It's hard to imagine there are people like that, But recent events proved there are. They voted for TRUMP!!!

Really. If he had stopped before that he wouldn't have shown his liberal ignorance. But the post was funny. It goes to show some people should just not travel. Stay home and watch National Geographic.

I'm pretty sure that whiners such as that needed safe spaces in college and we're all Hillary supporters.

Cute stuff, by the way.

Having spent my entire career in the travel industry, I can vouch for these type comments and also that they're mild, only the tip of the iceberg. The best I ever experienced was a woman who came into my office and said she wanted to take a bus tour to Italy. I said that I presumed she meant IN Italy, yet she insisted she wanted one TO Italy. When I pointed out to her that there were no buses that ran across the Atlantic Ocean, her reply was, "Oh how silly of me, I guess I will have to take a train." I closed the office and headed to the Irish pub around the corner soon as she left. Lastly, as so many have decided to comment on Bunko's closing statement, I will too. He's correct.
