As soon as you get to the airport you're treated with suspicion. I can imagine for muslim travellers that it's twice as bad.

Actually, they tend to get treated with kid gloves (if not ignored altogether) because security personnel are afraid to be disciplined or sued for "racial"…

Oh great, tighten the restrictions on Japanese executives and tourists, but leave the southern border wide open, eh? We need more drunken gardeners and MS-13 gang members killing people (after all, they're only doing the jobs Americans just won't do), but keep an eye on that Nissan executive!

And some…

Good points, GW.

Lay off the professional/social expectations and let people go home at night and on weekends to see their loved ones. I've seen so many Japanese people who never have time to enjoy life, so they try to compensate by buying expensive products. They wake up one day…

Glad to hear the senator-for-life is recovering so quickly. Now would be a good time for him to retire from trying to control the country by relaxing with his family.

Since the time America won WW2 and saved Europe from itself, the two-term Republican presidents include: Ike, Nixon, Reagan, and GW Bush.

The Dems have produced exactly one post-war prez who was elected to two terms, and he was far closer to the center than Obama.…

The point is, george bush and dick cheney are the real terrorists of this country. they have lied, fabricated and deceived the American People. they used their position to advance their personal agenda.

Why would teenagers fake id to get a job inspecting nuclear power plants? What a bizarre aspiration.

The money's probably better than working at a bento factory.

I much prefer Karen Allen to that harpy who was in #2. What a mess of a movie.

I don't know if I've ever agreed with you more. ;)

Sad to hear that the film is a let-down. More-bigger-louder doesn't always mean better.

its far more cruel to make someone sit, and think about loss of liberity,and freedom for the rest of there life.

You're assuming such people are capable of feeling guilt or remorse. More often than not, they're just shy of being sociopaths. Prison life is its own society,…

If it's not collected here, they will collect it from somewhere else, or do without services.

Now there's a novel idea. Let's cut spending on the vote-buying entitlement programs! They are in the same position we are, right? Just worse.
