Besides Nazi Germany, when did this slippery slope ever actually happen. For anything.

(Now be honest. Anything less than whipping out your sidearm will disappoint me.)


The law has been rescinded.

It was illegal and always was.

And you can bet Matthew Broderick's Jewish Ass that it better not happen again.

In 1999 I had to be finger printed in Japan to receive my ARC.
Then, in 2001 (I think it was) they stopped.

Looks like the govt (Koizumi wanted it to contue apparantly) has started fingerprinting foreigners again.

I think all the serious crimes committed by the Chinese in Japan have spurred the government to take such measures. But instead of just targeting the Chinese, they decided to apply finger printing to all foreigners.

When I was finger printed, it didn't bother me at all actually.

That's because you're rational and not prone to paniced outbursts of paranoia about Big Brother and the global conspiracy that's afoot to track your bathroom habits. Welcome to the Smart People Club. Grab a chair, today's topic of amusement is all the conspiracy nuts who think that Bush is being backed by Alien Cows from Planet X all funded by a clandistine oil conglomerate that seeks to flood the world with alien-enhanced vaseline that sucks us of our will to reject crappy reality tv shows. It's totally true man.

How else can you explain Average Joe 4? That's how they get you. First it's your finger prints, then the next thing you know you're watching Xtreme Toenail Clipping at 4 in the morning surrounded by boxes of cubic zerconia kleenex cozies.

Morons.
