The reality of the matter is the US is probably more dangerous than most developed countries. As informative and interesting as these type of shows are, they sensationalize danger and crimes abroad as though these countries are death traps.
Americans are paranoid people to began with. These shows deter international travel for Americans and reconfirms their negative stereotypes about other countries. Truth is America has more violence than the majority of the worlds other countries including developing countries
@boston312 The US may have more violence than most developed nations but it nowhere near as bad as the violence in developing countries. The paranoia among American travelers in poorer countries isn't without merit. It's better to go somewhere knowing the potential dangers instead of just being naive.
As an American, I agree that Americans are a paranoid people. However, I don't think this show is just sensationalist garbage. This is one episode of a special series about people who were kidnapped abroad. Most of the people on this show weren't kidnapped, they went to prison for crimes that they admit to being guilty of (usually smuggling). The main message isn't that foreign countries are scary, it's more like "don't be stupid, don't be greedy, don't to stuff you know is illegal!"
It's only a third world 'shit hole' because your shit hole ancestors raped and pillaged the entire world of their gold. Now it's the invasion of the invaded. The world wasn't born yesterday.
Tell me who sells third world rebels and gangs their weapons? Oh that's right, shit hole USA. I think Nicholas Cage did a movie about exactly that. Lord of War.
@Bak3dB3an You're fucking retarded. Show me my ancestors raped and pillaged Indonesia. You don't even know what race I am, do you? Funny, you call the United States a shithole but you know what, the U.K is being overrun by the very sand niggers you defend so either you, yourself are a asnd nigger, or just another liberal brit fag with fucked up teeth and attractions to little boys.
Claims to be a succesful manager at the top of his game yet he drives that cruddy pile of old crap? I think he used to clean the hospital toilets but doesn't like to talk about it in public
@bikeyspice It's a re enactment. Who knows what kind of car he drove. Did he say I think the Lord looked at him and said Hey, you think you're so successful I have something in store for you. I agree that this guy has a shady story and seems to be holding back but the car this depicts him driving has nothing to do with it.
there are many foriegners who run scams and seek out lone travelers and expats. All I have to say is that don't laugh or look down at these folks.... As someone who has lived in china, it is very easy to get caught up into trouble and scams. You are vulnerable and have no leverage whatsoever. What kept me out of trouble was watching locked up abroad and steering clear from the blind prophet types who seek out down and outters to get them to do stuff they normally wouldnt otherwise do.
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!

Just make a call and say the pastor wasn't there. Then just go have fun or go lay on some beach and gather your thoughts.
Why is he getting so desperate?

Why was he in that 3rd world shit hole again?
People who have money to travel to the otherside of the world usually don't have the common sense to not do so.

If you prattle on, at least make it worth a read.
