That's awesome.

Quote:
It was me and a gruff, humorless customs official. He unpacked my luggage entirely, ran the contents of my wallet through a bomb sweep, and carefully examined all of my belongings. He then asked me to turn on my laptop. I did, and he began using it. I saw him open Spotlight and begin searching.

"Do you connect to the Internet on this laptop?"
"Yes."
"Have you downloaded and images?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Do you have any pornography?"
"No."

I waited in total silence for about 10 minutes as he kept searching and searching, until I finally asked him, "What are you looking for?"

"Contraband," he said without looking up at me.
"Such as?"
"Child pornography, hate propaganda."
"Child porn I can understand, that's illegal. But hate propaganda is protected speech."
Now he looked up. "What country do you think you're in?"
"Oh, it's illegal in Canada?"
"I honestly don't know. But that doesn't matter. I get to decide what goes in this country. Do you have a problem with that?"
I paused for a long time while I thought about what I should say to this. "Yes."
"Yes, you do have a problem?"
"Yes, I do. If it's illegal in Canada I'll understand, but saying 'I don't want it in my country' isn't good enough when you're a government official."

Just goes to show Canada is just like the U.S. and has absolutely no regard for personal rights. If that happened to me I would do everything I could to embarass the Canadian government and I would never return.

That's okay, Canada doesn't want you coming here anyway.

Protip: You are not a Canadian citizen. You are not a special little butterfly and you have no rights here. If you don't like it you can go home.

I don't think so.

Basically he didn't say anything to counter what I said. All he did was insult me.

No, I didn't insult you. I merely restated exactly what you planned on doing. To reiterate:

1.) You will embarass the Canadian government by making a lot of noise about how poorly you were treated and how you are entitled to gold-plated toilets and random fellatio because you are from the great United States of America. I can only imagine your trip home on the stereotype train will end at a McDonalds where you will enjoy several supersized Big Mac meals and a gallon of Coca-Cola.

2.) You will then never come back to Canada, a country where you were never really welcome anyway.

Yep. Never countered a word of what you said at all.
Hint: The people who were at fault worked for the airline, not the Canadian government.

Oh, please. The plane having to land I can understand. Those are government regulations. But the police interrogation was uncalled for.

You sure hit the nail on the head there. :rolleyes:

Nice assumption though that you think I'm angered because I'm from the "great United States of America" and therefore I'm entitled to better treatment. You must be incredibly stupid (but more likely you're trolling) to make such an asinine assumption.

No no no, you misunderstand me. You simply strike me as the kind of person who goes to China and then loudly protests the fact that you can't talk to your new friends about how awesome Christianity is. Or one of those people who bicker and whine about how you have to wear a stupid sash to explore the ruins of an ancient mosque and how your drunken whore of a girlfriend isn't allowed inside because she's wearing a short skirt. Or one of those born-again Christians who drive to Ontario from Arkansas just to burn the Canadian flag, because we dare to let those filthy gays get married.

Hint 1: These stories aren't fictional.

Hint 2: Nobody cares except you. If you are in a foreign nation you are playing by their rules. If you are in a country that bans chewing gum, you don't bring over a pail of Dubble Bubble and start handing them out to the local kids. The louder you are, the dumber you look. Suck it up or stay home.

Hint 3: You are not a Canadian citizen. Your right to free speech ends when you cross the American border. You are not a beautiful snowflake, you are not unique, nobody cares what you have to say, and you have no right to try to affect change in our country. Suck it up or stay home.

And stay out of my country, just for the principle.

Pfft. The crew of the airline reported that a bomb was on the plane. They overreacted horribly, which - under regulations - set a chain of events in motion that couldn't be stopped.
Everybody else did their jobs. Including the customs agent, although he probably felt like being a jerk because this guy just wasted a lot of his time and a ton of federal money.

And if you think the American government wouldn't do this then you need to quit freebasing.

At the risk of becoming banned, let me say as respectfully as possible that just because you disagree with Freelancer's statements doesn't mean you have to be a dick to him. So...maybe if you hadn't phrased your post in a way which is much akin to the way an ***hole would phrase it, you guys could discuss it instead of arguing which drugs each other is taking, and whether or not everyone should stay in their own country and further the segregation of the world into little groups which all hate each other for no good reason?

When the officer asked him "OK, so ... if you and Cara were drunk together, and she turned to you and said, 'Tim, let's go--'"

I believe that was really no point? I mean come on, they met on WoW.

Haha. When he said Warlocks have to be nerfed, So true lol. :P

Oh, Rob, don't let my postcount fool you, I've been here forever, at least as long as Jon'C has. But hey, sometimes a man has to say stuff, you know? Having watched Massassi degenerate into a bunch of people telling each other all the different ways his **** doesn't stink as much as some other member's, a man's gotta say SOMETHING every once in a while. Unfortunately it's like a big whirlpool of dickery that even I have been sucked into. P.S. Rob you're the opposite of my hero but your work makes me laugh sometimes.
