You will find most US pilots have traveled extensively so trying to make your point about how provincial the US is showing how ignorant you are. |

I think the fact that 50.001% of the US population could have voted for that dangerous idiot George 'Dubya' Bush proves how ignorant they are! And it would seem that 75% of US citizens have never left the North American continent from what you say. Glider pilots may be a bit more adventurous. Apart from entering and leaving the UK and Ireland, most EC Citizens can travel freely thoughout Europe. I haven't been stopped at a continental border for years. Derek Copeland |

"delboy" wrote I understand that only about 25% of US Citizens even hold passports! Poor choice to measure with. In a country as large as the USA, you can travel within it for a lifetime and never see it all. -- Jim in NC |

Derek Copeland- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I've travelled throughout Europe and Asia, South America etc and loved every minute of it. People are basically the same everywhere. But one thing that I always noticed when travelling and trying to get some idea of the "locals" and their lives is that 90% of them have never been to the US and most have never been more than 1000km from home in their entire lives. Provincial is as provincial does, Derek. It’s universal. Maybe you should spend a year travelling the USA and see for yourself. We would love to show you around! |
