RE: Most places are safe to visit as long as you aren't an idiot

Morons and idiots are everywhere, and nobody likes them... In your country, in my country, everywhere... Btw. Speaking of the country where I live atm (Spain), can't believe it's labeled "increased caution"... lol... I can't say it's safer than the USA as I wasn't there, but from the words of American friends who moved here, I would say it is... 😃

Anyway, back to the topic... Sometimes I have a feeling that this kind of advices are published to "discourage" people from visiting other places, to see that it can be BETTER than in your OWN country... The media likes to spin things by titles like: "Look at others, they have cartels, and robberies... We don't!" You know that joke about the dirty laundry...

A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood.
The next morning while they were eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbor hanging the washing outside.
“That laundry is not very clean; she doesn’t know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap.”
Her husband looked on, remaining silent.
Every time her neighbour hung her washing out to dry, the young woman made the same comments.
A month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband, “Look, she’s finally learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?”
The husband replied, “I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows.”
