I like Bjorn Hanson.
Me too. He is such a calm person. And the areas he goes to to film his vids are just awesome. I could see myself becoming fast friends with him.

I was laughing and dancing about this video...!
I posted the other video of the footage on another thread.
NO!!!! It usually send me a notification. I’ve been waiting. I’ll have to look.Did you see the video where James O'Keeffe confronts this asshat on the street?!

The jerk tried to excuse the Molotov cocktail comment by saying it was a DRINK!
There are no words. Thank you for posting that. Wow. How stupid do they think people are!?
Stupid enough to vote for them.
If you have Amazon Prime, it's there too. And you don't have any commercials like on Hulu.I found something new to watch ( well old, but we haven't had tv in 20 or so years so a lot of stuff we haven't seen) The Amazing Race on Hulu ( son logged me into his account)
My movie came in! I keep a list of 25 or so classic movies I want on dvd or bluray. I check sales or the discount bin at wally's from time to time.
"My Darling Clementine" came up in another thread the other day, one of the greatest westerns ever made. I had been compiling a list of goodies to order from the net so I checked that night. $9 was the price, at the top end of what I usually pay but what the heck! Next time the power is off I know what I'm watching.

That is so true. And it just amazes me. I can't remember a time when I couldn't read a map. Geez, you can get lost when you don't have a map. A map is what keeps you from getting lost. Or gets you un-lost if given to you after you got lost. Yet here these people are, with maps, and no clue how to get from point A to point B. I just don't understand that level of incompetence. I don't remember being trained on how to read a map. It was just obvious. Sure, you'll need to learn some symbols and conventions if reading a topo map or a nautical chart, but a road map? Easy Peasy.My impression, no one could use a map

[edit] p.s. - There have been two trips to India in these first four seasons (maybe even another trip in season 4 - we haven't finished that one yet). I'll bet The Amazing Race has done more to nuke tourism in India than any other show. Wow, what a wretched place the way they show it. [edit]
Maybe the show got better… I saw a few episodes during the first couple of seasons. My impression, no one could use a map, look at the sky and tell time or direction. I remember thinking these folks would get lost trying to find the can in Grand Central Station.
If I see a re-run in my channel guide I’ll check it out…
What they showed about India, were super packed trains where the females were getting groped. Police in the train stations randomly hitting people with sticks as they walked by, apparently for no reason. That's what turned me off. There was massive poverty and squalor in the streets - that makes you want to help more than turn you off, but still, it is not fun to watch. I remember one of the contestants saying, "I wonder what happened here to cause it to get so bad?" I agree, based on the scenes they were showing. Every place looked to be crammed with people. No place for you to go that wasn't already occupied by a mass of others. Different parts of India looked like royalty walked there. But that division of the haves and the have nots is true in all countries.India : I LOVE India lol!

The wife and I are watching this series now too. We started into it years ago, somewhere around season 15. They just finished broadcasting season 32. So we went back to the beginning and started with season 1. We are now in season 4. The newer seasons got better than the earlier ones. The early ones are still good, but they mostly focused on making successful travel arrangements. The tasks the teams had to do were not difficult enough to differentiate them much. But the airports and arrangements made there are what separate the teams in the early shows. That's not quite as interesting as the later shows, but it's still fun.

It's possible that the camera operators were focusing on the worst scenes for shock value. But both the wife and I said, after watching those episodes, is that we would never want to go there.
