Did the muggers take all your cash? Any rednecks kick your ass? Any racists ASSUALT YOUR WIFE? Relax, JR. There is a general rule regarding those who love to rip on the United States: they choose to visit here because of the substantial quantity of resources and attractions we have to offer, and they subsequently discover that this really is not an unsafe place to be, provided you don't stupidly or deliberately put yourself in harm's way. To the contrary they discover that their vacations come off without a hitch, are enjoyable, and often exceed their expectations. Of course, You have a beautiful country with scenery and possibility for adventure that is absolutely astounding. Unfortunately you also have sewers like Los Angeles. Of course they return home and resume their diatribe against the USA. Their like-minded friends just love to hear how awful and dangerous this country is. You need to get out more.... 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. g Either that or he is happy where he is That is certainly reasonable. and unwilling to go through the charade of US Customs and Security. Get a life. We go through it every time we board a plane. It's a minor inconvenience, if stupidly ineffective and annoying. But for Mooron to deny himself of the wonderful places and opportunities this country has to offer, strictly on principle or to avoid being inconvenienced in a minor way, is penalizing only him. None of us give a rat's posterior if he enters the US or not. Ummm, Max, it's not penalizing Mooron at all. It's a big world out there, lotta interesting places. Perhaps you should get out more. I liked it when I lived in the USA, but if I never go back I won't really care. I suspect Mooron feels much the same way. This isn't meant as a putdown for the USA, BTW, unless you really do think it's the centre of the universe and that everyone is desperate to go there. I feel exactly the same way about Jakarta and Honiara, and to a lesser extent, Sydney. All places where I've lived for quite some time. BT, DT, got the shirts..... You guys have every right to run any immigration regime you like. I don't care. Japan has fingerprinted foreign residents for the last 30+ years, AFAIK, However, when places like Brazil start fingerprinting and treating US visitors like you guys do to other foreign nationals, I don't expect to hear any moaning about it. OK? Not like it's going to make a difference to dedicated terrorists trying to get into the USA. I used to live in Tucson, illegals crossing the border didn't even make the news unless they died in the desert or something. PDW |
