I actually have a very good memory for some things, eg phone numbers since 5 years old but there are tons of things I can't recall like people I worked with even when they remember me and remind me it takes me quite a while to click. Addresses, too many and I don't care. What does this even prove? That only people with good memories can have a passport? Even if they go and check all these supervisors and such what if they have bad memories and can't remember the passport applicant? What is to say they're going to be co-operative or even care? The whole exercise is stupid.
Though part of me does think that the more Americans that have to stay away from other countries may not be such a bad thing but somehow I don't think this will apply to the military. :pinkelephant:
In the USA, I am officially denied my credit history [in order to correct or challenge it] as I can not remember all the addresses I lived....they know this because they already have this data...when I don't produce 100% correctly, my credit history is denied. I have, due to poverty, persecution and forced movement by the police and intelligence agencies, death threats and years of homelessness [camping if not in my car] to move in my life over 100 times..maybe more like 200...and they expect me to memorize them...?! 'They' also confiscated all of my personal records which might have contained some. Fuck the USA.:flypig: Fuck Corporate Fascism. [same thing]
