White college girl about to get raped by niggers?
>>65936Welcome to my world.
Bump for HISTORIC ROXBURY, MA.
Historic Roxbury lmao. Try visiting historic Bronx and Historic Compton while you're at it. Boston really doesn't have to many crummy suburbs, but Roxbury is def one of them.
Don't forget about the historic Dorchester and Mattapan! Those are some great places to visit!
>>66263The Bronx is rather historic. Check out Grand Concourse.
>>66265Randolph's headed down the shitter too.
>>66263Lynn Lyn the city of sin you never come out the way you went in.
Fall River, Lawrence, Lowell, New Bedford, Springfield, Worcester, East Boston/Revere/Chelsea/Lynn, Roxbury, Dorchester, Jamaica Plains (not so much anymore). I think that sums it up for shitty towns that I can think of.
>>66332Brockton?
>>66332Holyoke, you forgot Holyoke.
Tour Europe. Best history generally.Greece and Italy are good for obvious reasons. Russia has a great, complicated history too. China is good but difficult to get around. Japan has a good history but is a little too linear for my liking (like UK). US has a crappy history, why would you go there? Everybody knows it pretty well and it simply isn't interesting.
>>66675Your governments ideologies and functions were first established in the US, why wouldn't you want to see where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were signed.Plus our civil war was the best war, it was right before bombs and artillery made wars all quick and gay, but late enough so that there was massive destruction.

Did you learn about how Boston BACKSTABBED US BY TRADING WITH THE BRITS DURING THE WAR OF 1812?TO THEM ITS ALL RAH RAH BUNKER HILL, BUT THEY LOST AT BUNKER HILL, THEY DIDN'T DO SHIT BECAUSE THEY ARE A BUNCH OF SHITTY PURITANS.BUT THEY TAKE ALL THE CREDIT WHILE US NEW YORKERS WERE BEHIND ENEMY LINES FIGHTING THE BRITISH WHERE THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE SAFE, BUT DOES ANYONE REMEMBER USNO
>>66332Bah, Worcester's not so bad, there's really only a couple rough neighborhoods... and then a bunch of poor ones. There's good music and food places though, gotta dig to find em.Now Fitchburg, there's a pit in the woods. and Hartford ain't pretty neither. I wouldn't live either place, and I'm in Slummerville now.
>>66679Russian and Chinese civil wars were cooler. Russian civil war in particular, it was genuine madness and far from 'quick and gay'.Your constitution has decayed and is crumbling. I would much rather visit France for revolutionary events, especially since they've had 2 (1789 and 1848, both important). Constitutions are just ways to codify laws, little more. They is quite abusable. For instance Hitler never actually tore up the constitution and used it to reinforce his power, same with Stalin and Soviet leaders, the constitution for which actually increased their power over the Soviet bloc as well.I actually take the position that the Brits were not that unfair, in fact there was a significant proportion of British MPs that sympathised with the colonists and attempted (sadly unsuccessfully) to put an end to excessive taxation and wanted to try to make local rule an option because ruling from London was too fucking hard.>>66681Yes I do know. Quite lulzy. Also the Brits backed the South somewhat in the Civil War. The Northeast is the only part of the US that is not completely full of shit.
>>66681That's because by 1812 us New Englanders realized you were a bunch of stupid fucks. Also, enjoy the Red Sox making the playoffs and the Yankees not.
>>66681They didn't lose at Bunker Hill because they never fought on Bunker Hill. They fucked up and defended Breed's Hill. But hey, they did that successfully, and the term Battle of Bunker Hill stuck. Also, we have the goddamn USS Constitution, which is still a commissioned Navy ship, in the harbor. Owned.
>>66787but the northeast IS still full of shit. the only worthwhile part of the US is the West. except kommiefornia. they suck.
>>66813Northeast and Northwest. Pretty well everyone else is the cancer killing America
>>66800That ship was pretty fucking good. Took on at least 4-5 British ships in duels and won every time
>>66681"Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nationsentangling alliances with none" Thomas JeffersonFeels good man.
>>66681The War of 1812 was the most useless, pointless war of all wars America has fought in and was ultimately one giant draw with nothing gained or lost on either side (except lives). New England was right for convening in Hartford to talk terms of secession in that one. And probably should have gone ahead with it.
>>66989Providing the timber to build the Constitution's hull was the last time South Carolina did anything useful.
>>66989Not to mention it helped save a shitload of admirals from getting Nazipwned - it was recommissioned in WWII so the fleet commander could transfer his "flag" to it, meaning he could stay out of the battle.
>>66332Quincy is starting to become pretty bad. =|Shit loads of druggies around here. And Asians. A fucking lot of Asian people nowadays.
