Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Dude. It's called the train. Learn about it before you go there. Plus buses. Public transport rules in London.


Dude, it's called being American. We didn't have the confidence in our ability to navigate the train system necessary to do so, also we would have had to walk from the train station, at night, in the rain, carrying luggage, in a city of 2 million (I think) people, after 48 hours of sleep deprivation, to the hotel that we didn't know where it was located exactly.
So we took a cab.
If you weren't so fatigued I'd say you could've just asked one of the gold ol' tube folk for directions :P

20 million, isn't it? If it were 2 million, it'd be smaller than the city I live in (Melbourne), which has just on 3.5 million. It's a really nice place. You should visit.
London's population is roughly 8 million.

The city where I currently live is around 200.000. I usually dislike larger cities as urban hells (London possibly excluded by virtue of having some huge parks which ease things down. Then again, London has a big case of urban sprawl, and is large in no small measure due to huge neighbourhoods of suburban homes. The interesting bits of the city are concentrated in a reasonably sized area).

I live in a city of roughly 50k. There are no interesting bits.

City? Of 50K? That seems. Small. I live in a town of 40k.

I alternate between a city of 1.3 million and a town of 17,800.

Lakeville's a city Criptfiend.  Or whether it's Apple Valley or Farmington, either way they're all suburbs.

Living in two cities that basically function as one with a population of 50,000, from a city of 6,000.

Suicide is now the leading cause of injury mortality amongst Americans.
This. Can't say I'm entirely surprised. Though it does look as if part of it is that automobile-related deaths have fallen.

Unintentional poisoning over doubled? Eep.

Anyway it looks to me like that's more caused by traffic accidents falling, rather than suicide rates going up (though it IS a little of both). That 15% boost in the suicide rate is definitely Sad Thread worthy, but the 25% fall in traffic accident deaths is probably Happy Thread worthy.
