This is one of those threads we Europeans bend over laughing when we read your posts! -IT'S FUNNY!!!

First all the fuzz about the simple thing of getting a passport. Now why shouldn't YOU have a passport? If you want to stay within the US borders the rest of your life, don't get a passport. If you want to travel, get a passport. It's that simple.

Well said!

The chip IS a security measure. The next time I renew my Norwegian passport there will be a chip in mine too. Not because Norwegian Government decided, but because YOUR GOVERNMENT decided there must be one to get into the USA. Now what is a passport good for if it isn't accepted in all countries? So chip it is... I'm not happy with being computer tracked every time I cross a border.

Actually our government wanted the chips, so convinced the UN to mandate them, so that we could say we are following the UN mandate. Politics is a weird world.

Now for the metric system. One thing I really, REALLY appreciate is that everything connects. Pressure, volume, weight, distances, temperatures...
-How was it with your system again? Oh, sorry. Not really a system is there?! :eyebrow:

Sure there is a system. Or 'systems.' We like systems, so much so that we have several, when one would do. :wink:

Who knew this was going to create so much interest in the LDS forum? Well, that's the last time I open my mouth (or keyboard). :D

I think a Mormon forum would be against the TOS...

No need for you to do that :wink:

There's 100 Cents in one Dollar. Is that really so difficult to grasp? I'm quite sure 90% of you would figure the metric system and even get used to it within a few weeks if you had to. -That is if you bother to try. Most Americans I've met didn't...

Harse words here now! Sorry if anyone feel I'm attacking. I'm not. In fact I used to live in the US, for a year at least. Graduated from high school there as well. Nathan Hale, Seattle, Class of '86. I loved it there! And I want to go back anytime, even with a chip in my new passport! :wink:

Take care and safe travelling everyone!

No, I don't feel like you're attacking us, however you might consider reducing your salt intake :wink:
 
Derek - nice job on getting some action in the Lake Effect Divers forum.

The easy fix for this problem is to sink 5 or 6 ships off Rochester and create a new National Lake Ontario SCUBA park. Then we add a few more Nuclear Power Stations to get the water temp up and I won't have to go out of the country to dive.

We get TAVI to set up a nice little charter operation and teach us all about penetrating wrecks and tri-mix.

This would also get the Canadians to come down on our new "Fast Ferry" and then they will be the only ones needing passports. :10:

Actually I'm surprised it has taken this long.

A truly visionary person could even warm up the entire US coast thusly. Then I could even wear my 3mm suit for scuba there. :)

Geez,

Do you guys know about all of the small nuclear plants in Ballston Spa/ Saratoga Springs area? You could really heat things up with all of the power generated up there.

I wish that I could join you guys on learning tri-mix. I need to do the dives for my normoxic course and that will be good for 200 ft. :) My instructor wants me to go down to Florida to take cave when I get a chance, but that isn't required for this course.

Thanks, I forgot that one! One of the things that surprised me during my stay - your worry about salt intake. -What you should be worried about is your sugar intake! :wink:
 
MoonWrasse:
Funny you should mention that - it happens to be one of my New Years pledges for this year :)
