The question at reddit was "Americans of Reddit, what places in America should foreigners avoid at all cost?" You might expect that there would be a bunch of people telling visitors not to come to America at all due to the danger of gunshot wounds that you can't afford to have treated. But instead the commenters took it seriously, based on foreign visitors they have known who came to the US with the wrong ideas. They had already been warned about the guns and the cost of healthcare, but were completely uninformed about the dangers of Yellowstone, Death Valley, and the Grand Canyon. They're not really saying don't come, but if you do you should be aware of what to expect, and it can be dangerous. Also, many visitors have no concept of how big the US really is. Read all the advice at the reddit thread, which includes warning tourists away from your hometown, or just the highlights that make the most sense for both foreign and domestic tourists at Digg.
