why on earth do these people think anyone cares what they do - so full of self importance !!

Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.

Boris is remarkably immature for a 42 year old.

[subterfuge]

How did it write this on August 12th, 2006, two days from now?

[InABunkerUnderSF]

One down, about 30 million to go. If only all the loony left would follow his example. I'd even be willing to see my tax dollars used for their transportation.

Adios Boris.

[GSlob]

Well, as long as it is not being done to escape the outstanding obligations [say, some tax liabilities incurred but not yet paid] - let him renounce his citizenship - not in newspaper, though, but before a consular official.

[EagleUSA]

Maybe slightly OT, but I have NEVER believed in multiple citizenships. Under no circumstances.

So ... did anybody bother to read the article?

Boris is having a go at the - apparently moronic - American rules for passenger transit. He loves America. But a thousand kneejerk Freepers just put their fingers in their ears.

[liberty_lvr]

Jeez, what a grandstanding drama queen.

Emphasis on queen.

Just leave already and quit boring the rest of us to death. Like anybody cares this little pansy was inconvenienced by INS during his worldly travels.

[LexBaird]

Hey, a Brit twit opus. Don't worry, Boris. We've got an ample supply of self-important authors right here. You were superfluous.

[Dionysius]

Anybody have a picture of this dung-sack? I like to know and see whom I despise.

[Chi-townChief]

Feel free to stay away as long as you like, Boris. In fact, don't come back at all and we'll all be better off.

[IronJack]

You renounce your citizenship because of an airport snafu? Are you sure your parents aren't French?

Do not deign to bore us, Boris. Make good use of the exit door-us.

[Slings and Arrows]

Get to work, dickweed.

[Popocatapetl]

I do believe that giving up US citizenship should be much, much easier. And I believe that we would all benefit if we tried to persuade our congressmen of that idea.

It should be as easy as an uncontested divorce.

There are only four things that can be quickly proven, that should in any way slow the process down.

1) Criminal conviction or evasion of a felony charge.
2) Tax evasion or attempted money laundering.
3) Espionage or intent to violate US law after departure.
4) Unwillingness of another country to grant citizenship.

On average, perhaps one or two hundred thousand American citizens would each year exercise their option to leave for good. And *this* is the important part.

Almost all of them are kooks, freaks, the mentally ill and moonbats. Good riddance!

Many of them are deserving enough to get a free one-way ticket out.

[mollynme]

the huge potential benefits my children will now never have.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but since his children were born to an American citizen, aren't they also US citizens by default?

Buh-bye, phallus-cranium.
