Basically and by proxy, the US government is saying, "How dare you even leave our country founded by our Lord and Savior for a millisecond? You're supposed to be God's chosen chattel! If it weren't for NATO and the UN, we wouldn't even issue US passports to our citizens unless they were part of the Illuminati/elitists. So in lieu of NOT getting a return on investment from you SINCE you're leaving, we'll show you!...by not helping you once you leave our Christian borders. Godspeed abroad, you little creetan!"kai1275 wrote:Stay out of FW personal issues. Getting involved while abroad, can get you deported, beaten, and killed. Especially if you are in Asia. That is a man's world. Stay the f**k out of grown men's business while in Asia. If that woman is getting beat or killed, let someone else handle that. Stay out of that mess. Especially if you cannot speak the native language.
You don't want to be that idiot someone from the US embassy came to visit in jail, only to tell you that, "The US does not know you anymore and you are on your own. Oh yeah, here is a few lawyers you can call that might know English. Good luck."
First rule of traveling in Asia should always be: Mind your own damn business.
Nosy white neighbor stuff is for America and the West. You have been warned.
Unless you plan to repatriate back to America (which I'm living proof of) only to have your current passport bulletholed up and you have to reapply for it again with the F-chip in it; that's the only time they give you money is to pay for you to come back to America only to have a lien on you getting a new passport until it's paid off (depending on the cost of the one-way PER-DIEM cost of the plane ticket).
When I leave the US of Gay again, I will flip the bird "with 8 gold rings on my fingers like Shabba-Shabba Ranks!"
