You're trying to tell me that ~32.7 million people haven't ventured out of their home state? Oh good, liberal driven Berkeley is keeping the sheep closest to home.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 To add: Last year, a grand total of 21.4 million passports were issued in the U.S., the highest number ever recorded. Putting that number into perspective, a mere 6.3 million were issued back in 1997. https://www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2018/01/11/the-share-of-americans-holding-a-passport-has-increased-dramatically-in-recent-years-infographic/#4cd85fc33c16 Where are these people going??

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Americans even enjoy visiting our Nook neighbors! (What now requires a passport to venture to) The statistics agency says the number of U.S. tourists rose 3.1 per cent in 2017 to reach 14.3 million, the highest figure since 2005, and there were also a record 6.5 million visitors from overseas countries, up 7.2 per cent from 2016. https://globalnews.ca/news/4036090/canada-tourism-record-2017/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realize 21.4M of 330M people is 6% of the population, right? Thanks for making my point for me... And I’m not sure what you are trying to prove with your Berkeley stat... That most people who go to a state school are from in state? Not really riveting info.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 35.7 Million Americans have been issued passports in the past 2 years. Berkeley was the only university in California to enroll an excess of IN State students. I don't think you understand the math? 2 minutes ago, xtralettucetomatoe580 said: “The highest number ever”? Yeah ok... Noted. But if the highest number ever is 6% of the population a year getting a passport, that’s loose butthole weak. Roughly 10 percent of the population, and that's just in the past couple years. Do you not think others previously having a passport stopped traveling?

I was responding to your bullshit "statistical post". Cali schools have quotas for Cali residents. Is that taken into account? Why is it surprising that the majority of state school students are from that state? As far as people traveling abroad, do we really consider those traveling to Canada and Mexico going abroad? Because the vast majority of that 10% is going there. How many previous passport holders had their passports expire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you take away from it is up to you. Statistics are fairly clear. Americans are at the near bottom of the list for international travel among first world countries. The reason is actually quite obvious. It’s the main reason the US is a huge destination for people from other countries. America is super diverse and pretty much has it all. A cultural Mecca. Highly developed highway system with several major air travel hubs throughout the country. And for the most part filled with friendly people.

Zambroski Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Spinner took a fucking cruise that docked in a tourist trap somewhere and now he’s the leading (and “woke”)travel and world affairs expert! LOL, BarbieHands just laughs at him because he’s done a cruise AND sat with a bunch of blue hairs on a tour bus that drove around Paris. Better get with it, Spinner.
