Tip 1: Dont call yourself a communist in public.
Re: Communist invasion of new York
Remember to tell every italian street toughs you see that you think his sister is attractive. Use of slang is preferable. I hear they really love that stuff.
EDIT: Oh, and don't wear the ribbon if you don't feel like it. It's optional.

Get inside the Central Park once your lungs start rejecting the toxic vapor that passes for air elsewhere in the city. Central Park is an oasis in that desert.Originally Posted by Idaho

Re: Communist invasion of new York
NYC is a big city with all that that entails.
Some of the best pubs in the USA, Broadway shows, Statue of Liberty, all of the odd/intriguing venues down in Greenwich village, history stuff scattered from the battery to Harlem, The Apollo theater....and all of that without leaving Manhattan (except for the ferry trip to liberty).

Anyway, NYC air is much better than whatever you breath in Chicago or whatever Midwestern village you're based in.

No you can't dispute the freshness of Chicago air. It constantly refreshes at the brisk rate of 50 mph straight off the great lake.

I don't know much about NYC, Idaho, but it seems to me as long as you badmouth Chicago pizza and Boston Red Sox baseball, you will fit right in.

Re: Communist invasion of new York
When I went to Atlanta I went to a gun range, hired a machine gun and spent an entertaining hour shooting holes in a person shaped picture. But it turns out that in pinko fag new York I am not allowed to do the same. Outrageous infringement of my civil rights.

Now that you have gotten a taste of freedom, the UK prob wont let you back.
Re: Communist invasion of new York
The main obstacle to getting in and out of the US is your dreadful immigration authorities. Richest country in the world and you have a system that is high in box ticking bureaucracy and time wasting and low on actually getting people out the airport and on with there lives.

Isn't that the guy who uses knife and fork to eat pizza? Any opinion he has is thus automatically rendered invalid. Stupid barbarian.

A self-proclaim communist comes to the US to learn how the shoot a machine gun. Don't know why they'd put you in the "slow" line.

Re: Communist invasion of new York
They put *everyone* in the slow lane. And then ask a bunch of pointless questions which don't in any way expose my commie gun toting self.
If the system was slow but methodical and meaningful, that would be fine. But it's slow and pointless.
I had a good discussion about state healthcare with some Americans. I think I converted them to our evil pinko ways.

Sounds typical. US government bureaucracy = slow and pointless.

You should be comforted by the knowledge that the TSA people hate everyone equally.

Re: Communist invasion of new York
There is a fast lane actually for "pre-check" passengers. I got in that line last time we flew, though my wife had to go in the slow line. I must have gotten in it via the random factor (you can sign up for it apparently) - there was something extra printed on my boarding pass. It was great. No one was in the line and I didn't have to remove my shoes or belt or take my laptop out of the bag. In and out like the wind. Then I had to wait on the other side for my wife.

That's surprising for a government product.
Fortunately none. She didn't look happy when she finally got through but that was directed more towards the annoyance of the experience.
