is the standard American greeting. We like about an arms length away for conversations.😄
Weed has medicinal purposes to you don't just get high, but cigarettes are just plain awful for everyone 😊
I've joked about the debate between tobacco and marijuana is if the US government bans tobacco and legalize marijuana you'll see drug smugglers get caught trying to smuggle tobacco across the US southern border. Marijuana does have some medical benefits, and should be looked into.
Some people outside the US think Guam and Puerto Rico are states. In fact, there are many Americans who don't even know that Guam and Puerto Rico are US territories.
I was just going to say the same. Guam and Puerto Rico are U.S. territories, not states. But, Americans still do not need a passport to travel to those places. We also don’t need a visa to visit American Samoa, Virgin Islands, or the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands. Plus, all of these places have non-voting delegates in Congress.
Yea that’s what he was talking about at the end I think
If somebody asked me how far away is such a place, I wouldn't answer in miles but rather than in time. "It's about 15 minutes from here."
I have a don't don't litter in the United States we don't like when people throw garbage down that's why we have a lot of garbage cans sitting around
Smoking cigs is definitely worst. Marijuana at least has medical benefits. There's nothing beneficial about cigarettes
My dad died from lung cancer. I absolutely hate cigarettes!
Smoking either is bad, and nicotine does have benefits
@@ronRon-fl1qwAny health benefits provided by nicotine is offset by the harms of smoking tobacco. Millions of people die from tobacco related illnesses every year. Heart disease and cancer are among the leading causes of death. Nobody dies from marijuana (unless they are involved in an accident secondary to intoxication).
I have to agree with him on one thing Very strongly agree when u both disagreed is as a American ik what im saying dont bring up politics we cant even talk to our own family members on politics anymore ever since 2016 its a issue u might get in a fight or even physically attacted if u feel differently than them its so sad what the USA became in 2016
Literally half this country used to smoke. Today, just under 9%.
My mother in law got mad at me when I quit because she doesn't have anyone to stand outside with anymore 😂 people are weird, you'd think she'd be happy I was trying to be healthier. Cigarette have lots of chemicals add to the tobacco, weed is natural.
I live in Richmond Virginia area. The home of Phillip Morris; a lot of people still use cigarettes around here. A lot!😮
I have a cannabis card so I can smoke weed and you're not supposed to be using in public spaces. That's rude and illegal here.
Yeah, it's weird. Seems like smoking tobacco products was a thing/fad for the older Gen X, Boomer, and Silent Gen folks. I'm mid-Gen X (b: 1973) and I don't recall anybody in my class ever smoking cigarettes. Maybe a couple, or three, but it just wasn't a big thing. My junior college 5 miles east of town used to be like "High School with ashtrays" as I used to call it back in the 80s, but once I got there in the early 90s ('91-'93) they had already enacted the ban on smoking in public buildings, so it was already on its way out.
Marijuana is not legal to smoke in public, even though it has been legalized in some states.
The reason smoking is frowned upon here is because of 2nd hand smoke. It’s fine to smoke on your own property but smoking in public is rude because the smoke is bad for other people too
I was glad when we finally banned smoking in public places. Non-smokers can enjoy themselves without a cloud of smoke hanging in the air. 🤮 I hated it because smoke from cigarettes always gave me terrible headaches.

Marijuana is a herb in the rosemary family.
Tobacco is in the nightshade family.
Other nightshade plants in the family are potatos, tomato, eggplant, and peppers.
Oddly potatoes are a vegetable, (a root vegetable), while tobacco, tomato, eggplant, and peppers are a fruit.
This guy’s advice is mostly accurate. As far as the 52 states, maybe those people are including the two U.S. territories (Guam & Puerto Rico). But they’re not states. The U.S. has only 50 states. Love your videos and reactions. 😊

“I hate tax. Fuck that shit”.
Well said.
9:25 That was the quickest, most peaceful resolution to a brotherly quarrel I've ever seen. And I have an older brother, so I know what I'm talking about.
I live in Oregon and we do not have a sales tax. In Washington state, there is no tax on food. THC does not kill you or harm you. Tobacco products cause lung cancer and throat cancer.
..or COPD.
Because they add in so many other chemicals.
The United States actually had a far better national public transportation network back in the 1800's.
There were rails that ran the entire length and made stops in every town and city, big or small, this was because the trains used steam
and would have to stop and fill up their water tanks.
Other times coaches were actually multi coaches, and was a combination of moving gold and silver coins as well as gold and silver dust, and passengers, just as trains.
This is how Wells Fargo came about, as they were running more people to the west, than precious metals, now they run mostly armoured vehicles to and from banks, as well
as their own banking chain.
Most of these towns/cities were built along the railways for the ability to have access and use.
After the development of the motor vehicle, the coaches developed into other modes such as the Continental, and Grey Hound bus, and their stations.
Eventually as personal vehicles became more affordable, the use of long trip public transportation has narrowed down available routes.
Where once a small town had access to national travel using a bus, it is now nearly obsolete, most national long distance is by flight.
Actually the U.S. way of taxing goods and services is better than the VAT tax.
This is because of the wide U.S. geography, it helps small towns, and counties to generate revenues to help the local area without having to depend on the state Capital legislatures
to allocate state sales taxes to a particular locality.
Everyone pretty much knows the larger the city the bigger their proportion of state tax revenues they obtain, for infrastructure, schools, etc.
So a local tax is wise to help benefit local economy, and the needs of the public, in our area it helps in regards to running "The meals on wheels" program which helps
to feed low income peoples, or the retired elderly that can no longer work, thus unable to, but must choose between their medication, heating, or food, due to high inflation, like it is currently
under Obiden economics.
We have an excise tax on prepared foods as an example, monies from revenues actually lower the tax liabilities of homes, of course sadly the way the payout is structured it does help those who can afford to pay taxes, more so than those who can only afford a smaller home.
Example a Home valued at $300,000.00 USD the first $50,000.00 home value is not assessed in the tax levy (mill rate) of a home.
But if someone owns a home that is valued at or below $50,000.00 they don't get any reduction in taxes.
One thing that does irritate me is the fact the excise tax is also used to place a cap on sales taxes on cars, of no more than $500.00.
So a person that can only afford to buy a $10,000.00 vehicle pays $500.00 in taxes, while a person that buys a $75,000.00 vehicle is capped with paying a tax of $500.00.
Let's do a little math and show who is actually benefitting.
The person buying a $10,000.00 vehicle would have to pay $750.00 (a reduction of $250.00 in sales taxes).
The other buying a $75,000.00 vehicle would have to pay $5,625.00 in taxes ( a reduction of $5,125.00 in sales taxes).
Yet is one considered that those who can afford to buy a $75,000.00 vehicle paid the full amount of $5,625.00, then the over all tax mill rate of the property tax would drop, as it would offset
the cost of excise tax use.
Granted the yearly property tax on a $75,000.00 vehicle would be significantly higher than that of the $10,000 vehicle sale price, those who can afford less are more disposed of being made to suffer than those that can afford a higher purchase price.
Especially if one considers the $10,000.00 vehicle has 144,000 miles, with no existing warranty, and the $75,000.00 vehicle has 5 miles, and a 5 year warranty, the odds of the $10,000.00 vehicle owner bearing an expensive out of pocket cost from repairs are far higher.
The tax mill rates do not consider disposable income when indexing S.C. vehicle property tax.
There is an old saying, "One can't draw blood from a turnip, but the government can".
They always seem to find a way to take things that are working fine, and either overcomplicate, or break it. This is so that government workers can get a paycheck.
Basically government workers do not contribute to the local or national GDP, because they don't actually produce anything, what they do is take it from those that do contribute, and redistribute to fund their preferences.
Puerto Rico and The Virgin Islands are territories not States
Guam too!
VAT tax is higher than the US sales tax (generally 4-10% of sales price depending on the city, county or state you're in). However, in Europe, VAT tax is hidden in the price making the cost of some items like meals much higher than in the states.
Personal space issue. It’s not about “shaking hands” and such. Is more like when you’re standing in a line, you keep 3-4 feet between you and the next person. Anything less makes people feel uncomfortable and crowded. Sometimes it’s unavoidable, like in the subway and crowds at venues…,,but when there is a choice, leave some space. I think Northern Europe and Brits are the same. Southern Europe, Asia, India, Africa…I see pictures of people standing in lines so close together that they are touching one another. Americans would freak at that.
Very funny response. Marijuana is mood-altering herb. Makes one happy (but slow), then eat anything that does not move faster than you do, then naptime. Tobacco has thousands of carcinogenic additives. That is why they were called 'cancer sticks'. I know not an issue for the 2 of you, but in many eateries with a liquor license they card everybody. Some years back, I went to dinner with friends--I was in my 50s--the server carded me. I thanked him for the compliment and we all burst out laughing. You are right we do talk all the time about politics--on all levels. It is just it usually becomes combative in recent years. There was a time we could respectfully disagree. The presenter did not share that the portion sizes here in the States are HUGE. Not just the no-cost add ons--it is the sizes of the meals and the drinks. Prepare to put on weight--especially if you visit the south. Love day drives--the man is right--a 3 hr 1 way drive is nothing. During fall, I will go leaf-peeping and drive for hours admiring the fall colors, find a local place for lunch, then drive home. I consider that a lovely Sat. I am always amazed when visitors are intimidated by lengthy drives. Yes, we are very loyal to our cars/trucks.
Some people believe that cigarettes are worse because it's been drummed into their heads that cigarettes cause all cancers!!!❤

We have taxes to support government spending. It pays for roads, police, firemen, public education, cleaner water and air projects, garbage disposal, sewage management, the military, healthcare, parks, research ... the list goes on. But the short answer is that taxes make the country a nicer place to live.
Yall Are funny. You remind me of my two brothers. Keep up the good work. Love your videos 😊😊
First time my uncle came from Europe and he gave me a hug without me expecting, inside I was like whoa, your a dude Im a dude no no no good sir back up a bit
1:24 Even with people we know, yes shaking hands, maybe standing close together if absolutely necessary, but generally an arms length away is the normal distance between people. I personally get uncomfortable standing in line.
3:47 yes, most of us try to drive as far as we can before stopping. I have driven "home" to my parents house which is a 4 hour drive, one way . Once I did it home and back for a funeral. This is a normal thing for us because the US is big so going anywhere takes time.
4:27 VAT and sales tax are the same, it's just that ours isn't added in where VAT is. The reason is that the suppliers don't want the hassle of putting tax into the price.
6:51 tipping for food :tipping is for service. I ordered food to go last night, the restaurant tried to add a tip. I had to put in 0.00 to take out the tip. You don't have to tip if you are not sitting down and someone isn't bringing you everything.
10:33 Young people can look older, and older people can look young. You need to bring an ID, the cashier can be fired if they break the rule. Drinking age is 21 because teens would drink, drive and die in crashes. Driving is necessary in certain areas, so it became a big problem.
12:45 politics is common here, but it becomes a fight between people to quickly, so it's common to not bring it up
15:04 culture : there is a perception that we don't have culture because the US is a "new" country.
17:55 pay attention to what hospital they are taking you to there are different kinds. "for profit" and "not for profit" - ask for bill assistance, don't be meek. Tell them you are on vacation and don't have American insurance. It might be called " reduced cost of care or financial assistance."
18:18 Puerto Rico and Guam are territories not states
Yes we like our personal space and we like our cars yes I drive 9 hours just to go see my kids every other month or every 2 months I'm used to it it's no big deal and yes we shake hands we don't kiss on the cheek unless you're a family member in the sales tax some states don't even have tax on food and certain things but it's not like a real big deal in tipping things waitresses don't make over three or four dollars an hour that's why they work for their tips
Mark didn’t mention one other “DO NOT TALK ABOUT” things… he should have included‘religion’. The big three DO NOT MENTION’S IN CONVERSATION are - Religion, Guns or Politics! There are families who are split and do not even talk to one another because of one or more of these topics.
Ah thank you a guy that does good videos.
We definitely do not talk politics in social settings - some do - but it's considered rude. That includes the South - the only exception is when you know everyone at the gathering and everyone agrees with your point of view but if it's a gathering of unfamiliar people it isn't done.
The rule is, no religion or politics(this includes gun laws) in polite conversation. Generally, unless your friends or family, you're supposed to avoid any conversations that could spark an argument. It's never small talk or watercooler conversation. And just because its considered polite... doesn't mean everyone does it.
Also nicotine in cigarettes is also a drug. The difference is that cigarettes are made with lots of toxic chemicals. Weed has dangers too but it isn’t treated with extra toxic chemicals
Americans do love to talk about politics but also hate it. Family dinners like Thanksgiving and Christmas are a no-no for politics. It turns what should have been a happy occasion into miserable one.
Even among friends, politics can turn a night out on the town into a bad experience if you disagree with each other. If you do agree though, then it can be actually enjoyable and a bonding moment.
Anyways, that is what he was referring to here. It's usually better to not talk about it if you want to have a good time.
Route 66 was our first interstate highway from when the automobile took over as our primary mode of transportation. You could get on Route 66 in Chicago and follow that same highway and you would end up in Los Angeles.
I think it's funny how, as warm and friendly as we mostly are, we like our personal space. Some of us are huggers (we generally only kiss close family members). Shaking hands is perfectly fine, and proper especially in a business setting. You WILL find some people who aren't comfortable shaking hands because they're germophobes, LOL. I like his suggestion about eating the local fare... to me that's half the fun of traveling. I can go to a chain restaurant like Chilis at home.
I found it interesting that you 2 had the conversation about which is worse for your health, cigarettes or marijuana; I still remember hearing something in high school between 2 complete strangers: I was next door at the gas station, waiting for my mom to pick me up (I went there every other day after school to get a fountain drink, a pack of gum, & sometimes a couple of granola bars); one day I heard these women talking about the dangers of smoking & 1 of them said that she knew someone who had died of lung cancer - AND SHE NEVER SMOKED! It was caused by all of the second-hand smoke she'd been exposed to for years! Also, my dad & aunt were both smokers; my dad had a heart attack when I was 15-going-on-16 (lived; never touched another cigarette) & my aunt had 2 different strokes late in life, the 2nd of which left her homebound. Now, I'm 420 friendly, but I'm also on some prescriptions that don't mix well with pot, so I do have to agree with the brother in white: if you insist on smoking any, please do it away from me.
I am American i prefer the sales tax the way it is because if they raise the praise of the tax you will know it keeps the government more honest and keeps the tax down for example in the state of Kentucky where I live sales tax is 06% in UK the vat is 20%
In person theres less political or gun discussions than you would think. But in general his advice which I recommend as well is don't bring them up and you'll be ok

No sales Tax in Alaska or Montana 😜👍
No sales Tax in New Hampshire...
Some folks make the mistake in thinking there are 52 U.S. states, 50 continental, & then Alaska, and Hawaii.
But there are 48 Continental, and then Alaska and Hawaii.
However some also make the mistake by including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, which are among 5 protectant territories.
But why wouldn't folks assume that a location called "U.S. Virgin Islands" wouldn't be considered as a state?
What happens is the folks of the 5 territories voted to be under the U.S. protection, but pretty much have voted to keep their independence.
I have no beef with either choice made, so as long as the choice is made of it's peoples.
The other three protected territories are Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands in the North Pacific Ocean, and American Samoa in the South Pacific Ocean.
vat-value added tax and included in the listed price. Sales tax in the US added on at the point of sale. Sales tax is better because you see how much the government is screwing you,
Vat is a much higher tax than regular sales tax.
Cigarette tobacco has a lot of additives that make it addictive. Very bad for lungs and heart, and people around you can also be adversely affected.
Every town in the US has its own tax rates.
Manufacturers often print the price of their products right on the package.
Printing the full price, including local sales tax for all the different tax jurisdictions would be very expensive as each manufacturer would need to design and print thousands of different packages for each product.
By printing only one package, companies like Walmart can buy huge quantities cheaper, and distribute them based on expected sales per store without worrying about mispriced items causing confusion.
The USA has 50 states, but we also have U.S Territories such as Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S Virgin Islands, Republic of Palau, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Republic of the Marshall Islands, and American Samoa per U.S Department of Interior website
Palau and the Marshall Islands (and the federated states of Micronesia as well) are not U.S. Territories. They are sovereign countries which have signed “Compact(s) of Free Association” with the U.S. The current agreements expire in 2043, typically being renegotiated every 20 years.

Fun fact: The United States of America isn't just comprised of states, it also has territories.
Wikipedia - The United States has control over fourteen territories. Five of them (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) have a permanent, nonmilitary population, while nine of them (the United States Minor Outlying Islands) do not. With the exception of Navassa Island, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, which are located in the Caribbean, all territories are located in the Pacific Ocean. One territory, Palmyra Atoll, is considered to be incorporated, meaning the full body of the Constitution has been applied to it; the other territories are unincorporated, meaning the Constitution does not fully apply to them. Ten territories (the Minor Outlying Islands and American Samoa) are considered to be unorganized, meaning they have not had an organic act enacted by Congress; the four other territories are organized, meaning an organic act has been enacted by Congress. The five inhabited territories each have limited autonomy in addition to having territorial legislatures and governors, but residents cannot vote in federal elections, although all are represented by non-voting delegates in the House.
but even a fuck ton of Americans citizens themselves don't even know this information because they think Puerto Rico is a completely different country and always gives them a lot shit around election time when Puerto Rico asks for stuff because they think Puerto Rico isn't a part of the United States. That's how shitty the American educational system is.

The nicotine in tobacco is very addictive. That’s why it’s worse. People don’t smoke 20 marijuana cigarettes daily (usually).

Hey guys, I was very impressed with all the extra knowledge you guys have about certain stuff. You're two pretty smart and intelligent dudes. Props to you both. But yeah, about the 50 stares thing, a lot of foreigners get confused, because they assume that the Lower continuous states, or as we call them, the Lower 48, are actually 50 in count, right? No, there's just 48 in the mainland, with Hawaii and Alaska being the last 2 for a total of 50. The US flag prior to those two being added had a square field of 6 rows of 8 stars each. Then when Hawaii and Alaska were added in 1949 and 1950, they changed the field to alternating rows of 6 stars and 5 stars each. 5 rows of 6 stars (30 total) plus 4 rows of 5 stars (20 total) = 50 stars all together.
The US has 50 states one federal district Washington DC and five habitable territories American Samoa the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico
You good lord guys…you NEVER talk politics as a visitor here! Even as an American, you NEVER want to engage a stranger in a political discussion!! If I were to travel to The South, I would keep my political opinions to myself. Sure politics is spoken ABOUT all the time here on the media and in social media, but out in public, you better not, because it might get REAL ugly REAL quick.
Yes, talking politics these days seems to always lead to arguments and high blood pressure. But talking politics with a fellow American is one thing...talking politics with a visitor is quite another. And when I say "talking politics" with a visitor, that means the visitor telling us how dumb the US is. As far as I am concerned, if you are not from here, stfu about US politics. Discuss US politics among your foreigner friends, if you want, otherwise just keep it to yourself.
Why some other countries think theres 52 or more states is because we also have sovereign states and dependent territories such as Bermuda, bermuda islands, falkland islands,Puerto Rico. so only 50 states in U.S.A. and the rest are sovereign. FYI...
Yes we do talk about politics . Towards the end of this video i think y'all were talking about the us territories like Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, i think there is 14 now , don't quote me on that .

Many of the mid level hotels include a free breakfast with their price for the room.
The tobacco companies lied to Congress and the people for years about the dangers of second-hand smoke. We now have anti-smoking ads in the US. The age for buying cigarettes is 21 in the USA. It was raised since this video was made.
Marijuana is still against federal law in the US, but some states have laws allowing it. Polling seems to indicate that the majority of people favor making marijuana legal. There are stores in some states that openly sell marijuana.

Tobacco that has been processed into cigarettes, or cigars, are loaded with heavy metals, very addictive nicotine that has been increased, and other poisonous chemicals. Look it up to get the chemical breakdowns, and compare the two plants. It was an eye opener for me. And I watched my mom die from Tobacco addiction with multiple cancers, emphysema, etc. Oh well.

Puerto Rico and Washington DC. A lot of people try to add these as a state. Puerto Rico is a US territory and Washington. DC is the district of Columbia and the capital of the United States but the small Area does not reside in any state. Hawaii and Alaska are states
Cannabis is a mild euphoriant but smoking it isn't good for your lungs, better to use edible forms. It doesn't destroy your mental faculties like alcohol does.

I agree with when you said marijuana removes the mind, but I definitely agree that cigarettes are worse. I've been around both weed and cigarettes, my conclusion is that cigarette smell worse lol
Oh by the way, the two that Europeans probably think are states are Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, they are called territories. I believe they can vote and have the protection of the US military but they don't have some things that mainland states have
Marijuana smoke is actually more injurious to the lungs.
The US has territories. It has more than two though, so I wouldn't think that would be the cause of the 52 states confusion. Maybe some people think of the US has having 50 states, then are adding Alaska and Hawaii even though those are already counted as part of the 50?
You can smoke cigarettes it’s just certain buildings you can’t do that at and a lot of people don’t want someone smoking around their child.
Tobacco smoking has been a dying fad for the last 25 years or so. Ever since they outlawed smoking in public buildings (which was a good thing, imo) more and more people just quit smoking. The way I look at it, it was a popular fad among older Gen X and Boomers. I'm mid-Gen X and I couldn't tell you if any in my Class smoked regular tobacco. But older kids and adults did at the time. Unfortunately, Marijuana (Pot) has replaced tobacco cigarettes. But like others said, Pot does have some medicinal properties so it's not all bad, I guess. I made the mistake recently of consuming some 25mg Pot candy and they fucked me up. Got my head spinning so bad, I couldn't stand up.
Some people think Washington DC and Puerto Rico are states in the US which they are not.
Cigarettes are way worse!
8:32 I don't think you'll typically get high from somebody smoking marijuana near you. I say this because I've had people smoke it near me, and that's never happened.
Cigarettes are definitely worse than marijuana. Marijuana has positive medical applications, cigarettes just slowly kill you with no other benefit.
Also, nicotine is highly addictive, they say almost or maybe more than cocaine. Aspirin is very bad for your kidneys. It's not always agree or disagree, there's a lot of grey area, and different people have different situations. Marijuana too can help a headache or backache. And your first cigarettes definitely affects your mind, you will be dizzy and might get sick.
VAT stands for value added tax.

A lot of places pay $20 an hour no experience fast food you will start off at $20-$22 an hour. And I do hate being around people that smoke marijuana.
