    Key west has been a tourist area for a good hundred years. Are you really excusing her that she had no time to move out, nor did the last three generations of her ancestors?

      Doesn’t matter if it has been a tourist area for 10,000 years. Whether or not she should live there has absolutely no relevance whatsoever to whether or not she is allowed to be a psycho. The answer will always be no

      I think the subtext here is that you are typically the annoying tourist (and thus defensive of something irrelevant to anything) and I’m typically annoyed by the tourists where I live. I’m not moving and I’m not hurting anyone either. I’m allowed to be annoyed. People are stupid and even more so on vacation.

        No, people take things slowly when they’re on vacation, which doesn’t harmonize with the day to day life of someone who loves there. Doesn’t mean they’re stupid. Stupid would be, when they would adapt the hectic lives of the locals because what a shit vacation would that be?

        Look, I’ve lived in Amsterdam for 11 years. Yes, it’s annoying that tourists block the bicycle lanes, but there’s a lot to take in when you’ve never been there before and it’s just something you have to deal with when you’re living in a tourist area. There’s a lot of psychos that would simply ride their bikes into those people. Fuck them, they need to learn to relax.

          People in general are fucking stupid. If you’ve not noticed that, I wonder how you’ve been functioning with your eyes closed.

        No, I think the subtext is that it’s asinine to be annoyed* by tourists, especially when you live in a place who’s economy depends on them

          Yeah I’m aware that annoying tourists cry in this very manner. Oh God guys my common understandable opinion is ASININE. The humanity!

          I don’t live in some place that would be a shithole if not for tourists. But even if I did, people who have zero spatial awareness would still be annoying.

            So, you understand how all this comes off as you running defense for someone that purposely rammed a person on a bicycle? Because it seems like you don’t understand that. I want to know if this is a bit, or if you’re really just this dense
