It's the most outrageous thing I've ever heard of! For many years it was necessary for me and my countrymen to have a visa to travel to the U.S. whereas Americans could come to my country without one. This has been rectified. During the communist period foreign visitors to Yugoslavia payed more for rail tickets (for example) then the Yugoslavs. Strangely, in India, foreigners pay less (!) for rail tickets than Indian citizens. What is this madness, paying 10 dollars to come to the States? Is it like some sort of cover charge in case we don't spend enough money in the U.S.? Are they so on the verge of bankruptcy that they are begging for the "Good Ol' European Euro" to save them? Oh, these third world countries are pathetic! That does seem a little sad and pathetic, doesn't it? Everyone else has to pay for Bush's tax cuts for the rich, because no jobs were created as advised, and all of their money is tied up in offshore accounts. You gotta admit, we are about as entertaining as watching chickens run around with their heads cut off. Now I'm gonna go have a big heaping plate of heart stopping "freedom fries" from Belgian!

Dax Administrator Registered: 08/01/99 Loc: New York, NY (New York)	Hey folks, every country, or almost every country, has an entrance fee, or a visa fee. an exit fee, and in some cases an entry AND an exit fee. And most of them are much steeper than ten dollars. In countries both with and without fees, there are hotel taxes that almost always total above 15% of the bill. So to get heated about a lousy ten dollar entry fee, when you can't buy a vodka-tonic in Manhattan for less than nine, is just plucking something out of the air. And of course, those planning visits can show their displeasure by going to Canada instead, where the entry fee is concealed in the price of an airline ticket, so there's no telling how much it is. That'll show us!

Wow, Dax! Let's not let this ruin our friendship but this statemanet of yours is so wrong that I don't where to begin. Let me just say "wrong" and wait for your response. Before you do respond though I think it is fair to tell you that I have been to nearly 100 countries around the world so I do have some experience on the subject. _________________________ The greatest amusement is purposely and deliberately starting an argument in a manner which attacks others on a forum without in any way listening to the arguments proposed by them.

I have much more sympathy for Americans (they being fellow members of the human race) so let's say watching them "run around with their heads cut off" would be far less entertaining. _________________________ The greatest amusement is purposely and deliberately starting an argument in a manner which attacks others on a forum without in any way listening to the arguments proposed by them.
