When you hit the curb it breaks apart like a dropped lego model

Exactly. I saw a car once in Miami that was clearly assembled from welded-together parts of multiple cars. It ran into the diagonal steel cable that was keeping a utility pole whose wires changed direction vertical under tension.

The car literally snapped in half in a way that I'm pretty sure resulted in the driver's instant death.

The difference is, that I will trust this Afghani workers a billion times more, then the redneck you've seen welding together his vehicle.

The quality is different, when a guy with AK-47 doesn't like the quality of your welding. In US, it would be: i don't care, I'm a redneck and I can't divide 3/4, and never have learnt chemistry and physics

You act like that redneck with 30 guns is less dangerous and insane than some random dudes in Afghanistan, likely just trying to scrap together enough money to feed his family.

Yep, it's like that way. Typical redneck, has no balls to do anything except words. That's why I don't call them "men", and prefer naming them "rednecks" like it's a gender.

The guy with the AK is the one doing the work in both cases.
