I'm fucking terrified of this country. I don't ever want to go there. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I wouldn't if I was you either. What are you gonna do? I would convince your hubby to move to your country, if I was you.

why this woman was put in detention: the reason she was put there: now, are you telling me that her employer didn't know about this law? my feelings about it? go cry on someone elses shoulders, possibly that womans employer for being negligent. i would. on second thought, if i was that woman i would sue my employer for not informing me of that law and sending me here without proper credentials.
Homeland Gestapo. I'm oh-so-glad they kept me safe from that terrible and highly dangerous journalist that was gonna go and do something so terrorist in nature that she'd use the evil Constitution of Free Speech to do me harm! - N
What a load of bullshit. While I can agree a bit with leo (if you're a journalist you should know the laws, blah, blah, blah...), but that kind of treatment just goes to show how the "terrorists" are beating us to death with our own paranoia. We're going to hell in a fucking handbasket. IMFO.
What a crazy story. Part of me wants to disbelieve it because I'm used to most service people being apathetic at best. I imagine they deal with hundreds of people a day, and they don't bother wasting energy becoming unnecessarily emotional. The way this article makes it sound, the agents at the customs office were like enthusiastic extensions of a "stereotypical evil pissy America". Maybe she was one of those dramatic demanding pain in the butt people who intentionally do stuff to get a rise out of people, then play up the angle. That's what I thought when I read the part about how she freaked out when they looked through her luggage. Luggage searches seem pretty innocuous to me. At the same time, I want to believe her - mainly because if she was telling the truth exactly like it happened, and in its exact context, then the system needs to be changed immediately. I don't want to contribute to any problems by pretending nothing is happening.
there is one thing to remember, and that is: this law was enacted in 1952, so apparently it was needed. our lawmakers seen a need for it big enough to make a law about it. now 50 some odd years later it is seen to be needed again. superluminal: did we "go to hell in a handbasket" during the 50s"?
Who are the ones that enacted that stupid law in the first place? Why fear some terrorist that you'll never be in danger of when you have these punk government officials domestically terrorizing us all the time. - N
oh, i do believe her. just like i believe every other person that's in jail. i've been in jail and i hated every second of it. so, if you hate something how are you going to depict it? peaches and cream?
I have my own experiences with the US embassy of Sao Paulo to know for a fact that this is not propaganda have fun in your own dream bubble
i believe the late 50s and 60s was a pretty good time for the US. mccarthyism, hmmmm. what can i say? it happened. but we didn't "go to hell" during that time. mccarthy was eventually censured wasn't he?
Well, I suppose it depends on which side of the congressional/senatorial hearing bench you're on, dosen't it?
