      It is pointless but hardly a uniquely American thing.

      What a dullard comment to make.

          Yep, I’m pretty simple. I see a guy climb a skyscraper in an hour and a half with nothing but a t shirt, pants, shoes, and a bag of chalk, and I’m impressed. If you don’t think it’s impressive, I’d like to see you do it. You can even be tethered if it makes you feel safer.

            The commenter you’re replying to is probably just bitter that they haven’t done anything impressive in their life.
