The question was specifically about my experience, not anyone else's. I'm also not from the US, when you grow up you might realise that the internet is a global system.

I was also lucky enough to not be born in a 3rd world hell hole where terms like "medical debt" exist. I have to pay parking when I go to the hospital.

Or are you thinking all capitalist countries are the same?

You might be able to buy some land, build a playground and maintain it for a few years in a deprived neighbourhood. If you have money left over, do it again somewhere else.

The only sport that is a predominantly physical exercise (so excluding things like snooker, darts, archery etc) where women could compete competitively against men at an equivilent level in their sport (league 1 men vs league 1 women) would be ultra marathons. Most other sports is so mis-matched you'd end up with some random amateur bloke against an elite woman.

Basically if you've gone through male puberty you are vastly different physically from someone who hasn't.

Not only do the band know about this practice they will have absolutely approved its use. So direct some of your scorn to Oasis and not just Ticketmaster.

The fact that American English doesn't have the word 'fortnightly' is incredibly confusing on every level.

You should watch it and find out for yourself.

On a tangentially related note, this documentary series from BBC4 is a fascinating insight into the decision making process the US went through over dealing with foreign mass atrocities over the past 40 years: Iraq, Bosnia, Rwanda, Syria etc.

Warning: they do not hold back with the imagery of these events.
