I’m gonna have to maintain that if you come from some small European shit hole and you travel a short distance to a neighboring country you are not more traveled than a new yorker who has visited south Carolina and Texas.

Fair.

This is like an American going to the Bahamas. Like everyone does that. Most American do visit mexico.

Yeah but those are actually different countries. An American travelling to Mexico is different than a Californian travelling to Texas.

its just like a 13 hour plus flight and hard with kids.

Yeah I completely understand why Americans don’t travel as much overseas, all I’m saying is that it’s kinda funny sometimes when Americans talk about other countries with a lot of confidence even though they have never even visited that country.

And I also think it’s pretty funny when Europeans think they are basically a native just because they visited a country a couple of times.

Its just like a Romanian almost never goes to see Texas.

Sure, but again, you claimed that the US is “more Like the EU in form and function”. That’s just not true, the EU doesn’t really have a federal government at all, it doesn’t even have law enforcement or a common cultural identity. I would say that a Romanian has about as much in common with an Irishman as he does with an American. And I’m not saying that someone from Texas is exactly the same as someone from California, but the cultural differences are smaller.
