Boo-hoo Just because it didn't bother you doesn't mean it doesn't bother me.

Talk with other people then...

So you have more options than I do it seems, doesn't justify being rude.

I don't control other people's topics of conversation.

You're correct, they force me to notice over and over again.

Ads. Ads are forcing me to care about the Olympics. Peer pressure forces me to watch the Olympics to know what people are talking about.

Depends on your situation. If you have family and friends maybe, but lots of people don't survive and you don't see them. Healthcare, housing, food, etc. is mostly tied to employment or lots of money. People don't have time or energy to figure out any alternatives if they exist, and face eviction and starvation if they don't, which is a whole new world of not being able to survive. We see lots of drug abuse, theft, suicide, and similar things precisely because there is no safety net.

Oh sure, like you can just do that if you're out of money. (/sarcasm) It costs money and time to get a passport, fly out, have a destination that will accept you, figure out security for yourself, etc. Plus, you're making it harder for the existing people there to keep prices low.
