Read the sticky at the top of "The Pit"...this is exactly the kind of post the pit is made for. Almost every forum on the interweb has a general "other stuff" directory where people can post pretty much what they want. |

I don't know how many of you have visited and experienced the beauty that is Europe. In light of this tragedy and the problems that people in North America are experiencing in tracking down friends and loved ones who may be in Belgium, I think it's time to re-think the ease of travelling from country to country over there. It's easier to drive from France to Spain than it is to cross the Peace Bridge from Ontario to Buffalo-in other words, it like driving from Ottawa to Hull, Quebec. With the advent of bar code passports, I would suggest that at the very least there should be checkpoints at borders where passports could be scanned. That way a country would know where its nationals are when outside the country. I know that this might be considered to be "infringing" on freedoms, but in this day and age, and given the fact that we have the tools at our disposal...
I hope I wasn't too political.
No, not at all Jim. Sometimes we need to go outside our family to vent our frustrations or just share some news that has us rethinking our own problems. It breaks my heart that peoples lives are being taken. It's also heartbreaking that so many people have been injured. Hopefully it won't be long before checkpoints at borders is the norm, as you say, that way each country will know where their nationals are either vacationing or whatever. Thanks for opening this thread. I also hope we don't get any negative feedback here. |
