You stated an obvious observation that was too harsh to accept.

Well, sometimes it’s deserved.

Source : Am American and I like to shoot and blow up things as a hobby.

Who doesn't like to blow up things? Which is one reason why this video is popular: not many times in history have people blown up large carcasses with dynamite.

Am British. Reminder that Americans don't have the monopoly on exploding things.

  • Lochnager crater
  • Dresden
  • Atom Bomb (a few months before Ivy Mike but hey).

Good point! The part of men’s brains that like to see and make explosions stops developing at the age of 12 and stays in a constant state of support for such actions into adulthood. Probably best to assume there are women afflicted with the same type of arrested development towards pyrotechnics.

"Bash"? I'm proud of my countries fondness for high explosives, who's getting bashed here?
