Keeping kids out of bars will not prevent them from alcoholism when they are older. Education prevents them.

I spent a year in a US high school (my senior year). On my first day in US history class I quickly realised I knew more about their own history than any of the students, who were all US citizens. Blew my mind.

It's not just Germany either, I can't think of a single European country that has anything like the restrictions placed on children and young people in the US. In Europe, children, even young children, are trusted and allowed to take risks so that they can develop. Unlike the US where kids are wrapped in cotton wool and then suddenly it is removed and these new young adults have no life experience.

When my son attended primary school in Germany, the school was just some half a mile away. There were no major streets to cross, so of course he walked there alone. By the time he was in fourth grade, our cat was "picking him up" after school, she was just waiting at the gate and walked home with him - every day in every weather.

I was born in 1940 in Brooklyn, New York. The things you see here were very common in the 40's here. I walked to grade school alone in the late 40's. Mothers left their carriages with their babies in them outside the store, while they shopped inside. Not standing or seated by the windows, but shopping. I went to my first movie theater at the age of 8 alone and it was about a five-block walk. I also walked to school, about seven blocks, by myself, as did other kids, probably after the first grade. Today, kids have to be driven to visit a friend two blocks away. It's a shame. Everyone lives in fear. I could be out playing, anywhere, all day as long I was home for meals. It's a shame those days are gone.

I'm Canadian, been in Germany for over 15 years and raised 3 kids here. She's 100% right on everything. Not to mention breastfeedign anywhere in public is perfectly fine, being naked in public is actually pretty much legal, drinking in public is legal, it's a compeltely different world than what I grew up in.

Isn't it sad when you can't walk alone in public?

in Germany around 16000 people under 18 disappear every year. Most of them (~99%) get found on the same day. Most of these kids are over 13. I also have to mention, most kidnappers know the kid. A lot of kidnappings happen, because an ex-partner takes the kid. Kidnapping by a random person is unbelievably rare. Statistics from 2015 say there were about 80 abductions that year, all ages, not just kids. That's one in a million.

German kids get raised to like/love raw veggies in the kindergarten already. It's a part of German culture.

I think this horror of walking from A to B says a lot about how fearful Americans are. When my (adult) daughter visited NY city she walked everywhere, just like she does in London and people were horrified and said she should take cabs, even for journeys as short as two blocks. She ignored them. She had no problems. When my children were little their primary school was close and as soon as they were ready, they walked to school on their own. Initially I followed discreetly to check they were crossing the road properly and safely and as soon as I was satisfied they gained that bit of independence.

It kinda underlines just how much America is not really the land of the free. They’re imprisoned by so much fear. 😢

I have so much respect for you, Joel. I mean, you are 20 years old, almost a kid in my eyes, but you are so interested, so well-spoken, so open-minded, I am totally in awe. You are like a sponge that absorbs knowlege. It's so refreshing and heartwarming, unbelievable. May your trip to Germany be as exciting as you hope for 🤗

As it seems to me, that Haley and you emphasize on your (reaction-)video layd on "the racial questions". So here comes my first culture shock as guest to the US: First time when I've been to the US back in the days during a studentsexchange to NM in 1998, I as a German was confronted with this topic for the first time in my life. During the flight, we were advised to fill in the immigration forms before landing in the US. Never before I had to mark a square, while beiing asked if I'm "caucasian", "black", "hispanic" or "asian". Me and other students had to ask our teacher, where to mark our cross. It puzzled me, that I should identify myself with a region vaguely known to me from geography classes to be somewhere in the far east of Europe (what to me was just recently hidden behind "The Iron Curtain") rather than with anything nearby my origin in "the Western World" to visit our dear friends just across the "small pond". Also I wondered about the term "Hispanic", because Spain (or latin: Hispania) was for some of us a nearby and wellknown tourist destination. Later on I learned, you got this question in almost every offical document - registrations, applications, having your drivers license, renting an appartement, taking part in a competition, maybe joining a book club, etc. In Germany it had never came to my mind, that we'd distinguish any "race" in any official form. There are in fact, several govermental forms in which is asked for the origin of birth or the state of immigration, but in to this matter specific questions only. If you are a German citizen, you won't officially be separated into any race ever. So, as a kid and teenager, I never learned to segregate by this and to divide human race. By this, I think, one of the foremost thing to do for the US could be, to stop asking this question in any official forms. For which governmental purpose does it matter anyhow? Maybe this way, in a generation or two, this what seems a problem today could just disappear and people could focus on more important problems every society has as well to solve: equality in chances for everyone, education, fair laws and taxes, wellbeing of your citizens - in short: The American dream. Thanks for your videos I've seen so far and your general interest in cultural exchange. I'd love to welcome you here in Germany one day! Keep it up!

Drinking age in public is 14 if they are accompanied by their parents and they allow it. Should your kids drink at that age? No, but if done responsibly, these kids will be educated to drink responsibly. And you should also be drinking responsibly = don't get drunk in front of your kids.

It’s nice to know Joel won’t have culture shock when he sees a baby who’s unattended.

Here in Germany, often in rural areas, it is perfectly normal for children to travel to school by bus or even bicycle. It depends on how the parents have brought up the children and whether the parents trust their children to be independent. The children of my neighbours all go to school in the city by bus.

People who don't learn from the mistakes of the past are condemned to repeat them!

Radishes on buttered bread sounds weird to Americans only. But you forgot how different our bread tastes. I get freshly baked bread from a farm every week, it's still really warm when I get it. There is little that is tastier than cutting it straight away at home, salted butter on top and some fresh chives sprinkled over it, or radishes sliced ​​paper-thin. Try it out when you visit Germany and you'll understand.

Isn't it weird that the country that is considered by it's citizens the best (the freest, richest etc) in the world, is a country in which people are afraid to walk outside, to let kids play outside. Living in fear is a norm? No proper healthcare, no paid time off, no paid parental leave, no safe public transport, no healthy food regulations is a norm? No-one isn't demanding to get more for their taxmoney for people instead of fatting up monopolies and businesses? And people are happy with all that?

I am really shocked about her final point. I knew that the American education system is bad, but I never realised HOW bad and, honestly, despicable it is. I am from Europe, and these videos make me realise how blessed I am to be born here and having had a sane upbringing and education.

I once forgot my (expensive) camera on a seat in a pub in Brussels. Went back the other day to pick it up...

Hayley is the prime example of a person living in another country, getting that "outside perspective" of their home country. You see a lot of things clearer or at least from a different angle once you've spent some time abroad.

Learning about history is incredibly important. Between 9 and 15, my parents took me camping to Poland as it was so damn cheap. I must have been 13 or 14 when we went to visit the original Auschwitz concentration camp and it made a huge impression on me. Seeing the human hair behind the glass, the spectacles, the suitcases ... it truly made it 'real'. Now this was back in the mid 70's and it's horrifying to me to see how it's now almost like a tourist attraction.

My daughter (9yo) comes home alone by bus 😅😂 To be honest it’s only 3 bus stations but still She learns to be independent at a young age so i think it’s a good thing ❤

As an English child growing up in the Seventies I was merely told to be home before it got dark. I walked to primary school on my own at the age of 5 as did all my friends. When I was a bit older, I used to cycle to schools. Even now, most English children play alone outside and walk / cycle to school on their own if it’s within a reasonable distance…

My dad took me to a football bar to watch a game when I was 6. Thats kindoff normal in our town in germany.

10:00 This is more a reflection of that individual child's taste than a cultural difference. We have McDonald's, frozen pizzas, chips and sugary sodas all around as well, and many kids (and grown-ups) fall for them as well.

Can't wait for you to travel to Germany! You deserve experiencing it first hand! Please tell us before you go, so your subscribers from here can show you the best places and life here ;) You would fit perfectly here because you're such a humble and reasonable guy!

Drinking age is something I never understood in the US, here you can have a beer or wine with 14 if your parents or whoever is in charge allowed it. My dad gave me some beer from time to time like at a BBQ or at some festivals we visited and made sure it was never too much. Before 16 I knew my own limits and how to handle alcohol safely. So for me learning that in a safe way was very helpful never drinking too much and get in trouble because of alcohol. Oh and food can be very healthy and tasty depending what and where you get it but you can also get a lot of unhealthy but very tasty food. I personally think as long as you keep it balanced it is fine to eat what you like.

Trips to Concentration Camps like Dachau or Auschwitz are pretty common for German schools even on the opposite area of Germany they take multiple day trips to Dachau to learn about our history.

As a American who has been living in Germany for the past 37 yrs, it seems like I got debrainwashed from what I learned in school in the US. I mean really... Everything that I beleaved in while growing up in the Empire state, just disappeared... Am I ever moving back? Why would I, i'm freer and safer here than I ever would be in the States. Plus the Quality of life is much better...

I'm from Germany and when I was 6 years old my Mother didn't do so well with a cold, so I went into the kitchen, put a pan on the stove, put some fat in it, turned on the stove and waited until it sizzled and then I did I fried her some eggs and put 2 slices in the toaster and then brought her.

Her videos are great. She doesn't try to please germans by only saying positive things about germany and bad things about the US. I think she very honestly talks about her opinions on both countries. In school we learned so much about our own history, repeatedly, that by the age of 14 you just couldn't stand it anymore. Every school years schedule included the nazis and the 3rd reich and each year the facts got a little darker and deeper. As a kid you hate it and you're like "uggggh, again??". But in retrospect i think it was good like that. We learned a lot about hostories of other countries too. And i still remmeber how we somewhat painted an overall nice picture of the US. This was in the 90s and early 2000s. I dont remember being critical about things as much. This definitely changed.

Generally speaking I would say german parents try to educate their children to learn and handle risks earlier by themselves. "I you are afraid your child to drown, teach him swimming." If you travel to Cologne I would commend you to have a Kiosk-Beer at a public square. You buy a beer and drink it there, for example at "Brüsseler Platz". People in Cologne are quite communicative. The area is also good to go out at night - not so many tourists like in the "Altstadt".

Butter bread with radishes 🤤

What truly shocked me about the living in fear in the USA: we were on vacation in the northwest and ate at a restaurant, my brother had a fish bine stuck in his throat and trouble breathing right and was afraid, we asked the waiter for a hospital or doctor close to the restaurant and he suggested to go to a hospital 100miles away, we asked if there was nothing closer and he said well there was a small hospital 15miles away, but it was in a Native American region. We did not understand at all and asked if it was forbidden to go there and he said no but don‘t go, it‘s better in the other hospital. We could not understand that at all and of course went to the closer hospital, needless to say the bone was out in no time and everyone was super nice, but that degree of fear towards people thath he perceived as „different“ was utterly shocking to us.

Hey Joel, please be careful with drinking alcohol in Germany. Just want to say don't underestimate German beer. And it's not that easy to stop drinking when you're already drunk. I'm the guy when I start, I can't stop. That's why I don't drink anymore because every time I drank too much, the evening became a mess. 😁 I wish you a great time over here. Have fun!

I would like to pay a big compliment. Of all the reaction videos about Germany (made by Americans), yours are by far the most authentic, the most likeable with a lot of knowledge and above all... you don't stop the video every few seconds and don't chatter about things that have nothing to do with the video. 👍👍

This is so amazing. My friend lost his wallet last week on a bench at Maybachufer, containing all his important documents (ID, driving license, medical cards etc) plus 250 euros. He spent half an hour searching around and finally canceling his credit cards. When he went home around an hour later, he found it under his doormat, about 2 km away from the place where he lost it. Everything was still in there and the awesome person who brought it back did not even leave a note. Faith in humanity restored, my friends 🥰

As a 6 to 9 year old I walked home every day after school - some 1.5 km. I went alone for skiing, visited restaurants ordering my food and paying for it, took ski lifts, trams, went to the beach ...... in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and Spain.. I never felt scared nor did my parents.

radishes on a buttered bread with a pinch of salt is one of the best foods during summer, add a Radler to it and it is perfect.

Joel saying he's gonna drink alcohol in Germany. Me immediately being reminded of the high school exchange we had with Cincinnati in 10th grade where 4 of the 10 U.S. students ended up in the hospital with alcohol poisoning on the second day of the their stay in Germany 😳 We wanna see more of your awesome videos, so please remember that one to two Mass is enough and Radler exists😅

😂😂😂😂😂😂 we love the butterbrot with radish, or cucumber🥒 or tomatoes with onions🌰 try it!

I found your Channel just a few days ago and now am kinda addicted watching Americans react to things in Germany. Especially your content just always makes me happy to see pop up on my KZfaq recommended. Amazing content really, cant wait for you to visit Germany yourself and hear about your experiences.

Alcohol is one of the most dangerous drugs for you and for others. But prohibition doesn't work. That's a fact.

LOL the food choice of the kid reminded me of my mom and I going grocery shopping when I was a kid and we would always go to the Supermarket Restaurant after (Migros Restaurant, google it) and all I would want to eat would be a little tuna or egg canape and a big ass plate of cucumber salad with dill dressing 🤣 and I was like 7-9 years old. Loved that shit and still do.

Completely normal in the Netherlands. They play unattended, cycle, go to school independently. Alcohol is legal from 18 years old but very often kids get to drink alcohol under control by the parents at home from about 15-16 years.

I think it's normal to leave a stroller outside or let even small kids roam free without 24/7 supervision. I think it's insane that you (in the US) always have to fear for your children. Edit: my 7yo walks home from school alone every day. It takes her around 30-40 minutes. No one blinks an eye here.

I just recently learned (and am still reeling from the fact) that Schindler's List is R-rated in the US while it's recommended for 12 and older in Germany and I think that sums up pretty much how Germany trusts children to be capable of much more than some would think and how we approach our history. Here, preparation for WW2 history lessons begins very early, very subtly. When I was a child, it started back in elementary school, with stories about how wonderful and enriching friendships with people who are different are, be it just looks or from a different culture. I think I was 12 or 13 when we watched the movie "The Wave." 15 when Schindler's List was released in German cinemas and we all watched it because a) Spielberg, b) relevant to our history lessons around that time and b) our teachers (not just the history teacher) almost insisted on everyone going and watching it. I can't say much about how it's done today since I'm not a school kid anymore and I don't have kids. But I hope it's still done in a similar way. Ultimately, my impression has been that we have far more trust in the intelligence and strength of children and generally believe that being sad and a little scared sometimes is an important part of growing up, even when still young, and not trauma. That's why it's not that unusual that children watch spooky or intense movies or know Andersen's Little Mermaid fairy tale with the original ending (and actual character growth) before they have the attention span to sit through a Disney movie. Contrary to popular belief in other countries, many children actually like to feel the full spectrum of emotions, even sadness from a fairy tale without a happy end, as long as it's experienced in a safe, caring environment.

Oh, it´s Hayley. I love her 🎉

I like your open mind...it`s always nice, when you tell us something about your culture...

Hello Joel, I have watched a few videos of yours in the meantime and am impressed by how open and self-reflective, clever and insightful you are about other countries, especially Germany. If there are more people like you in the US, maybe you are not lost yet. It's really a pleasure to watch you watching the videos. Robert from Berlin

It’s not just the walk to school … Kids pretty much can go somewhere and play by themselves there. As long as they are back on time

I recommend Hayley's video about guns. It's really good. It's called "How my views on guns have changed since living in Germany".

Ive had a friend in elementary school here in germany - he lived a few kilometers away in the neighbouring town. All I had to do was tell my parents "im off" and grab my bike and go. All my weekends and most of my holidays I did that. Back then I took all that for granted, but hearing this I realize how much independence me and my siblings had.

Hey fella , love your videos - bravely considering difficult subjects - thankyou

In the Netherlands there are no rules about kids in bars. There is - of course - a minimum age for drinking alcohol, but you can go to a bar and drink a limonade or something like that when you're not 18 yet.

Hayley Alexis has a good channel and videos about her experiences as an american in Germany, well worth watching. Or subbing 😉

In Scandinavian countries it's also common to take them out in winter for their midday nap. It's considered very healthy.

Yup, pretty normal. All our kids walked to school alone from six. Our daughter told us in no uncertain terms that she was quite capable of walking with her friend thankyouverymuch and to let her get on with it. When they went to high school all our kids ravelled by tram or bus, and then went to visit friends the same way at weekends.

In many nordic countries in Europe the babies are put outside in their prams, eg. in their gardens in the fres air which is good for their immune system. Personally i have to say , when my children were still babies i would not have put them alone in front of the cafe, but would have took the stoller in with us.💞

German PoV for the Holocaust: It happened and we can't do anything about it. Now the most important thing is to not let it be forgotten and to let it serve as a warning for the future.

When friends from the United States visited, we went to a alpine river nearby. Our boy was 4 years old back then. Since it was a warmer day in spring then we expected, we didn't prepare for bathing. Not a problem, he dropped his pants and went free balling to the water. We didn't even put any though into his action but our guests became VERY confused and felt a bit offended. They grew even more confused when they tried to come up for a good reason for their feelings. It was both funny and sad.

Hey Joel, I'm waiting for the day when you decide to learn German and live in Germany. You have a great channel and it always gives me pleasure to experience your enthusiasm for Germany. Stay as you are and have a great time in Germany. 😊

I think educating kids about alcohol and easing them into it is a safer route. Starting with lighter alcohols allows them to learn about their limits. Thats better than a 21year old getting completely wasted once they can legally drink. On the other hand the

10:51 I was very clearly monitored when it came to vegetables so I did have rich (quality wise) food but equally important were the veggies.

Hey, you are almost still a kid, and let me assure you when the time is right you will have kids and somehow I think you will make a great father. All the best on your journey!

Kids in the UK walk to school on their own when old enough, they also go to shops and parks on their own.

Somebody said to me.. 'You even can't even shoot beer cans when you're 18'. That sentence sounded so crazy to me.

When I was about 15 years old it was mandatory! to visit the concentration camp in Dachau with our school class. Unfortunately our history teachers avoided the WW II topic in school back then in the mid 80s although they should have taught us according to the curriculum. But I’m convinced that now they have lost that avoidance stance and teach about it as freely as they should. It’s a very important thing for Germans not to forget their history.

Haley Alexis is very spot on about Germany too. Also very entertaining with her "Schatzi" Mike and their quarrels. Highly recommended.

Hey, really like your videos and your "open mind" to differences and awareness of things, that may be not only different but even better that what you're used to! For me, as a German, one of my childhood "treats" was toasted bread with margarine and salt. Not as healthy as radishes, but again, that was a treat for my, like today I would get a kebab or a burger :D And on the last topic: I think, Hailey was right about the age of the school groups in Dachau. 14-16 is the age when in most schools the 2nd WW is a topic for the first time. And also I would like to add, that German schools bring our history in different classes, like History obviously, but also German Language (speech analysis, rhetoric in general, but also novels from the time or directly after) and Religion and sometimes even Arts. Sometimes that feels to be a lot and maybe even too much, but on the other hand it is necessary to see different aspects of the time and it also serves as " a good bad example" how society should not develop again.

Hayley is a legend in German content.

You're not going to loose weight if you drink too much alcoholic beverages 😂😂 Lots of calories. And if you come to Hamburg you can stay at our house for a couple of days.

👍... Drinking beer in a summer evening, at a Main Street or park with good poeple,, is so nice..

I think I was at a "Kneipe" (local pub) in the 1970s when I was around 7 or 8 years old. It was full of smoke, of course all the men drank their beer and rye. I was there with my mother and headed directly for the jukebox, and I enjoyed it being with grown-ups. For me that was normal. Adults, even the ones who didn't know me, treated me with respect, some of them joked of me having a beer. But in the end, it was just a blast of an evening for a young kid. It was just a more relaxed time back then.

Dude, after all your reactions to 'Germany', isn't it time to have a German flag next to the star spangled banner and the Union Jack? Maybe a little one?😂🍻😘 Love your channel, keep' em coming!

My disabled son transports him self it safe here

I‘m german and i life in Dachau. I can 100 precent agree what the Lady says. By the way.. guys like you are very welcome to Germany. Hope you will have the best time of your Life in Germany/Europe

I am born in 1964 and it was quite normal that on sundays we children had a walk with our dad in the morning while my mom was cooking lunch at home. After our walk, our father took us to the village pub, where he had a beer and we got our "Florida Boy Orange". Often we also brought mushrooms from our walk in the forest to the pub owner. Then I got my lemonade for free. Hayley is such a great woman. I love her. And I like your channel of cause.

I am not sure if it is German or Austrian but there is a famous children's book of poems and illustrations to "scare" kids into behaving correctly. One poem is about a boy who sucks his thumbs . Johnny Suck A Thumb and his mother says she is going to the store so he will be alone and warned the son "if you suck your thumb, a tall man with big scissors will come and snip snip off your thumbs" and the boy being stubborn sucks his thumbs while his mother is away. and A tall man with big red scissors jumps in and snip snips off his thumbs and his mother comes home and finds the boy with no thumbs and says "oh see now you did not listen to me!" Another one was a boy who refuses to eat his soup.. the boy says take that nasty soup away i refuse.. every day refusing.. he gets thin like a thread.. the next day he was dead! :) Another one a girl starts playing with matches and animals tell her to sop.. she keeps on playing with matches.. sets herself on fire and ends up a pile of ashes with animals crying all around her! That was just three of those poem stories :) Then of course there is Krampus at Christmas time! If you kids are bad the Krampus will take your children away in a bag! I think it is Austria that there is the Krampus March where People dressed up like Krampus parade around! :)

so the drinking age in switzerland is broken down into two ages, basically low % beer or mixed beer with wine, is 16. and spirits is 18. but if I am honest, were all really really relaxed about it over here. The mentality as a father towards my kids, Ill let them sip and try anything at all, I have. My training here for them is, if your not stupid, and you are responsible, you understand the risks and you manage the risks properly. AND i see you being responsible. then under my supervision im cool with it. This is how it was for me, "greek father", I was given sprits beer and wine at a very early age and did not feel the need to catch up on the last 18 years when i turned 18, it was just like meh, whatever.

I was in Wilmington, North Carolina, last week. And I went on a tour of a mansion that was the home of a plantation owner who had slaves living and working there. And the tour guide told us about giving a school class a tour recently. Young kids. So it is done at least to some degree in the US as well.

I have been eating radishes on buttered bread ever since i can remember and i still enjoy it today...i'm 62 😃 Greetings , Marion .

6:49 Note to Self: Joel loves someone who brings up citations. BRB going to the archives and compiling data.

German here: I went to elementary school in the 90s.I always walked home. (Abou 2km/1.3miles) And for the first two years I always picked up my little brother from the nearby Kindergarten (pre-school age 3-6) and we walked the rest of about 1,5km/1mile alone. Me being 6, he being 4. Never had a problem😂😅

Growing up in the UK, I had wine spritzers with big occasion meals (like weddings or Christmas) from about the age of eight. The idea was to demystify alcohol as a thing so it doesn’t feel forbidden and transgressive. We are also allowed to have some alcohol with meals in restaurants/pubs from 16 as long the meal is substantial and there are over-18s present to supervise. And like Germany, going to bars or pubs as a kid with your parents is normal. Lots of our pubs have play areas for children even, or colouring books or other things to occupy them.

yeah that vegetables part is absolut real my kids like vegetables too and when my dad babysitt them only 1 out of 3 times they wanna eat junk food pizza burger or someting different.

To mention the concentration camp issue: For us it's very important that the kids get in touch with these things because we have the responsibility that something like this will never happen again. And it's very different if you just read about that time in a history book or if you are really standing in front of a mass grave or see the captives clothes, the broken glasses and other belongings of the victims. When I was there the history became real for me, this was REALITY 60 years (at that time) ago, and at that moment it felt really real. I remember that after the visit I had to deal with it for days or even weeks because it was so touching. And the kids should get a feeling for that, how cruel and brutal the Nazis were and how much the jews, sinti and roma and all the others had to suffer. And in the 30ties the Nazis started to indoctrinate them at school age. So we have to make sure that something like this never happens again

16:48 That is also because Critical Race Theory wasn’t a thing till the 1970s when scholarship would be advanced. Now, of course, there are hordes of people who can’t understand why a sanitised history is not the solution.

everything applies to 🇨🇿 as well, thats so crazy you find these things insane in US.. btw fresh bread, fresh butter, pinch of salt, raddishes, cucumbar salad I will take any day over frozen pizza or mcdonald, just dont burp anybodys dirrection😂

As a young man, your exposure to the world through the internet will serve you well, your thirst for knowledge and interest in the world will bear fruit, good luck on your journey, best wishes MFJ

Hi Joel. When you come to Germany, yeah, by all means, enjoy yourself, even with alcohol. But that doesn't mean binge drinking. Sure, you could, if you wanted to. No one would stop you. It's just that you have to ask yourself if the hangover the next day is really worth it. Sure, a good buzz now and then feels nice, but getting punch drunk usually isn't worth it. Responsible consumption for the enjoyment of the taste and the company is what you should aim for. That's totally fine. That's basically what most German (and all other European) parents try to teach their kids. Everything in moderation is worth it, but you have to KNOW what moderation is for a specific substance. Not talking about it, not being taught leads to self-experimentation without guidance. THAT'S when it gets potentially dangerous.

Great video buddy. I spent alot of time in Amsterdam, and you learn the true history of things over there, where as in the USA, especially the south, you don't learn "Real" history, you learn a "story". Then find out later in life that the whole thing is just made up, or twisted. Hayley rocks. Thanks buddy. Keep posting the good vibes.

In the 60s we all went to school on our own. I remember at 5 being put on school coach then arriving at bus stop mum would meet me. My brothers school was about a milw away so they walked there from an early age

Hey, I really like your channel, having watched at least one video every day for the last month or so. One thing I would ask you to do is, to give the NAME of the youtubechannels you are reacting to in the video or in the description, because many youtubers you comment on are cool and worth a follow, so it would be easier (and, in a way, more fair towards THEM), if you listed them in the ressources.... Thanks for your channel, I am very much looking forward to your videos from Germany. Living in the center, near Kassel, if you want to spend a couple of days there I can show you some amazing things....

you will enjoy when you visit Germany the first time. For many american they are have a culture shock when they see when people drinking beer in a public park. I have friends from the US how live here in Europe, they say we love to live in Europe when i drink a beer in public you go to jail. One friend from the US, told me once, the Country of the Free its not so Free you are thinking. I have more freedom here in Europe then in the US.

The kidnapping cases we've had in Denmark have all but one been done by someone mentally restrained, who maybe hears the baby squeek, and takes it for a stroll. It happened in Cph 3 months after my son was born - and now was sleeping in his pram outside the hairdressers! I know this, because an officer stormed the salon... The baby was back in his Mum's arms within 40 minuttes - But by Jesus, Mo and Bud, I didn't even know we had so many police cars, police in civilian cars, and on police on bikes, as was on the streets that half hour!

I found your channel just today, love it =D When you will come to germany? :)

the baby in front of the coffee shop-scene is normal, it is not a situation where kids can get lost. and mothers will always place themselves inside so they can watch the cart all the time.
