He probably wants to drink a real beer.

Mmm, yeah, Molson Smiley: rolleyes (I happen to be drinking Yuengling)

When we moved up here to the north country, my girlfriend and I both needed to get our birth certificates copied since we'll eventually be going to Canadia as a crossing is about 10 miles away. We knew that we'll need to get our passports in a year or so anyways.

Depends on the custom guard you get. I gone from Canada to the states hundreds of times, sometimes they want photo ID sometimes, passports sometimes, they just wave me through without even a question.

I've had Labatt before...I sure wasn't impressed. I like my go to beer bud light, while if I have the money I've mixed it up with Sam Adams before. Then again sometimes I drink natural light >.>
College is fun.

But yeah, we are going on cause a friend of ours is turning 19 and so we figured hit the Casinos and drink.

I also hear strippers in canada have much less "rules" for thier conduct in canada.

You could at least splurge on a some High Life. Bud Light tastes closer to **** than beer.

Yes Canadians with guns! But dont worry, with a cup in one hand and a donut in the other they likely wont be able to draw quickly.

(that and the program to train them and arm them will be completed in 5-6 years)

So go ahead! Come on in! We have guns too now!

(were cool right? right? Bush told Harper we would be cool if we did it...)


Wait I thought all the canuks had to carry high powered sniper rifles to fend off the horribly rabid Caibou-beasties...

I just got a passport for the first time because I'm traveling to Europe this summer. It cost nearly $100 and takes up to 6 weeks to get.


US Passports are also valid for ten years; the price isn't steep once amortized.

Passports act as immediate proof of citizenship. You can use them at the DMV while renewing your license, you can use them at new jobs when you're filling out your proof of citizenship, and they act as a sort of penultimate identification.

Plus they let you get out of the country and see more of the world than CNN shows you.


They're worth the cost.

Hehe. Nobby. Imagine that all of Europe was one country. With no national boundaries or borders and no need for a passport to travel between them. How many people living in Europe would have one?

Within continental Europe the borders are artificial. I only need to show my passport when I pass the UK/French (or spanish or dutch) coast. I can cross a dozen or more borders and only have to show the thing on my return to the Mother Ship.

Most Brits get passports as soon as we can because they last 10 years, and we may be needed anywhere in the world at a moment's notice Smiley: wink

On a serious note, If all I was thinking about was my immediate environs, I'd probably not bother.

But American's don't seem to make plans in case they can visit Africa, Asia, Europe.

FFS Your post confirms stereotypical views the world has of the USA :- A normal Ameh'cun stays in Ameh'cuh. A globetrotter might stray into Canaduh or Mecksicow. Smiley: oyvey

Oh, and DarqFlame - If you do get to Europe - Come to England. Sit in my lap and tell me the first thing that comes up. Smiley: sly

Yeah, well... When you live in the US, you don't *need* to travel to another country... ;)

And exactly what percentage of UK citizens travel regularly to Asia and Africa Nobby? Probably no higher then the percentage of people in the US who do. You just *think* you're more worldly because you've got more of the "world" nearby. Doesn't make it so.

That's just crazy. I'd say it's probably about 20 times higher.

Getting a passport is part of overseas trip preparation. Most people I know don't bother until then.

Speaking as a "normal Ameh'cun", I generally stay in Ameh'cuh because I can't afford overseas travel, no other reason. Ahh, the paycheck to paycheck life is grand. If I'm fortunate, some day I'll need a passport. Actually, the next time I'm planning to cross even the Canadian border I'll probably get one, just to be safe.

In regards to the original question, I always thought my driver's license was all the proof of citizenship I really needed, until I got stopped at the Canadian border and chastized by the border patrol. I flashed them my Batman wallet and said "I'm here only to do good, ma'am." Luckily the person had a sense of humor and chuckled and sent us on our way. This was a few years ago, when people were still all touchy about Sept. 11th.

I'd say at least 83% of statistics are totally made up!

According to the State Department statistics, they've issued 72 million US passports over the last 10 years. That's about one out of every 4 US citizens. Just saying...

Most americans frankly don't need passports, ***** brits can take like undersea trains to france (not that I understand why people would want to) but in america, well our country is ******* huge.

Ohio is different then Texas, Texas is different then Utah, Utah is different then Florida, Florida is different then Maine. The only two countries that we boarder, appearently we don't even need passports to get into.

I have a social card, a driver licence, a birth certificut, a band card, why do I need a passport to travel in the US, in which I don't pass thru a single port?
