"I consider the act absolutely brutal, threatening human rights, violating human dignity, xenophobic and worthy of the worst horrors committed by the Nazis." -- Brazilian Federal Judge Julier Sebastiao da Silva, as reported by Reuters.
What is this Brazilian judge so upset about? He is upset that Brazilians who want to obtain a visa to enter the United States will need to be fingerprinted and photographed first. As retaliation, he has lowered himself to committing acts "worthy of the worst horrors committed by the Nazis", and ordered that any Americans wanting to enter Brazil receive the same "absolutely brutal" treatment.
Oh the humanity.

Well, coming from a country that just banned virtually all civilian ownership of firearms, who is acting more like the Nazi's? And can we ban the word xenophobic. I'm so sick of that word and it seems the ones who toss it around have no idea what it means. If we were xenophobic towards Brazilians, then we would just disallow all visa's.

Then take several slow, deep breaths, and pour a glass of sherry. (No, not for you, for me. You can have whatever you like.)
Happy New Year, Rave!
