This American is ashamed of much of our infrastructure. Meanwhile the politicians find every excuse possible not to fix it. When they want to go to war it's another story.

Train station in Guangzhou, China versus train station in New York City, USA.

How are your train stations in OK?

Don't be mean, Oklahoma only has two in the whole state. One looks like 1926 but well maintained while the one in Oklahoma City has a very empty lobby that looks like it belongs in a prison.

@Lorajay Didn't mean anything mean by that. I'm not a meany.

@ChurchLess Oklahoma's lack of trains and train stations are one of my pet peeves. I would love to be able to ride the train to Kansas City and I can if I go to fort Worth and then Little Rock and then Kansas City. We still have freight trains and very very few underpasses are overpasses for auto traffic.

Many NY Stations are nicer but I'd bet no Chinese station looks much different than another. Iraq was the shining example for how the populace will support war no matter the shoddy reasons or cost (which can never really be measured) but it's the seemingly important tinkering, and greedy stealing, which creates war.

Those politicians are assholes we need this desperately

I take option B if I can express myself there and question things, and everyone else can too. And then eventually start questioning why noone had fixed the station up in quite a while, but that's not the most important thing.

4 trillion for Iraq, 2.5 trillion for Afghanistan.. but, roads and bridges in America ? NO WAY

True and sad

I think G. B. Shaw said. That a bullet takes more than one life, one the person it kills, and a little bit of all the lives wasted making it and paying for it.

It really is horrifying. In 1960 America's infrastructure was the envy of the world. Now it's a decaying underfunded mess. But boy, look at all the shiny bombers, tanks, and warships we have!

Not to mention all the billionaires!

@Barnie2years Exactly. Profiting from war
