Re: Replacement Green Card
Of course, but it's annoying that I have to pay $200 for a replacement Residency Card, and by the time it arrives, I'll be in the process of paying another fee for the filing of removal of...

Replacement Green Card
Earlier in the year, I lost my wallet which contained my Permanent Residency Card.

Re: British culture in LA?
I have absolutely no desire to meet any English people! Sorry if I gave the wrong impression. I wasn't suggesting that I couldn't find them, just that they stay very localised. I know exactly where...

Re: British culture in LA?
My point is simply that for all the talk of Los Angeles being chock full of British expats, unless you live in a handful of very select neighbourhoods, you'll never see any of them.

Re: British culture in LA?
There's supposed to be some crazy and quite unbelievable number of Brits in L.A. From what I can make out, the vast majority of them are, just like you, holed up in Santa Monica or similarly...

Re: British govt. consider hardcore porn ban
Good gawd, I was asking from a philosophical viewpoint (jurisprudence, if you will), and was clearly not suggesting that it is morally okay to go around raping children, filming it and selling the...

Re: Where the Hell is Bush?
There's nothing condescending about it at all. She's just pointing out the bizarre anomaly that those that suffer the most under conservative governments are often the biggest supporters of those...

Re: Where the Hell is Bush?
Trying to pass the buck and say it's a state issue, not a federal one, is, at this point, nothing more than a legal technicality. Bush, though he has little moral sense, should show enough political...

Re: British govt. consider hardcore porn ban

Re: British govt. consider hardcore porn ban
Due to the banal crap at the cinema of late I've been exploring Italian exploitation films of the 1970's the last few months. On the whole, they are very amateurish, with erratic scripts, laughably...

Re: F-word all right in U.K. school
When I was a teacher in secondary schools in the UK I had no problem at all with the kids in my class swearing. 9 times out of 10 they are doing to shock you and test your reaction. After the first...

Re: British govt. consider hardcore porn ban

Research done by the Scottish parliament shows that the average man is convicted of murder at 18 and serves an...
