When I was in South Africa, it seems it's a popular pastime for the young men in the hometowns (Ghettos) to run back and forth across the equivalent of the interstate down there to prove their bravery and manhood...
But that's not enough... They stop in the middle of the road and try to stand there with a car coming right at 'em until the very last second then jump out of the way. The longer they can stand there, the more manly they are.
I wasn't warned about this activity. I'm driving a TINY little Hyundai, get it up to speed, and suddenly see about 30-40 young men run across the freeway, thinking they're trying to get to the other side. Nope, they stop right in the middle of the road, several right in front of me, staring me right in the eyes...
I hit the brakes on instinct and didn't hit any of 'em, but... Dang... I'd initially wanted to rent a bike there. Was kinda glad I didn't when I saw this!
On our way home from the day's adventure we went by the same section where they'd been doing this earlier, and the other side of the road was closed with multiple ambulances and fire engine's and such. Seems at least one of the participants won the award for most manly of manly men on that day...
That is EXACTLY why our government should seize theirs and teach it how Democracy works! then they can pass laws forbidding such dangerous acts so that EVERYONE lives long enough to reproduce and pass on that kind of intelligence to the next generation.And if they live longer they can pay more taxes and vote in more election cycles! They just dont get it...SO WE MUST SHOW THEM !
