Then there's Mooron, who's worried about retinal scans and such. I
think he must have something in his past that he doesn't want uncovered.

I'm currently at a deadlock with US Customs.... they won't let me in
without my acquiesence to further data profiling....

Ah, so you do have something to hide, eh?

I won't consent until they place me on the undesierable list after
processing. That alone has them scratching their heads in disbelief!

Me too. Why would you want to be placed on the undesirable list?

Until then... If I can't make the list I want...I want no part of the
list I can.

I think you're more nuts than Bubbles.

Really though..... I have no reason whatsoever to visit the USA.

That's fine. Each to his own. But I can foresee any number of reasons
why you might find it either desirable or necessary to enter the US at a
future time. Do you really want to be on the list that permanently bars
your entry?

Like I said, I think you're nuts.

Well Max.... I guess I just like to **** with the system a bit. It's a
stupid system and I have no intention of completing the process. They seem
to think I really want to travel to the USA. They have nothing to guide them
when an applicant wants to be rejected! Now they want to appease me with
assurances of strict privacy and that's it's for US Security "during these
times". Yet they can't promise that info will be deleted later on if the
situation changes.

Like the time I was working in Am. Samoa. They were like 13 months getting
my American SS card to me. I didn't care, but I needed it prior to leaving
to pay my taxes.... so I visited the office. The dude says to me he'll
look into it.... I said I'm leaving in 2days and if the card wasn't there...
I wouldn't be paying taxes. He looks at me and says..."But everyone wants an
American Social Security Card!"... "obviously not everyone" I replied....,
"I don't want it, I don't care, and if it ain't here by day's end.... ****
you guys!.. I'm gone". He delivered it personally later that day!

I ask you...what self important, pretentious idiot would assume that anyone
would covet such a card is beyond me. He thought it was a privilege...
Really!

Max...try and "foresee" even one reason why anyone would require to "visit"
the USA?? I can't think of even one! You guys don't "require" to visit
Canada either.... and I wouldn't give a **** if you did visit or not.

Really... the USA ain't that great a place! Canada is mind you!

To get a better education?
To earn more money?
That's what my future DIL did. Oh, and she states
emphatically that she's never going back to Can..

Before I retired, my Engineering/Quality manager was a Canadian.
From Guelph (I guess that qualifies). He's not going back either.
Not only came to the U. S. but to the deep south. Talk aboot culture
shock, eeh!

Some people value cash over quality of life...... Quality Control is a
thankless and stressful job. Everyone hates you eventually... except the
client if you have done your job properly. I've been to almost every state
in the union many moons ago..... once was plenty.... I can't see any
reason for a return visit. Mind you the USA of circa 1980 was a much
different place than it is now.

...and it's "Eh!".... Ya'll! One of these days you Yanks will learn how to
pronounce the letter "R"... maybe.

Dang.... you're right Vito! I noticed that annoying habit of Yanks to add
the "R" after an "A" at the end of a word. So when Bobsprit says the word
"Cuba"... it sounds like "Cubar"....

There's no excuse for Ontario... I agree. It's like the NYC of Canada. The
weather sucks, the people are idiots [Liberals] and the weather sucks!

Did I mention the weather sucks?

Actually I'm sure they don't care.

Since you've rejected the normal process, they probably think you're a
suspicious character, and want as much info on you as they can accumulate.

Welcome to American bureaucracy. You can't possibly believe we Americans
get any better treatment, do ya?

visit Canada either.... and I wouldn't give a **** if you did visit or

I have friends in Canada, and I also have relatives who visit there often.
If anything happened to any of them, I'd want to be able to attend a
funeral, for example, or visit someone in a hospital. And my wife and I are
planning to spend the holidays this coming December at the famous hotel at
Banff Springs.

Really... the USA ain't that great a place! Canada is mind you!

There are myriad places in the USA that are gorgeous, and I never tire of
visiting them. And the job/career/business opportunities here are probably
greater in number and scope than those in Canada. But neither is really
important. I simply don't want to be told I cannot go someplace where I
should reasonably be able to go. So far I haven't found such a place.

And I still think you're nuts.
