Totes you obviously have reading comprehension issues. What I said was Britney has said repeatedly that the US is an EVIL racist country.

I never said she could not criticize the US even if her views are incorrect she has the right to criticize.

I asked why she would be begging to come back to an "Evil country I know I would not beg to go somewhere I thought was pure evil would you?

Do you comprehend or do i need to rewrite with smaller words?

It is nuts. Some countries have crazier laws where they execute drug traffickers.

Of course it’s crazy but how stupid do you have to be to try to take weed to Russia? And I have dabbled but I wouldn’t attempt to fly with it anywhere. But Russia? And now? I don’t know if this meets the Darwin Awards criteria but if it does then she should be nominated.

IF she wasn't a well-known basketball player, no one would even hear about this.

Actually happens all the time. Carlos Santana tried to slide through the Houston airport with five grams of marijuana on him. It doesn’t seem like the worst crime ever, but the singer was still put on probation. He also had to sing at an anti-drug rally as a part of his deal.

And then there was Paul McCartney of Beatles fame and fortune. In 1980, McCartney was caught in the Tokyo Airport with half a pound of marijuana. McCartney admitted that the drugs were his and he even said he brought them along because drugs are a massive no-no in Japan. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Songstress Dionne Warwick thought she was being coy by sliding a few joints in some of her lipstick containers. When TSA discovered the drugs, Warwick denied everything. In the end, the singer took a plea deal and agreed to dome drug counseling.

In 2008, Snoop Dogg was banned from entering the country of Norway when he was caught trying to bring eight grams of marijuana through the airport.

One of my all-time favorites was when Sylvester Stallone tried to smuggle 48 vials of human growth hormone into Australia during a promotional trip. 48 vials for a quick promotional tour? No need to embalm this dude when he finally checks out.

To name only a very few of the many. And we haven't even got into celebs trying to bring concealed weapons on board.

Wtf are you trying to say.

It’s a different country…one that was under Soviet rule in our lifetime.

You people who live in fantasy land and expect our norms to be accepted everywhere is what’s nuts.

Is this tall black girl hurting your feelings again? Do you have those sudden moments in the night when you realize this world just isn't cooperating with how you think it should all go? Do you toss and turn thinking, what if all sports would just think like me?

Even if she said the US is an evil and racist country (which I can find no proof of), it doesn’t mean she deserves to rot in a Russian prison as a political prisoner.

She definitely doesn't deserve it, people just have a hard time caring about her plight due to her disrespect for our country.

et: most people. There are people in this chat who say she deserves it, and they're just wrong imo.

Me neither, but apparently it’s happened repeatedly. I guess I just don’t know where to look.
