I’m in Texas and have only encountered one incident, when I was visiting a friend. I heard the shot from inside their house, went outside and saw a man lying in the street. Other neighbors came out and I asked my friend to call 9-1-1 and to grab a towel from the house to put under the victim’s head. It turned out that the shooter was the wife of the man, having marital issues, and she had fled the scene. She was caught within the hour. I’m not certain but I don’t think the man survived. Very labored breathing and unresponsive. It happened so many years ago but I’ll never forget.

I'm going to be fifty next month, and I've lived in the Midwest my entire life, and apart from a couple of history-museum displays, I've only seen a firearm IRL one time. It was a WWI-era rifle that an old man found in an attic, and he brought it to the public library in hopes of looking it up in an antiques book to see if it had any particular value. I have personally known dozens of people who *own* firearms, been over to their houses to visit, etc., but I've never gone hunting or shooting with them, so I've never seen the guns, presumably because the people I choose to associate with are smart enough to keep them put away in a gun safe when not in use. If I *wanted* to see the guns, and I asked, I'm sure they'd be happy to show them to me, but I was never really interested, so I haven't asked. This may be partly because I've always lived in small towns, where there are no career criminals (because someone would recognize them and they'd be caught, more or less immediately) and so the police don't feel the need to carry guns routinely (though of course they have access to them if needed). When I was in college, we used to joke that campus security was more scary than the local PD, because campus security always carried big flashlights. Statistically, you're not going to die of gun violence. You're going to die of a cardiovascular condition (heart attack, stroke, CHF, etc.), or a motor vehicle accident, or cancer. All the excess salt in your food, is more dangerous than guns.

[@kenbrown2808]

probably the biggest reason we say state then country when abroad is because we are used to identifying ourselves by state when traveling in the country. if we are close to home, we would also identify ourselves by city or town.

Oftentimes served just with maple syrup, but it isnt unheard of to sprinkle powdered sugar on it.

A citizen of the United States can travel anywhere in the country and its possessions without any paperwork. It's all open. It's all free to travel to. The government has no authority to tell any American citizen where they can and cannot travel, even internationally. The federal government does however publish travel advisories from time to time to hot spots where there may be war or political unrest. That's a service provided by the government. Before 9/11, the Canadian and Mexican borders were open to Americans requiring no documentation. Today, an American citizen has to show a passport to travel into and out of both countries. For those Americans that have summer homes in Canada like my family did, it has become very problematic.

[@michellegray7892]

On why we say the state before country: Keep in mind we sort of expect most people on hearing us or seeing how we word things that they already have a fairly good idea we are either from the US or possibly Canada, but almost all assume USA as is. Second, there is a ton of diversity from environment to culture to music to laws between states that it really is the only way to give an you a somewhat accurate idea of where we are and why we may hold one view over another. for example I am from Utah- but Utah is a fairly strange state for a number of reasons, but especially just for weather/landscape diversity. Southern Utah you have Zion national park and red rock desert landscapes. I however live in northern Utah, which is high mountains with boreal pine forests. So I always say northern Utah because otherwise, people tend to picture Zion national park which is almost the polar opposite to my areas actual environment.

The World Series was already pretty well established by then, and it never got renamed. Prior to the 1930s, there were only two professional baseball leagues in the world, and they were both in North America.

SUGAR and cinnamon ON buttered TOAST, while it's still fairly HOT from the toaster. Bread here stays soft for 4-11 days out of the store (depends on brand/recipe), starts molding around 2 weeks. Unless it's a GOOD bread that's mostly wheat or other grain of some type, water, maybe yeast or other leavening, and that's about it... Sourdough is max 3-4 days out of the store, so I generally freeze the loaf (I generally toast it anyway so not too much of an issue). Because we are competitive amongst ourselves. Kim - from Central Ohio. (the heart of the heart of it all ;) ) USA. In the USA, any state to any other US state, as long as it (flight/cruise - w/e) doesn't stop in another country (mostly Alaska, in Canada) you don't need a passport.

When Americans declared our independence from Great Britain in 1776, we began "The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America " (note the declaration was not "The Declaration" but "The UNANIMOUS declaration" indicating it was a group acting collectively, not as a single political entity. We then stated "That these United Colonies are (plural), and of Right ought to be FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES (again plural);". In the Treaty of Paris of 1783 when King George, III acknowledged our independence he declared "His Brittanic Majesty acknowledges the said United States, viz., New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, to be free sovereign and independent states, that he treats with them as such, and for himself, his heirs, and successors, relinquishes all claims to the government, propriety, and territorial rights of the same and every part thereof." Note that he specified each State by name and then declared them to be "free sovereign and independent states" (not that the United States was "a state", but were "states" plural. Thus, each State IS a separate and equal SOVERIEGN nation-state, just like Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal, Austria, etc. These Sovereign, free, and independent States formed together in a confederacy called "The United States of America" and then later disbanded that confederacy and independently joined a new one of the same name under the Constitution, which the Framers writing in the Federalist Papers called the union under the proposed Constitution (it had not been ratified at the time of their writing) a "CONFEDERACY". Later in the 1860s, 11 southern States seceded and formed a new confederacy among themselves called the Confederate States of America and under a new constitution that they had drawn up and ratified. That union was defeated by the old northern union and those states re-ratified the constitution they had withdrawn from a few years earlier. Thus the United States is essentially no different than the European Union as far as it being a confederacy comprised of separate, free, and independent nation-states. If you look at the US Constitution, the federal government is ONLY given powers that are FOREIGN powers from the member State's perspective. The federal government has jurisdiction exercising the member States foreign powers collectively and in unison by acting as an arbitrator between the member States of the union and representing all of the member states as a collective whole when dealing with non-member nation-states on the world stage. All internal matters that are purely the internal jurisdiction of a State are handled solely by the State government. Each State has its own chief executive, legislature and supreme court, its own seal, its own flag, its own State anthem, its own bird, its own flower, its own motto, its own culture, etc. Some of the States used to be their own countries outside and along side the United States such as Vermont, Hawaii, Texas to name a few. This is the reason we refer to our State first before saying we are from the United States. As for your question as to if we need a passport to go from one State to another, the answer is no. This is because of the agreement the States consented to when they ratified the Constitution. Article 4, Section 2, Clause 1 reads: "The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States." Thus if you are a citizen of any member State of the union, then the States by ratifying the Constitution have agreed to treat the citizens of any member State as if they were citizens of their own State rendering a passport to travel between States unconstitutional as it violates a citizens right to free travel within the union of the United States. As for your other question, I have traveled to the Bahamas and to Ontario, Canada (as well as to 37 States plus D.C. domestically).

My son used to have to travel for work and has been to a lot more countries all over the world. He hated it. Mainly he doesn't fit into the seats. He's 6'4 and is tall and thin. He has to sit all cramped up. His knees are touching the back of the seat in front of him. His wife has traveled also because of her job. She fits anywhere. Normal sized human woman. Travel is good and i think it should be a requirement in school. You understand people and other cultures better. I've liked all the places I've been. Loved the food. But honestly there is so much to see in the USA you can just travel from coast to coast and see about anything you want to.

I've traveled to Canada, 4 Caribbean Islands, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France, and Italy. Greetings from Pennsylvania, USA.

[@Tamonke]

been outside the us several times, can confirm that although the US is very diverse, other countries tend to have a lot more of a specific culture and are definitely worth visiting.

“Wax things” 😂😂😂

I've been to Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, Edinburgh Scotland, and Birmingham England. I love Edinburgh

I travel approximately 100k miles a year. I can go from mountains, to desert, to swamps, to prairie, and back into completely different mountains, all in the space of a week. I have to pack clothing for all seasons, because I can go from tee shirt and shorts to heavy coat and wool hat, literally overnight. I've encountered six different languages and many more dialects, and experienced a number of different cultures in my travels. And I've never once set foot outside the US. That's why a lot of Americans don't have passports.

Bread lasts at least a week and a half before molding here, sometimes two weeks depending on humidity and heat. Winter longer if you don’t overheat your house. I live on the west coast and very central in my state so we have central heating and cooling. You keep your house cooler bread lasts longer.

[@KenLarson-zg4po]

Have been to the UK many times, Netherlands many times, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Spain, France, and my favorite Greece.

[@Marcus-p5i5s]

I've been all over Europe. Lived in a couple countries there. Canada, Mexico, South Am. Caribbean

[@MLeonard317]

Thanks for sharing this video. I'm from Indiana and I have been outside of America. Been to Canada, Mexico and France. You don't need a passport to travel in the US you do need a ID with a star on it. If not you can't get on a domestic flight.

[@sherryjoiner396]

You only need a state-issued ID to fly to other states. You need a passport to travel to canada or Mexico. That's relatively new. We used to be able to cross the border within a passport. I've been to Mexico, England and Ireland.

[@brettsmith902]

I've been to Canada, Mexico, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemborg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, and the Vatican City.

[@aodhhanswtor7252]

We tell you the state because people either ask, "Where in America do you live?" or if you answer, "America", the next question is, "Oh, which state?". Which almost nobody knows where the state is unless it's the Big 5.

[@kcraviv]

Im 59 and from Kansas. Growing up I was lucky that my dad worked for TWA, so we go to travel alot outside the US. Ive been to London, Cairo, Rome, Paris & Jeddah. We lived in Jeddah for 2 years.

Buttered toast with cinnamon sugar-- yum! It's less toast and more of a sweet breakfast like doughnuts or pastry.

[@ESUSAMEX]

I have lived and worked overseas. Plus I have been traveled to almost every continent.

[@patriciawoitkowski522]

There are so many different climates in the US. You can see so many different things and do so much that many Americans don't feel the need to travel overseas with all of our diverse cultures, food and national parks. It is also very expensive to travel overseas. We are not ignorant of other countries ( we do have internet, etc) and it would be great to go but I think money is the main reason. I personally would love to visit the UK and Europe but for $$.

First time I left the country was with my mom when I was 16. My grandma had saved up a lot of Frequent Flyer Miles and we were on a cruise that went to a few countries. We went to Turkey, Malta, and Rome, Italy. Probably went to a few others but I'm 45 and that vacation was a long time ago in the 90's. We went in the summer so Italy was very hot. A 90 year-old woman died because of the heat while on that trip. My mom got sick early with food poisoning by eating salad so she wasn't able to leave the boat for Malta. I took her camera and took pictures of the places they showed while I was with the boat tour. The finger sandwiches on the cruise were so good. Second time I was out of the country I was in my early 20's while on a tour in San Diego. I briefly went to Tijuana, Mexico. On a vacation to Alaska, I went to a city somewhere in Canada. I don't remember where. It was part of a tour and the hiking trails were wonderful.

I'm sorry to hear about the queen, was she beheaded?

[@Robostate]

It depends on which queen you're asking about. Anne Boleyn? Yes. Catherine Howard? Yes. Any other? No.

[@marvincasteel4876]

As a kid in kindergarten and elementary school, we learn our address by house number and street, then state, and then country! it is also the way we write our addresses, so to me it is just reflex to say state then country when asked "where are you from" ! I've been out of the country once, to Toronto Canada! lol

[@hollyshah6268]

I went to England, France, Amsterdam, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, and Mexico. I am from Oklahoma, US 😁

[@BlandfordFun]

Re: Americans saying their state first. I believe it is similar to Brits. If you ask a Brit that is from anywhere other than England, they mention their country instead. Scottish say Scotland, Welsh say Wales, and Northern Ireland people will say Irish. (yeah - I know N. Ireland is really part of the UK - but no one ever says they are from the UK...) I've known quite a few people from Great Britain and that has always been the case. When traveling to Great Britain, Americans are going to say they are going to England, Scotland, or Wales. It is very, very unusual for someone to say they are going to Britain. So, extrapolate that out to a comparison of number of countries/states and sizes between the two. Also, we DO have our own prejudices regarding people from different states. You do not want to be mistaken for one of "THEM". These are stereo types only - so don't trash me in the comments... New Yorkers are considered rude to states outside of that region. People assume they are from New York city and not the state almost always. People assume that Southerners are lazy and poorly educated. (I live in the South.) We actually have many of USA's premier universities in the South. The "slowness" perceived by others is more due to pre-air conditioning and nearly unbearable heat. Many Southerners also have a slower cadence to their speech which, in actuality, is not an indicator of intelligence. You get the idea. I do not know for certain why. This is just a conjecture. It seems that the English are quite proud (understandably so) of the past world dominance of the British in the old imperial colonialism era. The other Brits are only so-so about it with some wanting to break away.

[@arich9326]

I live in Florida currently (and I have lived in 3 other states previously)...I have been to over 25 countries, some of them multiple times. Hoping to add 2 new ones next year.

I grew up with cinnamon sugar toast. It's lovely 🤩. We had a mixture of this in a little container to sprinkle on our toast. Try it Lewis 😁

[@mdmcpresentz]

When you fly within the US, you can identify yourself with a driver’s license or, if you have one, a passport.

[@bradyb11100]

Yes., American here. Was outside of the US last month. I went to Switzerland and Germany.
