No, I will not link a date nor call it a lie. Can you juggle BTW?
Yes, I can juggle. Is this another attempt at some juvenile insult...something along the lines of juggling = something that jesters did and since you called me a jester (bizarre, antiquated term, and hardly an insult, but you wouldn't know, would you?), you have somehow been proven correct? Pretty sophisticated for you. And people wonder why I call you an idiot.Admit it, you want to be a customs officer, but failed the exam.

My mate went to america about 14 years ago from the Canada to US side of immigration. When asked what his purpose of the visit was he responded 'that he was they to assassinate the president.'
They laughed it off and let him in, needless to say no killing took place. The war on terror also takes a lot of liabilities away too and sometimes common sense should prevail.

Yup. 
Let's see: andymadmak idiotically insists that I sexed up a horrific news report by "making up" something that can be verified all over the web, ignoring the simple facts that the report was so heinous, no one could make it worse, and it would take an incredibly clairvoyant person to sift through trillions of possibilities and choose to make up something that actually *happens to be true*. Wow. Upon having these little things pointed out, he insists he knows me better than I do myself. Not idiotic? Maybe to you.
Jimbeaux - repeated ad hominem attacks, nauseating nationalism, poor grasp of other cultures or American foreign policy, insists on butting in and putting words in people's mouths, insists his worldview is the only correct one, and mocks anyone who thinks otherwise. And he is soooo very convinced about his blinkered views. Complains about other people while indulging in the same thing himself like a hypocritical schoolgirl. All wrapped up in poor spelling and toe-curling grammar. Idiotic? Indeed. I can't be bothered to sift through the thread(s) and quote and link everything, but there are plenty of examples within this very thread.
So, someone who does idiotic things, what do you call them? Idiots. Sorry for calling a spade a spade.
When was this 'fresh ban?' I seem to have missed it.

As to the thread, I have never had problems re-entering the U.S. This is not as automatic as some think for citizens, depending on where you visited. European nations have been fairly pleasant. Former Soviet states were slow and inefficent but not troublesome; a pack of Marlboros and things sped up considerably.

I love going to the States. Being ethnic I've witnessed some craziness. The funniest when a friend of mine in front of me handed over his British passport to be asked.
Why were you born in Bangladesh?
I can imagine that was a struggle to keep a straight face. Why were you born in Bangladesh?
Last time I crossed over to Canada the monkey in a box couldn't get his head around my wife having an Italian passport and me a British one but claiming we lived together in London, which he believed to be a different country from the two mentioned in our passports.
We couldn't work put if he was trying to illicit a reaction or was genuinely mildly retarded.
I've travelled there with NRIs quite a bit and they often have to explain that they are of Indian origin.
On one occasion a mate explained that he was like Arpoo in the Simpsons but that his dad owned 100 Quickimarts.
The key is to not point at their face and pull a 'Joey'.

The US immigration probably aren't allowed to think for themselves or give any leeway
In my experience, they have a huge amount of discretion. What matters is the attitude test when you get pulled for questioning at the detention room. If you are an obnoxious jerk, then expect to be on the next flight home. Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
