Your proposing destroying an existing city to improve traffic? Some of the buildings that would be ripped up pre-date the discovery of North America.ChakatBlackstar wrote: I'd say it's about time to replace them.

Just replace them as they're worn out rather then repair them. Milwaukee did that with the Marquette interchange over the past few years. They're smoothing things out by having all the off ramps on the right side of the road to decrese traffic jams. It's taken me an hour just to get out of Milwaukee after a Brewer game. It's always worst when they lost. Hopefully that won't happen nowReliant121 wrote:No country has the money, or infrastructure to rip up millions of roads and the billions of buildings attached to them.ChakatBlackstar wrote:I'd say it's about time to replace them.Reliant121 wrote:Your roads arent 1000+ years old. alot of european ones are.

But the houses and buildings are all built to conform the existing roads. the grid would slice through several buildings.

I guess some places are stuck like that, but I'm talking more about your highways and suchReliant121 wrote:But the houses and buildings are all built to conform the existing roads. the grid would slice through several buildings.

Miles are different in England? I thought sizes were consistant. And 60 miles isn't that far. It's less then the distance I travel to school three mornings out of the week.Reliant121 wrote:This is where things change. 60 miles for us is a damned long way. in american scale, it isnt.

Uh...ya. I live in Plymouth and the School is in Green Bay. You do the math. And it's actually closer to 75 miles. It takes about 1 hour 15 minutes for each trip there(and another 1 hour 15 minutes back) give or take depending on traffic conditions.Reliant121 wrote:You travel 60 miles to school? i travel about 0.9 miles to school!

Re: Right...i need suggestions.
So to us, a series is the entire show. I.E. Stargate SG-1 is the series while what you call a series is a season for us. Season 1, season 2 etc. It may have something to do with the fact that a lot of shows here premiere (spelling?) in line with the start of a calendar season. ....except for Sci-Fi channel which does things it's own wierd way...{shrugs} idk.
So how do you refer to the show if a series is a season? Is it just "the show?"

You see, to Blackstar anything outside hir normal scope "makes no sense." Even though it does make sense considering that the roads were built for foot or horse traffic, by ancient Romans, for distance far shorter than US interstates.
That said, you don't get the Sci-Fi Channel across the pond? Because some form of Stargate is on every time I turn the thing on.
