No Clark, I still find you an assinine blowhard repudlickan apologist. No “contentiousness” there, just hatred. I find you pitiable, but I’m glad I entertain you.
Well, at least you admit you’re a bigoted jáçkášš.
But I don’t consider you a person Clark, so is it really bigotry, or just “speciesism”?
“Or…what? Seriously, what exactly happens to the US government if they deny someone entry for what you or I believe are not good reasons?”
Nothing. Anything at all. Every country can treat incoming foreigners as they wish.
But, when the same kind of disrespect happens with American citizens all over the world, the American government and American citizens couldn’t do nothing – but, surprise, they do. I still remember the “noise” when American citizens were obligated to do a kind of criminal register when entering Brazil – a AA pilot showed the finger, another one offended the customs officer…

Either / or. I do note that you didn’t contest the ‘jáçkášš” label.
In case you can read, I don’t CARE what you think of me. I only care about people who I think are worth caring about, and you aren’t on that small select list.
You’re entitled to your opinion. And I’m entitled to find yours worthless and disagree with it. Learn to deal
Sure you care, Bladestar. If you didn’t, my opinions wouldn’t rile you up so bad. It’s knowing that I’ve pìššëd you off so much that you’ve actually had to admit that you HATE me that amuses me so much. You can only arouse that kind of emotion in someone who really does care what you think. It gauls you so much that you can’t defend your position with good reasoned and logical debate that you resort to being rude and obnoxious to hide your frustration. The thing about you that amuses me is because the more frustrated you become, the more rude and obnoxious you get. What scares me about you is that there’s not much difference between you and any other hate group member.
All that matters is I keep pulling your pathetic strings my puppet

I actually know something about why the Brazilians did what they did with registering Americans entering into Brazil. Brazilian law states that the customs procedures and requirements a foreign national entering Brazil must go through will be exactly the same procedures procedures that a Brazilian citizen is required to go through when entering that foreigner’s country. The registration and fingerprinting procedures that various Americans found so odious and offensive were put in place because that is exactly what Brazilians were required to endure when entering the U.S. Brazil has had this policy codified into law for years. When the U.S. placed more stringent procedures on Brazilian citizens entering the U.S., their hands were tied. They HAD to place the same procedures on U.S. citizens. The only way Brazil could have NOT done this would be for their legislature to change their entire immigration policy.
Bottom line: If your country lets Brazilians in without even a Visa, you can show your passport and pretty much breeze on through. If your country requires a pre-approved Visa that can’t extend beyond a 90 day stay, that’s what you need to get into Brazil. When I read about this, it struck me as one of the more fair-minded customs procedures that I’d ever heard of.
