Is There a Job That "Requires" You to Travel? Enough Money to Travel the World?
I'm still really young (lets just say under 18 ha), let me say that first, but ever since I discovered all the continents in the 3rd grade, I've wanted to travel the world. I am extremely interested in art, and that's pretty much any branch of art there is. I really am not sure what I want to be when I get older, but I do know I love art, cooking, traveling, and discovering new things/places. I love geography too. Is there any jobs that fit one of these areas that you sorta have to travel a lot to get? Does it take a lot to travel the world? I really want to see the landmarks of the world, mostly Europe, the all the states in America, some parts of Asia and Africa, and Australia. Its a lot of places. I'm really interested with ancient ruins and stuff like that. I love the outdoors, like camping and mountain climbing, etc. I love to go sightseeing. As of right now, my family hardly travels. I live in the United States, in Michigan, and I have seriously only been to Illinois and Ohio. I don't expect to make all this money so fast, and I understand it will be many many years or more that I could actually travel a lot, even after I get a job. Like I said I'm really young to decide all this, but it's really what I want to do when older. It it really possible to get a job to suit traveling and save enough money to do it? (BTW, there are currently 62 countries I'd like to see, even though I know about 10 of them I probably couldn't) What do you think?

I now know why people around the world hate or pity the United States...?
I now know why people around the world hate or pity the United States...?
After quite a log time out of the US and in Japan, I come to realize why our nation is always criticized by other countries and I agree with them now. I used to think that the US was always criticized because we where a better nation of the world and that others "envied" or way of life, but that turned out to be really ignorant of me. I'll get to the point, after spending 2 years I japan I realized how inferior the US has gotten over the years, I see how we are manipulated by the media and its effect on our lives, the media seems perverted to me now and unwatchable. I see how education system in our country is so bad and disgusting in terms of standards compared to the rest of civilization. I now see how our government is so corrupt and driven by money and power instead of trying to rally make an effort in making a better society which has great potential. I would not expect you guys to understand me cuase if you did we would not be in this mess we are in now. America needs to wake-up A lot of people here are driven fear, ignorance or just plain stupidity. It makes me sick to see some of you discuss the topic of immigration for example. Some of you refer to these "illegal immigrants" as some sort of sub-human creatures who are stupid and disease ridden parasites. And who are here to take away our culture...what culture are they taking away? People seem to care more if Britney Spears has no panties over our education system and our nations problems. You lable these people as monsters, wetbacks, monkey and whole other load of crap. How many times do we have to go thru this we did the same to the black people the irish, chinese, japanese, german and so called "communist" people. not to mention the native americans sure some of us were not involved in these things but history is repeating itself again with "illegal immigrants". Some of you call yourself patriots or "real" citizens but in reality you are nothing but puppets of your ignorance and lack of knowledge... why are some of you so angry? I was born here and i want to do my part in making my home a better place. Its not how you react to problems which is what most of us do ie. ranting, bashing, complain, and just play victims here. We need to take resposibility for our own lives and make this place a better place for us and our future children. Its not about reacting to a problem its about responding to it, let us not make the same mistakes again. Am I wrong I only state the obvious I know the truth hurts, but no one ever said life has to be effortless it takes work. America seems to want things the easy way at the expense of others. How hard is it to treat other as you would like to be treated? Im only 19 years old and I still have much to learn but this is common sense to those who really care... Im only one person but that does not mean that I dont anything for our nation. I try to be a good citizen by voluntering at schools or just buying and donating some cans of food for our fire victims. It just comes down to caring for others. so i play my part as being a good human and a good "citizen". I dont want to judge anyone I just want to atleast educate them a litle here on this forum. I think I earned that right, cause im not sitting here just "moaning" or "ranting" like some of you said. Like I said I dont play the vicitim, I am what I am and I learn from my mistakes. How does caring make me a "liberal" or "hippie". This just proves my point about some of your lack of understanding and ignorance. But I still wish you the best and maybe you will understand one day... The only thing that I will admit to not doing and something that I wont do, is voting for president. Why? because I dont think this system works, because it seems that the one that "looks best" or the one with the most funds wins. For something so important i cant belive that people arent really researching the candidates. But I guess we prefer to just play victims and just rant nonsense instead. I actually know what to expect from each of candidates in terms of their credentials their past decisions and the origins of some of their funding. Do you know this stuff for your candidate? I mention funding twice because like I said the one the most money seems to win just check how much money these candidates have obtained compared to previous campaigns. Do you know where the money comes from? They get it from certain companies or organizations that want the support of that particular candidate... do you really think that the president will "bite the hand that fed them to where they are?" To clint, your excuse is so childish, first of all I never said that I prefer one country over another. second, the fact that some other countries treat illegal immigrants badly does not mean that we are entitled to do the same its really pathetic. I wouldnt be surprised if the population of "illegals" was over 25 million by now... it does not make sense logically and economically to "kick" them all out. we need to fix the issue like intelligent people and learn to make compromises. Most of these people pay taxes there is proof of that research it and just as many cant get their tax back for obvious reasons. WAKE-UP CLINT, Im not comparing countries I never did, Also my country is the United States I dont care right now what other countries have as policies, stick it inyour head already. I have every right to criticise this country and its problems as this is my country and my home. Getting a visa is not as easy at it seems otherwise these poeple would be trying to use them. Some of these dont meet the requirement cause theiy a really poor and most dont have a proper residence. You need to learn to stop labeling these people, to say that illegal hispanics have a lot less respect for the average american is just plain igonorant and retarded. I know who LA RAZA is, there are etremists in all societies to bring them up, just proves what you are all about. Not all of these people are "saints" most of us arent. Most of these people have good intetntions to state otherwise is foolish. Because now were are digging into human nature, if it was like you said this world would long over.. Clint, Im not insulting you, just as you refer to my comments as stupid I refer to some of yours a silly or retarded. Your lastest comment seemed choppy and a little hard to understand, but firgured out some of them. Again, I never compared any nations I dont care if its mexico or India and their respective policies. Its not relevant in any way, its about the people. Some of these people have no future back at their native countries no real chances to excel for whatever reasons. Meaning that a visa is out of the question for them anyway, they are here to build new lives. thats why there are more than 12-19 million of them. Your comments on LA RAZA did not make much sense the fact that they almost never appear in the news or the fact that they dont even register as 1/100 of a percent of the illegal population really makes them irrelevant. To label a whole people because group is to really label white people as the KKK or black people as Black Panthers, which is "stupid" itself... To compare "illegal immigration" to burglars does not really make sense. Because it involves 12-19 million people in a special circumstance tied to a single issue. Im going to state my idea on the overall topic... It just isn't logical or economically sane to essentially kick all of them out. Yeah the laws that we have are good ones but they dont really work anymore. I recommend a barrier with advanced reconassance technology in the southern border both to keep integrity of the border and to avoid uwanted deaths I belive that the people already here be given a special chance and to allow them to get on their feet. If they are capable of being a good citizen then allow them to stay. They can pay a fine for the transition... its ok. If some are bad individuals then we need to analyze them and deicide to send them back. Its about making a humane decision in how we are going to carry this out. Big difference from a gang banger, or just coming over because of necessity. Whats wrong with the above proposition? most of the people who declined something similar to this never really had a good responce and there isnt, because most of them were fueled by hate. When I asked how exactly they were personally were affected by the problem the just began to repeat the same rants again... which lead me to belive and it is widely accepted now, with history as proof that they just were ignorant and had "fear of the unknown" which feeds this type of activity. Sure I may not have all the knowledge in the world but i have an open enough mind to see whats going on. I dont dwell on on the topic of illegal immigration day and night do you think about and be honest to yourself. do you really know whats going on? Or is it all feelings or just biased junk from the radio. You see I research things to find out the "truth" not to justify my emotions on the matter. Read the las sentence again try to understand it. Im sorry if I insulted you in any way but its frustrating...

i agree with you. i have never been out of this country, but i have realised how america lacks morals. we sadly dwell on the lifes of celebrities who are only human and make mistakes as we do, and talk more about these people then stuff that is actually important. it is rediculous. we use sex to sell everything or just to make a shows get better ratings and it works. i see what you are saying.

And just what are you doing to improve the situation? Whining doesn't do it. Exaggerating doesn't help. Are you contributing anything toward your country, other than the usual liberal moaning and groaning? While you're complaining, conservatives at home are working to make things better. Meanwhile, it's business as usual with the doom and gloom crowd.

I so agree with you. This country is in the midst of an ancient Rome revival. Our morals are in the gutter and the Clinton years only compounded our demon image before the world. I don't understand why so many among us don't get that. Though I haven't studied it firsthand, I have always heard that the 'Roaring Twenties' were similarly effected by moral ineptitude. With that in mind, my only hope for this nation is that we will again see a correction - soon - though I know that will not happen if Hillary takes office and continues pushing her anti-family values upon our youth. I understand why so many follow her because she makes their own broken lives seem 'normal,' but it is past time that we stopped trying to condone our own failures and returned to ensuring our children don't make the same mistakes.
10 :
It seems to me that the real problem with America is that no matter what the issue, instead of searching for solutions, people consistently push their own agendas.
11 :
I agreed with you until you came to you point about illegal immigrants. How can you say America is treating Illegal immigrants worse than other countries? The Australian Navy turns boats away or even sinks them, as soon as any are found they are locked up. The European citizens have lots of problems with asylum seekers and illegal immigrants, they don't welcome people with open arms but are complaining to the same extent as Americans do. It's wrong to criticise one country for doing what the majority is of the world is doing. Most Countries welcome people who have emigrated legally but also you can't expect countries to welcome people who have broken laws, when laws were made easier for these people, by either sheer laziness or a complete disrespect for the country. Japan's ethnic Korean community, who are required to register as aliens even if their ancestors have lived in Japan for generations. Have you read the Japanese government report on immigration, Immigration Battle Diary? It concludes that the Japanese do not like foreigners and that increasing immigration would be a bad thing. The number of actual immigrants is around 1.55 million or just over 1% of the total population, compare that to the USA with 20 million illegal Mexicans alone. The total number of known illegal immigrants is closer to the 30 million mark or 10% of the population if you added around 2% for legal immigrants a year then the immigration problem in the USA is a lot different to Japan. Edit ---- I wasn't making excuses but to say living in Japan you see problem in America, well everywhere has the same problems so to criticise one country above all other when they all do it is stupid. You state that living in Japan you see these problems and yet Japan is one of the most xenophobic countries around. Why should people give to criminals? I don't here you saying that people should forgive burglars since they just want a better life. Illegal immigrants jump to the front of the queue over people who filling in the forms and wait. A H2B (temporary unskilled worker visa) only has a processing time of 15 days. Most Mexicans pay more than the $500 processing fee to just gat to the border and cross illegally. Illegal immigrants pay very little taxes, they are illegal and work cash in hand so how many report these earnings. For there little taxes they pay they receive free schooling, food vouchers, free hospital care (most are not insured and simply don't pay any medical bills) so how do they benefit America? Picking fruit, only 20% of fruit picker are illegal immigrants. To say that the people treat them as sub human not correct for most people. The illegal Hispanics have a lot less respect for the average American. Have you ever looked into what La Raza stands for? It wants an ethnic cleansing of the south west USA. Oh and you criticise other people for name calling yet you're happy to call me childish and pathetic. Edit ----- You have every right to criticise your country or any country, but expect people to have different opinions. What you don't have the right is to put down a country and say it's citizens treat people evilly without comparing it to others and pointing out just how common this is. How does Mexico treat its illegal immigrants? I do know the process, a lot better than you do it seems, as I've been through it. It's not complicated. You fill in three forms, send off money and wait for an interview. As for people not qualifying for visa, that's complete BS and you know it. There are around 20 different types of visa at the moment to cover anything from a doctor to a fruit picker. If someone isn't qualified to pick fruit do you really expect him to get work in the USA? As for being really poor the average Illegal pays around $2500 for a guide to help them cross the boarder compared to $500 processing fee to do it legal. Bring up La Raza is a valid point as they are the spokes group currently that most people see regarding illegal immigrants. The fact most people see illegal immigrants as Hispanics is that over 20 million are from Mexico with around 4 million from everywhere else. Now since La Raza, as the spokes people for illegal immigrants, do not respect the average American, or do you call banners with decapitated heads being very respectful, they have to be counted as the majority of illegal immigrants are not respectful to Americans. Plus anyone who openly breaks the law cannot be respectful to that country. You argument that they are respectful doesn't make sense, would you also say a burglar is respectful of the homeowner he robbed if he wiped his feet on the doormat? If the world was like I wanted it there would be no crime. If the world was like you wanted it the streets would be full of looters. Again I haven't called you any names, but you still continue to insult me. That proves that you have no valid arguments or cannot prove mine to be wrong and are trying to undermined my opinion by calling me names. Edit --- I probably agree with you on most points and believe that you are an intelligent person, but I will refer to my main objection again. It is wrong to state that Americans treat illegal aliens as sub-human creatures who are stupid and disease ridden parasites. Americans tend to treat their illegal aliens better then most countries do. Just because someone in one country doesn't have a lot of opportunities doesn't mean they can't get a Visa. Like I pointed out, and seems to be ignored by pro illegal’s, the American government increased the number of visa and the requirement to get them. The H2A and the H2B do not require any skills since they are the unskilled visas for seasonal work, which my understanding is what most illegal’s seem to state they do. Since the American government has bent over backwards to enable these people to be able to get Visas for America why don't they at least try to become legal? Since you state that you've research this topic you will be aware that the average cost of an illegal to enter the USA is around $2500, that’s a lot more than the $500 processing fee. If they can spend $2000 more to become illegal how can they state that they can't afford the processing fee? Most people’s argument for illegal immigrants is that they are simply in American to improve there lives. I see a lot of similarity between illegal’s and burglars. - Both are criminals, whether you like it or not that is a fact. - Both have illegally enter the place where they commit there crime. - Both use the excuse that they only do it to financially aid there families. - Both pay the same rate of tax. - High rate of either of them and people start to move away. Whether this is right or wrong it does happen, changing the local communities for ever. I do agree that La Raza don't represent all illegal aliens and even put that myself but they are the most vocal group. When ever the news has a report on illegal immigration the two sides are usually minute men, who are even smaller percentage of the population, against a person from either La Raza or an associated group. I'll put my response to your opinions on the topic. The laws don't work because they are not enforced, if they were enforced, as has been shown in areas on the AZ boarders they have reduced the number of illegal’s crossing by 1000's. Agreed a barrier has been proven to reduce migration if built correctly and well guarded. The Berlin wall had 5000 people successfully illegally cross it in 20 years, this proved that it can work. If someone is capable of landing on there feet they are also capable of obtaining a visa to do so. You want a fine, how about $500 and a piece of paper that has the words Visa written on it. This still isn't fair on the people who wait and do things legally, you are rewarding people for breaking the law, it's a bit like giving a burglar a playstation to stop him stealing, I don't believe that criminals should be rewarded. However if someone is illegal how would the government keep an eye on them, they are already failing to do so and have no idea where most of the illegal’s are. How is this about making a humane decision in how we are going to carry this out? Are you worried about splitting a family up? If one partner is an American citizen then why haven't they applied for a K3 visa? If they are both illegal’s then the whole family should be ship out. The law needs changing to stop these loop holes that could separate families. Mexico Unemployment rate is low so it's not lack of jobs or opportunity, it's purely financial gain. If some was coming over due to necessity then they could do so legally and would be welcomed, why do they have to do so illegally? I agree that most illegals aren't gangsters but statistics do show that areas of high illegal aliens also have high crime rates. I too have research the topic and also looked at the problem within several countries. My opinions do not come from the radio but looking at patterns within these countries and how they deal with immigration. The simple facts are that throughout history there as been illegal immigration and it usually has bad effect on the country. Legal immigration usually has a positive effect. A simply question that I would like your opinion on. Should America prioritize looking after its current citizens above dealing with the illegal immigrant’s situation? Things like employee rights (like paid maternity, can't be fired for being sick, minimum required holidays, etc), Free health care for children under 18, etc.

You have a good perspective from having lived outside the US, however, because you're young, you lack historical perspective. The US has changed greatly over the last 10 years. The country is being run by people who mainly care about winning the next election, and who constantly manipulate people's emotions through inflammatory rhetoric and disinformation. "Illegal immigration" was not the major issue it is now until mid 2006 when the Republican party decided to appeal to its base with draconian proposals. They ramped up the natural backlash against foreigners into a frenzy of hate and then they couldn't put the genie back into the bottle in time to pass a somewhat reasonable immigration reform bill. You seem to be on a good track of thinking for yourself, but I hope you decide to vote in the presidential election. If there's one thing for certain, it really matters who the US president is. As for the people on this board, many are paid partisans or campaign volunteers, several are astro turfers. So the opinions many posters "express" are not for real and are far more extreme than the real opinions of real people.

I so agree with you. This country is in the midst of an ancient Rome revival. Our morals are in the gutter and the Clinton years only compounded our demon image before the world. I don't understand why so many among us don't get that. Though I haven't studied it firsthand, I have always heard that the 'Roaring Twenties' were similarly effected by moral ineptitude. With that in mind, my only hope for this nation is that we will again see a correction - soon - though I know that will not happen if Hillary takes office and continues pushing her anti-family values upon our youth. I understand why so many follow her because she makes their own broken lives seem 'normal,' but it is past time that we stopped trying to condone our own failures and returned to ensuring our children don't make the same mistakes.

It seems to me that the real problem with America is that no matter what the issue, instead of searching for solutions, people consistently push their own agendas.
11 :
I agreed with you until you came to you point about illegal immigrants. How can you say America is treating Illegal immigrants worse than other countries? The Australian Navy turns boats away or even sinks them, as soon as any are found they are locked up. The European citizens have lots of problems with asylum seekers and illegal immigrants, they don't welcome people with open arms but are complaining to the same extent as Americans do. It's wrong to criticise one country for doing what the majority is of the world is doing. Most Countries welcome people who have emigrated legally but also you can't expect countries to welcome people who have broken laws, when laws were made easier for these people, by either sheer laziness or a complete disrespect for the country. Japan's ethnic Korean community, who are required to register as aliens even if their ancestors have lived in Japan for generations. Have you read the Japanese government report on immigration, Immigration Battle Diary? It concludes that the Japanese do not like foreigners and that increasing immigration would be a bad thing. The number of actual immigrants is around 1.55 million or just over 1% of the total population, compare that to the USA with 20 million illegal Mexicans alone. The total number of known illegal immigrants is closer to the 30 million mark or 10% of the population if you added around 2% for legal immigrants a year then the immigration problem in the USA is a lot different to Japan. Edit ---- I wasn't making excuses but to say living in Japan you see problem in America, well everywhere has the same problems so to criticise one country above all other when they all do it is stupid. You state that living in Japan you see these problems and yet Japan is one of the most xenophobic countries around. Why should people give to criminals? I don't here you saying that people should forgive burglars since they just want a better life. Illegal immigrants jump to the front of the queue over people who filling in the forms and wait. A H2B (temporary unskilled worker visa) only has a processing time of 15 days. Most Mexicans pay more than the $500 processing fee to just gat to the border and cross illegally. Illegal immigrants pay very little taxes, they are illegal and work cash in hand so how many report these earnings. For there little taxes they pay they receive free schooling, food vouchers, free hospital care (most are not insured and simply don't pay any medical bills) so how do they benefit America? Picking fruit, only 20% of fruit picker are illegal immigrants. To say that the people treat them as sub human not correct for most people. The illegal Hispanics have a lot less respect for the average American. Have you ever looked into what La Raza stands for? It wants an ethnic cleansing of the south west USA. Oh and you criticise other people for name calling yet you're happy to call me childish and pathetic. Edit ----- You have every right to criticise your country or any country, but expect people to have different opinions. What you don't have the right is to put down a country and say it's citizens treat people evilly without comparing it to others and pointing out just how common this is. How does Mexico treat its illegal immigrants? I do know the process, a lot better than you do it seems, as I've been through it. It's not complicated. You fill in three forms, send off money and wait for an interview. As for people not qualifying for visa, that's complete BS and you know it. There are around 20 different types of visa at the moment to cover anything from a doctor to a fruit picker. If someone isn't qualified to pick fruit do you really expect him to get work in the USA? As for being really poor the average Illegal pays around $2500 for a guide to help them cross the boarder compared to $500 processing fee to do it legal. Bring up La Raza is a valid point as they are the spokes group currently that most people see regarding illegal immigrants. The fact most people see illegal immigrants as Hispanics is that over 20 million are from Mexico with around 4 million from everywhere else. Now since La Raza, as the spokes people for illegal immigrants, do not respect the average American, or do you call banners with decapitated heads being very respectful, they have to be counted as the majority of illegal immigrants are not respectful to Americans. Plus anyone who openly breaks the law cannot be respectful to that country. You argument that they are respectful doesn't make sense, would you also say a burglar is respectful of the homeowner he robbed if he wiped his feet on the doormat? If the world was like I wanted it there would be no crime. If the world was like you wanted it the streets would be full of looters. Again I haven't called you any names, but you still continue to insult me. That proves that you have no valid arguments or cannot prove mine to be wrong and are trying to undermined my opinion by calling me names. Edit --- I probably agree with you on most points and believe that you are an intelligent person, but I will refer to my main objection again. It is wrong to state that Americans treat illegal aliens as sub-human creatures who are stupid and disease ridden parasites. Americans tend to treat their illegal aliens better then most countries do. Just because someone in one country doesn't have a lot of opportunities doesn't mean they can't get a Visa. Like I pointed out, and seems to be ignored by pro illegal’s, the American government increased the number of visa and the requirement to get them. The H2A and the H2B do not require any skills since they are the unskilled visas for seasonal work, which my understanding is what most illegal’s seem to state they do. Since the American government has bent over backwards to enable these people to be able to get Visas for America why don't they at least try to become legal? Since you state that you've research this topic you will be aware that the average cost of an illegal to enter the USA is around $2500, that’s a lot more than the $500 processing fee. If they can spend $2000 more to become illegal how can they state that they can't afford the processing fee? Most people’s argument for illegal immigrants is that they are simply in American to improve there lives. I see a lot of similarity between illegal’s and burglars. - Both are criminals, whether you like it or not that is a fact. - Both have illegally enter the place where they commit there crime. - Both use the excuse that they only do it to financially aid there families. - Both pay the same rate of tax. - High rate of either of them and people start to move away. Whether this is right or wrong it does happen, changing the local communities for ever. I do agree that La Raza don't represent all illegal aliens and even put that myself but they are the most vocal group. When ever the news has a report on illegal immigration the two sides are usually minute men, who are even smaller percentage of the population, against a person from either La Raza or an associated group. I'll put my response to your opinions on the topic. The laws don't work because they are not enforced, if they were enforced, as has been shown in areas on the AZ boarders they have reduced the number of illegal’s crossing by 1000's. Agreed a barrier has been proven to reduce migration if built correctly and well guarded. The Berlin wall had 5000 people successfully illegally cross it in 20 years, this proved that it can work. If someone is capable of landing on there feet they are also capable of obtaining a visa to do so. You want a fine, how about $500 and a piece of paper that has the words Visa written on it. This still isn't fair on the people who wait and do things legally, you are rewarding people for breaking the law, it's a bit like giving a burglar a playstation to stop him stealing, I don't believe that criminals should be rewarded. However if someone is illegal how would the government keep an eye on them, they are already failing to do so and have no idea where most of the illegal’s are. How is this about making a humane decision in how we are going to carry this out? Are you worried about splitting a family up? If one partner is an American citizen then why haven't they applied for a K3 visa? If they are both illegal’s then the whole family should be ship out. The law needs changing to stop these loop holes that could separate families. Mexico Unemployment rate is low so it's not lack of jobs or opportunity, it's purely financial gain. If some was coming over due to necessity then they could do so legally and would be welcomed, why do they have to do so illegally? I agree that most illegals aren't gangsters but statistics do show that areas of high illegal aliens also have high crime rates. I too have research the topic and also looked at the problem within several countries. My opinions do not come from the radio but looking at patterns within these countries and how they deal with immigration. The simple facts are that throughout history there as been illegal immigration and it usually has bad effect on the country. Legal immigration usually has a positive effect. A simply question that I would like your opinion on. Should America prioritize looking after its current citizens above dealing with the illegal immigrant’s situation? Things like employee rights (like paid maternity, can't be fired for being sick, minimum required holidays, etc), Free health care for children under 18, etc.

You have a good perspective from having lived outside the US, however, because you're young, you lack historical perspective. The US has changed greatly over the last 10 years. The country is being run by people who mainly care about winning the next election, and who constantly manipulate people's emotions through inflammatory rhetoric and disinformation. "Illegal immigration" was not the major issue it is now until mid 2006 when the Republican party decided to appeal to its base with draconian proposals. They ramped up the natural backlash against foreigners into a frenzy of hate and then they couldn't put the genie back into the bottle in time to pass a somewhat reasonable immigration reform bill. You seem to be on a good track of thinking for yourself, but I hope you decide to vote in the presidential election. If there's one thing for certain, it really matters who the US president is. As for the people on this board, many are paid partisans or campaign volunteers, several are astro turfers. So the opinions many posters "express" are not for real and are far more extreme than the real opinions of real people.

Why did the British cause the birth of the United States?
Why did the British cause the birth of the United States?
If the British didn't have to invade the French in the New World, then present-day USA would be a peaceful blend of French and Indian tribes. Also if the British didn't have to put tea taxes on the colonists, they wouldn't have thought to make this whole Constitution and Revolutionary War. Then the USA would not be a country! The fate of the GLOBE would be altered significantly! The Western Hemisphere's economy would not put a globe into recession. More precisely put, what gene pool of British made this whole USA? What kind of British genes would be responsible for the DNA of George W. Bush? These are descendants of Brits, are they not? If not for British colonialism that gave birth to America, I wouldn't have to be stuck in this capitalistic crazy USA with power greedy corporations and Government backing them with stimulus money. Am I correct? I know the USA is not all British (George W. Bush I think has English/Irish descent). Most Texans and Connecticut residents were English if not Irish origin. BUT the USA's first colonists were British sailors. The formation of the USA was people of primarily British origin against the British themselves. And some americans did go for Britain, one fine man was named Benedict Arnold

Why does the United States continue to throw billions and billions of dollars at third world countries?
Why does the United States continue to throw billions and billions of dollars at third world countries?
Despite that little to no progress has been made in these countries? We thrown have money at dozens of poor countries in Latin America,Asia,and the Middle East,and they're still poor. The Clinton administration admitted that "Despite decades of foreign aid,most of Latin AMerica,Africa,and Asia are economically worse off than they were 20 years ago." Take for example,Zambia.When Zambia became independent in 1964,its people's income per capita was $540(in 2001 dollars).By 2000,they were making only $300,despite SIX BILLION in foreign aid from 1980 to 1996. Africa is still poor,despite that Africa has received the financial equivalent of FIVE Marshall Plans since the 1950s. It doesn't matter how much money we give the Third World...The only people who can help Africa and Asia,are the Africans and Asians themselves.

I believe that the original idea was to help stop the spread of Soviet communism, that if we were to give them aid, then the Soviets couldn't gain a foothold in those regions in the world.

It's the same in the UK. We're massively in debt and there's people here who need support money (ie jobless, homeless, low income families, etc...). The government is saying we're all in this together and cuts have to be made because we can't afford anything. All the while giving £billions to foreign countries and the EU. Yes the foreign aid is for a good cause but the government should look after our own people and sort out our country before giving our money to other countries. And here's the kicker. Earlier this year I read that foreign countries have said Britain don't give enough. So not only are they taking our money they are ungrateful.

Children of Illegal Aliens in the United States?
Children of Illegal Aliens in the United States?
I go to a school that has a particularly large amount of immigrants from latin America, more specifically, the majority are of Mexican descent. Most of said immigrants live in poverty, and receive much assistance from the school (reduced price lunches, etc.). My question is, because schools are required to serve students, legal or not, how much money is spent annually on aid for them? Is it a large burden on the school, as, those who are not citizens, do not necessarily pay the same taxes as those who are legal? Also, there is a fair number of students whose parents are illegal, but they themselves are legal. Does this make the student eligible to receive anything more than if they were, as their parents, illegal? I would appreciate sources Thanks, -Jonathan I have been informed by ("illegal") classmates, that they receive payment in cash and only cash. So even with a social security number, are they exempt from taxes?

Illegal immigration is bad by definition. I say it that way because there is one thing that many people do not understand about it. Have you ever asked yourself why the federal government allows it to continue? Why do they make half-hearted attempts to stop it? By the way, have you ever noticed that all you need to do is drive for about 45 min to an hour and the theory that we are overpopulated kind of just dies (this is true no matter what city you live in in the world). Resources are only scarace becasue of poor administration of them by those who get rich from them. Because the USA wants the children of illegals...its called tacit approval of illegal immigration. The USA clothes, feeds, and educates these children and basically makes them AMERICAN. Why? well, Americans are not having enough children to keep the population of the USA growing at a fast enough rate and legal immigration has too many hurdles to make it practical for this purpose. So...lets all share the cost and pay to make new Americans (who cares that they don't come from US citizens). edit: ok ok, its just a conspiricy theory...but come on, the most powerful country in the world cant protect is borders from some of the most unsophisticated people in the world? Something just don't smell right here.

School districts get some funding from property tax. If the child's family lives within the school distict's limits their property tax is funding the school district. Also many illegal's still have social security and federal and state tax removed from their paychecks. They also can never collect the social security. With a TIP(tax identifacation Pinumber) the illegal can still file their tax returns.

So...lets all share the cost and pay to make new Americans (who cares that they don't come from US citizens). edit: ok ok, its just a conspiricy theory...but come on, the most powerful country in the world cant protect is borders from some of the most unsophisticated people in the world? Something just don't smell right here.

School districts get some funding from property tax. If the child's family lives within the school distict's limits their property tax is funding the school district. Also many illegal's still have social security and federal and state tax removed from their paychecks. They also can never collect the social security. With a TIP(tax identifacation Pinumber) the illegal can still file their tax returns.

Aquiring awork visa to the United States, how is it done?
I'm a 21 years old man from egypt. i have a degree in business information service and i've worked for about 6? I'm a 21 years old man from egypt. i have a degree in business information service and i've worked professionally with computers from the age of 15, i speak both Arabic and Enghlish fluently. i'm seeking an employer in the US who would be willing to sponser a work visa on my behalf, i don't care about the salary, i'm very professional and dedicated. is there a way for me to find such employer? Additional Details anyway i feel i should make 2 things clear. #1 : the financial situation in hell is better that what's in my country right now. #2 : and this is what actually matters. i'm not doing this for money, i'm doing this for love. and to answer previously raised questions in a previous discussion: * i do have a bachelor's degree for four years of full study. * the girl i fell in love with is an american citizen and living in texas at the momoent. * going to school in America sounds great, but unfortunatly i can't afford it. * i do not qualify for a Fullbright scolarship because it requires me to be atleast 25 years old. and when i say i don't care about the salary, i mean i'm not much in the way of spending and i know i'll be in a whole new country and have to start over so i only want what i need to survie day to day, just enough for food, drink and rent. one more thing, if i do find a sponser they would only need to file a form I-140 on my behalf, they are not requierd to provide me with any financial aid what so ever. and though i've worked in IT for as far as i can remember, i'm also a jack of all trades as you say and i'm not afraid of getting my hands dirty. thank you all for your quick replies, however in answer to the newly raised questions: * i have posted my resumee in job hunting sites, i'm just looking for advice because i think that is not working. * i don't want to envolve her in this because i don't want her to feel like i'm using her, it's just not an option i only told her that i would be there as fast as i can.

Some clarification. A work visa is file on an I-129 Form. The I-140 is for IMMIGRANT visa petition for alien worker. Your US citizen girl friend you fell in love with in Texas can help you two ways. She can (1) get an employer who would be willing, able to sponsor you on an H-1B visa specialty occupation based on your education and experience. Then when in the US, the same employer could sponsor you as an immigrant for the same occupation, this time on the Form I-140 immigrant visa petition form. The waiting period for the EB3 - for professionals and skilled workers - is about 5-6 years, about the same time that your H-1B would have reached its maximum duration. (2) Marry you. Then you can apply for adjustment of status (on Form I-485) based on a concurrently filed I-130 petition by a US spouse. You can also file the I-765 employment authorization form so that you can get to work. The unemployment rate in the US remains slightly above 9% so not too many US employers will sponsor a foreign worker. The fact that the 65,000 H-1B quota was reached only recently -as opposed to the quota being filled in a day or two 3 years ago - is a testament to the tight job situation - especially for sponsorships. Good luck and good day to you and your girl friend.

Not going to happen, unless you want to wait 5 years. Or you could get a fiancee visa, and go over there in 8 months or so, but you would have to marry your gf within 90 days of coming over.

you having a bachelors degree doesn't mean anything to the USA, sorry. They have PLENTY of people with BAs, MScs, and PhDs looking for jobs, and they will hire an American before hiring you. I am immigrating to the US on a fiancee visa, which sounds like your only shot. otherwise, forget about it. It's not an option? Then get used to not living in the states.

Pick a visa There are basically NINE ways that you can get a visa to live and work in the US: (1) Marriage (or engagement in anticipation of marriage) to a US citizen. (2) You have skills that are in short supply in the US e.g. scientific or medical training. A degree is normally a must. Or you have superior specialist skills with at least 12 years experience. (H visas) (3) You have an Employer who is willing to transfer you - but even the employer has to make a good case for you - so you have to be a manager unless you fall under category (2) above.(L visas) (4) You may get a Green card in the diversity lottery (UK citizens, except N.Ireland, are not generally eligible unless you, your spouse or parents were born abroad or held a different citizenship. (5)You own or buy business (does not get you permanent resident status i.e. no green card)You must be a national of a qualifying Treaty countries. The business must have a minimum value of around $150k (more the better) bearing in mind you will need somewhere to live and with any startup business you will need at least 2 years living money as back up. So a figure of $350k would be a nearer minimum (E-2 visas) (6)You are an "investor" i.e. you have at least US $1m in assets to bring with you. half of that in a few areas. And your background will be investigated to the hilt. (EB-5 visas) (7)You have a close relative (mother, father, brother, sister and no further) who is an US citizen who would sponsor you, approx time this take 2-12 years? (8.The R1 visa is available to foreign members of religious denominations, having bona fide non-profit religious organizations in the U.S., for entering the U.S. to carry on the activities of a minister or religious worker as a profession, occupation or vocation (9)THE UNUSUAL You are in a position to claim refugee status/political asylum. or You get a member of Congress to sponsor a private bill with legislation that applies just to you. The S visa issued to persons who assist US law enforcement to investigate and prosecute crimes and terrorist activities such as money laundering and organized crime Recruitment agent will not take you seriously if you are not already in the US. Writing for jobs is really a waste of time; likewise US employers have no idea what foreign qualification are or mean (except Degrees) it may pay you to get your qualification translated into a US equivalent, there are Companies that do this (www.wes.org) .. But if you are getting a visa under (2) above then you need a job offer before you can get the visa. Your Employer will be your sponsor this will cost them upward of $5k. So you can see you have to be offering something really special to get considered They may also have to prove to the Dept of labor that there is no American who can do the job if the position is to be permanent ©

Not possible, you need to have skills so rare that the employer can't find an amrican to do the job. So based on what you said its impossible.

why are some anime's released in the united states and not dubbed in english?
why are some anime's released in the united states and not dubbed in english?
i don't buy anime that is not dubbed in english primarily because i can't speak japanese i will learn japanese one day mostly to watch anime that is only in japanese but i can't find logic in not dubbing an anime in english there are not that many people in america that speak japanese fluently i find it kind of lazy of them to not dub it it seems like they wanted to make money without doing the work but i could be wrong it could be a japanese company licensing it in america which would make sense that they wouldn't dub it. i know a lot of american anime fans like to watch anime in japanese but i also know they like to watch the english dub first so they can get a understanding of the story because when your watching anime in a language you don't understand you have to use subtitles and with subtitles it's either you look at the subtitles and have no idea what's going on or you look at the screen and see very little of the subtitles. so anyways what is the reason they release some anime's in america without dubbing it first. i could understand if they were to dub it in spanish because a lot of american's speak spanish

Because the company that licensed it believed they could sell the anime for more profit in Japanese with English subtitles instead of dubbing it, or the company didn't have enough money to actually dub it.
2 :
The reason is simple, money. Releasing a movie with subtitles costs a fraction of a release dubbed in English. I actually prefer subtitles, for some reason I get a better feel for the spirit of the film when I watch it in the native language.
