That's EXACTLY the attitude I'm talking about...

Again, you try to put words into my mouth -- be sure, I have enough of my own and don't need yours -- especially when they are complete nonsense. Perhaps a course in reading comprehension would be beneficial for you?

For a start, I NEVER said that I hate the states -- however, I do have a definite disdain for nationalist idiots who refuse to acknowledge what their government has done and IS DOING TODAY, RIGHT NOW -- not 10, 20 or 100 years ago.

Nothing I've put forward is news. Deny it as much as you want. Anyone with 3 brain cells could Google the same information and more in about 10 seconds. Sound like too much work? Too difficult?

According to your twisted thinking, Germany is 'evil' TODAY because they had Hitler and is Russia 'evil' TODAY because they had Stalin. Is there any country NOT on your list (besides the USA)? Get a life and GET OVER THE PAST and maybe, just maybe, try to do SOMETHING to see that your children don't live in a police state TODAY and in the future.

Do you think the only people reading this post are Americans? Hate to break it to you, but the Internet belongs to the WORLD now -- and I suspect that people in Russia, Germany, France, Italy and yes, even Canada are pretty proud of their countries -- as well they SHOULD be.

You have a lot of bloody nerve calling someone else a bigot with your "USA is the best country in the world" flag-waving, nationalist, xenophobic BS.

Let me break a little news to you -- America is NOT the 'best country in the world' -- if you had ever left the farm, you'd have LEARNED that EVERY country in the word has BOTH positive AND negative aspects.

Only a FOOL completely denies or ignores the negative aspects or tries to make EXCUSES for them or tries to DIVERT BLAME.

>Your Canadian, live in Russia, and fly
>to/around Finland for some ungodly reason.

My reasons are none of your concern. Again, you impart YOUR JUDGMENT on the rest of the world. What makes you think you are god of the universe living in paradise while the rest of the world is crap?

>I see by your post you just want
>to go to any country unmolested....

Yes, I do as a matter of fact, the USA is the ONLY country in the world with little micro-gods hassling business travelers both entering AND leaving the country. There is absolutely no need of it -- but the reasons it is REALLY being done seem completely over your head. Again, a little reading comprehension practice on the DHS Policies wouldn't be wasted effort.

What is interesting that you so many people will allow the government to do ANYTHING -- to break ANY LAW -- to completely PI$$ on the constitution in the name of "protecting you from terrorists". Well -- WHERE ARE THEY?

If there was even ONE SINGLE TERRORIST in the country that isn't smart enough or motivated enough to hook a pickup truck onto a section of railway track and pull it out? There are a MILLION kinds of mischief terrorists COULD be doing -- but they are NOT -- why is that?

Is the government doing such a good job that no terrorists can enter the country? Well, the 10 million or so Mexicans living and working illegally from coast to coast could probably give them some pointers. If hundreds of uneducated Mexicans with no military background whatsoever can cross the border EVERY DAY -- what prevents terrorists from doing the same?

Does it not strike you that something is wrong with the propaganda the government has been feeding you about this terrorist nonsense? Good god man, THINK FOR YOURSELF, USE YOUR BRAIN.

There is no monster in the closet -- so why are you so willing to give up EVERY RIGHT, FREEDOM and PRIVACY to try and save your sorry butt.

What's next? Put cameras on every street corner (as they have in the UK already), let Blackwater or Haliburton rent-a-cops do random armed searches of people going to work? You want to have to carry a passport or 'universal ID card' every time you want to leave your own home?

Just because YOU are terrified of your own shadow and are willing to give up YOUR freedom doesn't mean anyone else does. If you want to bend over and take it up the butt while some Nazi storm trooper searches your body cavities for who knows what -- then please go ahead and enjoy it -- but don't impart YOUR lack of concern for your own privacy and freedom on anyone else.

Good old Ben Franklin had some nice words that make it clear: "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

>I assumed, incorrectly, you were American.
>So I really don't Give a #$^%$ WHEN YOUR NOT.

Your statement exemplifies the very WORST attitude of someone supposedly from a so-called 'civilized' or 'democratic' society.

Your view that someones opinion is irrelevant because their are "not American" makes me sick, as it should do not only to everyone else outside the USA, but to other Americans that don't have such small, narrow minds.

Are you a Navajo or other REAL American?

Do you realize how much of a horse's butt you sound like spouting all this "American best in the world" nonsense when your own heritage is probably from one of the other 'evil' countries you see so set against?

My contribution to this thread is closed. As Spock would say, "No intelligent life here."
