I'm not going to cower at home, I'm going to experience life while I've still got time on this blue ball.

Thats a nice sentiment. I wonder if the people on London Bridge felt the same way as the tires rolled over them?

The passive stance against radical islam in Europe has enabled the terrorists to "win" as you say. Also, the we'll talk all your refugees has added to the mix.

This is on Europe, and if Americans stay home, then Europe loses, but it is their fault.

Probably no worse than all those poor schmucks who just got "regular" run over this year to date, thousands more than in a terroist attack for sure.

You stay home. More for me

What does this have to do with Muslim terrorists blowing up people and running them over driving trucks or killing people with rifles....in W. Europe. Poland and other E. European countries refused to take in muslims. They are safe.

You posted pictures of Poland and pretended that none of the people in the pictures were Muslims ... because they didn't look like the culturally biased version of Muslims that you ignorantly profess.

True, I meant Western Europe. Countries that refused to take in migrants are doing great. I'll alter the title.

I'll let you know after I go to Eastern Europe in September (Poland, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria plus Sweden - we're staying in the supposed 'no go area' of Stockholm - like I did 2 years ago - LOL). I was in Western Europe most of June (that's why I wasn't commenting in here). The crowds were huge. Even right on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice where the attack was last year. To be honest, it was miserable at times (but I had to do it then due to family concerns) and I'm pretty much done with Spain/France/Italy in June.

Generally, I find Eastern Europe (other than Prague) to be largely empty of tourists.

----

Part of the issue is that Europe is not stoooopid cheap now. Four star hotel in Central Manchester? 80 bucks a night. Two top shelf mixed drinks at a nice bar? 2 dollars (not each, but both). Hotel on the beach in Spain? 80 bucks a night, breakfast included. Airfare from Manchester to Venice? 79 bucks (including the 50 buck fee for the bag). Meanwhile, the US is relatively expensive for European tourists because of the exchange rate.

For the cost of 5 nights in a three star hotel on the beach in Miami, you can travel in style for 2 weeks in Europe.

Eastern Europe is frequently very inexpensive, but the 'hassle factor' can be large. Customer service is frequently Soviet Style.

Why not let us know now? After all, was it not a few weeks ago that you said you were going to Poland for business? Are you admitting you lied about that? If you lied about that, why should we believe you're making this alleged trip in September?

Guys, the act of travelling has a non-zero chance of getting killed by a terrorist. But its probably no more of a threat than being killed by some entitled moron with a firearm and a bad attitude in the USA.

My 90 year old neighbor always acts horrified when I tell her "I'll be going to X or Y next week". I always respond "I'm probably safer there than here - far fewer guns there".

We get it, you have capitulated and are politically cucked by radical islam.

Let's hear more about how tourism is up here despite literally Hitler's LGBT camps and travel ban. We were told by all the fake news outlets about the coming "Trump slump", yet industry experts are telling us how occupancy levels have never been higher.

Safe to say that the supply for outrage isn't meeting your demand?

It will be interesting to see how things hold up as time goes on. First quarter numbers represent a lot of plans made before Trump was inaugurated.

The Concentration Camps, for now, are in Russia.

nah, I'm just not a ***** like you. 10,365 people died in alcohol related crashes in 2015. so if I'm not scared to drive on a Saturday night, I'm really not scared of Europe.

cool. is that in a single country? If you want to stay home, stay home. I don't tell people what to do with their money. I just find it funny. Some people got run over on London Bridge. We have more shot out at Jacksonville Beach over a weekend.

I know a guy here in the cities that is a Muslim from the middle east, but guaranteed you wouldn't be able to pick him from a lineup of any five other random Minnesota white guys.

I bet we can pick out his wife.

I find it appalling that you as a female would continually defend this archaic religion that forces it's women to submit like slaves to their husbands and suppresses them in almost every facet of their lives.

I'm quite certain the only life you care about is your own. I sure hope you aren't married with children, they obviously mean less than nothing to you.
