Your post cherry picks one line from a 3500 word essay which makes your post a disaster area. I discussed several nationalities of native speakers of English yet all you read was a single line to misjudge the whole of the work.I guess it’s cool to stereotype the inhabitants of entire nations as long as they have funny accents?
Uhhh, you cast generalities at Australians, Brits and Canadians, like the personal interactions you’ve had with them reflect their entire nations.Your post cherry picks one line from a 3500 word essay which makes your post a disaster area.

You can try this again later of course toward a better quality of post.
Yeah, at one point I had to go to the US Embassy in Bangkok to get pages added to my passport. It's a lousy joke ha but I'm going to say it anyway, that I had more stamps than the Manhattan post office.Yes.
Funny story, I flew into Seattle in April of 2023 to meet two of my friends, one of whom lives there, so we could drive up to Whistler to ski. We got to the border high off our asses, but we threw the vape out, and my buddy got denied because of a drug charge he got in college.
While waiting, the customs guy was flipping through my passport and was surprised at some of the places I've been. Working for Shell has sent me to Russia(before 2022 obviously), Oman, The UAE, and Turkey, and I got questioned about it.
I'm sad that stamps are becoming less common too. I like receiving them.
Not currently, as I do have a Real ID, and I have no plans of travelling abroad in the near future, I do not need one. Though early next month, any American without a real ID will need a passport even to fly domestically.Yes or no question. If you are not an American citizen please say so in the comments after answering.
And fly domestically.In the US if you don't have REAL ID, you'll need to have a passport to enter a federal courthouse.
I just applied for the Real ID today. Already have a passport but it doesn't hurt to have both.Not currently, as I do have a Real ID, and I have no plans of travelling abroad in the near future, I do not need one.

I said working and interacting with foreign expat nationals abroad -- specifically. Which makes your posts off center. Yous posts are not threading the eye of any needle.Uhhh, you cast generalities at Australians, Brits and Canadians, like the personal interactions you’ve had with them reflect their entire nations.
Just pointing that out.
We have funny accents here. The Brooklyn accent is hilarious.I guess it’s cool to stereotype the inhabitants of entire nations as long as they have funny accents?
I have had a real ID for about 8 years, before the rush. If I suddenly have a desire to visit Australia or New Zealand, I will get a passport. Have not travelled abroad since Europe in the 1970s.I just applied for the Real ID today. Already have a passport but it doesn't hurt to have both.
I’m just saying- I know plenty of great Australians, Canadians, and Englishmen. And Americans. Have worked with them all, some very closely.I said working and interacting with foreign expat nationals abroad -- specifically. Which makes your posts off center.

Right off almost all the Australians stereotyped we Americans as every bad notion and prejudice they have concocted of America and Americans. And believe me all but a few Australians I had the misfortune of interacting with hated America and Americans. And they loved hating us -- it was their vocation. None of 'em were interested in we Americans at the school as individuals or as anything but The Ugly and Ignorant American these Aussies needed to create. This is stereotyping the individual people you are with.
Your critique and criticism of my post is overdone carping and is overplayed. I posted specifically about foreign expat nationals I interacted with. Your overdone posts however are your own concoction as if you were one of 'em at the school where I worked. The wrong national in this beef is the American. You take their side indeed.
Uhhh, you cast generalities at Australians, Brits and Canadians, like the personal interactions you’ve had with them reflect their entire nations.

A swarm of 'em -- the bilingual school has more than 100 foreign teachers. A couple of dozen were Australians; I was there 6 years to include staff turnover with new ones. I'm the one with the facts and the everyday experience of it.I’m just saying- I know plenty of great Australians, Canadians, and Englishmen. And Americans.

A few not so great ones too.
But stereotyping the entire nation is just a bit bizarre to me, as is not visiting a country because you didn’t like a couple guys from there.

Which makes your posts with blinders Holier Than Thou.
Which is unfortunate indeed. I posted I would never visit Australia, I did not post that all Australians are asshats.
I cannot change he who is holy and in fact holier than thou. Self appointed of course. Being superior and all that.
Thinking you know what I'm posting about and that you are in the right and I am wrong. Indeed, your posts are presumptuous and overbearing. Unwelcome if you really need to know which you do need to know. Because your posts presume to know more than I know about my experience to include all American expat teachers at the school.
You don't know what we Americans at the school for several years discussed among ourselves about the expat Australians at the school. Yet you know I am wrong. NOT.
Is it more expensive to renew after it has expired?Disclaimer: Expired but will renew
Pssst....if you look he said "a FEW of the Australians were total asshats" NOT that all Australians are asshats.Then who wrote this: I met and worked with too many Australians to want to go to their place down there where they actually live. All but a few of the Australians were total asshats or in certain instances psychos.
I think that depends on how long it has been expired. Just a heads up, you can't travel on a passport that is close to expiration.Is it more expensive to renew after it has expired?

What's so difficult about reading a post?
Referencing Aussie expat teachers at the bilingual school in Bangkok. Three thousand miles from Australia.Then who wrote this: I met and worked with too many Australians to want to go to their place down there where they actually live.

Yeah, three of the four Euro nations we were recently in made a point of telling us to confirm that before we got on the plane. Within six months of expiration was their line, I think?I think that depends on how long it has been expired. Just a heads up, you can't travel on a passport that is close to expiration.

I said I didn't want to visit their country, Australia.
You people are groping and nothing but. You people are being picayune with your own purpose unrelated to anything I said which is measured. Your posts in particular that are barging in do not play well with words and text.
Don't bother your playful self to call me any more -- I'll call you.Yes. You directly blame the Australians you worked with for not wanting to visit Australia. You literally said so.
Don't bother your playful self to call me any more -- I'll call you.
Because I'm sure we can leave it as it is.
Put this one on the shelf, yes. Right next to the Holier Than Thou inactive box.
All but a few does not equal all.Actually, he said "all but a few".
Which is something entirely different. Thanks for bringing your unique reading skills to our attention though.
