| Mockery | I have a passport and have left the country several times. Frankly, I'm much more interested in traveling outside of the country than in it. |

Yeah Burgurman, I thought the same too that america is a continent so will have as diverse cultures and climates as europe which is just another continent. btw, when I had american friends in England, they said never once were they made to feel unwelcome. I think all that stuff is overblown in the press. Now maybe if Bush came to England, we could arrange a few riots................. |

America is a very diverse place when you travel across it, we already have different cultural areas, climates, cities, etc. that use the same money and speak the same language. Already that makes traveling here much more inviting than going to europe, as well as having to get the passport, getting past borderguards, all of that crap. We have vacation spots for all types here anyway, with colorado, california, florida, vegas, there is enough to see here without ever having to go anywhere outside the country. and most americans now believe europeans hate them and don't want them in their countries. The thought of going somewhere where the people are pissed at your presence and trat you like crap kinda make you not want to go there. We are always given these horror stories about how some unnamed american tourist goes to some country and gets kidnapped and held for ransom, or is taken to cash machines and robbed completely etc. makes people not want to go anywhere. oh, and it costs a hell of alot more to go anywhere else, traveling, hotels, blah...can travel here for much cheaper. |

I just got a passport at christmas time, i visited belize,mexico, and roatan and some other places in that area. Other than a couple very small trips to mexico thats it for me. The us is huge and there is tons to see here, ive been to almost every state here and i still find it entertaining and interesting to just see things around here. as far as being cheaper to go to europe than across the country I seriously doubt that. for every "cheap" plane ticket to europe you can find an even cheaper one across the us, not only that but flying isnt the only option. Most people need to see more of our own country before they start seeing crazy foreign things. even still i have wanted to go visit over in europe for quite a while. I even convinced my parents to give me 1k to get me started. The only problem i see is time. I want to spend at least 1 month there, maybe 2. I think I can easily afford the cost, but when I come back I wouldnt have a job  That and my roomate and i are much too lazy to start planning.

I went to Milwaukee to meet some American Friends I'd met online. They had only trvelled as far as Chicago and once to Las Vegas. I invited them to visit in the UK and before they left the States, they told me they wanted to move to England. So I showed them London, Manchester, Stoke-on-Trent and Macclesfield, the last town being an accident due to missing a train. They no longer want to move to England!!!! hahahaha But I also took them to Amsterdam and they approved and will return. |

I visit other countries all the time and I don't have a passport. Well. I have several, but none with my name on them. I mean, come on. Real, true, verifiable identification is asking for it. No, wait, I have no money to travel. No, I have money to travel, but I'll be damned if I'll spend a nickel on anything that isn't %100 american. USA! USA! USA!! Did you know the French don't have a word for Entrepeneur? If I leave america I'll get pinched by the internation tribunal at the hague for Crimes Against Humanity. No, wait, that's not me, that's Henry Kissinger. You need a passport to leave the country? When did that start? My word is no longer good enough? Foreign bastards. |

| Cosmo Electrolux | I have a passport. I've been to England and to Mexico. |

| Carnivore | Sadly, I am an American sans passport, but that will not last. I've wanted to travel to Europe for years and I will. Unfortunately, I'm in the process of buying a house wit' m'lady at the moment, so it might be a few years. In the meantime, I have sent an ambassador. My sister is in London for the semester. May she represent me well! |

Yes, and contrary to popular belief, Ireland is not filled with gold and rainbows and crap like that. You wanna see something cool? Take a gander at the Loch Ness or the Moors. But watch out for werewolves

| Helm | Contrary to popular belief, there are indeed things to do and places to see in europe. |

no passport, no money, the furthest i've ever really gone out of CA is Vegas, and that's been mostly on other people's dimes. Even if it's cheaper to go to Europe than it is to travel within the country, I still couldn't afford it. I wanted to go to Japan after I graduated college and thought I could do it by teaching english for the summer there but I couldn't even afford the plane ticket. I didn't get a driver's license til I was 19 either simply b/c I couldn't afford the Car so why get a license? |

| Skulhedface | I do indeed have a passport but have neither the time or the money to effectively use it to travel further than 10 miles across either the Mexican or Canadian borders. |

Italy is worth every penny alone. I've been three times now just to see every one of the major cities and it was a blast every time. I don't really have much else to add since I'm in the UK, but driving through Europe was half the fun. I've yet to visit the US. |
