(tongue in cheek) surely not - that's a visa violation, right?

It is not, if you ask for the little paper called "an activity authorization out of residence qualification" I think... As far as I know (and experienced), if you ask for it, they give it to you...

"stealing jobs from Japanese poeple!" I would scream in my black van.

Thank you franz75 for this morning laugher! I usually feel sad when seeing this kind of idiots parading though...

Nobody wants that, but the meaning of the word "terrorist" couldn't be any simpler. They wish to instill terror into the minds of other people to achieve a political agenda.

Actually the invasion and occupation of Iraq was planned by the Neocons before 9-11 and they used that…

I guess my point here is that, silliness happens at entry points into every country in the world and to say some of the knee-jerk things that are being said here is not only childish but irresponsible.

I don't know if it's childish or irresponsible... I do feel it is…

US immigration has become so painful that I refuse to go through it anymore.

I have to agree. People having a residence permit or a visa may get through without problems, but for those who just need a connection, being treaded as if we were attempting to illegally enter US…

“There are sex volunteers for the elderly and for the handicapped,” Where do I sign up?!

Altria, are you this interested in elderly and handicapped ?

"One would have thought there is enough anti-social behavior linked to mobile phones without going into the bath as well."

I've known better places than bath for general socializing. One could argue that the time it took to send an email in the bath is available for socializing once out…

The prosecution of Bush would not bring anyone back to life, only a small piece of justice... and it is not even likely to happen. Iraq war is already engraved in our history, along with many others. May we all remember what war means the next time some crazy leader…

Has anyone noticed the quote marks of "babysitter" ? This is just another in-mall animation to entertain a few kids. There is still a/several adults watching over them, the old fashion way...

This IS obviously a talking computer, so crying on how we loose our humanity, quoting Azimov, or asking…

"What are the failed, post-modern pseudo-states of Europe going to do if we don't dance to their silly tune on "global warming"? Are they going to refuse to sell us their cheese? Are they going to launch gratuitous lawsuits against multinationals like Microsoft?"

This would be a funny comment in…
