Nope never wanted to and propably never will want to.

Yes I will. I most likely got an internship there after the summer holidays, and if that doesn't work out I got a few colleges that I applied for.
What? I dont think its hard to visit the US as it is now (or were) I went just a month ago, and i visited 4ish years ago as well.
Fill out a form, if you dont, they hand it out to you on the airplane, pay a small fee. Done.
Depends on what country youre from if they are going to be strict, (no racism really? ya rly)
If youre from Sweden, like me. They arent so anal, I filled out i had food in my bags, they didnt even check or ask.
Once i freaked out for whatever reason and acted supper nervous and stressed, he just asked me 3 more random questions and let me through.
But yah, filling out the form, just dont say youre terrorist and eat american children, and youre good.
Not a big problem going there for me I don't even have to apply for a Visa if I don't want to stay more than 3 months. Had a great time in the U.S and even though I wouldn't want to live there (unless I'm rich someday maybe) it's not as bad as most people told me although I heard it really depends on where you go.
Yes, there are quite a few places in the US that I'd like to see.
As far as I know, it's not particularly difficult for EU nationals to get tourist visas at the moment, so not sure how much of an impact the changes would have on me - but I already want to visit, so making it easier is just icing on the cake, as it were.

I am ½ American, ½ Danish. Live in Denmark. I love to visit family in Texas, California and New Mexico. Contrary to what most people believe, Americans are actually some of the friendliest and most hospitable people around unless they are diehard republicans, in wich case they are morons.
I want to the US, but my parents thinks it's too far away, though, if I will work with what I want (cruise sea captain) I will most likely live in the US, you will not get away from me!
I went to the USA for 5 weeks at the end of 2010 (Nov/Dec) and it was such a blast I can't wait to go back (Sadly Don't have the money and won't for ahwhile becuase of Uni and other reasons) ...
However I will NEVER go back to LA ever again ... Fly in at LAX... Transfer across to the Domestic Port .. And fly right back out to wherever; Vegas, NYC, Orlando ect ect.
LA is the biggest shithole ... Dirty, Disgusting and every 3 steps you take you feel like your going to get mugged ... I'd love to sit here and say "LA is shit but Hollywood/Beverly Hills are great", but NOPE.. Even Hollywood and Beverly Hills are dirty and horrible. (Some areas of Beverly Hills looks nice, but still the majority of it is terrible).
So Hell Yer I'd love to Travel back, And I WILL FOR SURE!!! (Once I'm 21 at least) .. And it's nice to know that it could be even easier to Travel Next time I wish to go over ... But yea .. Inc Avoid LA at all costs :S
I plan on spending next christmas in New York, currently live in the U.K.
Spending Spree, Top Hotels & Laughing at thick new york accents. \o/
why would i want to go to the next Police State to come? just thinking of SOPA is a prof of that
so NO never in my lifetime will i ever got to the US
I want to visit Phoenix. I said to myself yesterday, if I ever wanted to start a new life. I'd love to do it in Phoenix AZ.
Seriously I went to the; Grand Canyon, LA, NYC, Washington D.C, Orlando, and Anaheim ... And the ONLY place I felt majorly unsafe at was in LA ... I always got back to my Hotel by 9-10pm and in my 4 days there ended up only going out for 2 days (One day a Bus Tour, One day to just chill around Hollywood) ...
NYC, Washington D.C, Orlando and Anaheim I'd be walking around at 10pm - 1am or riding the Train and not once did I ever feel unsafe/In Danger ..
Bantokar here is spot on:
With the exception of LA which I assumed being a Touristy area would be safe and happy but was shit ... That is exactly true. Even in LA it wasn't a "Gang" feeling just more of being in a constant state of feeling Unsafe.Why would you be afraid of that? I´m pretty sure most tourists don´t go to gang/crime infested areas wearing "screw the crips" t-shirts.
Things that shouldn´t and wouldn´t effect you as a tourist. Some countries in the middle east are far far worse. Sounds more like baseless prejudice.
Hell Norway and Sweden have political violence and fairly large Nazi affiliated groups, yet are still very safe countries

Yeah I think alot of tourists get the wrong idea about LA / Hollywood. It's not really a cool place to visit (of course this is opinion) but too spread out, dirty and not very friendly. If I were a tourist I would go see NYC, maybe Boston, Dallas, New Orleans (probably number 1), Pittsburgh, Savannah GA and Charleston SC
