Anyone that says it is a load of horshshit that it is safer to travel abroad with a canadian flag on your backpack has their fucking head up their ass to the fact of how much the rest of the world dislikes americans in general(most all that I know are good people, the as a whole that isn't the case). Hell where I used to live I remember some business put up a business sign pointing to their shop or something on a highway.. Basically said 'Turn left here, 2 miles till 'whatevertheshopwascalled', but the point is he put miles on it instead of KM because of all the american tourists that came through.. The sign was trashed and gone in a day because of that. Holland is a huge place to go with a Canadian flag, I know when my stepfather went there in the 70's total strangers would invite him into their houses for tea and snacks from seeing that flag..
Given some of you probably have been to europe and have been left alone, those of you were probably well-mannered polite people, however a lot of americans will get hassled big time just because they are not as polite as some other tourists, and they are ignorant to high hell, and show absolutely no desire to change that, and to make matters worse sit around in complete confusion that the rest of the world doesn't bend to their language, beliefs and way of life..
