    If we had a public education system that produced people capable of posting grammatically flawed and kinda weird posts like this... I’d say, “Not a chance.”
    so you're the best. 
    I’m not sure how one could ever establish such a thing, but if you say so... then thanks I guess!
    Your weather sucks. No way you can be number one. 


    We have areas of really really bad weather (gawddam cold). But I can honestly tell you that in my neck of the woods, we have ideal weather for my lifestyle. We have four full seasons with ample snow in the winter and ample heat in the summer. To boot, our local geography is awesome: tons of wilderness, mountains, lakes and rivers.

    Are your summers hot enough to open a pool without a heater?

    It seems to me that some of the US has bad weather, too, at least from what I've seen.

    They can’t. They are incapable and only wish to spout hate.

    Weather commentary = hate speech. That's a new one.

    yes, way too radical and hateful around here. people actually angry that the President didn't collude.  they hoped their President was actually colluding with Russia, now they're angry to find he didn't.

    Personally, I like radical weather.  The bigger storm the better.  Extreme hot and extreme cold?  Awesome!  Keeps me in check as to who's in charge on this planet!

    because i have never seen often spout hate, which is why i asked. i don't think sc spouts hate either. i think he just spouts concern for his fellow humans, as many of us non-americans do here.

    Well, there are really strange how some show concern :) and do only non-Americans show concern? I don’t think so.
