space_virgin - Have you lived in other states?* From what I hear, Seattle is arguably one of the most well-balanced, diverse, tolerant enclaves in the nation.* You have Jimi Hendrix and Bruce Lee coming out of there, for g0d's sakes.* It is more the exception than the rule, though.*
oh yes. I lived in both Montana (unabomber and others of his ilk) and Northern Idaho (Neo-Nazis), and Eastern Washington (state.) I think that pretty much says it all. And you're exactly right about Seattle, which is why I love living here so much!

The original post has been completely changed. I'm kind of bummed about that because even though I didn't agree with most of it (just so everyone knows I wasn't at all angry about anything that was said, but it's hard to clarify emotions via keyboard) I think it was an interesting perspective.

Damn, was I confused for awhile. Then I realized the post had been edited. Hey moderators, can we put a tag on a post that shows that?

All I have to say on the debate is that you can find bad places to go in every country. There are parts of my own home town I wouldn't walk around in, so there is no use calling one country violent and another not.

Here,Here...I agree 100% with WWM...No mater what corner of the globe you go to you will find negative aspects, to be made aware of them is just one more thing to factor in when planning your trip. If you base you choice to travel somewhere solely on negative points, then you'll never go anywhere...look beyond the bad and embrace the good

To anyone who isn't bored already of commenting about my opinion of traveling and living in the USA, my original "tips" that ignited the contraversy can be viewed int "Asia" section of the board in the 10 Travel Tips for Philippines / Asia. The reason they sound like tips about LIVING in the States more than traveling is; how can anyone really travel in well developed countries more than a shortime without finding some kind of long term rental or job? Share the Joy of Traveling the World!!
