Hmm, Apparently I am not an average American, I would very much love to travel the world, unfortunately, I don't have the several thousand dollars it costs to take a trip out of the country. I can barely scrap together a couple hundred dollars to fly to camp for the summer. I think if you were to ask around that would be the general consensus, I know many people that would love to travel outside the country, but for many of us it is just not an option financially.
I have stayed out of this argument and this thread for a while, but I gave in because I had to find out what could be so important as to go on for TWO pages!!!
I am personally disgusted by the gross generalizations people are making from every direction! We are supposed to be the well-educated, open-minded generation. If anyone came onto this page that hadn't been here before, they would quickly make the generalization that we are all a bunch of petty, immature, close-minded idiots. Get over it guys! And move onto something else! I am sorry if a sound like a bitch, but seriously this is ridiculous.
