I usually fly out of the country every other year to Europe and I will have to say that the US Customs are hands down the biggest dicks. Not only are they mean and grouchy, they attempt to ruin your vacation by making you open your luggage and go through your belongings. When the plane lands, let me pick up my luggage and go home.

No I'm not confused. They are dicks. This crap never happens in Europe plus they are somewhat friendly there. These guys in the US take bitter and angry to a new level.

Sorry i dont wanna insult the european defender, but shut up dude.

I hope you come through NY so i can make you empty every baggage you have. The reason they dont do that in Europe b/c no one wants to blow up your country. I mean come on now. Europe is like one big moronic state that no one really cares whats going on.

And the best part is, when someone does blow up something in your area, you'll be the first to blame the people who dont check your bags. You're one of those people that wants law enforcement to stop things before they happen, but doesnt wanna go through checkpoints/bag searches.

Liberal idiot.


Matt


PS

I am typing this and i remembered someone wanted to move to the NEast for customs at the 12 level??? I thought it was only odd numbers. Anyway PM me.

the 'customs' in England were a bunch of pricks. bitter and angry, yes they were. the US Customs agents i ran into were all pretty cool.
Me walking up to the counter: "Ahhh after 5 weeks it is nice to be back home!"
Customs agent: <smiles> "Well, let me be the first to welcome you back!"

Looks like Matt is just another idiot throwing around generalizations. Reminds me of Texmaster.

If you don't enjoy being searched at customs you must be a liberal.....right?

You're a dumbass.

Nobody likes being hassled, and nobody really likes hassling people either. The good agents I have talked to in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada manage to be polite, so long as YOU are polite, even when going through all your stuff.
Just be patient and polite, and it will go easier for you in any country. after all, how many total asses do these "defenders of the border" have to put up with each day? You may talk to two or three, tops, and they get to see thousands.
Congratulations on your new job, Matt. Don't bust any cojones needlessly;)

The customs guys in Italy stole over 2000 dollars worth of camera equipment from my dad. That doesn't sound like "somewhat friendly"... unless you and I have very different definitions of being friendly.

"Is THIS what the forums have degenerated to?
My sources point to........DISAPPOINTMENT."

Seems like it. But keep in mind in order to be conservative, you have to complain a lot and maintain a level angerness. Some liberals are the same way...but those symptions (conditions?) are seemingly much more prevelant among conservatives.

I used to be the exact same way though my late 20's while I was a conservative. Then I decided I wanted to be more happy and have become a moderate. :)
