Could someone please explain to me why the US made that Gerrncard thing a frickin' lottery??
(I just read up on that out of curiosity.)
That doesn't make sense :|
I mean, why can't they simply test the people who want to immgrate?
(And I'm not saying that because if that were the case, I might actually have a chance. Well, maybe I am XD)
It boggles the mind.
When I told mum about that, she was like "But then, they might let real idiots into their country"
Oh, really?
Well, *I* am an idiot too, but in another way. And I'd like to think they might like idiots like me XD
Cool fact: When dad heard about me reading up on the whole immigration thing, he was like "You go there. I would've done that too if I knew the language"
Awww <3 <3 <3

BTW, what was that stuff about the Xmas war at WalMart?
Did they really change "Merry Christmas" to "Happy Holidays" for a short while?
How weird is that?
That's as if they were implying that Xmas is a religious thing.
It's not!
Well, it maybe was like, a hundred years ago.
But today? All economy.
Xmas is about presents and candy and putting up lights.
Hell, a good portion of German (and probably American, too) kids have NO IDEA why we started celebrating the day in the first place.
And here comes Wal Mart and makes such a fuss about the greeting.
Geez!
But I'd love to live in a country where such weird thigns happen. Sounds like fun XD
*will shut up now*

We already have a population of idiots in this country. Sad but true...

You should come here for a bit. You'd be surprised!
Living in good ol' Germany for 25 years made me think I'd actually be happier with the US idiots...

LOL!! I think we'd be surrounded by idiots wherever we chose to live...

Best way to get a green card:

- get a job with an American company (or a German company that will send you to the states) and apply for the card after you're in the States on a visa. You bypass the lottery, since you're already there.

- marry an American. Sad as that is, that's the easiest way to a green card. Find some serviceman in Germany who will marry you for a couple of years (he gets extra "married" pay from the govt, you get a green card; hush-hush and all that, everyone's happy), get your green card (after 2 or 3 years, I think), divorce, and voila! I know, I know, icky and immoral and all that. And sadly, when I was in Manila, there was a line about 200 long at the US Embassy. I asked the Marine what the line was for, and he told me, "They are all applying for fiance visas."

- Move to Canada. It's like the US, but colder and less guns.


Every system has its loopholes. You just have to look for them.

And the funnier thing is: I wanted to try for German citizenship back when I was living in Dresden. But not enough German or Turkish blood in me, according to the system. Darn. :-)

It's "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" almost everywhere now.. I don't exactly agree that it's not religious at all anymore, though. Yeah it's commercialized, but most of the kids I know would still be able to tell you the story. Then again I live in the Bible Belt.
