You can't see everything there is to see in America in four trips. Impossible. You also can't see everything there is to see in England and Europe in a couple of vacations. I won't slam your country, because I'd love to get an extended period of time to wander around in it. No lie, it's fantastic and amazing etc.
And in the spirit of international cooperation, I will agree that baseball is a slow and frequently boring game. Made during an era where everything moved more slowly. It is a leisure activity, hence the leisurely pace. The only way to make baseball even lamer and more stupid and pointless would be to pound sticks into the field, remove the bases, strip away any hitting challenge by widening the bats and allowing the pitcher to bounce the fucking ball, and renaming the entire mess after a bug.
Say, a cricket or something.

Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
