i love america, where else in the world can you be detained 12 hrs for no reason and interrogated.

the last time i visited america i wanted to cross over the bridge to see if could get some good deals and a philly cheese steak.

i had all the necessary documents and for some reason the border guard thought i was an international coc aine smuggler. although i didnt know it at the time.

so i drove up to the booth and the guard says " good afternoon, what is the nature of your visit".

i said " to get a philly cheese steak and see if i could spot some good deals"

then he asked me for how long "i said a couple of hours"

he said "o.k." kept my documents and told me to follow another guard and drive over to a side building. there i was greeted by 3 heavily armed border guards dressed in swat gear.

one of them asked me to get out of the car and all three of them escorted me to a waiting area. i was under the impression that any sudden movement would result in massive automatic gunfire being shot at my direction point blank range.

they then drove the car to some other building and was told it was being searched. i said "fine", i thought it was just a routine random search.

i was in this waiting room for 3 hours when an agent finally came and escorted me to an interrogation room. this is where things got funny, for me, not them. i knew i wasn't a coc aine trafficker but these idiots couldn't grasp the concept, so i was having a good time.

i was in that room for the next 9 hours having to deny i was smuggling drugs and all i wanted was a philly cheese steak.

he kept asking me over and over again where the coc aine was. i said "what coc aine, are you insane", "i got no drugs" as so on. he then started saying that i wouldn't like it if i was smuggling drugs into your country. this went non stop for hours. it looked and sounded like "who's on first routine".

over and over again he kept asking me were the coc aine was. and over and over again i kept saying i wanted a philly cheese steak. this guy was no older than 19-20. i finally got fed up and asked if i could speak to an adult. (i have to add that they kept leaving the room and coming back, leaving me alone for long stretches at a time.)

when i said that, this big burly bad ass came, complete with standard issue cop mustache and said that they were going to release me soon, but first i have to have my finger prints digitally scanned.

then i told the guy, if all you wanted was my fingerprints all he had to do was ask. i would have said sure. i'm a guest in your country and if that's the rules i either say yes or go home, no big deal since i don't live there and they have no authority over me.

finally i was released and told i couldn't enter the country without a special waiver that would cost me $200.

that was the kicker, they couldn't arrest me, so they wanted to extort money from me.

by that time it was so late i had to settle for mcdonalds, instead of greasy philly cheese steak.

i guess the moral of the story is, don't ever mention that you're craving a philly cheese steak to an american border agent, they might think its international coc aine smuggling code for drugs.

yes america, sleep easy, your tax dollars are hard at work. with all the time they wasted on me, 100 real coc aine smugglers probably got thru yippe ki yaying all the way to where ever they go.

Great thread OP. I see it this way, each nation in different degrees are going through the same NWO agenda. We should be receptive to eachother, brainstorm, get ideas out, and get these people no matter where they are from inspired. We are all in this together, we should make nice and push forward, personally I like everyone I've met on here, no matter what nationality ATS is a marvelous group

Sorry but I disagree. The Americans I interact with are not the evil government....just terrible people. Seems Americans are too caught up in their own pride to really see just how terrible they are.

I really haven't met many(any) who are aren't awful people. So it is hard not to dislike your country as a whole.

I'm an American. I'm nice. You can say you have interacted with a kind American now.

The way they have completely and utterly ruined our language too, listening to them -ize everything sends shivers down my spine. Our language was formed over thousands of years, ruined in just 200 by a group of people who from day one have only ever been self interested.

Harsh. You hate an entire country because of things you have heard and because of grammar. That's a shame, too, because in my school, we take the time to appreciate other cultures and countries. Like yours. Hell, I take the time to learn as many different cultures as possible. I had a Norwegian exchange student and I never expressed my annoyance with him about how all of his "v's" we're pronounced as "w's".

I don't understand how such hate can exist. You haven't met me or my friends or my family or the volunteers at charities. To be bitter at an entire country is despicable. I hate that the holocaust happened but I still learned German and have German friends. I don't hate the country, I hate the man who brainwashed them. And I don't hate you. I hate what you become behind a computer screen.

It's not their fault Smilie, blame the Simpsons. 23 years of shouting USA! USA! No one knows any better Because to us your all like them, to you guys we're all Steve Irwins and play with spiders, kangaroos and crocs for fun...

It's just the latest trends of how to keep us divided. I made a thread on it the other day, because like you, I am disgusted by some of the drivel that people dredge up here. Even by my own countrymen. All this chest-beating and flag-waving must make the govts and corporations grin like mad to see, while they take another freedom away or invade another country to make more profits, while we endlessly argue who has the biggest you-know-what.

I have walked with people from all over this world, have BBQ'd with Americans, have attempted to keep up with the Japanese, have trekked all through Europe, spent 3 weeks crammed on a bus drinking with people from a dozen different countries from everywhere from London to Rome, and it was a blast. And you know, not once does your country get brought up, except in the case of who has the best beer (It's us btw, the only thing I will argue )

When the governments who pull all this crap finally take our last freedom, and the corporations finally rule over everything we do, including our right to revolt, some of you may eventually drop your flags and realise what they are doing. By then it will be too late.

Americans are geeting EXACTLY the government they deserve!! Americans are ethnocentric, bigoted, selfish, materialistic, zombified sheeple who LOVE torture and murder..otherwise we wouldn't BE in Iraq, Afghan, Pakistan, bases on every continent..WE are the EVIL EMPIRE OF DEATH..the enforcers for the GLOBAL FASCIST GULAG..while the stoopid sheeple sit hypnotized in front of their idiot boxes, drinking HFCS soda pop, eating junk food, drinking fluoride, taking their mercury vaccines, breathing in nanoparticles that wire into the brain turning Amerikans into BIOLOGICAL ANDROIDS, perfectly programmed into the Matrix Control Grid..Good riddance!

Take a break from the hate, my friend. Go outside and walk in the sunshine. Pet a puppy or caress a cat. Go blow dandelion puffs and listen to the birds sing. Just get away from the nonsense for awhile, it'll improve your outlook tremendously.
