Why would you want to leave North America when you can just go to Vegas and see the world? You guys are all just crazy.

careful, do not patronize or be condersending to those who have not travelled, do not wish to travel, or do not feel so strongly about travel as us. some my fear travel, or their own concept of what it holds, then inform and inspire, but do not try to force your views upon others, if these others are holding you back fight for your beliefs and your right to travel, but do not pitty them. don't become so high and migthy, you'll just find contempt for those closest to you and your home, and on your travels you'll find happiness and peace, but on your return there will only be bitterness and a feeling of alienation.

if you cannot travel the world yet, go around your state, county whatever, then venture into the next one, stay in your own city, whats the point of learning your way around the world, when you don't know whats in your back yard?

Leftist rhetoric, truth or both???

While it may have a lesftist slant, I'd say it's the truth. I think I'm blessed to be in one of the cities that came up as an exception in the comments portion of the link, but I hate to think that there's a whole other world out there waiting to be explored and connected with... and it'll take more than a lifetime to get that done. Time to get crackin'!

And for the love-it-or-leave-it crowd, show me a work visa.

^ Wow, I'd agree. That guy should be a carpenter he hit the nail on the head so many damn times... I don't think I've read a better summarized comparison - that encompasses so many of the basic lifestyle differences as well as overall cultural mores.

DAHHH!!! One of my friends just drove me crazy about an hour ago!!! She's planning to go to London for 2 weeks this summer to visit people and she's buying the tickets today and i said: "wow, that's in a while"
her: "well jake, if you knew ANYTHING about travel you would know that you have to buy them this early!"
me: "umm...haha, no, you have a while, there's no rush"
her: "NO!!! JAKE!!! I'VE BEEN CHECKING!!! THEY GET MORE AND MORE EXPENSIVE!!!"
me: "that's because the dollars going down but ok..."

oy, i hate high school.....everyone's trying to pretend their mature, *sigh*

Ryder haha you must be a freshman. I've heard bad things about them. I was one last yr but I didn't pay attention to other people cause I was obsssed w/ my world history class. Though I must admit I noticed that class was full of ditzy people I guess you could say, who were impressed by my history skills.

"Whoa Lizz! You got a 100. I only got an 80 "

And then what bothers me is that these same people signed up for AP European History. Oh well...first test of the semester is Friday. Can't wait!

This is a bit off topic so if you wanna respond just PM me or IM me. My AIM sn is evillizhaha.
