The statue, outside the Brussels stock exchange, had just been restored at great cost.

I knew it wasn’t an American, because it didn’t “American” in the title. Plus, I feel like Americans have caught so much shit about being idiots abroad that we’ve learned to chill. That American exceptionalism isn’t so exceptional anymore.
Americans are too fat to climb anything.
Honestly, americans are fine tourists as far as i can tell. I witnessed some very old racist motherfuckers, but like the 20 to 40 year olds were always a delight
Very true. Larger countries just happen to have more idiots. Plenty of Russian and Chinese tourists caught doing dumb stuff too. Not too many from India for some reason, at least not that I can recall.
we've learned to chill
Honestly I think we're just too xenophobic and broke. If we were becoming better people overall I would expect to see a decrease in shitty behavior over here as well, or at least a levelling off.
Isn't this acceptable though due to the subject of both "clauses" being the same ("tourist" both climbs and breaks)?
I'm almost certain this would not be a correct usage of a semicolon, semicolons require both parts of the sentence to be compete.
This shit is even funnier if you take into account the fact that they've been renovating the place for like 5 years or something and only finished a month or two ago
Because Belgium being a modern democracy (despite having a king) it most likely has laws regarding data privacy and law regarding defamation.
I don't care what anyone says, if I see a naked statue I'm getting on top of it! They can't stop me!
The thing about jokes and user interfaces is that if the audience doesn't understand them that's not the audience's problem
