dimafleck: the living legend. Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 (edited) just cuz you're a dirty hippie and you smoke pot, doesn't mean you should dislike a person with a very important and serious job and make assumptions about his intelligence or his motives.

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 just cuz you're a dirty hippie and you smoke pot, doesn't mean you should dislike a person with a very important and serious job and make assumptions about his intelligence or his motives.Not to impugn the job, or diss any of the people who do it (I'd hate to have to do it myself); there's something about the no-man's land that is a border that can bring out the worst in some people. I'm sure the pressure of expecting the worst out of the people who drive by doesn't help very much either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 If Dima and I were working the border at that time, we wouldnt have let you in either."That guy's a dumbass, eh?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_starr Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 next time, try bringing a chick with you and have her do the driving through the border check. i find they're always easier on girls. Not that it's right for them to treat ladies differently, but they do nonetheless. ...and it doesn't hurt to have her look VERY pregnant...

StoneMtn Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Actually, I'm quite sure you're wrong about that. They tend to be concerned about people coming into the US to have kids who would then be born American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Was Lahey working the border that day?I still don't see how you can't go back to the states because there was a dick working. isn't there anything you can do to wash it away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimafleck: the living legend. Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 and another thing....how could be angry at the Border Guard for taking away your food when its clearly standard protocol that THEY have to FOLLOW.....its the law.if anything, be angry at yourself for bringing food over the border without doing any research.well, at least you hopefully learnt your lesson.and you'll have to learn it everytime you cross from now on and they ask "have you ever been denied access to the USA" and you'll have to grit your teeth and say "Yes...once, but it wasn't anything illegal, i was young and immature and was out of line with a guard" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Afro Poppa had a bad day, and he truly feels sorry for any amount that he may have contributed to his friends being denied access to the U.S.A.He, himself, recognizes how his reaction to the border guard's confiscation of his food was a catalyst in all this.He doesn't need a lecture right now. Don't kick him when he's down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it's right for them to treat ladies differently, but they do nonetheless. I disagree with that statement. The ONLY 2 times I've ever had a problem getting into the States have both been with women driving.BTW nobody has mentioned this yet but once you are refused entry into the States you can't cross for a minimum of 3(?) years.

YearsAlongTheSea Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 (edited) I'm sorry to hear about that Afro Pop. They can be real dicks, I've dealt with them on numerous occassions. While it pains me to say this, you have to come across as an ever-obedient, maliable member of society. You have no option but to be transparently courteous to them, as degrading as it feels. They are trained as though the safety and integrity of the nation lies in their hands and their decisions. I can understand their angle, they have to profile when dealing with the mass amounts of people they do. They don't have the leverage or time for faith in humanity. Things suck the way they are but that's not a war you're going to win at the border as they are only brainwashed peons in the whole debacle. Also keep in mind, the security index was probably pretty high in light of the arrests made in Mississauga, 1+ hour from the same border you were trying to cross. I'm sorry you didn't make it to Hunter Mtn, but I wouldn't let this deter you from trying to go back just because of one bad experience.For the record; Someone asked, Canadian guards ARE just as bad. For the record; Dima, you're a fucking custie dick, put the salt away and use a little tact. Edited June 4, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 I'm just looking for some sort of hope here. If it's that easy to be denied access to your freedom of travel, I sure as hell hope that there is at least some way to get it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are in this position, call your MP's office and see if you can arrange to speak to them. at very least, you will get coffee and marginal hospitality, and at best, they can have something like this expunged from your record.just my $0.02.
