You may lose your permanent residence status if you commit an act that makes you removable from the United States under the law in section 237 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. If you commit such an act, you may be brought before the immigration courts to determine your right to remain a Permanent Resident.
You may be found to have abandoned your permanent resident status if you:
- - Move to another country intending to live there permanently.
- - Remain outside of the US for more than one year without obtaining a reentry permit or returning resident visa. However in determining whether your status has been abandoned any length of absence from the US may be considered, even if it is less than one year.
- - Remain outside of the US for more than two years after issuance of a reentry permit without obtaining a returning resident visa. However in determining whether your status has been abandoned any length of absence from the US may be considered, even if it is less than one year.
- - Fail to file income tax returns while living outside of the US for any period.
- - Declare yourself a “nonimmigrant” on your tax returns.
Basically, Item 237 of the Act indicates the conditions that may be sufficient cause to have your PR status revoked. These include:
GENERAL CRIMES . . .
- - - CRIMES OF MORAL TURPITUDE (Any alien who is convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude committed within five years - or 10 years in the case of an alien provided lawful permanent resident status under section 245(j) - after the date of admission, and is convicted of a crime for which a sentence of one year or longer may be imposed.)
- - - MULTIPLE CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS (Any alien who at any time after admission is convicted of two or more crimes involving moral turpitude, not arising out of a single scheme of criminal misconduct, regardless of whether confined therefore and regardless of whether the convictions were in a single trial, is deportable.)
- - - AGGRAVATED FELONY (Any alien who is convicted of an aggravated felony at any time after admission is deportable.)
- - - HIGH SPEED FLIGHT (Any alien who is convicted of a violation of section 758 of title 18, United States Code - relating to high speed flight from an immigration checkpoint - is deportable.)
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES . . .
- - - CONVICTION (Any alien who at any time after admission has been convicted of a violation of - or a conspiracy or attempt to violate - any law or regulation of a State, the United States, or a foreign country relating to a controlled substance - as defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802) - other than a single offense involving possession for one's own use of 30 grams or less of marijuana, is deportable.)
- - - DRUG ABUSERS AND ADDICTS (Any alien who is, or at any time after admission has been, a drug abuser or addict is deportable.)
CERTAIN FIREARM OFFENSES . . . (Any alien who at any time after admission is convicted under any law of purchasing, selling, offering for sale, exchanging, using, owning, possessing, or carrying, or of attempting or conspiring to purchase, sell, offer for sale, exchange, use, own, possess, or carry, any weapon, part, or accessory which is a firearm or destructive device - as defined in section 921(a) of title 18, United States Code - in violation of any law is deportable.)
... there's more, but one of the important ones for your case is the "Controlled Substances" condition. Since you were convicted, there is reason for the government to refuse to renew your permanent residency status. It doesn't mean that they WILL refuse to do so, but that they CAN.
Good luck.
Reply:depends on the nature of the crime and the sentence imposed. immigration have several guidelines where "if" you fall under one of their violations, you are eligible to be deported/removed. based on what you wrote, it's hard to tell. all i can say is, if you were SENTENCED for 365 days or more (regardless if its jail time, weekend time, probation, community service, etc.), you fall under the "aggravated felony" category, which is the harshest violation immigration can slap you with. another category is "crimes of moral turpitude," which is similar to aggravated felony but unlike aggravated felony... you have options that you can apply for against your "crimes of moral turpitude." in other words, you have options where you can "waive" against your immigration violation.
so, to answer your question truthfully... yes, you do have a chance.
Reply:It doesnt matter how good of a person you are, if you are not a citizen and your green card is up, you better renew it, or move back home.
Reply:No. You will not get deported. An expired Green Card doesn't mean you are illegal now. It just simply means you need to renew it that's all. You just might have trouble getting a job or being let back in to the U.S. if you travel but other than that you are fine. Mine expired and I have to go renew it too. If you're going to apply for citizenship they might deny you for lack of "good moral character", but if you show them that you have turned your life around and you have been good for at least 5 years everything should be fine. Good luck to you :-)
Reply:Yes, you do have a chance of deportation. Good luck.

How many people on here are of the same opinion i am, if there are people who cannot afford health care get?
a job and pay for it the way i do, if you don't make enough to afford the fuel prices then walk, its a good weight loss program, and if the cost of food bothers you don't eat so much it is a good weight loss program, now who can find fault with this Plan?
How many people on here are of the same opinion i am, if there are people who cannot afford health care get?
I agree with your basic thought, however, if only life was black and white. What about those who are on disability, mentally unstable, or Veterans returning from war? These are all circumstances that make your blanket argument seem selfish. For those that are capable, then get out and find a job. But, what do we do with those that aren't?
Reply:Yes. It's called common sense. And if a person can't get a job that provides health insurance, go to their state website and sign up for low-cost or no-cost healthcare. Yes, it's that easy.
Reply:Well, there IS something to be said for letting the market provide solutions, rather than insulate people from the economics of their decisions.
LESS government regulation would decrease the distortions in the market that make health care more expensive. Changing tax policy so that individuals, not employers, make the decisions regarding insurance, and allowing interstate competition so people could "shop" and have more alternatives.
I realize the question may have been tongue-in-cheek, but there's a germ of a good idea buried in there!

Contrary to what you mistakenly believe, not everyone is insurable. I know this to be fact because I've been uninsurable most of my life and no I don't have HIV, I've never done drugs, I don't have a transplant--and no I could not get a rider to exclude the problem area and I could not get a policy even if I paid more than I made and I'm not alone.
The uninsured are charged many times more what the insured are charged. It's getting very difficult to get that EXCESS CHARGE written off--especially if it's a hospital that wants the money:
"In 1998, the CAGW (Citizens Against Government Waste) wrote a disheartening report on nonprofit hospitals indicating most were not worth the taxes they were exempted from. It was called Are You Getting Your Money’s Worth from Non-Profit Hospitals? In 2006, they revisited the issue and noted that nothing really had changed. One example in the short update (Wright, “Nonprofit Hospitals Still Abusing Tax-Exempt Status,” 26 July 2006) noted that one “nonprofit” hospital had charged a low-income, uninsured woman $20,296 for a procedure that Medicare would pay $3,994 to perform. The report urges government and taxpayers to look at the community benefits provided by nonprofits in light of what they receive (the massive tax breaks) and what they pay their people (benefits included) and the surpluses they run, as well as their billing practices.
In Who Killed Health Care?, Regina Herzlinger gives another frightening example of what too many hospitals are about: profit. She recalls being at a meeting for congressional legislative assistants about the creation of small, specialty hospitals to treat a particular health area, such as heart disease. The hospital was to be “partially owned and managed by doctors.” She notes that hospitals account for the bulk of costs and increases in costs of health care, but the established general hospitals saw the creation of specialty hospitals as an economic threat, so they went to Congress to disallow such hospitals from existing. The hospitals were represented primarily by the CEO of a “chain of 24 non-profit hospitals” who stated that such a specialty hospital would interfere with the billion-dollar non-profit’s ability to provide free and subsidized care to the poor and sick in that region. Supposedly the best-paying patients were being lured away from his chain to the 55-bed specialty hospital. Congress listened and instituted a “moratorium on the expansion of specialty hospitals.”
Herzlinger then looks at the facts. In 2003, while battling the small hospital, the non-profit earned $26 million in profits and had $50 million in liquid assets—after all expenses and charity care were deducted. In 2004, after Congress acted, the hospital had their profits and liquid assets increase 15 percent and saw fit to do things such as donate $200,000 to the local high school football league. However, the hospital’s charity care fell by 40 percent and profits increased. By 2005, the charity care was down to $3 million. By being considered as a non-profit, they had avoided “tens of millions of dollars in taxes.” The way they determined their charity care was also questionable. They listed the prices they’d charge the uninsured as what they were providing for free as well as declaring that the difference between the uninsured prices and what they did receive for Medicare and Medicaid were charity care as well. Herzlinger also notes that part of what the Congress was willing to fight, and the hospitals wanted them to fight, was that price transparency where patients would be told the truth before any procedures about costs so they could comparison shop (4-6).

Furthermore, predatory lenders have entered the fray:
http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnfl...
Here's more on the topic from someone who does actually know medical billing practices:
"“My interest in this subject is a values issue,” he explains. “It just offends me that the people that didn’t have enough money to buy insurance be charged three times what the people who have insurance are charged. From a moral standpoint it seems to me it’s wrong.”
Rooney points to the profits local hospitals are making by way of explaining his indignation. Clarian Hospital, for example, had profits of $132,709,138 in 2004 with cash and investments of $1.45 billion. Dan Evans, Clarian’s president and CEO, received $1,071,000 in total compensation that year. St. Vincent reported profits in 2005 of $86,498,143 with $500 million in cash and investments. The four hospitals in the Community system made a combined profit of $50 million in 2005.
Rooney has made helping people get out from under debt due to lack of health insurance a major focus of his Fairness Foundation. “We’ve done a lot of crusading on this and we’ve been very successful,” he says. “My opinion is that when [hospitals] are confronted with a well-informed patient that says it’s an unreasonable bill [the hospitals’] alternative is to sue them and I believe they don’t want to be in court on this issue when they’re charging three times as much.”
Rooney has found that hospitals have made a common practice of charging 3.5 times what Medicare will pay for services. While Rooney acknowledges that hospitals may need to charge more than Medicare will pay, he contends that authoritative research shows that Medicare plus 25 percent is the reasonable amount for hospitals to charge.
But hospitals are notorious for their lack of transparency when it comes to revealing what their costs actually are. “Dan Evans, the head of Clarian, testified before the Senate Finance Committee two or three weeks ago,” Rooney says. “He said [transparency] could be done but it’s so complicated it’s not worthwhile and we don’t want to do it.” But, Rooney adds, a health care system in Milwaukee, Wheaton Franciscan, has recently signed a contract in which it agrees to disclose what it will charge for 29 common hospital procedures.
The prevalent lack of transparency in hospitals, combined with the fact that people who are sick or injured are often unable to be their own best advocates, places patients in a particularly vulnerable position. Rooney also sees the higher prices being charged to the uninsured as a potential civil rights issue. “I am concerned about the minority people. I don’t want to see them screwed. Nationally, 35 percent of Hispanics are uninsured; 22 percent of African-Americans are uninsured; and 11 percent of non-Hispanic Caucasians are uninsured. So when you’re doubling, tripling, multiplying the price by five times, you’re doing it mainly to minority people,” Rooney says. “I consider that racial discrimination.”
In Maryland, what hospitals charge is now regulated by law. Rooney points out that Maryland’s Johns Hopkins Hospital is considered one of the nation’s best and manages to operate with a cost-to-charge ratio of 81 cents to the dollar. “They make a lot of money and they’re not gouging people,” he says. He would like to see the governor take the lead on the regulatory issue in Indiana."

Again, there is more to the article, before and after the quoted material, but I place it there to establish additional evidence for what I've said because some people want to argue about this. Oh, and the man being cited is the founder of the Golden Rule Insurance company as anyone who bothers to check sources will see.
You'll also note what Johns Hopkins charges and frankly, you'd be hard pressed to find a better hospital in the WORLD than that one, so BS about the "costs" of providing quality care should be skipped.
Though I respect what Rooney does, you can be turned down by Golden Rule--I was--repeatedly, making me one of the people who could not be insured in the US (and my employers offered me NO insurance). I also do NOT agree with his views about governmental regulation of prices, because the villain number one is large insurance companies:
Read Linda Peeno, MD's confession to basically letting the expensive die when she was able to deny legit claims in the insurance industry:
http://www.thenationalcoalition.org/DrPe...
So, the government needs to STOP its meddling. The government needs to enforce contract law principles which are ROUTINELY violated by the large insurers (hence their repeated denial of legit claims) and the antitrust laws they violate with impunity.
When there is a rule of law, THEN and ONLY THEN is your idea remotely practical.
IF people were serious about fixing the problems, they'd look at something like this: resolves a lot of problems instead of creating more special interest groups.

Pre-Paid Legal services -- anyone hosed by these folks?
Now I've looked into them before, and they seemed fishy.
My boyfriend has recently been sold on the idea's they represent. I'm hearing the same old scam-ola that 99% of "work at home" ventures recite.
I need some hard evidence to prove to him that they are full of baloney ... what better evidence than that of someone who's been there?
He does have a friend that says he's making money - of course he'll be placed under his friend and his friend will profit. Please give me ANY hard-earned opinions of Pre-Paid Legal. It would be greatly appreciated!
Pre-Paid Legal services -- anyone hosed by these folks?
Pre-Paid Legal is a good company and a good concept. The greatest problem is people misunderstand what they have within the plan.
The plan for a customer is having their legal rights properly represented, in the event there is a point of law that this need appear.
One visit to a lawyer may cost $1,500.00, that is what my boyhood friend wanted to charge my mother. It seem that a person passing on a neighbors property fell. This person put the wrong address on the claim against the home owners policy. Thus my mother wound up with a big headache.
As a business agent, the question is "DOES YOUR BF" know how to market to other people that may want the plan but does not want to get into the business? There are many businesses out there that get a bum wrap just because the people involve do not know that sales; "is a specialty".
Reply:Really... I was asked to become a member and so far I haven't found anything wrong with it. I know a lot of people are "ify" about it but I do make money now don't get me wrong you have to put the effort into it. I run two businesses, PPL being one of them. So I don't have 24/7 to spend marketing it. Iknow a few of my friends do it and they are making money like crazy. If you have a sales person characteristic then it can be done.
Reply:They Suck!!! I tried selling that years ago....All A big scam!!!!!!
Sorry for the anger..lol But I can't stand those stupid piramid scams.......Pre-Paid Legal Is A JOKE!!!!

Do you think the cowboys are right to want terry gleen to sign a injury waiver.like jerry said he was paid?
last year 5 million and he only got 4 catches out of him. i think its right.5 million for 4 cathes hell i need to make that money.i just want your opinion
Do you think the cowboys are right to want terry gleen to sign a injury waiver.like jerry said he was paid?
Heck yes i'd want him to sign that waiver. this is why i think contracts should have better injury clauses in them in case of injuries like TG has and they should all be incentive bases so a player like TG doesn't get 5 mil of my money to sit on his duff not playing for my team when i could have put that money elsewhere and paid his for his injury which we all know probably cost only about 250g's and another 100g's to feed his family during the season. To me thats way plenty enough money.
Reply:Yes, the business side of football can appear nasty, but the offer that Jerry has on the table is more than fair.
Basically he has offered to pay the $1.7 M if Terry plays, but what he wants is for Terry to sign a $500K waiver, in the event that Terry is unable to come back from his two knee surgeries.
Jerry could release him and pay him NOTHING more than the millions he has already paid him.
No team would offer him more than the league minumum, thus he would lose money.
If Terry can't comeback, then he is still taken care of...if can, then he still has a lucrative paycheck.
It's a win-win for everyone and again shows that Jerry Jones takes care of his players.
I wish someone would give me this type of option!!!
Reply:When i first heard, it surprised me. JJ was telling the media constantly that terry was doing fine and that he wasnt participating voluntary workouts because he was working out his legs by himself so that he wont get injured. but when JJ slapped this on him, it made me think that the Cowboys lost confidence in TG's injury. very upsetting. i was hoping that T.G. would make a great comeback. but if i think on the business side, i would have to agree that it was a business decision. it makes sense, but it hurt the fans
Reply:I think its right and wrong. Business is business. I think he's making 1.7 million this year so in a sense 1.2 million (1.7-500,00=1.2 they'd be saving if he got hurt) is nothing to Jerry Jones but that 5 million they gave him last year for ZERO production hurts, even someone like JJ. That being said business side its not wrong but from a personal stand point I don't agree with it, It could turn Glenn off making him feel not wanted.
Reply:Yeah, Terry Glenn is getting old and is obviously more prone to injuries now that he is older. I don't have a problem with Dallas asking him to do this... they're just trying to cover their own a**, same as you and I would do.
Reply:Damn I could catch 4 passes!! I think it makes sense...

Does anyone think it's fair that people in the entertainment buisness and professional sports get paid more?
I don't think that it's fair that people in the entertainment buisness(actors, actresses, etc.) and professional sports(NBA, NFL, etc.) make more money in a year than most other people will make in their whole lives. All they do is entertain people. They don't really help much. There are doctors, nurses, policemen and firemen out there saving people's lives , protecting people and making a difference in their communities and they get paid far less than them. Why is that?
How would America be different if doctors, nurses, policemen, and firemen made as much money as people in the entertainment buisness and professional sports or if doctors, nurses, policemen and firemen got paid more and people in the entertainment buisness and professional sports got paid less? All opinions welcome!!!
Does anyone think it's fair that people in the entertainment buisness and professional sports get paid more?
well they work hard to get that job. %26amp; it's pretty hard to get it..
In my perspective, Actors and Actresses got paid less... they would have to go through a normal life basis. and It might SUCK for them... because they have to clean up their own mess instead of a maid.. and they really wouldn't be famous.. but they still would get paid more, because ppl come there to watch what they're acting and with that money they collect it and become rich.!! It's not like we're all going to watch the doctor and pay them or nurses.. policemen.!! There is entertainment for a reason and I enjoy it, and that's why i go to the movies. and when i do that they get my money! LOL.. so yea! and if they got so rich ( doctors, nurses.. ECT..) they would work and travel everywhere a better life aint it? and more ppl can be a doctor or have a better job ! it can be great.. instead of being a celebrity.. with no sence of brain and being homesckooled.. yeah.. they annoy me
Reply:One major issue is supply and demand. There is more of a demand of good entertainers than there is for a mainstream job like a nurse or policeman. Also the money made off of the entertainment business as a whole is in the trillions. The way people are paid by occupation is rationed to the demand of their trade. If mainstream jobs like doctors and nurses swapped pay with actors and actresses, the economy would not balance due to the fact that there are lots more doctors and nurses than actors and actresses(famous ones,atleast). The value of the dollar would drop ect. ect. In a perfect world those who we need the most, like policeman fire fighters and doctors, make just as much as actors and actresses, but unfortunately things dont work that way.

Does housewives get paid to clean the house?
My husband dont think i dont need to get paid.
Everytime I clean my house and my son and my husband dont clean after themselves. I have to clean after them.any opinion about this?
Does housewives get paid to clean the house?
It is supposed to be a mutual understanding that if a parent stays home and the other works, the stay at home parent takes care of the household and the other brings home the paycheck. Now being paid to clean your own home is not something that generally happens, these things just need to be done by somebody, so it might as well be you. You share this home with your mate and (while this is not a tactful way of saying it) if this is a problem for you, then think about what he does to earn that pay and your obligations to the family if these things don’t get done. Remember his salary pays for everything both of you own, his salary pays for your lifestyle and if he didn’t marry you and had kids he will still live in a house, pay for his meals and live the lifestyle you have without you. It does not hurt if the husband doesn’t help out with the household things that what kids are for, yell at them to help you.
If, both parents work and there is a problem with sharing the chores, then you have to put your foot down and tell your son and husband that the household is falling apart and you need their help with the cleaning. If this doesn’t resolve your problem then let it pile up and hire a cleaning service. Two salaries should be able to afford a cleaning service a few days a week.
Other than that and for what is worth good luck.
Reply:You do your share of work in the family.... while your husband goes outside the home, you are in the home working to take care of your son, and cook and clean.
Because of your work, your husband gets to come home to a comfortable and clean place.
This is your partnership you have with your husband.
I wouldn't call it "pay," but yes, you do deserve to get a reasonable amount of money that is all for yourself only.
I mean, unless the money is so tight that you can barely pay the bills. Then of course sacrifices have to be made... because that would mean that your husband cannot spend any extra money on himself either since all the money is for the bills.
I am a housewife and I get a sum of money deposited into my bank account every month that is just for me to spend on myself. My husband does it this way because he thinks I may feel bad for having to ask him for money.
you are his partner, not his slave.

Reply:I don't feel a housewife should be paid to clean the house..I mean, I'm a stay at home mom..He works hard to make the money for our family..It's my place to clean the house, cook good meals, wash the laundry and so on..
However, I do feel if I want to go yard saling with my mom or kids..He shouldn't have a problem giving me some money to go..Which he doesn't and never has had a problem with it..
But, I'm not a high maintence type of person either..I don't ask for things for myself..perhaps a bottle of soda and a pack of cigs each day and I'm fine..
Reply:Yeah I'd pay you, with some pork sausage later o that night.
Reply:No, you don't get paid. Your compensation is the satisfaction that you are taking care of your family.
Reply:You ARE being paid. I assume you have no other job. Therefore your husband is paying the mortgage, the utilities, the phone, the cable, the car payment, etc. You are therefore essentially trading your work in the home for all the things your husband is providing. Of course, you are married and your husband is supposed to provide those things, but on the other hand you are staying at home and supposed to keep it clean. If the mess is excessive, then you should ask them to help you out. Also, your son should definitely have his own chores. All children should have chores of their own once they reach the age of 4. Now, depending on your situation I would say it might be nice to have something, say $100/month that you can do whatever you want with. That way you don't feel like a slave to your husband. If you want to buy yourself something small you don't have to worry about asking your husband to ensure you don't overdraft the account. Both my husband and I work outside the home, but we still do something like that. We can't possibly both know the exact balance of the account at all times and we shouldn't have to call to ask the other if we can buy lunch or a t-shirt or get a haircut.
Reply:That's married life! If you have a problem with your son and husband not cleaning up after themselves then you need to talk to them about this and set some rules. Do you have another job or are you a stay at home mom? If you aren't working and your husband is the one bringing home the paycheck then technically he is paying you. He pays to keep your family going. Pays the bills, etc. Have a talk with them if you need the help.
Reply:Uh, no.
Reply:most housewives get paid as their husbands give their sallary to them but few men are selfish and think that they earn money with so much trouble and don't give this to their wives nor they respect and praise their housework. If u need money u should search a job outside or ask ur hubby to equally divide the sarlary between u and him.
Reply:If your a stay at home mom, then it is part of your job to keep the house clean, but he should help.
If you both work, and he doesn't help, then hire someone to do it for you both. You then don't have to worry about it, and it teaches him not to take you for granted. :)
Reply:Do you pay your husband to go to work everyday.
What a dumb thing to say.
Reply:It doesn't hurt for them to help out but if you aren't working then why shouldn't you clean the house? If you are working, then the housework should be divided up equally. A household is supposed to be a team effort. If one person is working to bring money in, then the others should be contributing in other ways. That goes for your kids too. In order to make it successful, each person should have some clearly defined contributions to make.
At the same time, if you spend all day cleaning then he comes home and starts making a mess without appreciating the work you've done, try telling him that the time you normally spent doing his laundry was used up by recleaning up his mess.
Reply:Well, what is YOUR opinion? You're the one who married this dude.
Reply:You should def be compensated my girlfriend is a Desperate Housewife and her Hubby gives her and allowance every month of 5000 to do whatever she pleases she still has access to credit cards etc. so that money goes directly in a separate account that he has no knowledge of.

Reply:Uh isn't that the role you chose to play when you married without JOB? Be happy %26amp; clean well (without pay)
Reply:Sorry to say but that is what happens when you are a housewife. You are the stay at home person and do the cleaning and cooking. As long as your husband is out in the world working and bringing home the paycheck to pay the bills. I don't think that you should be paid to clean your own home but you should atleast have the children helping you.
Reply:Wow only one question and answer and you have been hanging around since February, I guess you are busy with that messy house.
Actually you don't HAVE to clean up after your husband (and only your son if he is under the age of 18). If you are a stay at home mom you are actually working for your room and board. (but a tip now and then would be nice).
Reply:housewives, and or moms, could never get paid enough to do what they do.to have an 8 hour job is just that...an 8 hour job. being a "housewife" or a "mom" is 24/7. you don't ever get to leave work.your husband could not even afford to pay you if he had to so he should appreciate what you do.he should trade places with you and see if he can even do what you have to, to keep the place clean and running well.if a housewife got paid even $5.00 and hour, you would make $840 every 7 days. can he afford that? how would he like to make his own food or wash his own clothes?or would he like to sleep in an unmade bed with dirty sheets?eat on dirty dishes?invite people to a dirty home? my mom showed me how to cook,clean,wash,sew,and other "womanly" duties because she said that a man was not a "man" until he knew how to do everything it takes to run the place he wants to call his castle. then and only then could he be called the "man of the house" agree?
Reply:What country are you from???
Reply:Humm, let's see, my wife does not work outside the home, yet she lives there rent free, I pay all the bills, buy the cars, pay for everything. Does she get paid to take care of the kids and clean the house? I would think so.
Reply:Yes I have an opinion...you are wrong. Sorry to say but doing housework is a part of owning a house. It's doesn't generate money so there is not paycheck to give out. If you don't like the fact that your son doesn't clean up, then you can only blame the job you did in raising him. If you don't' like the fact that your husband doesn't clean up, they you can only blame yourself for picking him.
In other words, all your problems are your fault and you should stop blaming others.
Reply:A lot of housewives don't get a 'wage' to clean the house. It's a pity we don't get more recognition for our part. A real wage would be fantastic!
My Dad would hand over his wages every week to my Mum who dealth with all the household and finances. Sometimes we hear of men who sup all their wages down the pub before they get home so the wife has to go out to work herself so bills can be paid.
Do you work as well as your husband? If so, then it would only be fair to split the housework after you both get home from work. If you're a stay at home mum, then it's understandable that you will do the bulk of the housework. Then it will be fair on you if you can either 'clock off' when your husband gets home from work or share jobs equally when he gets home.
As for your son, it depends on how old he is. If he's very young then you could show him how to do housework by making it into a game. If he's a lot older, he could possibly earn some extra pocket money by doing jobs for you. Make it clear though that there are certain jobs that are expected and won't be paid for like keeping his room in order, getting his school-bag organised for school (you're not responsible for his homework and making sure he has the correct schoolbooks as per his timetable - he is), also for him to make sure his laundry is picked up and put in the basket for washing. If it isn't - tough - they can lay stinking in his bedroom.
Reply:You don't need to be "paid" necessarily. If they were to pay you for taking care of your home 24/7, they could NOT afford it.
Just make sure that when Mommy wants something Mommy gets it. Assert yourself. If your husband and kid think you sit on your *** all day, set them straight.
Reply:do slaves get paid to do their job?

Reply:Normal housewifes have the check book so going shopping for new clothes is getting paid, buying that new washer and dryer are getting paid, new car yep getting paid, gold braclet and everything you buy on Home shoppers network -getting paid, flowers you bought and planted you guessed it getting paid. new shoes, socks, bra and panties from Victoria secrets sorry but have to count those items too! paid!
and when you buy that ice cream cone when no ones looking ! You getting Paid Baby!
Reply:I don't feel a housewife should be paid to clean the house..I mean, I'm a stay at home mom..He works hard to make the money for our family..It's my place to clean the house, cook good meals, wash the laundry and so on..
However, I do feel if I want to go yard saling with my mom or kids..He shouldn't have a problem giving me some money to go..Which he doesn't and never has had a problem with it..
But, I'm not a high maintence type of person either..I don't ask for things for myself..perhaps a bottle of soda and a pack of cigs each day and I'm fine..
Reply:Yeah I'd pay you, with some pork sausage later o that night.
Reply:No, you don't get paid. Your compensation is the satisfaction that you are taking care of your family.
Reply:You ARE being paid. I assume you have no other job. Therefore your husband is paying the mortgage, the utilities, the phone, the cable, the car payment, etc. You are therefore essentially trading your work in the home for all the things your husband is providing. Of course, you are married and your husband is supposed to provide those things, but on the other hand you are staying at home and supposed to keep it clean. If the mess is excessive, then you should ask them to help you out. Also, your son should definitely have his own chores. All children should have chores of their own once they reach the age of 4. Now, depending on your situation I would say it might be nice to have something, say $100/month that you can do whatever you want with. That way you don't feel like a slave to your husband. If you want to buy yourself something small you don't have to worry about asking your husband to ensure you don't overdraft the account. Both my husband and I work outside the home, but we still do something like that. We can't possibly both know the exact balance of the account at all times and we shouldn't have to call to ask the other if we can buy lunch or a t-shirt or get a haircut.
Reply:That's married life! If you have a problem with your son and husband not cleaning up after themselves then you need to talk to them about this and set some rules. Do you have another job or are you a stay at home mom? If you aren't working and your husband is the one bringing home the paycheck then technically he is paying you. He pays to keep your family going. Pays the bills, etc. Have a talk with them if you need the help.
Reply:Uh, no.
Reply:most housewives get paid as their husbands give their sallary to them but few men are selfish and think that they earn money with so much trouble and don't give this to their wives nor they respect and praise their housework. If u need money u should search a job outside or ask ur hubby to equally divide the sarlary between u and him.
Reply:If your a stay at home mom, then it is part of your job to keep the house clean, but he should help.
If you both work, and he doesn't help, then hire someone to do it for you both. You then don't have to worry about it, and it teaches him not to take you for granted. :)
Reply:Do you pay your husband to go to work everyday.
What a dumb thing to say.
Reply:It doesn't hurt for them to help out but if you aren't working then why shouldn't you clean the house? If you are working, then the housework should be divided up equally. A household is supposed to be a team effort. If one person is working to bring money in, then the others should be contributing in other ways. That goes for your kids too. In order to make it successful, each person should have some clearly defined contributions to make.
At the same time, if you spend all day cleaning then he comes home and starts making a mess without appreciating the work you've done, try telling him that the time you normally spent doing his laundry was used up by recleaning up his mess.
Reply:Well, what is YOUR opinion? You're the one who married this dude.
Reply:You should def be compensated my girlfriend is a Desperate Housewife and her Hubby gives her and allowance every month of 5000 to do whatever she pleases she still has access to credit cards etc. so that money goes directly in a separate account that he has no knowledge of. You never know when the bastard may walk out and leave.
Reply:I am a stay at home mom %26amp; I do not get paid. I do however go shopping when ever I want to.
Reply:Uh isn't that the role you chose to play when you married without JOB? Be happy %26amp; clean well (without pay)
Reply:Sorry to say but that is what happens when you are a housewife. You are the stay at home person and do the cleaning and cooking. As long as your husband is out in the world working and bringing home the paycheck to pay the bills. I don't think that you should be paid to clean your own home but you should atleast have the children helping you.
Reply:Wow only one question and answer and you have been hanging around since February, I guess you are busy with that messy house.
Actually you don't HAVE to clean up after your husband (and only your son if he is under the age of 18). If you are a stay at home mom you are actually working for your room and board. (but a tip now and then would be nice).
Reply:housewives, and or moms, could never get paid enough to do what they do.to have an 8 hour job is just that...an 8 hour job. being a "housewife" or a "mom" is 24/7. you don't ever get to leave work.your husband could not even afford to pay you if he had to so he should appreciate what you do.he should trade places with you and see if he can even do what you have to, to keep the place clean and running well.if a housewife got paid even $5.00 and hour, you would make $840 every 7 days. can he afford that? how would he like to make his own food or wash his own clothes?or would he like to sleep in an unmade bed with dirty sheets?eat on dirty dishes?invite people to a dirty home? my mom showed me how to cook,clean,wash,sew,and other "womanly" duties because she said that a man was not a "man" until he knew how to do everything it takes to run the place he wants to call his castle. then and only then could he be called the "man of the house" agree?
Reply:What country are you from???
Reply:Humm, let's see, my wife does not work outside the home, yet she lives there rent free, I pay all the bills, buy the cars, pay for everything. Does she get paid to take care of the kids and clean the house? I would think so.
Reply:Yes I have an opinion...you are wrong. Sorry to say but doing housework is a part of owning a house. It's doesn't generate money so there is not paycheck to give out. If you don't like the fact that your son doesn't clean up, then you can only blame the job you did in raising him. If you don't' like the fact that your husband doesn't clean up, they you can only blame yourself for picking him.
In other words, all your problems are your fault and you should stop blaming others.
Reply:A lot of housewives don't get a 'wage' to clean the house. It's a pity we don't get more recognition for our part. A real wage would be fantastic!
My Dad would hand over his wages every week to my Mum who dealth with all the household and finances. Sometimes we hear of men who sup all their wages down the pub before they get home so the wife has to go out to work herself so bills can be paid.
Do you work as well as your husband? If so, then it would only be fair to split the housework after you both get home from work. If you're a stay at home mum, then it's understandable that you will do the bulk of the housework. Then it will be fair on you if you can either 'clock off' when your husband gets home from work or share jobs equally when he gets home.
As for your son, it depends on how old he is. If he's very young then you could show him how to do housework by making it into a game. If he's a lot older, he could possibly earn some extra pocket money by doing jobs for you. Make it clear though that there are certain jobs that are expected and won't be paid for like keeping his room in order, getting his school-bag organised for school (you're not responsible for his homework and making sure he has the correct schoolbooks as per his timetable - he is), also for him to make sure his laundry is picked up and put in the basket for washing. If it isn't - tough - they can lay stinking in his bedroom.
Reply:You don't need to be "paid" necessarily. If they were to pay you for taking care of your home 24/7, they could NOT afford it.
Just make sure that when Mommy wants something Mommy gets it. Assert yourself. If your husband and kid think you sit on your *** all day, set them straight.
Reply:do slaves get paid to do their job?
Reply:Actually they just did a study on housewives and pay. THey determined that with all a housewife does, she should make over $135,000 a year. She is a cook, housekeeper, taxi, accountant, nurse, therapist, lover, child care porvider and much more.
What's your opinion of the "pre-race" pass at the Daytona Speedway, that lets you walk onto the track?
they let you look in the pits, etc. It's $60 per person, and we'd be paying for 3 people. Please only answer if you've purchased the "pre-race" pass and experienced it before. In your opinion, was it worth the fee?

I have paid for my son and myself to do the prerace "pitroad tour" a Talladega.It is ok to get an idea of the size and location of things around the tri-oval.It is also the closes some get to being in and around the garage areas.
Reply:IF YOU HAVE BEEN ON ONE TRACK YOU HAVE BEEN ON THEM ALL. IT IS NOY WORTH THE EXTRA COST.
Reply:if it's on raceday, it probably won't be worth it because there is really not that much to see in the pits, and all the drivers will be in the garage area, where you will not be allowed. BUT, i get them for friday, qualifying day, for every richmond race, and yes, they are worth their weight in gold. that's because all the drivers, crew chiefs, owners, and TV personalities are walking all around the pits during qualifying. i always get tons of autographs. but like i said, getting them on raceday is a different story.

UK Opinion - What is your feeling about tipping?
I do a job that isn't very highly paid, but I don't get tips - and no-one would ever assume that I would, so why do hairdressers, taxi-drivers, waiters etc. all expect to be tipped? ANd why do I feel bad if I don't leave a tip?
UK Opinion - What is your feeling about tipping?
its a sore point with me ....I send out a meal prepared with all my love %26amp; attention and the bloody waiter gets the tips............
Seriously, i only think you should tip if you feel that the service you have recieved warrants it, not because it is expected. I hate when service charge is added, i always find fault so that i do not have to pay it , it's on principle..........
Reply:I think there are some services that beg for tips because the level of service you get could go either way. Waiters and hairdressers better please you or it affects their income. But someone in retail doesn't get tips because you won't get a better shirt because they were attentive. I don't think taxi drivers should be tipped because it's their job to get you from one place to another. I don't see how one can do that in a good or bad way so what am I rewarding them for?
Totally agree with the UK Chef guy above. I've never thought about that - that the cook should get the tip for the great meal, not the server who just walked it out. This makes me want to give me tip to the cook next time!!!
Reply:I think we tip those professions because they are providing a service, if you don't want to or can't afford to leave a tip then you don't have to, its usually at your own discretion, I don't tip taxi drivers or hairdressers, if the service is good in a restaurant then I do, but if its bad and the food not good then I won't, I agree with you that a lot of people are in jobs that could do with tips but they never get them, don't feel bad about not tipping, its your money.
Reply:Waiters.. tips usually included in service charge
Hairdressers.... not everyone tips
Taxi drivers...no way!
The rule of thumb that I use that if the service and food is exceptional then I leave a tip...but only if.
I know how you feel, but do not feel intimidated. A sweet smile and a thank you is enough these days.
Wait until you are well paid then you can reconsider.

Reply:prices are so high now that people think they have already paid enough it hasnt aanything to do with you personally. money is tight for alot of folks and a tip is just more expense that some of us cant afford

Is it a smart idea tu buy and rent houses?please give me your opinion?
because from the money you get from the rent house you can use it to pay off the house and then lets say i do that with 5 houses rent them all out with the money from the rent pay my morgate till all the houses are payed then ill have 5 houses plus money coming in from the renters without having to work.do you think this is a smart way to make money thanks
Is it a smart idea tu buy and rent houses?please give me your opinion?
It could be an excellent way to make money. Just make sure that there are renters in your area that would occupy them before investing and you should be a handyman or know someone who is who can do repairs. Also, look into getting rules that you want followed signed by the tenants.
Reply:If you rent you will still have to work. You only have half the picture. There are certain laws in effect which are area specific about being a landlord. It involves the number of properties which you own and you are behooved to certain regulations. I would ask you to inquire more deeply in your specific locale.
That being said, are you okay with being awaken in the middle of the night because your tenant says their pipe has busted, or the toilet's clogged up. Can you deal with folks putting holes in your walls and just all in out vandalizing the place. What rules will you in enlist? Can they have pets? If so which pets?
It's lucrative if you stay on top of it. But you will have to work. You can't just sit back and do nothing because that's what those horrible landlords do that we all hear so much about.
All that being said, I say to you if you have the money backing to go forth on this venture do it to the fullest. Make lots of money and I wish you the best. I would say though do one at a time to start so as you will make your mistakes and then learn from them on the first house instead of getting five in one pop as a newbie to the industry.

I'm having problem finding child care for my baby.I had a babysitter but I can't afford the pay her price, she want more than what I work for .My daughter father naver do any thing for her he always in and out of jail I can't take him for child support because he don't know how to keep a job.he won't watch her because he always running the street with his friends. All the day care I went to they are book up for a long time, Family also want money I can't afford to pay them.If I don't work my daughter and I won't get by And lately I been taken off because I have no-one to stay with her.My daughter didn't ask to come into this wold so I want her to be well taken care of and not be hurt.another job will mean spending less time with her and she already don't have a father I don't want her to feel like she don't have a mother too.Please give me your best advise

You are a wonderful person for looking out for your little baby girl. You are doing the right thing to seek help in your time of struggle. Several have suggested government assistance, which is a good idea to help you get on your feet. Besides government assistance, try a local large church. Many large churches have the resources to assist single parents in making through such difficult times.
You are in hard times and life seems tough, but remember, trust in God. He will help you when you are down, and he will guide you to a man that will be willing to take care of you and your baby. You have proved your strength by seeking help and caring for your daughter. Continue to talk with your family and tell them that you want their help before seeking free government aide. Families usually want the best for their children and grandchildren. Also, try telling your family that the money is not for you but for your daughter.
Keep up the good work and God Bless!
Reply:Your situation is a difficult one. I respect your responsibility for trying to take care of your baby girl, but I don't think you are in the place to have a baby right now. This is a very hard descision to make, but maybe you can have your baby stay with some people that you trust until you get back on your own two feet. Adoption is hard for the both of you, but sometimes it is a necessary option. I wish you happiness for you and your daughter.
Reply:You could try renting a room to someone, in need of room and board who attends night school, in exchange of lower rent for their services. Do your research for screening, to make sure you have someone who is dependable and knowledgeable for any emergencies should they arise. That's all I can think of, good luck!
Reply:Check into programs from Social Services, Dept of Human Services, etc but also look for early-headstart. It is a goverment ran daycare for children 6 weeks and up. there is normally a waiting list and the hours are normal school hours but most programs run year round. Looking for a teenager is also a good idea. You might also be able to swap babysitting with a friend who works a differnet shift from you. I did when I was a single mom and neither of us paid the other one we swapped hour for hour. When I had 2 kids, it still worked I just sat for her for 2 hours for every hour she had my 2 kids. She only had one. Talk to some of your friends who have kids. Everyone has a sitter they just LOVE who is worth 10 times more than they charge. You might also find a SAHM who is looking for some extra cash and sit for what you can afford as long as you provide your daughter's snacks, meals and diapers. That is what I do. Good luck and God bless.

Reply:Go to the Department of Human Services office, they can help pay for daycare, especially if you're the only one working in the home. I know a lady who gets assistance from the government, they pay childcare for her three kids, they pay alomost 12000 for their care, so there are options.

Anybody Own a 2007 Orbea Orca with an opinion?
Looking for opinions on the Orbea Orca. Buying experience, price paid and most importantly the ride?
Anybody Own a 2007 Orbea Orca with an opinion?
I rode with someone with the new Orca coupled with SRAM Force gruppo/ Mavic Ksyrium wheels. He likes it and it looks pretty sharp. I have ridden my cousin's Orbea Onix (2005 model) and I find that it combines racer stiffness and comfort very well and climbs like a mountain goat. Because of his bike's small size, I find my Litespeed's handling to be quicker but just as stable. I'd say it is as close to the perfect ride as you can get. I imagine the new Orca is even better.
The owner of the Orca said his brother-in-law worked at the bike shop he bought from so he got the "family deal". I thought he said $4500.
BTW, the Onix did not suffer from the wooden feeling that some carbon bikes have. It's fairly lively as carbon goes, more so than the Madone I tried. really nice ride. It is a 16.5 pound bike for $2400 (with Campy Centaur and custom Velocity wheels).
Reply:what a p.o.s. its soft and not worth the 4g's your going to spend... if you like carbon fiber then look at a LOOK, or a specialized gerolsteiner frame....
Reply:I own a 2007 Orbea Orca, but it doesn't have an opinion, I asked it. I got no response.
Reply:what a nice car. it rides great and handles well too. but it can push it to like 100 mph untill it stops. i got it for 25 grand

What is your opinion on imigration. Especially those of you in UK.?
The UK is being over-run by foreigners, yet the goverment is closing hospital wards and people that have paid taxes for years cant get surgery or medication they need. Not to mention the millions of pounds sent to poorer countries. The Government needs to sort its out house out before letting others in.
What is your opinion on imigration. Especially those of you in UK.?
The imigration system in the uk is a farce, whatever rules there were at the start have long since gone obscure.
The system is in a shambles, only yesterday, government proposals for stopping marrages of convienience were quashed in the UK courts because the do gooders, think these scroungers have rights, they do NOT.
Our Country is being bled dry by these people who tell us they are being persecuted back home, its all rubbish, they have heard about the land of plenty from their relatives and friends and so can't wait to get here.
The system needs ahuge overhaul and needs implimenting properly with no loop holes
Reply:Its a tough one. I don't think those stuck in foreign countries in a poor way of life should be stuck there. I think you're right, the govenment need to sort out its own country before looking at the immigrant situation, mainly lookin at the over spending within government, the NHS and local councils. They need to get rid of all this over priced art work with goes outside hospitals and council buildings, and put the money into training nurses and providing housing and employment training.
Reply:UK hospital cash crisis is not due to immigration; it's due in part to underfunding of the consultants settlement. And the UK has been recruiting overseas health staff for many years.
BTW - waiting lists for health care have been falling - people can get access to surgery %26amp; medication.
Net migration in 2003 estimated at 150,000 (inwards) and averaged 166,000 over the last 7 years - this is not being 'over run'
UK proposals for immigration limits (for non EU nationals) should deal with any problems over the longer term. And as EU aid helps the newly joined Central and Eastern EU countries economies improve, then migrant workers from these countries will lessen
Reply:go the way the australians have ..sponsors ... to imergrate to england you should have a sponsor either company or personal should have a work placement then after some time of paying taxes imergrants should get the benefits nationals have and after four years they should take a exam and on completion become passport holders of this country.
i also believe that any person comming to live here should have some understanding of our language (english). and acept our laws and culture. ( why should we have laws and cultures not associated with our country. as long as we acept and provide fair and equal rights under our law that is set out by our UNWRITTEN constitution ) if they see there native country as home after getting passport then why do they need to be here if they dont class it as their country??? if they want equal rights they should accept this country and its crown and goernment.. :)

Do political parties pay people to represent their opinion on Y/A?
I get the feeling that it does happen.
Do political parties pay people to represent their opinion on Y/A?
Yes we do.
The DNC pays me $14.95 for every pro DNC comment I make and $7.63 for every anti GOP comment I make.
The GOP pays me $21.34 for every pro GOP comment I make, and $3.78 for every anti DNC comment I make.
Thats why I spend my time making pro GOP comments, it pays better.
Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich both contacted me and offered $31.87 for every positive comments.
But I turned them down, it was just to hard to find something positive to say about candiates, no one has ever heard of.

Best Pre-Paid phone?
What is the best Pre-Paid phone in your opinion and why? What phone company has the best deal?
Best Pre-Paid phone?
Beware of prepaid service that is "only $1.00 per day".....some of those are $1.00 a day if you use the phone or not --which would mean $30.00 per month is the least expensive route you can go. AT%26amp;T offers to choices in pay as you go ...$1.00 per day (ONLY on the days you use the phone), then $.10 per minute and unlimited mobile to moble. The other choice is $.25 flat rate per minute. Popular prepay phone right now is $20.00 after $20.00 mail in rebate. Check COVERAGE. Prepaid coverage is NOT the same as coverage on postpaid plans. For people using prepaid for emergencies only --(and the occassional convience)...you can get service for as little at $25.00 for 3 mos. or $100 a year ($8.33/mo.).
Reply:it all depends on you. if you just want a phone to talk, then virgin mobile has pretty good prepaid plans (yes, prepaid plans, no contract). you can even set yourself up with an unlimited nights %26amp; weekends if you want or keep it simple with the buy minutes. but if you're looking to get ringtones and downloads, that's where it can get very VERY pricey. once again, it's all up to you.

What is your opinion of Longevity Insurance?
It is insurance you buy that pays you for living longer. The clincher: You have to make to 80+ for it to pay off. Statistically speaking, a 65-year-old male will live on the average of 82 and a 65 year-old female will live on the average of 85. Metlife, Hartford, Integrity and New York Life offer it. Hey its an investment.
What is your opinion of Longevity Insurance?
If 65-year olds have an average life expectancy past the age of 80, then the premium you pay for this insurance must be higher than the payout you receive if you survive past 80. Otherwise the insurance company is certain to lose money.
Insurance companies are not in business to lose money. That means this insurance will cost you more than it will pay you if you pass 80. It also means you are guaranteed to lose money.
As an investment, its a sure winner for the insurance company and a sure loser for the insured.
Reply:Life Insurance is truly a fine investment --- the owner of the policy will never live to see the payoff.
Reply:my sister wanted to go that route and based on age payment etc she would have to live to 93 3/4 to break Even and then she could really reap the benifits!!!
Reply:I think there are better investments for that payment that she can reap the rewards of much sooner. Too much a gamble and I'm betting it ain't cheap.

What is your personal opinion for this invite? Is it worth paying a little more for it?
http://www.mygatsby.com/product.jsp?Prod...
I really love this style- I like the one with the ribbons that get glued into the sides and then you tie it for the front.
My colors would be pink and brown.
Anyone buy this style before?
What is your personal opinion for this invite? Is it worth paying a little more for it?
OMG! They are soooo beautiful. I love the fact that it has pockets for the directions, rsvp card, reception etc. They are very elegant and quite distinct. They definetly will make an impression.
They are worth it. Go for it!!!!!
PS/ I recently got an invitation for a wedding,. They are spending over 30k on the wedding but they chose a DYI invite kit to save money. The invitations look bad, the ribbon was not glued properly, some of the pieces are not aligned... It's so worth to spend a few extra bucks than give the wrong impression.
Good luck
Reply:Haven't bought it but I LOVE it!
Reply:It's really a matter of choice. I think they are lovely...classic %26amp; simple elegance. That being said, I've seen simpler invites just as beautiful. If you want them and you can swing the extra cost...get them. I don't believe in going bankrupt for a wedding, but I also think you should have what you want within reason.
Best of luck with the marriage!
Reply:no i havent even seen this style b4 but is definately BEAUTIFUL!! congrats on ur wedding!! wish u the best of luck!!!!!
Reply:It is SO classy and beautiful. Good luck with the planning.
Oh, however, I don't like pink and brown! too ice-creamy... just my humble opinion, though.
Reply:I think they are lovely, but I would have to tear it apart to properly scrapbook it. That would be a waste. I prefer simpler things, but if you like it....go for it.
Reply:This is a georgeous invitation. If you can afford it I would def. go for it. If not maybe continue to try shopping around for something similar with a nicer price. Congrats!
Reply:It's worth the money if you can afford to buy it. Consider postage.
Reply:It's worth it if it's affordable and if they're special to you (I think they're georgeous, BTW). But, don't spend the extra money if you're doing it because you think your guests will be impressed. Nobody remembers details like the invitation much after they get it. It might have an immediate "wow" effect, but that fades quickly. But, if it fits into your vision for you day and you have the bucks, then enjoy them!
Reply:I like them. Friends of mine sent out similar invites. Very classy, very elegant. I'm assuming your wedding is not during the day or just cocktails-I think simpler invites would be better for them. Otherwise I say go for it! They look great!
Reply:Its really cute :)
Reply:My personal opinion? It's just gorgeous!!
However, two things to consider: Number one, the cost of the invite itself - like your "additional details" - I hate to spend money on something that's going to go into the trash. =)
Number two: How much does each invite weigh, and consider the size. How much extra postage is going to be required? Instead of the .41 to mail and the .41 for the RSVP card (which is .82 just to mail them!), at 5" and some change X 7" and some change, you could be at an odd size, and if the folder's heavy (which it looks!) you could be spending easily over $1.00 per invite in postage alone because they're either too big or too heavy.
Also, it says envelopes are not included? I'm assuming this is printing your return address on the envelopes (Trust me on this - it's a HUGE time saver and worth the effort!) How much extra will that cost?! Your invitations could end up costing you over $20 a piece!!
If you're only sending out 25 invites, it's probably not going to be a big deal, but if you're sending out over 100 - it's going to add up pretty quickly - Just something else to consider. I hate to be a killjoy, because they ARE just gorgeous, but if you can save a couple hundred bucks here and there - that's some extra cash for your honeymoon! =)
Best wishes to you!
Reply:Personally, I am the kind of person who saves stuff like invitations to weddings. Especially if they're super cute or creative. I have a bulletin board behind my kitchen door that holds wedding invitations and postcards and stuff like that. I think they're adorable and I like that you can personalize them any way you want to fit your needs. Plus, you don't have to try and stuff all the cards and inserts in the envelope just so to get them to fit. It all stays inside the little folder. Very convenient. Also, I've noticed that its really hard to find invitations that are so personalizable. Its nice that no matter what your colors or theme or what inserts and extra cards you need, you'd be able to use this invitation. Very few styles are so versatile. I think you should get them. Maybe since they're so unique, more people will save them as keepsakes. I know I would.
Reply:I love it, it is very beautiful. If I had sceen a blue and silverone like that, i would have snatched it in a hurry.
Reply:Personally, it looks too stark. I am a traditionalist so maybe I shouldn't answer this, but I have seen beautiful invitations and from what I undestand they didn't break the bank...My opinion, look further.
Reply:I think it is beautiful! Very unique. I have never seen this before.
I'm the same way - usually don't spend much on stuff like this, but for my wedding I spent a lot more on invitations to get exactly what I want! Maybe other people don't keep them around, but I assure you that they notice! Haven't you ever got an invitation in the mail and thought "YUCK!" Don't let this be you :) If you can afford it, go for it.
Reply:very nice, a little pricey, but still very nice.
Reply:My husband's cousin had the exact invitations for her wedding last September. Her colors were pink and brown too. They were beautiful, but alas it did eventually get thrown away. If you can afford it, go for it. Sometimes you gotta splurge on something you love! Best wishes!
Reply:Style wise they are pretty but I would personally go with something that had the same feel but simpler. Invitations get sent out way before the wedding and the only people who really save them are the bride/groom and possibly a scrapbook crazy aunt or two. Otherwise they end up in a drawer or trashed so its not worth it getting fancy invites when I can spend it on something for the actual wedding that will get more notice.
For me I figure how long is anybody but me going to look at it and budget accordingly. Like I skipped pew bows because they don't show up in pics and other than the first few people into the church I'm the only one who will notice them. I took that money and threw it into better flowers that will make a bigger impact for a longer period of time.

Also, I've noticed that its really hard to find invitations that are so personalizable. Its nice that no matter what your colors or theme or what inserts and extra cards you need, you'd be able to use this invitation. Very few styles are so versatile. I think you should get them. Maybe since they're so unique, more people will save them as keepsakes. I know I would.
Reply:I love it, it is very beautiful. If I had sceen a blue and silverone like that, i would have snatched it in a hurry.
Reply:Personally, it looks too stark. I am a traditionalist so maybe I shouldn't answer this, but I have seen beautiful invitations and from what I undestand they didn't break the bank...My opinion, look further.
Reply:I think it is beautiful! Very unique. I have never seen this before.
I'm the same way - usually don't spend much on stuff like this, but for my wedding I spent a lot more on invitations to get exactly what I want! Maybe other people don't keep them around, but I assure you that they notice! Haven't you ever got an invitation in the mail and thought "YUCK!" Don't let this be you :) If you can afford it, go for it.
Reply:very nice, a little pricey, but still very nice.
Reply:My husband's cousin had the exact invitations for her wedding last September. Her colors were pink and brown too. They were beautiful, but alas it did eventually get thrown away. If you can afford it, go for it. Sometimes you gotta splurge on something you love! Best wishes!
Reply:Style wise they are pretty but I would personally go with something that had the same feel but simpler. Invitations get sent out way before the wedding and the only people who really save them are the bride/groom and possibly a scrapbook crazy aunt or two. Otherwise they end up in a drawer or trashed so its not worth it getting fancy invites when I can spend it on something for the actual wedding that will get more notice.
For me I figure how long is anybody but me going to look at it and budget accordingly. Like I skipped pew bows because they don't show up in pics and other than the first few people into the church I'm the only one who will notice them. I took that money and threw it into better flowers that will make a bigger impact for a longer period of time.

What is you opinion on cell phones when driving which is worse?
the text driver who isn't on the phone but is swerving to text
or the one who is paying slight attention to the road on the phone?
What is you opinion on cell phones when driving which is worse?
The text driver. If your eyes aren't on the road, you're not a driver, just a passenger. As a 5000lb hunk of steel doing 60mph with no driver is not exactly safe.
Reply:The text driver - most normal people can drive and talk - but you can't text and drive - that is crazy!
Reply:I try not to do either, but I think it's the texting while driving. For one, it's normally teens doing it, who are less experienced drivers. Two, you have to look at your phone when you text, when you're talking on a phone you're just mildly distracted.
Reply:Texting is way worse than just talking. If using a hands free what's the difference between talking on the phone and talking to someone in the car? At least on the phone you don't turn your head to face who you are talking to.
Reply:the text driver who isn't on the phone but is swerving to text
Reply:I think I would rather share the road with dogs driving. It's ridiculous that these people can't wait till they get stopped. I think the texting is worse though. At least you are paying partial attention to the road when talking.
Reply:I hate them both..but the texting driver is the WORST!!! You always know if someone in front of u is using the phone, cuz they just keep doing the dumbest sh*t or driving really slow..
Reply:the texting driver is more dangerous...but a person talking on the phone is still dangerous also...just leave the phone, even no hands phones will cause some kind of distraction...
Reply:texting is def worse! wtf are these people thinking?

Reply:Both are bad, texting is worse. Actually it is prohibited while driving, for a very good reason..
Reply:It's not safe, but how can you really enforce it? If that's the case, then what is your opinion on someone who is eating while driving? Or someone who is singing along their favorite song while driving? Or the man on the way to the office that is looking over a spreadsheet at the stoplight next to you?
There is no way to enforce this law, because if it was made it would need to include all these other distractions that are just as bad, if not worse.

What is your opinion on the movie, "Pretty Woman" THE HOOKER WITH THE HEART OF GOLD?
I just saw it again, today, and even though liked it before, now I think it's one of the worst movies ever made.
It's a statement on the unfortunate fact women's love CAN BE bought, and sometimes that's the only (or best) way to get it.
Julia Roberts starts off in this movie as a prostitute, and she ends up as... a prostitute. The only difference is she found someone rich and handsome enough to pay for her love, rather than just sex
It's no surprise that on the voting scales, women consistently voted this higher than men. Men know the Richard Gere character deserves someone far better than some lowlife hooker!
But with women, it's the whole fairy tale they all desperately want to believe, that no matter how little they have to offer, no matter how low their standing in life, that their Prince Charming, their Mr. Perfect, their Knight in Shining Armour, or as in this movie, their Handsome Millionaire is waiting to sweep them off their feet
What is your opinion on the movie, "Pretty Woman" THE HOOKER WITH THE HEART OF GOLD?
I think you think too much and take this movie too seriously. Women like the movie because they dream of being swept away by a good-looking rich guy who takes them on fantastic shopping trips and winds up being their Prince Charming. It's not a very realistic movie, just a movie, take it for what it is - a fantasy. Most hookers don't look like Julia Roberts, and there aren't that many millionaires roaming Hollywood and Vine looking for directions.
Reply:I found it to be misogynistic, showing off the worst stereotypes of women and presenting them as positive when they're really negative.
Reply:I kinda agree with you on that one.
If you look at the premise of the movie basically Richard Gere buys himself a girlfriend who just so happens to sell her vag to strangers.
How this movie ever became the sweet romantic movie that people fell in love with is mind boggling to me.
On a side note I always thought Gere could have done MUCH better than Julia.
Reply:Why on earth would someone base their life on a movie? And why are you over-thinking this? I cant even believe I read your nonsense... No one believes in that silly movie except apparently you... I cant imagine that any woman have a fantasy of being a hooker. Weirdo...

Reply:Sure - its the first time Cinderella is seen going down. How romantic.

Obviously a match made in heaven (hehe).
Reply:It's just a movie. No myth involved. Living in the metropolis or any other city, we see them everyday. No fairy tale there. And they know it. We know it. Life itself is in the big screen and we act our parts in the story....parts that we ourselves make. I think one who will be in their shoes ought not (or most likely not) believe in that myth if you even call it that way. It's a movie for entertainment. What makes it sell is that good feeling of being entertained for watching the movie..... and not because of the expectations that it could happen in real life.

MULTIPLE Republican candidates expressed distaste for immigrants. Is this the opinion of the general public?
During the Republican Debate, I -a legal immigrant- was hurt and discouraged to hear MULTIPLE Republican candidates express distaste for ALL imigrants and cultural diversity. Does America share this distaste? Do Americans really feel because we work, school and pay taxes here we should not maintain our languages and culture practices?

If you come to America legally we will welcome you with open arms. If you jump the fence and hog up all those needless social programs implemented by dems with my tax dollars then yes. We don't want you here. Get out!!!
Reply:we have nothing against legal immigrants, but that does not mean we we sacrifice our national identity for higher tax revenues. i like how teddy put it.....
Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country.

Reply:I'm a republican and my wife is a LEGAL immigrant. LEGAL immigrants are more than welcome in this country. ILLEGAL immigrants are not. as far as you language goes. speak what language you want, but dont expect me to learn your language and conduct business in that language. your culture? your an american now, you have to live in the american culture. if you cant handle that, then leave. dont get me wrong, if you want your native food, great, we'll all try it, but dont expect us to observe your native holidays and traditions. if were uncomfortable with your wearing some odd head covering or what not, deal with it and go on. remember, your in our country now, not your native country. welcome to america.
Reply:I believe there is distaste for ILLEGAL immigrants, not legal immigrants, as my ancestors, as well as , I'm sure, the candidates' ancestors came to this country from a foreign land. Cutural diversity is great, and, yes, you are free to speak whatever language you want. However, immigrants cannot expect for everyone else to understand them if they don't try to learn english.
Reply:The problem is with ILLEGAL immigration. No Republican candidate is against legal immigration.
Cultural diversity is an overused term used to describe why America is great, which is B.S. We are great because a diverse amount of people migrated here, assimilated, and contributed to making this country great.
Freedom is what made us a great country!
Reply:no, the Right does not hold distaste for immigrants...the Right is disgusted with lawbreakers.
lawbreakers who demand special privileges...welfare, food stamps, free housing, ESL courses in our schools...when it costs them NOTHING, including not having their kids innoculated against third-world diseases that they bring into the cramped atmosphere of the classroom, exposing my kids to TB, Rubella, Polio...all the diseases that we spent the last century wiping out, and illegals are bringing back in!
your mind is closed. and it's a pity that you see things thru such a tiny hole...otherwise you might actually learn something.
btw: I am the son of LEGAL immigrants, who fled Nazi Germany, and who worked very hard to become Americans...not German-Americans...just Americans...and they were darn proud of it.
listen: Borders, Language, Culture...the three pillars of any nation. we must maintain those three, despite what you liberals are trying to do to ruin it, so we can all be third-world miserable, just like you.
Reply:I was probably listening to the same sources you were but did not come away with the opinion that the Republican candidates disliked "ALL immigrants and cultural diversity". That simply is not the case. Their views are to the point that it is necessary for people to follow the laws to get here. Even if you believe that the way the laws are set up are wrong, those are still the laws. The way to make a better nation is to try and change the laws you dislike rather than ignoring them all together.
As far as your comment about them disliking cultural diversity, I think that is a very skewed and inaccurate point of view. I believe your reason for thinking that was because they believe that it is necessary for people living in the US to understand the native language. They never said anything along the lines of diversity being bad or even speaking multiple languages was bad. It is quite to the contrary. To contribute to a country, or to get what a country has to offer, you need to be able to communicate and understand the nation.
Republicans are against breaking the law to become part of the nation, they are in no way against immigrants in general... all of their ancestors were immigrants. Keep your cultural diversity; it contributes greatly to out society as a whole, just take the time to care about the country enough to learn the language.
Do you beleive there is something inherently wrong with that viewpoint?
Reply:I agree with one poster who said it is the illegal candidates.
However, I do believe that they are necessary. In the oil and gas industry, for instance, they are about the only ones who are willing to work on a dangerous rig during the middle of the hot summer sun to get problems taken care of. They are willing to do the jobs we are not willing to do.
I think many Americans have the misconception that illegal immigrants are taking jobs from the American people. I do not believe that is true. Most employers would rather hire someone who can legally work in the US, but it is sometimes hard to find ones who will.
Furthermore, there are many immigrants who do not pay tazes like you do. Therefore, we, as the American working class, have to pay for their hospital visits, their insurance, and their children's schooling. I do not believe this is fair.
However, I don't want you to believe that we do not like immigrants in general. Actually, I have found that most of the American people are intrigued, if not fascinated by, other cultures and their practices. I don't think we have any problem with ethnic practices. We have celebrations for religious holidays of all different religions, we celebrate black history month and many other ethnically diverse activities. In general, I think we encourage diversity, even if some ultra-conservative republican candidates voice otherwise.
Reply:I am not against imigrants, just illegal immigrants. What bothers me the most, is illegal immigrants are expecting all the freedoms and liberties that legal immigrants and people who where born here get. If you come into our country illegally, you are a criminal and should be treated like one. Every last one of them should be sent back to where they came from, without any questions being asked.
If you want to live in the Unites States you should learn the English language, if you want to hold on to your language, you should never have come here, you can speak all the Spanish you want in Mexico. If I moved to another country I would learn the language before I went and would not expect everyone to learn my language. LIVE IN THE U.S. - SPEAK ENGLISH!!! Wha
Reply:I have no problem with you maintaining your culture and language, just don't try to make everyone else conform to it. If an american moves to Spain, they would need to learn spanish, I think all immigrants need to learn to converse in americanized english. If you go to France you need to learn french. Same thing here, I don't mind if you practice your own language or culture at home and with friends, thats your choice. When you tell me I have to speak your language in the country I was born in, then we have a problem.
Reply:I share a "distaste" for illegal immigrants, and I have for over 10 years, now.
As for legal immigrants, I do believe that our nation is made stronger by its mix of cultures.
Reply:Don't try and switch the subject. We welcome legal immigration in our country. We do not and will not accept any illegal entry to our country or any company that hires them.
Reply:i wasn't aware of a republican bashing legal immigrants , please leave a source so I know not to vote for him , will check back tomorrow . Of course support for english as the official language is not a distaste , it is simply a way for everyone to understand each other
Reply:I felt the same way, I am an American born citizen and I saw that many of the Republicans do not have a support for immigrants however I do see that only a few of them will STRONGLY oppose ANY immigrant chance to changing their status. Jim Gilmore, Tom Tancredo, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, and Duncan Hunter were the ones I saw with a STRONG opposition to allowing at least some illegal immigrants a chance.
Reply:You must have worked on misunderstanding the point because you have distorted the h*ll out of it. Cultural diversity is wrecking this country. That's not to say that one shouldn't practice the culture they bring to this country, but to do so without any attempt to blend in is harmful to the unity of society.
Reply:They were speaking of illegal aliens, not legal immigrants like yourself or my French-born daughter-in-law.
It is fine to use your native language at home or with friends, but not publicly, such as in the workplace or public offices.
Honoring your native culture is ok as long as no American law is violated. It should not be used to protest the US however.
My daughter-in-law refuses to speak French here, she thinks it is rude. My son speaks French when they visit her mother in France.
I am strongly for legal immigration and protecting the rights of legal immigrants and I commend them for their actions.
I am equally strongly opposed to illegal aliens who forfeited rights by entering our nation without permission, flaunt our laws, use their native culture to denigrate our society, and demand their native language be accommodated.
Reply:I can't speak for other places, but where I live(which is Democrat controlled and heavily pro Democrat) most people are against illegal immigration and it is mainly because illegals have really messed up our community
Reply:Ask yourself this question? What would happen in that "legal" immigrants country? In his country where he comes from are there 20 million people who are speaking 15 different languages. If he is from Mexico are there 2,000,000 million russians speaking only russian? Are there also 3 million Chinese people only wanting to speak Chinese and not learn spanish which is the "official" language of Mexico? Are there 1, 000,000 million Arabs from Egypt Libya and Syria only speaking Arabic and not wanting to learn Spanish?
Ask yourself this? In Japan there are no immigrants living there. You will not find 2 million Africans living there and speaking African languages. could you imagine tokyo having a population of three million latin Americans that only will speak spanish and then go rioting in the streets protesting to give them bilingual teachers to teach their kids in Spanish. NO! A country like Japan does not celebrate "multi'culturalims and diversity. That is why there is no trouble in Japan. There is no one taking japanes jobs from the Japanese. Also the japanese do all kinds of jobs. they pick crops they are fisherman. they work in construction and and they also wash dishes and clean tables in restaurants. The Japanese economy is not falling apart just because there are no immigrants living in Japan. That is they way it used to be here in the Us many years ago. In the 1930's 1940's 1950's and the 1960's people raised families while being dishwashers in restaurants and waiting tables and doing construction and putting shingles on the roof of people's houses. Also there were American nurses who changed beds in hospitals and cleaned and bathed sick patients etc. There were also maids who took care of peoples houses and minded the rich people's kids while they were out making money.
It is also not so much that immigrants work and go to school but no immigrant nowadays wants to learn "American" customs and "Aamerican" culture. It is just as if each immigrant group stakes out a neighborhood or area and then converts that area into a piece of the old country. Whether it be a piece of Russia like in the Brighton Beach neighborhood of Brooklyn or a little piece of Guyana in Ozone Park in queens NY. Or a picce of China and Korea in Flushing queens or a a piece of Mali in the southwest part of the Bronx near Yankee stadium. In each of those places you will no longer find people who speak english to you nor will you find any american businesses or stores. So there fore the American citizens feel pushed out a stranget in their own neighborhoods. Also let's not even talk about the crime and gang fighting and drugs and violnce liek was happening in Hazelton Pennsylvania.
That is why many people have distaste for people who don't want to learn to be americans or last year in many cities like Chicago and Los Angeles and Dallas where there were millions of Mexican waving "Mexican flags in the streets protesting and saying that they want to take over america. The Americans were so up in arms that the next time they had prrotests and demonstrations and stay at home from work days they had to have american flags for the television news becasue the first time the americans realized that most immigrants are only here to get what they can whether it be jobs or social services or to come for a free education and free hospitals etc.
Yes there have always been immigrants who came to thew USA but never in the huge amounts that have been comming in the last 30 years. Also in years past the immigrants had to learn english or their children had to help them and then the children grew up and spoke in english when performing daily routines of work and shopping ands they can speak their own language at home or at parties or barbecues etc.
That is why some politicians and many voting american citizens express distaste.
also in the 1990's it was discovered that there were some children of Japanese immigrants who were living in large numbers in nsouth America. FOR example in the early 1990's the president of Peru was a japanese immigrant who came to Peru as a little boy with his family. Also in Brazil and Chile and Peru there were many thousands of descendants of Japanes immigrants living in soutn america who spoke only Sapnish. In the mid 1990's there were a few thousand who "discovered their "Japanese" roots and went to try and live in Japan. I saw the documentary on television where Japanese people in Japan did not take too kindly to the new immigrants comming from South America because even though the new immigrants looked Japanese because their ancestors were Japanese but they did not speak Japanese and they did not have the Japanese customs and mannerisms that the Japanese people who live in japan had and there fore many Japanes people resented these new commers and many left but a few of them in order to be "acecpted" in Japan these newcomers had to learn how to speak Japanese.
So I hope this will give you a different perspective and viewpoint towards your question.
Reply:Cultural diversity = ethnic cleansing.
Surely you can understand how people might dislike seeing their own national cultural take a back seat to outsiders. How would you feel if you were being alienated in your own country?
Reply:Are you surprized? I'm not. But to answer your question, I and my friends and family are for immigrants any way you put it. And, I don't have a problem with people coming here "illegally" - I would to if I was in their situation, esp. if American businesses are willing to hire me. That doesn't mean I don't think the whole system should be fixed. I feel that immigrants of today, just like immigrants of yesteryear, should maintain their practices and language - but also should learn English as well. It serves the country and the individual. The Repubs and neo-cons are just louder than the rest of the country - doesn't mean that people really think that way or are against you.
Reply:I think it's the illegals that the candidates as well as the people have a distaste for.
Reply:Well, recent polls have shown that over 70% of the American population is against illegal immigration. I haven't been following the Republican debates, but I'm willing to believe they implied an illegal before they said immigration - since the majority of Americans are against illegal immigration.
As for maintaining your language and cultural practices...that's fine. I live in what is referred to as "Little Italy" for Pittsburgh, so I hear a lot of Italian. I know myself, and probably a lot of other Americans, have no issue with people speaking their native tongue or the tongue of their ancestors.
But we do have an issue with people (IE - illegals) who refuse to learn our language and then demand that the government conduct business is our language AND their language, or demand that schools teach class in our language AND their language.
Legal immigration, I support. Diversity is a great thing, and needs to be encouraged.
Cultural Diversity, I support. At the very least, it ensures a wide variety of ethnic food and I'm a fat man who loves his Chinese and Italian cuisine.
Illegal immigration, however, I am strongly against. Come here legally or don't come here at all.
Reply:I am not sure about all candidates, but I know that Ron Paul is not against immigrants, but rather he is against ILLEGAL immigration. It is his belief that various government programs are to blame for illegal immigration. For example, he wants to get rid of NAFTA, which actually creates poor working conditions in countries like Mexico and encourages people to try to get into the U.S.
Reply:I don't think so. Our distaste comes from the fact that our laws are not being enforced and that illegal immigrants are using their children (born on U.S. Soil) as pawns in their invasion plots and their plots to keep legal U.S. Citizens and law-abiding immigrants and their truly legal children from keeping jobs and continuing to build the U.S.A. Personally, I don't recognize children of illegal immigrants as U.S. Citizens despite their having been born here because they are here as a result of a premeditated act of subversion. These children collect aide to dependent children and SSI for their parents and since there are so many of them, they can live quite comfortably while their parents send the money back to their country of origin. This is abuse of the law-abiding citizens and must stop. We have not now, nor have we ever shunned cultural diversity. Illegal immigrants and their supporters are talking cultural diversity but are practicing exclusion, discrimination, subversive activities, fraud, and numerous other crimes. Their children learn what they live just like the children of law-abiding citizens learn what they live. When children learn the art of subverting the laws of the land and living off the fat of the land while committing fraud and disobeying numerous other laws, they are not maintaining their culture, they are forcing their culture onto us and We DON't LIKE it and we are increasingly more intolerant of particularly the Hispanic/Latino abuses. Why should the USA have to cowtow to the Spanish language and the Spanish Culture when we have so much diversity -- Russian, Polish, Czechoslavakian, German, Irish, African, Arabian, Asian and numerous other foreign nationals living in the USA who are complying with the laws and are not demanding that their culture and language overtake our own? The Hispanics have gotten so out of control and so in-your-face lawless that we U.S. Citizens are developing a total intolerance for everything Latino, Mexican, Hispanic, etc. Learn English, speak English, and stop trying to make the U.S. into a corrupt Mirror of Mexico.
As to the U.S. Citizens who are so intolerant. Don't the stewardesses on airplanes tell us that we should put our own oxygen masks on first so we can breathe and help others? If we don't have our own masks on, we could all suffocate. Therefore, it's time to put the U.S.A. and its law-abiding citizens first. We want the laws enforced immediately and without quivocation. We want all illegal aliens deported and we believe they can be. Their children should have all aide cut off and given the option of returning to their parents' country of origin voluntarily in lieu of being prosecuted for fraud, aiding and abetting illegal acts, harboring fugitives from justice, obstructing justice, etc. Any illegals who go back to their country of origin voluntarily after registering with the immigration department can get a free ticket home and they can get a preferential place in line after all those people who have applied to come to the USA legally and are hampered by the backlogs get processed. Their U.S. born children can return to the USA after they are 18 and after having served in the US Military for 4 years. That would be fair. Otherwise, prosecute and deport without waiver or warrant. No preferential treatment.
Reply:Heck no. I love immigrants. They work for less money than typical greedy, benefit-mongering Americans. The more the merrier I say. Laissez-faire capitalism is the only way to go. The government should get off the backs of the corporations and let us hire who we want, pay them what we want. Vote conservative! Vote for American business! Vote for deregulation!
MULTIPLE Republican candidates expressed distaste for immigrants. Is this the opinion of the general public?
If you come to America legally we will welcome you with open arms. If you jump the fence and hog up all those needless social programs implemented by dems with my tax dollars then yes. We don't want you here. Get out!!!
Reply:we have nothing against legal immigrants, but that does not mean we we sacrifice our national identity for higher tax revenues. i like how teddy put it.....
Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country.
Theodore Roosevelt
Reply:I'm a republican and my wife is a LEGAL immigrant. LEGAL immigrants are more than welcome in this country. ILLEGAL immigrants are not. as far as you language goes. speak what language you want, but dont expect me to learn your language and conduct business in that language. your culture? your an american now, you have to live in the american culture. if you cant handle that, then leave. dont get me wrong, if you want your native food, great, we'll all try it, but dont expect us to observe your native holidays and traditions. if were uncomfortable with your wearing some odd head covering or what not, deal with it and go on. remember, your in our country now, not your native country. welcome to america.
Reply:I believe there is distaste for ILLEGAL immigrants, not legal immigrants, as my ancestors, as well as , I'm sure, the candidates' ancestors came to this country from a foreign land. Cutural diversity is great, and, yes, you are free to speak whatever language you want. However, immigrants cannot expect for everyone else to understand them if they don't try to learn english.
Reply:The problem is with ILLEGAL immigration. No Republican candidate is against legal immigration.
Cultural diversity is an overused term used to describe why America is great, which is B.S. We are great because a diverse amount of people migrated here, assimilated, and contributed to making this country great.
Freedom is what made us a great country!
Reply:no, the Right does not hold distaste for immigrants...the Right is disgusted with lawbreakers.
lawbreakers who demand special privileges...welfare, food stamps, free housing, ESL courses in our schools...when it costs them NOTHING, including not having their kids innoculated against third-world diseases that they bring into the cramped atmosphere of the classroom, exposing my kids to TB, Rubella, Polio...all the diseases that we spent the last century wiping out, and illegals are bringing back in!
your mind is closed. and it's a pity that you see things thru such a tiny hole...otherwise you might actually learn something.
btw: I am the son of LEGAL immigrants, who fled Nazi Germany, and who worked very hard to become Americans...not German-Americans...just Americans...and they were darn proud of it.
listen: Borders, Language, Culture...the three pillars of any nation. we must maintain those three, despite what you liberals are trying to do to ruin it, so we can all be third-world miserable, just like you.
Reply:I was probably listening to the same sources you were but did not come away with the opinion that the Republican candidates disliked "ALL immigrants and cultural diversity". That simply is not the case. Their views are to the point that it is necessary for people to follow the laws to get here. Even if you believe that the way the laws are set up are wrong, those are still the laws. The way to make a better nation is to try and change the laws you dislike rather than ignoring them all together.
As far as your comment about them disliking cultural diversity, I think that is a very skewed and inaccurate point of view. I believe your reason for thinking that was because they believe that it is necessary for people living in the US to understand the native language. They never said anything along the lines of diversity being bad or even speaking multiple languages was bad. It is quite to the contrary. To contribute to a country, or to get what a country has to offer, you need to be able to communicate and understand the nation.
Republicans are against breaking the law to become part of the nation, they are in no way against immigrants in general... all of their ancestors were immigrants. Keep your cultural diversity; it contributes greatly to out society as a whole, just take the time to care about the country enough to learn the language.
Do you beleive there is something inherently wrong with that viewpoint?
Reply:I agree with one poster who said it is the illegal candidates.
However, I do believe that they are necessary. In the oil and gas industry, for instance, they are about the only ones who are willing to work on a dangerous rig during the middle of the hot summer sun to get problems taken care of. They are willing to do the jobs we are not willing to do.
I think many Americans have the misconception that illegal immigrants are taking jobs from the American people. I do not believe that is true. Most employers would rather hire someone who can legally work in the US, but it is sometimes hard to find ones who will.
Furthermore, there are many immigrants who do not pay tazes like you do. Therefore, we, as the American working class, have to pay for their hospital visits, their insurance, and their children's schooling. I do not believe this is fair.
However, I don't want you to believe that we do not like immigrants in general. Actually, I have found that most of the American people are intrigued, if not fascinated by, other cultures and their practices. I don't think we have any problem with ethnic practices. We have celebrations for religious holidays of all different religions, we celebrate black history month and many other ethnically diverse activities. In general, I think we encourage diversity, even if some ultra-conservative republican candidates voice otherwise.
Reply:I am not against imigrants, just illegal immigrants. What bothers me the most, is illegal immigrants are expecting all the freedoms and liberties that legal immigrants and people who where born here get. If you come into our country illegally, you are a criminal and should be treated like one. Every last one of them should be sent back to where they came from, without any questions being asked.
If you want to live in the Unites States you should learn the English language, if you want to hold on to your language, you should never have come here, you can speak all the Spanish you want in Mexico. If I moved to another country I would learn the language before I went and would not expect everyone to learn my language. LIVE IN THE U.S. - SPEAK ENGLISH!!! Wha
Reply:I have no problem with you maintaining your culture and language, just don't try to make everyone else conform to it. If an american moves to Spain, they would need to learn spanish, I think all immigrants need to learn to converse in americanized english. If you go to France you need to learn french. Same thing here, I don't mind if you practice your own language or culture at home and with friends, thats your choice. When you tell me I have to speak your language in the country I was born in, then we have a problem.
Reply:I share a "distaste" for illegal immigrants, and I have for over 10 years, now.
As for legal immigrants, I do believe that our nation is made stronger by its mix of cultures.
Reply:Don't try and switch the subject. We welcome legal immigration in our country. We do not and will not accept any illegal entry to our country or any company that hires them.
Reply:i wasn't aware of a republican bashing legal immigrants , please leave a source so I know not to vote for him , will check back tomorrow . Of course support for english as the official language is not a distaste , it is simply a way for everyone to understand each other
Reply:I felt the same way, I am an American born citizen and I saw that many of the Republicans do not have a support for immigrants however I do see that only a few of them will STRONGLY oppose ANY immigrant chance to changing their status. Jim Gilmore, Tom Tancredo, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, and Duncan Hunter were the ones I saw with a STRONG opposition to allowing at least some illegal immigrants a chance.
Reply:You must have worked on misunderstanding the point because you have distorted the h*ll out of it. Cultural diversity is wrecking this country. That's not to say that one shouldn't practice the culture they bring to this country, but to do so without any attempt to blend in is harmful to the unity of society.
Reply:They were speaking of illegal aliens, not legal immigrants like yourself or my French-born daughter-in-law.
It is fine to use your native language at home or with friends, but not publicly, such as in the workplace or public offices.
Honoring your native culture is ok as long as no American law is violated. It should not be used to protest the US however.
My daughter-in-law refuses to speak French here, she thinks it is rude. My son speaks French when they visit her mother in France.
I am strongly for legal immigration and protecting the rights of legal immigrants and I commend them for their actions.
I am equally strongly opposed to illegal aliens who forfeited rights by entering our nation without permission, flaunt our laws, use their native culture to denigrate our society, and demand their native language be accommodated.
Reply:I can't speak for other places, but where I live(which is Democrat controlled and heavily pro Democrat) most people are against illegal immigration and it is mainly because illegals have really messed up our community
Reply:Ask yourself this question? What would happen in that "legal" immigrants country? In his country where he comes from are there 20 million people who are speaking 15 different languages. If he is from Mexico are there 2,000,000 million russians speaking only russian? Are there also 3 million Chinese people only wanting to speak Chinese and not learn spanish which is the "official" language of Mexico? Are there 1, 000,000 million Arabs from Egypt Libya and Syria only speaking Arabic and not wanting to learn Spanish?
Ask yourself this? In Japan there are no immigrants living there. You will not find 2 million Africans living there and speaking African languages. could you imagine tokyo having a population of three million latin Americans that only will speak spanish and then go rioting in the streets protesting to give them bilingual teachers to teach their kids in Spanish. NO! A country like Japan does not celebrate "multi'culturalims and diversity. That is why there is no trouble in Japan. There is no one taking japanes jobs from the Japanese. Also the japanese do all kinds of jobs. they pick crops they are fisherman. they work in construction and and they also wash dishes and clean tables in restaurants. The Japanese economy is not falling apart just because there are no immigrants living in Japan. That is they way it used to be here in the Us many years ago. In the 1930's 1940's 1950's and the 1960's people raised families while being dishwashers in restaurants and waiting tables and doing construction and putting shingles on the roof of people's houses. Also there were American nurses who changed beds in hospitals and cleaned and bathed sick patients etc. There were also maids who took care of peoples houses and minded the rich people's kids while they were out making money.
It is also not so much that immigrants work and go to school but no immigrant nowadays wants to learn "American" customs and "Aamerican" culture. It is just as if each immigrant group stakes out a neighborhood or area and then converts that area into a piece of the old country. Whether it be a piece of Russia like in the Brighton Beach neighborhood of Brooklyn or a little piece of Guyana in Ozone Park in queens NY. Or a picce of China and Korea in Flushing queens or a a piece of Mali in the southwest part of the Bronx near Yankee stadium. In each of those places you will no longer find people who speak english to you nor will you find any american businesses or stores. So there fore the American citizens feel pushed out a stranget in their own neighborhoods. Also let's not even talk about the crime and gang fighting and drugs and violnce liek was happening in Hazelton Pennsylvania.
That is why many people have distaste for people who don't want to learn to be americans or last year in many cities like Chicago and Los Angeles and Dallas where there were millions of Mexican waving "Mexican flags in the streets protesting and saying that they want to take over america. The Americans were so up in arms that the next time they had prrotests and demonstrations and stay at home from work days they had to have american flags for the television news becasue the first time the americans realized that most immigrants are only here to get what they can whether it be jobs or social services or to come for a free education and free hospitals etc.
Yes there have always been immigrants who came to thew USA but never in the huge amounts that have been comming in the last 30 years. Also in years past the immigrants had to learn english or their children had to help them and then the children grew up and spoke in english when performing daily routines of work and shopping ands they can speak their own language at home or at parties or barbecues etc.
That is why some politicians and many voting american citizens express distaste.
also in the 1990's it was discovered that there were some children of Japanese immigrants who were living in large numbers in nsouth America. FOR example in the early 1990's the president of Peru was a japanese immigrant who came to Peru as a little boy with his family. Also in Brazil and Chile and Peru there were many thousands of descendants of Japanes immigrants living in soutn america who spoke only Sapnish. In the mid 1990's there were a few thousand who "discovered their "Japanese" roots and went to try and live in Japan. I saw the documentary on television where Japanese people in Japan did not take too kindly to the new immigrants comming from South America because even though the new immigrants looked Japanese because their ancestors were Japanese but they did not speak Japanese and they did not have the Japanese customs and mannerisms that the Japanese people who live in japan had and there fore many Japanes people resented these new commers and many left but a few of them in order to be "acecpted" in Japan these newcomers had to learn how to speak Japanese.
So I hope this will give you a different perspective and viewpoint towards your question.
