i picked the worst time for a europe vacation :(

[brianmanahan]

so i booked priceline air/hotel tickets to vacation in england... and then the next day, the belgium attack happens

and now they are saying that there are 400 terrorists spread around europe ready to attack

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/storie...ME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2016-03-23-15-15-46

and i can't get a refund because the attack wasn't in the country i am going to :\

thinking about maybe just considering the booking a sunk cost, skipping this vacation, and going back in 10 or 20 years if things are any better

 

[Nograts]

You pussy.

 

[JSt0rm]

Just go. Wear the right gear.

 

[brianmanahan]

You p***y.

well, if there's an attack and i stop posting, then you'll know why

 

[UglyCasanova]

Just go, you'll be fine. Enjoy it.

"Fatalities include at least 1 American, who was in [european country] on holiday."

 

[Imp]

Go, then bee-line to former Eastern Bloc country?

 

[Ichinisan]

Just exterminate all the terrorists while you're there, OP. Do us a favor.

 

[Perknose]

Protect yourself. You can never be too cautious. Give the ticket to me. I'll be there for you. And by there, I mean England. This was meant to be. I'm nearly fluent in the language.

 

[MajinCry]

Why the hell would ya want to go to England?

 

[Ketchup]

England is nice. Enjoy brianmanahan!

 

[brianmanahan]

Why the h*** would ya want to go to England?

i wanna go to scotland too! but i don't know if i will have time. was thinking about taking a train up to glasgow for a day.

 

[Brainonska511]

Just go. I was in England in October and it was great.

If you're worried about things coming up, you can get yourself some travel insurance (both for health coverage costs and/or other potential problems). I used insuremytrip to find health insurance coverage for the week I went; cost me $8 for that kind of coverage. More umbrella-type coverage would have added between $50-$100 to the total cost of my trip, depending on the company and coverage.

 

[brianmanahan]

i bought travel insurance

but they won't let you cancel the trip and get money back unless the terrorist attack happens in the country you are going to

 

[brianmanahan]

just talked to a couple of friends

and they both said i should just stay home and consider the couple grand not as wasted, but as insurance that i don't get involved in a terrorist attack

The odds that you'd be involved in an attack are astronomically low. Just go and have fun.

And if he rolls badly, he might get a chance to choke the shit out of someone who needs it. It would be a glorious death. Think of the epic pomes that would be written about him!

Pretty impressive for an American, really!

 

[balloonshark]

I think you should go. Just don't embarrass us Americans by eating butter in public.

I don't know the math, but I'm guessing that his plane has a better chance of crashing to/fro than being hit by an attack.

 

[John Connor]

I'd go. I wouldn't let scum deter me from doing anything.

 

[Brainonska511]

Probably.

Plus, it's a big "fuck you" to those assclowns when you refuse to live your life in fear.

i appreciate the generous offer, but will have to wait and see how the situation plays out in the next couple of weeks
