YES! I am from the UK and from over here, the US seems terrifying...from the guns, to the poison in the food, to the racism. God forbid I go there and need any medical attention. I'm even scared of thier police.
Yes, I am Norwegian, with some family living in USA. I don't want to go to US, because I know it is a really violent country. In Norway, we have lot of guns, we are second to USA in the world - when it comes to guns per capita..... But it is almost no homocide in Noreay. All streets in the capital are safe to walk in the night, school shooting never happen here. Yes we had 1 terrorist, a right wing Breivik. But he is the only one.
one of the reasons for me is the quality of the food. It's practically poison
I am Spanish and sorry I will never go there. My dads friend went to NY a week broken an ankle and ended up in a nightmare with the travel insurance.
I have the whole world to go with healthcare and no people with guns everywhere.
Almost nobody here hates the USA, we're just extremely disappointed.
Because Americans live in a bubble that does not know what is going on around the world, it consumes its self to them vs us , vs democrats vs Republicans .
This!
To answer your question. Unfortunately, i was never interested in traveling to the USA. Because i learned about this country early. I just made some research and found out that my country (France) was the 5th provider of tourists in the USA in 2022. I honestly don't understand why anyone would want to go there, but to each their own. Did guns have an impact on my disinterest ? Definitely. My dad had plenty of guns, including sniper rifles and hand canons. But guns were never a topic of conversation, and i hardly ever even saw them. The problem lies in this difference in mindsets. Americans are much too casual with them. Irresponsible, even. This is an important ingredient in a mix that really makes the USA lack... glamour. Or refinement, subtlety, or more simply: good sense. Beyond the danger of guns, there are many things that really convey a very poor image of this country. And the way guns are regarded and handled by the people certainly is an important one. They call it "gun culture" but it is no culture, the word is used to give some undeserved legitimacy to guns. It doesn't make me want to meet with americans. What is more, you never know who may carry a gun if laws and mindsets are this lax. It is not attractive overall, and it becomes repulsive instead.
For the record, i know one person who went to the USA on vacations: my doctor. He hated it. When i asked why, i said simply: "They are all rude and stupid, i regret wasting my vacations there".
as someone who comes from a culture with hunting and fire arms ownership around me(hunting shotguns that hold up to 2 shells) (two uncles, a cousin are hunters) and me having fired the shotgun back when I was like 10~12,
I still find the lack of protection laws in the US insane and certainly scary
to have a fire arm here for hunting, you need a license(which requires lessons, mental health check, and background check), and also you need to have a place to store safely, away from kids. my cousin for example has a small child, and he has his shotguns locked in a special box on the wall, with the lock being high up that the child can't reach, and of course he keeps the key on him, and nowhere the child can find it.
there are cases of people murdering other people here, using those hunting shotguns, but we are talking very low numbers, like 2~5 per year. mass shooting? non. and if someone is caught having a fire arm without a license they get charged
Gun culture? I call it gun insanity! 😢
Finn here, I’ve been to the US four times, last time in 2016, was nice each time.
Probably won’t go again in the near future with all the crazy things that have happened / are happening since then.
Well, considering drug usage, homelessness and guns it would be very unpleasant to roam around. And I like walking which is not a thing in the US.
This is a very one dimensional view on the US. I'm a German who's been to 35 states and there is everything in US.
On Sanibel Island in Florida we had a little hotel where no staff was present during check-in. You could just walk into the office and call a number from a phone on the desk. The owner would answer to tell you to take the key to a room out of a little box on the desk and pay the next morning. And then a few hours away there is Miami with 3 locks and steel bar across the hotel room door..
Also there is a huge hiking community around legendary trails like the Pacific Crest Trail and obviously there are the spectacular national parks and their wide variety of hiking and camping in nature.
You may never forget that only bad things get into the news.
Overall my experience in the US was always fantastic. That's why I went 10 times.
Sure it is. Everywhere in the world there are georgious places and people and communities. I still don't feel the desire to travel to the US.
As a german, I can say for myself, it´s not the amount of guns in the US, it´s the lack of respect for human life.
It´s not only guns, it´s the general disrepect of human life in the US AND around the world.
Killing people for dirsrespecting you, that´s mostly unheared of, exept for the fundamentalist ismamic countries,where murders to defend your honor are a thing, and the US.
On many topics the US are way lower than world standards.
In the US it´s "disrespect", how is this different from honor killings in the middle east?
Wearing a hoodie is a death sentence in some parts of the US, this is unprecedented in the world.
Overall, the US is not an inch better than the countries ruled by the IS and other islamistic extremist world views.
There´s only one difference: It´s not the islam, it´s chritianity.
Same religious origin, same sh*t, different symbols.
All mosaic religions are, as of now, the scourge of humanity today.
Religion is a drug. The world woud be a better place, without religions and without drugs.
Not perfect, but way better!
French here, I used to want to live in the US, now there is no way you're gonna get me to live there, and I would still love to visit but I am indeed a bit worried about everything that's going on, I warn family members when they were going and I thought about it a bit when I went there myself, even back in 2017
I am laughing at the thought that Canada is telling the rest of the world to becareful vistingAmerica that country is messed up 🤣🤣🤣
Portuguese here. I would NEVER put myself in the US. I came drom one of the most safe country in the world and i really love to stay alive.
I rely on medication that I couldn’t afford in the US and my insurance only covers emergencies there. So I stay away from that place 😱
As a kid I dreamed of living in the US, then, when I grew a little older, I decided it would be better just to visit. As an adult, I don't even want to visit the US anymore, for several reasons, and mass shootings is at the top of the list.
And the food, I am Portuguese part German and even a petisco (something like a tapa) in the corner shop cafe is better than some manufactured or "fusion" stuff you folks eat and pay triple for.
Yes. I am scared of visiting the US...
There's an EXTREME difference, between "mass shootings" and "mass killings".. That is why the number she is reporting is that low.
I've been to Switzerland when there is international skiing and sure some of the police have rifles, but they are in the background, you barely notice them, if something were to happen you would see them very quickly and many other officers too, but the police there in everyday life carry but you don't notice, it's rare to see police because they aren't generally needed, as for the public carrying weapons (many have them) you just don't have that, no one in Switzerland is scared because it is policed so well, there is no need to fear others, the mentality of the people is very different to the US.
I think another big topic should be about why specifically in the US this is an issue, when Switzerland, you mentioned Finland or even Canada have similar high number of guns in the population, but nobody is using them to kill people and mass shooting are virtually non existant
Hey, Swiss guy here. It’s a little different. You can’t walk into a supermarket and randomly buy ammo for starters, the majority of guns are property of the Swiss Army, registered and will have to be returned, if you want to own a firearm for hunting etc. and use it outside a registered shooting range, the background checks and acquisitions are complicated and strictly controlled. Check the Daily Show’s videos on this, they broke it down very well.
AMERICA ITS A MIND SET I HEARD SOMEONE SAID IF SOMEONE ONE DID THIS OR THAT ID JUST SHOOT WHY ? CANT YOU TALK AND DRBATE
@@MFUA-cam683 But that's exactly the point. It's not the gun, it's the law around the gun and how people go around this topic.
@@Alltagundso no. The differences are not just legislation. First and foremost, there is a massive cultural difference, gun culture in the US is mental. The constitutional amendments should be rewritten, the monopoly of violence should be with the state. That isn’t going to happen. Americans are indoctrinated with a version of their history and the concept of American Exceptionalism to a degree that is simply laughable to any high schooler in Western Europe. Yes, America has a glorious history and it was a great country but it is also quite dark even recently and fundamentally flawed.
Firearm Legislation is one of the political issues for which legislative reform is predestined to fail for the foreseeable future because of what US patriotism and its culture truly are in their essence.
But the system behind it (NRA, lobbyists, the money needed to make onto Capitol Hill) is broken beyond repair, that will need fixing first. The two-party system would have to go to add political diversity and nuance and detangle the political infrastructure like presidential elections from the two-party grip. Strengthen the democratic institutions and reorganize separation of powers cleaner. The ideas behind all this were great, but the establishment has learned to play the ultimate and most obscene, greedy version of it on Capitol Hill. It corrupts the purest idealists like AOC, whom I disagree with fundamentally but respect tremendously. Her unpolluted and grassroots-elected shiny facade is showing major scratches after a few years in congress. It will get worse. 10 years from now, she will be a smug, super wealthy party functionary like we’re seeing moving up through the ranks time and again. They join the pack and feast on the all you can eat till they’ve amassed enough to found a charity in their name for themselves and their interests, holding fundraisers to have their peers blow sugar up their asses for a night and bow to the world with fake humility, pretending to be RBG when really they’re as corrupted and greedy as any hedge fund fox on Wall Str.
This dance is set in stone. Boromir will tell you, that one doesn’t simply change gun rights in the US. That is all. I know they tried, but when I saw Emma Gonzales on that stage and the Washington Mall packed with citizens I could feel it in my heart, that it wouldn’t be enough. The shootings keep happening, Matthew McConaughey angry-cries on TV, Meghan Markle flies in, yadda yadda, nobody believes in change anymore. It might be the law at first glance but if you look at Switzerland’s gun law, high capacity magazines and weapons like AR15s are illegal or strictly regulated. There is mandatory training, inspections at which you have to present some firearms every five years and prove that you’re a practicing member of a shooting range / shooting club. There is a different culture here permeating politics, society, our institutions and most of all education that is a little less self-aggrandizing but rooted in common sense, practicality, solidarity and trust. The US has established a circle jerk of self-congratulating talking points, that are a cheap mask for a nation of greed, materialism, grotesque superlatives marketed in an endless campaign as _the greatest_ when really in broad sunlight you see the egoism and disregard for others that rule its minds and the complete lack of virtues and principles. The grand hymns everybody sings in the midst of a decaying, rotten memory, overlain by the stench of comeuppance in the drug-infested streets with dystopian armies of homeless drug-addicts and out-priced residents competing with hordes of illegal migrants for the scraps of shuttered businesses and broken American dreams.
And honestly, that is a very disgusting truth about the soul of America. Land of the fee. Home of the slave.
@@MFUA-cam683 Okay, before I finish reading: of course a law can only be implemented if the politics and culture around changes.
But what I meant, was, .IF it was possible to change the laws, the culture around it would change as well. Of course it won't happen, 😔 I'm aware of that.
Wouldn’t visit the US not because of gun crime, but because of Trump supporters🇬🇧
Yes, that's too much...
My sons (late 20s, single, well-educated) and their friends are prime candidates the USA tourism people want to attract - and none of them want to go. Some are put off by the gun culture; others by Qanon, Trump and similar crazies; two travelled to the USA with work and couldn't get back to the UK fast enough. Their girlfriends are similarly put off, particularly by the politics, the rabid pro-lifers and the cost of health cover if they take out travel insurance.
Last year I went to California to help my British brother-in-law, who'd lived there for 26 years and had thought to end his days there, pack up to return here. Having visited a few times previously I was appalled at the shanty towns of homeless, the drug-addled wandering the streets, above all the over-whelming sense of menace on the streets - it felt like a third-world country. We packed him up in record time and got out ASAP - he literally wept with relief when we landed at London Heathrow. He'd left a wonderful house, sold at a loss, and a large circle of friends, but couldn't bear to stay.
I will never go back to the USA, and I can't think of any of my generation, or my sons' age group, who have any wish to go there.
I looked at statistics just earlier. In 2022, the UK was the 3rd provider of tourists to the USA, behind Mexico and Canada, its 2 bordering countries. Despite that, i can relate with what you say. My own country is the 5th provider (France), and i am puzzled as to why it is even the case. I can't understand who in their right mind would want to go to the USA, for any reason. Just thinking that i would have to eat their poisonous "food" is enough for me to stay away. And this is without even starting to list my numerous pet peeves with this place.
Icelander here most people I know are now reluctant to visit the US because of the gun problems.
Sounds like Noah Pransky is on the NRA payroll by the way he talks about guns.🤨
I used to live in the US and my dad and step family lives in the US (dad married a US citizen) I lived there in the first half of the 90's in a suburb of Tacoma.
A month before I started high school (I started in January) a man had gone on a rampage inside the school, thankfully nobody was harmed. Seeing the bullet holes made me on edge the entire semester, I was scared that would happen again. Thankfully it never did, we did have a couple of bomb threats and students set fires inside the school.
I worry about my US family all the time.
I'm sure I've read stats where the US is something like 129 position in safety whereas EU countries overall dominant the top 10 with some coming in the top 20's, and if I recall, almost all developed countries are far higher than the US.
If it is 129 position, that's really poor considering there are only around 200 countries around the world and a modern country shouldn't be anything like that.
There's a reason why many people say the US is a first, second and third world country all rolled into one, because it's got a lot of the elements of the 3, which suggest the US is doing a lot wrong in many areas and probably because the US doesn't seem to want to learn from other modern countries that are doing things right and end up doing their own things which are not doing Americans any favours.
According to the Global Peace Index (163 countries), the USA ranks 131 behind South Africa at 130, and ahead of Brazil at 132.🤔
100 or 200 times more gun violence... nooooo, not a big problem. Is this guy serious?
I have been to Canada dozens of times because part of my family lives there. But the USA? Why? I'm not interested in the slightest. I see the mass shootings as a strange habit, like voodoo or canibalism on other parts of the world. Curious, but none of my business. And it certainly doesn't help to raise my desire to visit from the current "zero" to a higher number.
iv been to the usa once, that was enough...
nah! usa is not one of the safest countries in the world. not even close
i wouldn't go to the US, people carrying guns is one of the reasons, alcohol is strong in my culture so i would likely meet drunk people and alcohol and guns don't do well together, some other reasons are that people working in tourism area apear to friendly to be honest, i'm a bit scared of food poisonning, of the cops too, the taxes not being included in prices, etc... but i think the nature there is beautiful, i see the US as a garden of eden wasted by the greediest of mankind
I am not scared, but I am only interested in nature, so I might as well go to a cheaper country with lovely landscapes. 😅😊😊
i am in UK will never go to USA because of Guns, food (its poison) and the healthcare situation
Its not sooo bad as long as Mexico isn't building a wall to hold back all the USAsian emigrants that flee into their country 😂 If that however happens, and maybe even Ronald McDonald emigrates to Mexico, THEN you have a problem🤣
And for the downplaying of guns .. doesn't it already starts in the moment you call it gun "culture" ? As if its just something great and poitive like maybe art or music .. just totaly harmless and fine.
Asides from my political gripes with the US, for their actions everywhere, I'd love to go there and meet the people.
But no way I'm going to a country with more people than gun and such a terrifying police force. Also fix your TSA checks please
(I'm no addressing you personnally I realize this might sound a lil aggro)
He said it him self. "going into Walmart and buy without a background check". I don'1 know about you. But I have meet guys that should never have a gun. And much less semi automatic one.
For the time being I would not visit the US.
....and who is going to fly there if they are offered a Boeing for the flight............
Not me, for sure.
The USA is definitely NOT somewhere I have any interest in visiting.
It appears that it is sinking into anarchy.
It's politics, gun laws, food, health care and lunacy levels are reaching epically stupid levels.
The World has way more interesting (historically), beautiful (geographically and people), economical (cost of living and travel) and SAFER than the US - No matter what the TV adverts/programmes/films/news tells us.
The Americans can 'Tell' everyone that it's the greatest country on earth. That the American dream is the best dream anyone can have.... but even a shallow dive into that will show it to be the grossest lie ever.
I'm a Brit. I have very many American friends. I've served alongside it's military.
There are many countries that are worse:
Russia, Iran, North Korea, South Africa to name a few. But they've pretty much been that way forever....
The US is sliding down the slippery slopes of Ignorance, Ridiculousness, Naivety and Arrogance.... all in the name of what?... Freedom?....
For a while, it was thought to be a shame. One of those bad 'phases' that crop up from time to time. Then it was annoying that supposed intelligent people could allow this to happen. Then it became embarrassing to watch, and now? It's just pathetic to watch.
I wish America well. I really do. But get your house in order.
Right now I have no interest in going there. My kids and grandkids have no interest in going there. In fact, I don't know anyone who is going to travel there...
The US has become one big mess.
Fortunately for us Brits the US is a long distance and expensive country to get to. We can get to anywhere in Europe cheaper. But more importantly, we know there's only the slightest (almost negligible) chance of getting shot!!!
May common sense and intelligence return to the US.
the gun violence is the main reason i don't want to go to usa. It dropped very far down my list of places to go.
I already decided that long time ago. starting in 2001 2002. it only got worse and worse. i don't even consider usa to be a 1st world country. it's a 2nd world country with 1st world money and 3rd world social security. sorry, not sorry, it's just a shit show over there.
I definitely do not hate the US, I just feel sorry for the people, slaves of companies, 60 hour work the list is long
TIP:
As long as You tell the world the US is the best country in the world, please do not complain that people want to come to the US
The people of Iceland did it right, they have a very good climate but the name Iceland repels the immigrants
Is the pope catholic?
Yes
@@-_YouMayFind_-Thank you
"Educated people with studies" calling their country America on TV! pffff.........your country have a name and isnt Amercia.
