Rainman Artwork 2013 NYC Cabbie "Driver"

You ask me, the whole world should give thanks for the U.S. next week, for being so awesome, and really setting a shining example of what other countries wish they could be.

The problem with Rainman's stuff is that, by sending it Express, they require a signature, and supposedly only hold these packages for a couple of days before sending them back to the sender. Thanksgiving and Christmas are the two biggest holidays in the U.S. for travel, so I'm guessing that I'm not the only one that ordered who will be away for more than a couple of days.

Really! A couple of days? That's mental they hold express parcels here for like 18 days before they return them to sender.

Your idea of a holiday worldwide to give thanks to the USA is an interesting idea I wonder how it would catch on overseas......

Yeah, they don't screw around. Plus, though it's usually a positive, we don't usually have much interference from customs here. So while others may frequently need to wait an extra few days or a week for something to clear customs, in the U.S. items shipped Express from Korea usually arrive in about 3 days. So if Rainman shipped these theoretically this Friday, it would probably arrive to my house on Tuesday. And if no one was there to sign, would probably be shipped back to Rainman Friday (day after Thanksgiving). If items aren't sent via Express, they will hold onto them longer (I've had Priority Mail packages shipped to eBay buyers that sat at their post office for a month or so).

The Irish have had a pretty good historical relationship with the U.S., so I suspect you guys would go for it before many of your neighbor countries would

We don't do your weird 'Black Friday' 50% off crap we wouldn't want unless it was cheap anyway day of consuming Turkey thanksgivingy thing here in the UK soooooooooo send away Rainman

Well the U.S. did ensure international political stability and rescued the European and world economies after all the nastiness that Europe was responsible for in the early to mid-20th century. Y'know, Marshall Plan, Bretton Woods, etc. *waves flag patriotically*

Well from a personal point of view the US is certainly no country of high moral standing. America has around 5% of the world’s population, and 25% of its prisoners. Roughly one in every 107 American adults is behind bars, a rate nearly five times that of Britain, seven times that of France and 24 times that of India. Its prison population has more than tripled since 1980. I am not comfortable paying homage to a country that incarcerates more people each year than any other country around the world

My first post was meant in jest, but seriously, if not for the U.S. intervention post-WWII, the UK economy would transitioned into a barter system. Anyone succeeding economically in Europe today, and anyone there that appreciates a lack of major military conflict over the last 70 years owes its well being to what the U.S. did then. But sure, "what have you done for me lately?"

What a statement to make on a board that is so diverse. His opinion of course. Definitely don't agree with that.

Anyhow, really hope RM ships this month. December is crazy for USPS I'm sure. Don't want my package end up being some kid's Xmas gift.

Economics was never my strong point

You can choose to agree with it or not, but it's a fact not opinion

May want to do something about your avatar and sig than.

If you are going to be away for an extended amount of time all you have to do is fill out a hold form at the post office. I do it every time I leave for a vacation and they hold everything until the date I choose to pick up.

I am happy to differentiate between fictitious and non fictitious acts

I actually get my mail held that way using an online request, and I just get them to redeliver when I return. I'm not sure if it works for express mail packages. Hopefully I won't be in a situation where I have to find out!

My implication was that it's an american production from american writers and american actors. You do know what AMC stands for right?
