      @Trevon Womack I agree it is not only people who have been to a given country that know about it. I was only trying to say that people with more access that live closer would have a stronger shot of knowing more. I have never been to Japan for example but am interested in the culture. Not an expert but have learned some and might be able to answer some questions.

    I'm a bit late to the game but many Americans don't have passports because we can visit so many different types of places without one. The US is one of the unique places in the world that has deserts, mountains, forests, swamps, tropical islands as well as areas to skii, surf, relax on a beach or visit amusement parks. Not to mention the gambling/vices of Vegas. All without the need to go through customs or exchange currency. With that being said, I do have a passport because traveling internationally is great (and makes a great backup ID if something happens to my drivers license).

    You used to not need a passport to go from the US to Canada and vice versa - I went a few times in high school and college and all we needed was a driver's license. That was back in the 80's and early 90's though - I know now you need something provided at the federal level like a passport or passport card, but that may explain why some Americans don't have a passport. That and the fact that we have such a huge variety of landscape, culture, and history here that some don't feel a need to travel outside the country (although I disagree with this and love to travel to other countries, I think that is definitely a factor in many people's thinking).

We also have the option of going to full francophone schools, when everything is taught in french, with english classes taught as well. Hope this helps.

    Guys I love your faces and videos but please dont try to explain the whole separatist movement in 2 sentences :) It is obviously more complicated than that. Speaking from a French Canadian that dont agree with the idea of separation but still wish history to be told properly. You guys are always quite chill on your comments about french Canada so i assume that is just a bit of lack of knowledge :)

    It's _kind of_ like Puerto Rico; they voted not to become a US state so they didn't have to pay taxes yet wanted to benefits of being US citizens.

      Yeah our previous videos from al have been briefly blocked before. We are in the process of trying to get it approved. Fingers crossed. If you got another request I’ll take a look and see if we can do that.

      @WolfCrow93 I hear you. I grew up in VA, NC, and MD. I live in New Hampshire now. Definitely a better educational system in the Northeast.
