Why do Americans not travel ?

Actually i have traveled quite a lot and America at it's worst, is better than any place else.

As strange as that might seem to you, the U.S. is big and varied in landscape. We travel regularly by car farther than the length of your entire country.

We can go from the high sierras to the sonoran desert in a day, and there's a lot to do and see in between.

If you have traveled here, you should understand this.

Because they are subconsciously afraid to see how other countries and people really are, and thus how their country really is.
They are afraid of giving up the idea that the US is the best and the only developed place on earth, and like to maintain all the clichés and funny opinions they have on other countries/people.
Thinking they're the superior humans only works as long as they haven't seen the truth.

I don't travel because if a TSA agent touched by dick I would grab him by the head and twist until his neck breaks and then gouge out his eyes while he dies.

I'd love to, but I don't have the money. All of Europe is too expensive.

Sadly, I think a lack of vacation time plays a big factor. Allot of Americans are lucky to get 2 to 3 weeks vaction in a year. How many vacation days does the average European individual get?

Exactly. I get 2 weeks and can't bank more than 4. When you look at how big the USA is and how spread out everyone's friends and families are, its pretty obvious why I can't leave the country whenever I feel like it. Add in weddings, funerals, reunions, vacation people have to take when their kids are home from school over the holidays, the fact that people are getting screwed out of their pensions, and the median income in the USA is a lot lower than people around the world realize.

This year alone, 850$ round trip ticket to San Diego plus hotel and food(funeral and wake), 600$ round trip to North Carolina plus hotel and food(family wedding), I can't remember how much for my trip to a friends wedding in Denver but it was a lot, I went to NYC to visit family and check out some museums and a Broadway show. Plus student loans and savings towards a college fund for the kids plus my private health insurance.

I did go to England and while trying to watch football be subjected to questions about "soccer" which I politely informed them was a name the British Isles gave the game a long time ago, a shortened version of association football. I also was able to inform said drunken Enlish the reason football has three codes, and shares its name with other codes called football, is because when it was invented any game played with a ball ON FOOT was called football. Hence the three venerable sports that share the name, and its not named football because you kick the ball with your foot. I like to educate ignorant cultures that don't get out too much.

Them: (After a rambling lecture on USA politics and sport) Herp derp, you should call it eggball, herp derp, you don't even use your foot! (They all smirk like an intelligent point was just made)

Me: (Condescendingly) You really should open up a book and get out more often, take some vacations to different cultures. (After all, when in Rome...)

I've decided to try South America next time because I have friends and family who will speak the language and know the locals. I've always wanted to go to continental Europe, but I've heard too many bad stories from people having their food spit on for being American, getting price gouged, and spending a mint just to travel around looking at old buildings and such things. Maybe East Asia some day when I'm retired, if I ever get to retire.

I guess everyone has his own opinion...

I have lived in the states for a number of years, dont like it, Europe is much better, more history, broader minds, much more culture, MUCH better woman..

America is virtually the same all over...Gas station, 711, Burger King, or McDonalds on every intersection from Florida to Washington state.

There are some things i like about the states, but the things i dont like far outweigh those that i do....sorry...

American "football" = Gay Rugby.....LOL!

Twas the night before Christmas, and in front of me;
My dog was balls deep in phennomemnen from GLP,
The night was quite boring, and as you could see,
I had nothing better to do than troll LoP

Three teenage A.C.'s all chained to my bed,
Two sucked my tits, while the last gave me head;
The handcuffs were chafing, their collars on tight,
I warmed up the cattle prod for a long night.

When a call from security disrupted my screwing;
An alarm had gone off, and some trouble was brewing.
I went to my monitor, scanned the estate.
The intruder was visible on camera eight.

A fat little midget, quite plump like a grape,
He'd obviously enjoyed the odd good anal rape.
The hookers and AC's would just have to wait,
While I did what I did to protect my estate.

When I got to my parlor I saw TRINITY there;
My bodyguards had him strapped down to a chair.
They had beat him severely, they couldn't avoid it.
And TRINITY they said, well he rather enjoyed it.
"I came for your help," he told me with a tear;
"You're the only one who can troll GLP this year."

"We are so much alike, I know that much is true;
Since you also spread joy; just as much as I do.
I give everyone bans and I like to get paid
Is it so much to ask that I want to get laid?"

"A blumpkin! a donkey punch! the GLP Mod steamer!
SHR's a post-op tranny, and she won't let me ream her!"
I sympathized with the dumb fuck this was true;
But there were some things (and some mods) that I just wouldn't do.

"I'll help the old dude" said a voice from behind me,
He looked over my shoulder and said, "Thank-you kindly!"
So, who would I thank for setting me free?
Why the mod phennomenen (from the site GLP)

TRINITY was thrilled and he did a quick dance
With a gleam in his eye and a tent in his pants.
He reached over his fat gut and gave her a grope
and said "You should donate to the GLP telescope"

Just give me more money, and give me a break
Cause it's quite clear by now that the whole thing was fake.
She dropped to her knees and she spit on her hand,
As she undid his belt something happened, unplanned.

At the touch of her fingers he moaned and he farted;
And TRINITY was finished before he had started.
And phennomenen was literally covered in goo;
Like a young blade of grass in the fresh morning dew.

But more like a birthday cake covered in frosting;
Poor TRINITY collapsed the whole thing quite exhausting.
phenn licked her full lips and she said, "it's quite chalky."
"It's lucky for you that I'm into bukkake."

Well, TRINITY got up and he brushed off his suit,
As she licked the last drops of his seed off his boot.
Then TRINITY said, "Sorry, I guess one thing's clear:
It's that paid membership should come more than one time a year."

imagine, living your entire life, having never left your home territory

Well I live in Ohio. If all you judge the USA by is whats off the interstates then you're the ignorant one.

Just in my state I've been to the Burial mounds and several forts from old wars in southern Ohio, Amish country, German village in Columbus, old cities like Athens with beautiful brick buildings and streets, the Lake Erie isles and wine country, hiked the Wayne national Forest, I shop at the Cleveland west side market for international foods, checked out the orchestra and museums at University Circle, Football Hall of Fame in Canton, went to Blossom to catch everything from rock concerts to classical music.

Nationally, I've been to Pearl harbor, the barrier island in Carolina, I've been to Multnomah Falls in Oregon, Las Vegas, traveled up the California coast, seen the Lincoln Memorial and many other sites and museums in Washington DC, I've been to Gettysburg and Antietam, the Baseball Hall of fame in Cooperstown NY, seen the St. Louis arch, I walked among Mormons in Utah and saw the Great Salt lake, I've been to Pike's Peak and the Badlands and the Devil's tower, I've seen Niagra falls from both sides of the border. I don't think you tried too hard to explore America if all you know are gas stations, McDonalds, and Burger King. You should have spread your wings further, oh cultured one.

Lived in several places in Florida, lived in Savannah Georgia, Lived in Boston, been to about 28 states in all, and.......

To be fair you are a new country, where Europe is thousands of years old with an amazing and very rich history and culture that has shaped the world into what it is today, for good or bad....

As you can see from my flag, i'm in Malta right now, very unique place with a massive history, sad thing is i bet most Americans have never heard of it and certainly couldn't find it on a map..

Because they have everything where they live, from Alaska where they can froze to death if they want to sunny Florida and Cali, it takes a lifetime to explore their own amazing country.

Wish I could travel there and live with generous GLP people! lol

Because they are subconsciously afraid to see how other countries and people really are, and thus how their country really is.
They are afraid of giving up the idea that the US is the best and the only developed place on earth, and like to maintain all the clichés and funny opinions they have on other countries/people.

some don't like being groped
before a plane ride

I thought we made that clear
before when we voiced our opinions
and they didn't listen.

so we stopped traveling

let the airlines go broke

This ^

What's funny to me is all the talk of mankind's "great step forward into the Age of Aquarius."



The truth is, most people are so goddamned stupid I'm surprised they can step out of bed in the morning.

Example? The dumbass that created this thread.

Can't stand the traditional wooden shoes of Europe and most other non-American nations.

The constant clak-clak-clak, it drives you batty!
