Re:Maurice/Fatguys Angst-o-the day thread

[quote=”Sasha”]You know, I just get so sick of hearing all the whining. If you have to be photographed and fingerprinted to come here so what??? If you are not guilty of anything it shouldn’t matter.

Whine whine whine.

But just as soon as someone blows up a building it’ll be criticism as to why we didn’t protect everyone.

I don’t hate muslims. I don’t hate christians. You are all entitled to your own beliefs. I just hate the people that use their religion to try to make the world your own.

I have always been a middle-of-the-road voter. I have voted democrat and voted republican. Depends on the candidate and what I believe is necessary in that office at that time.

My peronal opinion is that a Democrat in office at this time in history puts our country more at risk from terrorists. THAT is more important to me than whiners who don’t want to be photographed and fingerprinted coming into the country. If I have to be photographed and fingerprinted going to another country, fine. It’s their rules and I AM VISITING THEIR COUNTRY. I follow their rules.

Sorry – felt the great need to vent. I don’t post here often, but I do read the board. And frankly, all Maurice’s whinings get on my last nerves.[/quote]

Thanks for the reply. I have noticed that Americans live in a sheltered “media world”. Sure I protest the official policy set by the United States…..but that policy is the best of all worlds for non-whites.. Your policies are racist and I would never be allowed entry into your country (even though I am a born and raised Canadian)….I have proof. Furthermore, if one was not born in Canada…..but a Canadian citizen traveling on a Canadian passport, I could be shipped of to some foreign country like Syria and tortured and held for twelve months and not have the Americans tell the Canadians what had happened to him:

My uncle is a member of the International Olympic committee and offered free trips to my parents to some games in South America…..however my father was concerned that they may be shipped off to a foreign country on stop over…..so they did not go (they did go to the Manchester games and sat a few seats away for the Prince of Wales…..no problems on that one).

The picture taking and finger printing is onerous enough…..but that is the least of us our worries; Being sent to a hostile country against you will and not being able to tell your family or inform Canadian authorities of your whereabouts in a very real possibility. This issue was supposedly resolved at the Summit Of The Americas.
