Very little U.S. law enforcement is conducted by private vigilantes. Any police officer who behaved like just about any police officer in any TV show or movie would be fired immediately. The TV ones are always either incompetent or lone-wolf heros who conduct high-speed car chases through shopping malls. Neither is encouraged in real life.

Re #17: Sort of like how my friend from Washington gets annoyed when people use 'West Coast' when they mean 'California'. Re #49: I've heard Manhattan mostly smells like urine. True? Re #67: I agree with you for the most part, but on the other hand, hormones change all through life. They peak sometime in your twenties, generally, then decline gradually after that. It's not as if there are only changes in your teens and then things are stable for the rest of your life. Re #72: At the rate things are going now, pretty soon all the movies that are supposed to be set in the U.S. will look like Canada. ;>

resp:76 1) That would get annoying. But we seem to get a lot of Californication up here anyways. You can't escape the influence.
