4. someone said this in another thread |
|
we should remember what if the shoe was on the other foot? If you flew into NYC and gave the finger to a customs agent you'd be locked up so fast you wouldn't have time to reconsider. Even if you are an American citizen.

3. They're trying to get our attention |
|
They succeeded. They're angry over not being excluded from the list of countries whose citizens are exempt from being fingerprinted for flights to the US.

I think he deserved to get arrested. The real message here is that Brazil is trying to let uste taste what we dish out. Many Americans don't seem to like that. I call it elitism

8. Yup...I think this is great. |
|
I think the man's behavior shows us not only how childish we are in expecting other countries to cooperate with us when we're acting like fucking assholes, but also gives us a little taste of our own "harassment" medicine.
I think most would call this "justice."
