So...is it a good idea to go to Europe now?

BC · December 11, 2015, 04:51:11 AM

Not letting a family death change how think of the trip, but I can't say I'm not nervous about it.

As some of you know I'm going to France and England, and as a result of recent events I'm getting a little nervous as it pulls closer and closer.

For those of you in England, and well all of you really, do you think I should cancel my trip?

I get some of you want to troll and say I should go out of hopes that something does happen, but I'm actually asking an honest question. I know security is a lot tighter now, but...I don't know

It truly is a shame that it's reasonable of you to ask this

Jono · December 11, 2015, 05:15:54 AM

Go ahead and go. Don't be afraid that anything bad will happen. That's what the terrorists want.

In my opinion, no, its not worth the risk, you being a tourist means you have a higher risk going to hot spots.

BUT, its your trip.

London? Down here in the south, its the same old, calm and boring areas. I mean, England is a better idea than France right now, but London could be risky. But nothing bad is happening here if that's what you're asking.

Statistically speaking, you're still more likely to be shot, assaulted, burglarised, suffer from food poisoning, bombed, run over by a vehicle, raped (and contract an STD) and murdered in the US than pretty much anywhere in Western Europe. I know that the US news reporting on this has been awful and borderline incorrect, but things are fine here.

What have they been saying?

Go.

But before you do that, ask your parents to send your portion of their will to me.

But In all seriousness, I'd wait until we hear more about that possible terrorist cell in Birmingham.

Going by what my girlfriend's family and my own acquaintances have been saying? That Europe is a warzone on lockdown with terrorists behind every corner.

Well that's a little absurd.

I also gave notice to the embassy in case. Most likely I'm going, it's just I'm nervous. It's good to hear things are atleast fine in London, I won't be straying far, only to Old Trafford and back.

I'm 99% sure you will be fine. It's London

Risay117 · December 11, 2015, 08:04:52 AM

Honestly go. You can stay scared and hide under your mommy's basement all your life and never see the world or actually experience shit you will never see in your life. And honestly you will miss out on a lot.

Personally for me wherever you are you have a chance of being killed. Just be smart about what you are doing. Plus you are missing out on huge amounts of experience. Forget tourist spots, book a hostel and meet some new and random people. He'll that is how I have met a pilot, a Vietnam war veteran, a businessman with some serious connections. And also made some really great new friends.

Get off the main trail and see what is on the side and you will find things more awesome than the Eiffel tower.

The only reason to ever go to Europe is to kill nazis

me and Gatsby are already waiting at the airport.

I'll hold BC like the good progressive I am and Gatsby aka Achmed-Muhammed will have his way with BC. Then we'll take BC to old trafford where Gatsby will suicide bomb him.
