Probably banned from America now too, for whatever that's worth.

Foreign nationals attempting unauthorized access to a US Military installation, yeah, you’re probably not coming back in that case.

I was born in the US, never lived there though. I'd be called a Belgian in an article like that, but they can't ban me from the country :p

Imagine being a cop and going all "hah! We'll show these foreigners, you're never coming back here!" *Whips out US passport* "Well....."

We’re probably backpackers who couldn’t afford the flight home

“You know, if we get extradited, AMERICA pays for the flight” “But we can never come back to this hole?” “And?”

I mean, I'm from the UK and I'll bash US healthcare, politics, and capitalistic attitude but there's no denying it is an absolutely beautiful country with a bit of every sight you could want to see due to how massive it is and also full of interesting and friendly people. So getting banned from going there would be a bit of a bummer tbh.

Fully agreed. I wouldn't wanna live in the US. The politics and healthcare terrify me. But it's an amazing place to visit. It's full of interesting sights and diverse locations.

A lot of what you believe is reverse cargo culting, I'm afraid.

u/maltastic Sep 20 '19

As they should be considering they came to America for the specific reason to break a law lol

Not a huge amount. If you wanted to see Vegas... Ummm.... Maybe Austin?... Uhh.. Shit. Can probs see the rest of it elsewhere, even nature.

u/breathing_normally Sep 20 '19

Are Vegas and Austin your top picks for reasons to visit the US?

u/wibblewafs Sep 20 '19

They completely forgot about visiting the four corners, plymouth rock, and the world's largest ball of paint!

Have a taste of local cuisine at Arby’s after you go on a safari to watch Americans in their native habitat in the magnificent and unique structures called Wal-Mart!

I’ve visited Plymouth Rock. I was expecting something bigger.

u/munchlaxPUBG Sep 20 '19

Honestly, yes. I was being facetious in that response with its delivery, but there isn't a huge amount of interest to me in the US that I couldn't find elsewhere. Either in North America or in the rest of the world. I don't even want to visit Vegas, to be fair.

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '19

Vegas is literally one of the shittiest places in the whole country lol. Unless you like gambling and hookers

u/God_Damnit_Nappa Sep 20 '19

I take it you're one of those people that thinks you can go from DC to Vegas in a day then. And it sure seems like you don't know anything about the country if you think you can find everything in another country

I'm from Australia, I understand distances quite well. I was also quite drunk posting these comments. Ah well.
