Travel advisories are a common occurrence during these uncertain times…
They’re usually issued by the U.S. State Department and deal with our safety when traveling to certain war-torn or disease ravaged areas around the globe.
But times are a changin’……
It’s now countries like Great Britain, New Zealand, France, Germany and Canada that are worrying. And they’re just a few of many foreign partner nations urging caution to their U.S.-bound travelers!
The reasoning for the warnings are numerous with listings of mass shootings, police violence, high crime metro areas, anti-Muslim and anti-LGBT attitudes—not to mention the domestic outbreak of the Zika virus.
Another big deterrent is the gun violence in our country.
It’s a major turnoff to foreigners who just don’t get the lax attitudes of gun control in the U.S.—or lack thereof.
Let’s do some comparisons.
Here are recent homicide death stats per 100,000 persons in a select number of modern nations:
Canada————-1.5
United Kingdom—1.1
Ireland————–1.1
Australia———–1.1
France————–1.5
Greece————–1.7
Spain—————0.8
Germany———–0.8
Saudi Arabia——0.8
Israel—————1.9
Switzerland——-0.7
United States—–5.2 (We’re # 1, we’re # 1…..)
What do these travel warnings mean to the U.S.?
Make no mistake, foreign tourism to the United States is lucrative. The World Travel + Tourist Council says that 77 million travelers visited here last year.
The State Department claims these visits contributed $218 billion to our economy.
That’s a good chunk of change.
“For your own safety please stay away from any ongoing or planned demonstrations and protests in cities around the United States….please be aware of immediate surroundings and avoid crowded places when possible,” warns the UAE Embassy.
Britain’s Foreign Office issued this specific advice to LGBT travelers heading to our shores: “The U.S. is an extremely diverse society and attitudes towards LGBT people differ hugely across the country.”
Finally Germany warns its USA bound citizens that, “It’s relatively easy to obtain a firearm in the U.S. If you find yourself the victim of a gun attack, do not try to resist.”
Touche…
Despite all the international angst shown by foreign governments, “The United States remains a first-rate tourist destination,” says a State Department spokesperson.
The entirety of Europe is on the brink, within the next decade from civil war. Angela Merkel, who just 2 short years ago, proclaimed “Multiculturalism” a failure, has now imported over 2 million Muslim Refugees, most of which are men between the ages of 15 and 40, over 3/4 of which no one can locate. Her ruinous, ethnomasochistic hatred for her own citizens and culture and the citizens and culture of Europe, has destroyed the EU and sent England scrambling for the door.
Germany’s contribution to Hollywood and the left can’t be underestimated. The incessant, never ending tsunami of Nazi films, Nazi Documentaries and the overt and covert transubstantiation of Nazi sins, dog whistled onto the white middle class in America keeps us all shamed into silence during Progressive Insanities that allow your creepy Uncle Bill to pizz in a urinal next to someone’s three year old daughter at Target, while the TV’s in the Electronics Department are playing either the DNC Convention, where Michael Brown’s mother is being honored, or a ‘peaceful’ Black Lives Matter protest where our new heroes, emulating Michael Brown, shoot and kill cops in real time.
Any Germans with any sense, will fly over here and buy some fu*kin guns post haste.
The irony of ANY Muslim country, filled with pederast, catamite creating, camel humping-stone-my-wife-kill-my-sister-toss-a-fa9-off-of-a-roof-cut-off-her-cl*t sh*theels wearing KKK bed sheets out in public, telling their citizens to be careful in America, should also, not be underestimated.
This year in London, the mayor banned pictures of women in public that he, HE deemed inappropriate. I think Great Britain has plenty to worry about besides American Gun Sales.
There are urinals in women’s restrooms at Target? I haven’t kept up with the latest transgender nonsense, but why can’t the men-who-feel-like-women-today pee in a normal toilet? It seems rude to make Target spend all that money on new urinals.
Not to mention the creepy parent that let’s their 3-year old stand next to one alone. Weird.
“On Sunday, a Fort Worth, Texas judge blocked President Barack Obama’s transgender edict issued in April through the Departments of Justice and Education, that mandated all public schools to open their locker-room and bathroom facilities to students’ “gender identity” as opposed to their biological sex at the threat of revoked funding and lawsuits for noncompliance.”
This isn’t just “Fundamental Change” this is Fundamentally Psychotic.
Target, according to some sources, has suffered some financial setbacks due to it’s support of laws which allow men into women’s restrooms. I know, I have refused to set foot into a Target Store since they took the lead on this latest Progressive insanity.
So you’re telling me that a guy can use the girl’s locker room if he “identifies as a female” that day? I wonder how many teenage boys were planning on wearing dresses the first day of school…
What can I say?
It is what it is.
I guess if they are worried about our lax gun laws they can go someplace safe like Iraq, Somalia or I have heard that North Korea is very lovely this time of year. Anyone that thinks that the US is the wild west is an idiot that watches way to much CNN.
Iraq, Somalia or North Korea, Jess? This is a story about the wild west of the civilized world not some third or fourth world country!!!!!!!!!
3rd world? From the story I thought the US was in that same category. I mean it did say:
“For your own safety please stay away from any ongoing or planned demonstrations and protests in cities around the United States….please be aware of immediate surroundings and avoid crowded places when possible,” warns the UAE Embassy.
Sounds to me that you are taking your life in your own hands just landing at the airport in the US.
Or, being a conservative at a Trump event
Open season.
I couldn’t help but notice how angry the comments are that follow this excellent article on homicide rates. Unless I miss my guess, it is articles in the media and other online sources that spur the anger of these people. While it may be true that the media reports on actual events, it is also true that these events are rare. However, people tend to connect one article with another and then another and another until they come to believe the world, the country, their community, or even their backyard patio is in a state of crisis. It is further evidence at how easily people can be manipulated by the media and Internet sources.
Well, stay away from “gun-free” zones, at least. Mass shooters love those.
