A complete set of my prints have been on file with the local, state, and
fedral government for decades. And they've never been used for anything.
I have nothing to hide, and as long as that remains the case, that info
just sits there, full of no sound or fury, signifying nothing. You are
truly paranoid. Do you honestly believe that your prints and retinal
scans will be lying one someone's desktop and pulled up now and then and
examined? "Hmm, John, look here at this Mooron fellow. These prints
looks awfully suspicious. Maybe we'd better do some further
investigating of this guy. I think he may be al Qaeda . . ." In fact
any prints taken at the US/Canadian border will end up in an archive,
lost and buried. Most won't even get put on the fingerprint database
servers at the FBI, there will simply be too many of them.

Wow..... you must be the poster boy for "Resistance is Futile... you will
be Assimilated". The obedient American Citizen. I commend you for your
abject acquiessence. Selection of "Hiding within the Masses" is a viable
method. Compliance to negate red flagging due to volume isn't the strategy
I would employ... but you seem comfortable with it.

Very. As I said, I have nothing to hide. You, OTOH, must have some serious
closet skeletons lurking about.


Not in the least. I couldn't care less. This entire debate has been a
mildly amusing entertainment, nothing more, nothing less. To believe
otherwise would be arrogant of you--and you certainly don't want to be
viewed as arrogant, now do you? Fact is, Mooron, only you and Ozzy can
debate with something resembling intelligence and cogent arguments. This
is recreation only. Sorry if I've offended you buy informing you that I
really don't give a rat's posterior if you choose to stand on the border
and **** on our country.

I'm not offended.... why should I be? As you pointed out... it's a
debate. I've never considered "Arrogance" as a bad thing.

My father once told me that arrogance is okay if you've got something
substantive to back it up. Do you? Please excuse me if I choose not to
take your word for it.

You do however give a "rat's ass"... that is obvious.

Nope. Frankly I think Scotty summed it up best--our border security has
been successful: it's keeping Mooron out. g

My position brings into question your eager compliance to your
government's demands. You have in effect convinced yourself that a total
invasion of your privacy is the only option to keep the dogs at bay. The
problem is that what you view as ****ing on your country ... is in effect
my ability to enact my freedom of choice... something your country fought
hard and long to secure... only to have it systematically removed, little
by little, without question form you at all. This is the point I don't
understand.

It's simple, really. I haven't surrendered any of my freedoms. To the
contrary, by being fingerprinted every three years, I can exercise my right
to carry a concealed firearm. And having my prints on file with the FBI and
everyone on down is hardly "a total invasion of (my) privacy." In fact,
posting one's own name on this NG is surrendering far more privacy than any
fingerprinting. I value my privacy, and I'm not pleased with some of the
turns this country is taking, such as the Supreme Court decision that allows
taking anyone's private property under the rules of eminent domain in order
to allow a private enterprise to build a new shopping center there. Or the
unauthorized NSA wiretapping bull****. And those are just the tip of the
iceberg. At least we know about such things. How many such things exist in
Canada of which you simply have no knowledge? I'm betting there are plenty.

That would actually suffice as a reasonable definition of indignation.

You'd best look up the definition of indignation..... then research "non
compliance".... it might indicate where you have gone so wrong and why I
am so right.

Then check your Webster's for a definition of "delusional," which is a
rather apt description of your current situation.


Good for you, Mooron. Everyone has a right to righteous indignation.
Even you.

You'll need better bait than that Max...... :-P


Since most countries eventually and ultimately emulate the security
procedures instituted in the US, you may discover fewer and fewer
countries where such identity records aren't accumulated. You may just
achieve that isolationist status yet.

OMG.... what a wonderful impression of an "Ugly American"!!! Let's see
what could I add.... Oh Yeah!.... the only way the USA undertakes
geography is by invasion. I bet hardly anyone in the USA knew where either
Vietnam or Iraq was until you launched a military action in those
regions...

Vietnam was having a rather nice little war when we became involved and
took over for the French at the behest of NATO. And why haven't you
mentioned Kosovo or Bosnia? Could it be because we did something good and
constructive there when no one else chose to do so? Why haven't you
mentioned our liberation of Panama? Did you forget about that, or don't you
know where Panama is? Why haven't you mentioned the Falkland Islands? Is
it because you have no bitch with Britain? And how about Spain, the Dutch,
and the Brits, who for centuries colonized all over the world via the
bloodshed method?

congrats.... in another hundred years and 500 thousand American lives...
you'll be at the Grade 4 level of geographic knowledge exibited by most
other nations!

At least we know where Canada is, and we've done something about it. I've
advocated invasion, but no one's listening to me.


I hear Damascus is lovely this time of year. g

I would be welcomed in Damascus with either a Belgian or Canadian Flag....
what kind of reception would you expect there? Oh Wait... your comment
explains that already.

Lovely place--can't wait to go. And I'd be welcome there as well.
Americans travel within Syria, Iran, and Pakistan daily. That probably
upsets you something awful, dunnit?

Enough of this. You're ****ed off, and it's becoming too long to be
entertaining. Have the last word, if you must.
