Re: Bye-bye Green Card Lottery

But then again, if the DV lottery only accounts for 5% of immigration as it is, why even bother keeping it?

Re: Bye-bye Green Card Lottery

I redacted my apology within the same sentence :D

My own position is more that I don't consider it a great loss if it did go, that's all.

Re: Bye-bye Green Card Lottery

I think Zen10's point, or at least how I saw it, was that currently it is set up that a highly skilled immigrant might be on a visa with no immediate path to permanent residence, whereas someone who...

Me too.

Of course, having already gone through immigration and got citizenship, it's easier for me to agree to a system that probably would have made it harder for me to enter in the first place...

Re: US Homes vs UK Homes

That was a load of shite. Anyone with one eye and half a brain could negotiate their way through the differences between UK and US houses.

Re: GMO Crops, shudder or shrug?

You were just off on a tangent, that's all.

The rest of that, we agree on.

This just happened to ours, actually. We'd only had it just short of four years as well but I guess BoA had made all the money they were going to make off us :D

Re: Army Cadet Hacked to Death in Woolwich, SE London

Good post.



They're two sides of the same coin, IMO. One could say the same thing about two well-known political and criminal organisations a short hop across the water from England.

Re: 10 Things Most Americans Don’t Know About America

Well, yes. I was saying she made the right decision under the circumstances and did her job by neutralising the threat.
