I've only travelled to America once, and its the only place of all the places I've been to where I've been essentially interrogated in the departure lounge at Heathrow. I don't really recall what he was asking but I remember thinking it was very strange how rude and hostile he was being. It wasn't much better on the other side either to be honest. I haven't been back, and don't really have any intention of going to be honest.
- hkai 6y agoI think that's because America made quite a few enemies in the process of policing the world. Israel is much tougher on inbound travelers for the same reason. If America didn't police the world, China would, and we would still have Soviet Union, and probably Taiwan would not be on the map.
- Ar-Curunir 6y agothis is self-righteous “protectors of the world” nonsense
- hkai 6y agoWell you can think that way until you are the one they are protecting. Then it's nice having freedom of travel (thanks to the collapse of the USSR) or having the most progressive government in Asia (Taiwan). I'm really grateful to America for doing this.
