A Brazilian judge has announced that US citizens will be fingerprinted and photographed on entering the country.
Judge Julier Sebastiao da Silva was reacting to US plans to do the same to Brazilians entering the United States.
"I consider the act absolutely brutal, threatening human rights, violating human dignity, xenophobic and worthy of the worst horrors committed by the Nazis," Federal Judge Julier Sebastiao da Silva said in the court order.
1. Fingerprinting and taking a picture of people as they enter the country is equal to the Nazi atrocities.
2. Since the US is doing such horrific things to people, we ought to as well. Nevermind the fact that we just said it was the worst human rights abuse possible.
There is no expressing how outraged I am at comments such as this. That a man in such a high position would dare make such a comparison is sickening. Furthermore, the comment is allowed to slide, as if it were an appropriate description. I guess the BBC was afraid of seeming biased.
This sort of incomprehensible statement is just one more piece of evidence pointing to a global rise in Anti-Semitism.
We are not educated enough about the Holocaust. There is a bit taught in schools, and we all "know" it was bad, but we don't understand the true extent. Pictures such as these need to be shown to all kids in high school. And no disclaimer here, if you're old enough and interested enough to read my webpage, I'm not apologizing for the graphic nature.

That Brazilian judge who demands that American must be fingerprinted at entering Brasil represents the worst of that hypocritical-chauvinistic-racist and, mostly, reactive third world stiff upper lip mentality which is a cancerous part of the ( well to do...)Brazilian ego vis-a-vis not only the United States but to to the world at large.
The Unites States, a country which is going down the drain, is paranoic, manipulated as it is by those playing with deadly politics of deceit and globalized exploitation; a country that after Sept.11 has gone beserk and is enforcing fingerprinting for security reasons. Meanwhile, Rio de Janeiro and Brazil at large will feel the bite in its pockets when tourists etc...will decide that is not worthwhile to visit, to wait for four hours at being fingerprinted when visiting a land of exploitative landlords, hypocritical-racist middle class and feudal show off upper class that demands to be the center of attention of the world, a country where police is a misnomer, a cruel joke...
Fingerprints the landlords and exploiters of the Brazilian people, stupid judge!

Wake up, Brasil. Stop that childishness at reacting as a colonial mind to the Americans who, unlike Brazil, have their bloody reason to be paranoic since Sept 11. The Americans are right in what they are doing at fingerprinting visitors from certain countries. Brazilians are well-known for abusing the immigration system in the United States. Brazilians in general are masters at cheating the legal system wherever they go. So shut up, Brazilians, and, if you don't want to destroy the tourist business in Rio de Janeiro and in others brazilian cities leave the Americans alone, when they arrive in Brazi's points of entry. The United States is a pain in de ass kind of country. But Brazil's bureaucracy and childish sense of inferiority-superiority towards the United States, Canada, the ECM ( Brazilians are programmed to react to extremes...) is the laughing stock of the internacional scene.
Grow up Brazil!
