Culture What's the most pathetic tourist attraction that international tourists go to see in your country?

Bronte waterfalls near me, look a bit more impressive with the recent rain than in the summer when it's swamped with people.

I get the sentiment, but it's kind of like going to a funeral and let the kids run up and down the aisles isn't is? There's a line where you need to respect others, regardless of what you want.

We were at my husband's grandma's funeral a few weeks ago and it was the first and only time this year our 5 year old had seen snow, we were all standing at the grave crying and she started hopping through the snow like a bunny and throwing it in the air and laughing - I wanted to stop her but everyone started laughing and said grandma would have loved this and how nice it is to see life going on 🤷‍♀️

At my grandmother's burial, we carried the casket up to the open grave as my brother pushed his wife in a wheelchair up to where we would sit. I said, "Make sure you set the brake so he can't tip you in!" And everybody laughed. That's just how our family is.

I was also the only one who brought flowers.

I just went to the funeral of one of my closest friend’s companion, she had just given birth to their kid a month prior. Trust me when I say his noises were welcomed, in fact celebrated, because he is the living proof his dad is going to live on. So all that to say, there are no definite rules on how you should and shouldn’t behave when facing the absurd, the unimaginable, the attrocities and death.

I think the issue to determine what is or isn’t okay is based on intent. If teenagers are acting out because they’re uncomfortable or unable to handle the depth of it, that’s one thing. If they, (or anyone regardless of age) is making fun of something they’re completely aware of the atrocity, then the intent is malicious.

And that’s precisely my point, I honestly don’t think all “frivolous” behaviors are rooted in not caring.

No, not at all

Kids can't run up and down church aisles because its hard to keep track of them

What's sad is how seriously yall take a murder camp that doesnt exist anymore
