Great find charlie. Pretty interesting read! I am not up to speed on the IMBRA laws, but it seems to benefit the ladies more than anything. I have nothing to hide and have never sat in the back of a Police car, so I am not to concerned. Now if there is an extended wait because of these laws, then lets get together and do something about it. Can anyone outline the negatives of these laws? If you can make a good point, I will gladly write my congressman and do my part!

Nice addition charlie. What lame asses, I can't believe the way they depict men in that article! Lame ass senator from where Kansas! He is probalby fat and his wife has his nut sack in her purse! He is definitely seeking the approval of women in his political carreer! That is why I can't be a politician, I am a mellow cool guy, but still don't like having to appeal to the world of American feminists to be who I want to be!

Unfortunately, it makes using an agency even less attractive to meet that special girl, and I mean no offense to the agencies, by saying that!

By the way the poor guy in the article, sounds like a good man to me, too bad he is getting the short end of a bad law!

Nice article CHARLIE and feel sorry for this guy....
I completely agree with you LL it`s like some people sale themself to be what they wanna be.....And the statistics that they give in the article are based on how many people???
I don`t know if it`s similar here in CANADA; hope I won`t be screwed by this if I go live in USA and marry a colombiana or cubana or whatever as a canadian living in the states....

I think this guy will have his fiancee here soon. I got mine in a similar time period as him and my fiancee is filling out her packet from the embassy right now.
