Brazil imposed the new rules that Americans be fingerprinted and photographed at entry points in response the similar rules in the United States for citizens of Brazil and other countries whose citizens need visas to enter. Hahaha.. it's ok to harass people entering the US, but they apperantly get all edgy if they receive the same treatment. This war on terror will probably be laughed at in twenty years, much like we laugh at the reasons for the Vietnam war now. When I was on vacation in the US this summer, I got a questionnaire with questions like 'Are you now, or have you ever been a terrorist?'. Sleep tight yanks, no terrorists could possibly enter your country with tough checks like that. Too bad you're country is so fucked up it spawns the likes of Timothy McVeigh. |

that questionaire is almost a relic - Frank Zappa made a piece about it on the Yellow Shark, with someone reading out that questionaire. |

it's not new? nobody I asked who went to the US before 9/11 got it. maybe they've resurrected it. really stupid shit anyway. I guess if it later turned out that I was a terrorist (like after I assasinated michael moore) they could've added some years for lying to the government. |

btw.. the wording is wrong.. it's not like a mccarthy hearing 'are you now or have you ever been a commie bastard pinko'. maybe that's what you heard zappa quote |

i really wish more countries would do shit like this... if we stuff right back down their throat the american people won't be so oblivious to how much anger directed towards them their really is... |
||||||||

|

yeah. I hope their tourism industry will get fucked. Then they`ll welcome people back with open arms. Damn yanks. |

|
|
well i mean honestly, i don't understand why people are bothering to travel to the states just to be antagonized... go to canada, go to europe, visit the south pacific, visit south and central america, visit africa, visit asia... come on now... |
||||||||

no, they're standard immigration documents. going back to the fifties I think. |

funny how one person from the u.s. behaving badly becomes "they" and "yanks." |
||||||||

well actually, the pilot's reaction was close to being a fair one... it was the behaviour of policy-makers and reactionaries that is questionable... but it certainly was a bit silly to title the post the way it has been titled... apologies from the international delegation... |

america sucks. |

stupid yanks. |

lather, rinse, repeat. |

the problem is that america is photographing everyone coming in. whereas brazil is singling out americans purely out of sheer spite. america is being paranoid, and spending resources in the wrong places, wasting time... whereas brazil is just being petty spoiled brats. i think it's funny what the pilot did. |
||||||||

why are Brazil being petty? If it`s good enough for Americans to do isn`t it good enough for the rest of the world. Isn`t that America`s ambition, to Americanise the world? McDonalds in Siberia for gods sake! The current administration are nothing short of fascist. They are abusing people`s privacy and belittling their integrity. It`s no wonder Brazil are doing what they are doing. I wish more countries had the balls to stand up to The US and make them see sense. Make them see how ridiculous they can be. War on terror my arse. More like totalitarian abuse of privacy. bye |

i'm just going to tell people abroad that i'm from canada. good ol' canada... |
||||||||
|

|
|
yeah, Ive been to the US 5 times. But I don`t think I wanna go back. Canada here I come! |
||||||||

brazil is being petty because they are only inconveniencing americans out of sheer spite. the us is inconveniencing everyone out of paranoia. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don`t think it`s out of spite. I think they are making an important political point. Maybe it`s bad to just single out Americans... the worlds fucked. |

perfect paranoia, perfect awareness. Kidding, actually 9/11 was some pretty wacked shit in my opinion. Not justifying anything, but it was wacked. Worst nightmare shit. |
