What European Union country has the easiest, least stressful, immigration policies for US citizens? I have looked into Ireland due to the language being English, but policies seem to only work if I can get a job, and only if the employer cannot find anyone else within the EU as a suitable fit. Unfortunately I work in marketing research and I feel there are plenty of UK citizens who can fill the position as advertising and consumerism is quite strong there. Cost of living is not too much of an issue, as I have already lived in some of the most expensive cities in the US, such as New York. I do realize that before moving anywhere you should visit the country and talk to an embassy. Thanks.

as an Englishman who is currently on business i the USA i feel i must ask the above.
Most Americans think i am a alcoholic, just because i get drunk every night on Strongbow and spew up in the gutter and then fight with everyone..
Dont they understand this is what Brits do at night?

Perverted-Justice (A vigilante organization) is being sued left and right by numerous people and organizations for their tactics. The latest is 100 Million Dollars for the Texas Incident.

What do you think about them going down in a ball of flames and having to declare bankruptcy? Their vigilante organization is basically being shut down because of their own pride.

It's been 27 years since I was in college, and now I'm going back. They are demanding my shot records. My pediatrician has been deceased for 20+ years, and I don't have a clue who took over his practice, if anyone. The Health Department said they can't help me, since my shots weren't given there. Everyone keeps telling me that I can get the shots (MMR)again. I'd have to get one shot, then one month later, get a booster shot, and prove to the college that I got it done. The other alternative (which is what I'm probably going to choose) is to go to my family doctor (or lab) and get a blood test, showing immunity (which will prove I got the immunizations when I was a child). Here's my question.... Why is they so adamant about this? No one can (or will) answer this question for me. I've been just fine, and don't want to be forced to take these shots. My daughter was also required the same thing, but it was simple, because I have her shot records. My parents are deceased

Times have changed now. The constitution provides enough rights for the criminals and the people accused in criminal prosecutions.

These days my human rights friends tend to act as apologists for murderers, rapists and end up defending people like Ted Bundy.

We have only been married about 18 months. My wife has taken our 7-month old son and left. She is a German citizen and holder of a Green card. She is now attempting to get a German passport to remove him from the USA, dual citizenship for him until 19. There has been no domestic violence or any problems, indications are she has been planning this for awhile. I miss my boy, I am a stay-at-home dad, I have been his primary care-giver since he was born. She has now locked me from all bank accounts and I have no money to fight her, legal aid won't help. I am lost, last possibility is tht my sister sponsored he and now plans to pull that sponsorship, what happens then? Especially to Christopher?

This is the (theoretical) case: two near cousins having foreign citizenship and living in their country travel to USA. They are legally married under their national law (that, in the case, is also the law of their usual home).

Q1: their marriage has legal force in USA also? or a US/State law forbidding near cousin from having sex/marrying each other prevent also foreing law to take effect in USA ?

Q2: they can be criminally prosecuted in US for being married ?

Q3: they can be criminally prosecuted in US for having sex while staying in US ?

Sorry for my English (advices about a correct use of your language are welcome).

I understand there will be alot of answers that involve the moral reasons why polygamy is illegal, but our laws are supossed to be based on "moral" reasons.... just criminal ones. (Kind of like same sex marriages)

So, answer me this, why on earth is polygamy illegal? Who are we to mandate that a man in Utah can't have 2 wives?

Quotes from article for those who don't wnat to read it:

At an evening event in Laconia, Giuliani cited Democratic proposals that would take income taxes from 35 to 39.6%, dividend taxes from 15 to 39.6%, and capital gains taxes from 15 to 28%. He also took a swipe at Democratic rivals Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and Edwards at an evening town hall-meeting at a lakefront hotel, equating their campaign promises to socialism.

"I have a picture of all three of them. On an airplane. They're all heading for France," he said.

**********************************************************************

Giuliani argued that he favors less government and lower taxes.

"That's what makes America great, not this nanny government that Democrats want to give us, where government controls your entire life," he said.

I struggle with this right.
I am working in a mental health team and drugs companies often lay on lunches and dinners with guest speakers to talk about various issues in mental health work. They are not promoting their products per se but of course they do pay for food and booze! All this when there are people worlwide who cannot afford essential medicines while these same companies rake in massive profits.
I feel kinda bad for eating the food - what do you think?

Why does our judicial system incarcerate so many Americans(more than any other country on earth); yet allows foreigners to waltz across the border with no consequence?
Do they have more compassion for others than their own citizens? And why shouldn't we revolt against their tyranny?

Here is a real life example. My daughter had tubes put in her ears about 3 years ago. They are supposed to naturally fall out but one did not, so she needed a simple out patient procedure to remove the one that did not fall out. The procedure took 5 minutes to do and she was in and out of the doctor's office in 1 hour.

We get the bill and even with my health insurance, I have to pay $300 out of pocket. Not a big deal for me, but that could be a lot of money for some people. I start looking at the bills and it turns out that if I did not have insurance my out of pocket costs would be $5500. Remember this is for a 5 minute procedure.

How is somebody without insurance expected to pay for that. Who is too blame? Are the doctor's offices charging more to everybody else to make up for underpayments by insurance companies? Are medical lawsuits to blame? I don't have the answers, all I know is that system is bad and getting worse all the time.
