Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Go watch the pre-race and opening ceremonies to Formula 1 races and compare the spectacle of USA to any other nation. You'll find that "here" is basically "not USA". Celebrities do exist, but they aren't granted much status and often move to the USA to try garner that, as this seems to be the only place on the planet where popularity is a career path.
So confident in your position that even after being called out for not offering up where you live, you still very vocally dodge the question.
Also, if you think the us is the worst in the world for celebrity worship, you aren't well versed in the topic at all. Many countries in Asia are far more obsessed with their celebrities than the us.
EatATaco, you have not asked a question.
No one has stated the US is the worst in the world, so I don't know why you typed what you did.
"Here" is "not the US"; and that is the point. To state where I am would make no sense but it also wouldn't be respective of where I have been.
I did not think such a point would be a challenge to grasp, let alone be upsetting. I'll encourage you to stop making assumptions that upset you. That's a you problem and it's not nice to point fingers at others to spite the follies you're "willing to bet on."
Holy shit I can't believe you are still dodging it. Hilarious.
You're clearly not blessed with basic literacy. Perhaps start with placing a question mark somewhere so I have something to dodge.
The things that happen in your head, you need to externalise them so people don't think you're mad. Finding hilarity doesn't help, it's just weird now.
You've even addressed what you dodged. We both know it, why are you pretending otherwise?
You are loony.
I can only assume, you are wanting to know where I'm from? Even though it's already been explained and you think you've asked but haven't.
South Korea, New Zealand, England, Australia, and Canada. But, again, has nothing to do with anything as these are just places I have lived while there are many more I have been and I won't bother listing them all. That's been explained quite clearly for to correct your erroneous assumptions and get you back on topic. Seems to be pointless, though.
And of course, if that's not it, then I have no idea. At this point, it seems you're either simple or a troll.
You made it obvious before that you understood my implicit question...and you're trying to play it off as if you have to "assume." Lol
Still avoiding where to currently live. Lol hilarious. And to live in South Korea and think America is bad when it comes to celebrity worship exposes a special type of ignorance about the us.
Definitely not a troll. Maybe simple. But at least I'm not dishonest, like some people still posting here.
Who said I lived in SK? Oh, that's right, I did. I meant Belgium.
But again, now you see why it never mattered to the point I was making which you seem to have literally never understood since you became obsessed with "here" for some reason.
Admitting to arguing in bad faith while calling me a troll. Should have known it was a projection.
I didn't call you a troll. I'm not arguing. So, what admission?
You keep making up these things in your head based on stuff that's been said and going off to some other field to build a bunch of strawmen. It's clearly not working. Subsequently, the original comment remains entirely unrelated to anything you are rambling about. It's delusion at this point.
