Re: asians having an easier time gettin work in the States?

Ok, thanks snowbunny; I was aware of the different usage but I presume many are not. My point, which seems to have been either deliberately misunderstood by some, was that the current immigration...

Re: asians having an easier time gettin work in the States?

Oh God you are an annoying little man. A person can cite a demographic fact and he is instantly a racist. People like you are like the old Soviet apparatchiks, only they didn't use advice forums to...

Re: asians having an easier time gettin work in the States?

Why do you put Asians in quotation marks? I'm bewildered. Of those coming into the US on work visas then many will be on H-1Bs, yes. I referred to the family visas.

More broadly, there is a...

Re: asians having an easier time gettin work in the States?

They come in on family visas, which obviously has a cascading effect. Not that many Brits have large families in the US. This system was threatened when McCain/Kennedy proposed a points system for US...

Re: Thinking about Emigrating to Perth WA

I only highlight errors on two occasions. First, when the person highlights one of my mistakes, second, if the person is a teacher whose responsibility is to inform our children. In this case I have...

Re: Falklands Again?

I was misinformed John - it's 60 billion barrels, or 90 years of oil. Australia needs the oil badly. Banning mining companies from exploring Antarctica is idiotic.

Re: Falklands Again?

I did simplify two of the three basic positions. I didn't go into structuralism because it's much more complicated.

Re: Falklands Again?

It's interesting you say that because most realists were against the Iraq war, as they did not buy the story about WMD. The humaniatarian argument made by the Bush administration was pretty mych a...

Re: Happens Down Under too...

Yes, it's total rubbish. They were traacked down in the north of England. They could not get into Australia becasuse of their serious convictions.

Re: Falklands Again?

States will always go to war over limited resources. To a realist there is only "the real world". A liberal would argue that an ethical foreign policy is possible, and the tradition they claim goes...

Re: Falklands Again?

Hello brits

You seem quite aggressive but I'm not sure we disagree really. In the world of international politics I am what is called a realist, which is a theoretical position in opposition to...

Re: Falklands Again?

I'm not a peak-oiler, as it happens, but I appreciate oil will only be more valuable in the future until other forms of energy replace it. If there really is 90 years of oil in the Falklands,...

Re: Falklands Again?

Not sure I understand what you're getting at here, tbh. I'm making the point that states go to war over resources not people. What point are you making?

Creepy - what the hell is positive about...

Re: The UK economy - in trouble ?

Lag effect is a really good point and one that can be extended to QE, in my view at least. Depending on which hypothesis you buy into money printing can take 18 - 24 months before its effects hit the...

Re: Job opportunity in South Australia

No worries. What they're looking for really, you see, is an Australian address and of course the right to work.

Re: Falklands Again?

Falklands has 60 million barrels of oil. British comsumption is 1.82 million barrels per day. So Falkland Islands has 32 days' oil.

I don't know - do you go to war over 32 days of oil? You...

Hello

I notice you haven't made many posts, so I presume you're fairly new to Expats. Sadly, you will have to get used to posts like the above, but on the whole you will find most people here are...

Re: The UK economy - in trouble ?

We all know that Aus is booming and the UK is bankrupt though, so there's no need to mention it really. In fact as the UK borrows £500 million pounds a day to stay afloat, it's now £31,250,000 more...

Re: The UK economy - in trouble ?

House prices are not going up. A tiny fraction of cash-sales at the top of the ladder are allowing the government to make the technical claim that houses are "up". I have been monitoring the same few...
