"They moved 1,000 agents over to doing background checks and security".

As an American, i applaud that move. I'd rather be alive working in my skyskraper then worry about the "needs" of impatient people.

Every illegal and immigrant annoys me when "national security" is some big fat joke. Next time, hopefully a plane'll crash into THEIR building and kill THEIR families and that'll wake their sorry asses up.

Eveyrone in the world is selfish -- i swear.

You are such an angry morron!

Unbelievable! Why are you even on this forum? I doubt it's to find out about your immigration papers since you so proudly let everyone know you're an American, every chance you get.

Why don't you stop wasting everyone's time by creating drama on this site! Enough already! If you don't have anything useful to say, just don't say anything.Geeez...

[moondin]

Wah Wah Wah

That time of the month huh?

[Catherine J.]

Seriously, answer my question...

Why do you come to this forum if you're a US Citizen and not applying for any sort of immigration papers?

What's your point, besides annoying people?

I think you're a teenage brat with a bit too much time on his hands.

[moondin]

Cuz i'm doing research for a very handy unique immigration site me and my partner are developing. And we need to know WHAT KIND of information immigrants (and illegals) are specifically requesting.

You should be THANKING us, cuz we're making the whole immigration process a bit easier to understand. Promoting LEGAL immigration through better understanding of the laws.

Pretty endearing motives don't you think?

I wouldn't go as far as calling it "endearing", especially if you are hoping to get some form of revenue from this project. Having said that, now I see why you would have interest in immigration forums such as this one.

However, knowing now what you are here for, I'm even more surprised by your constant antagonistic remarks since you are supposed to be here to learn and research the needs of immigrants...not put them down.

I won't be thanking you just yet because, as you said, you are still DEVELOPING this site, which essentially means that so far, you haven't made your "valuable" information and help available. So right now, you're not helping me in any way, shape or form. Until I really see proof that your efforts will make the immigration process easier to understand, I won't hold my breath.

But thanks for clarifying your motives.

Moondin is here because he can, as easy as that. One of the good thing about the US is its freedom of speech. Now he might get ridicules and beat up because of it, but its within his right to insult anyone he wants

[moondin]

hell yeah!

You called yourself an American, but you don't know what is the true meaning of the Freedoom of Speech Right. I think you should be disqualify as an American and take the naturalization exam.

[marmaduk]

What exactly are you referring to the true meaning of freedom of speech? Do elaborate since you seemed to be an expert. (yeah right)

Naturalization exam is a joke. You have about 100 questions that they can choose from, and you might as well memorize the answer. It doesn't show anything about your character, principle and integrity. Any criminals and gangster can pass the test easily too.

[JasVN]

I told you to take the naturalization exam because I was being easy on you. I don't think you capable to analyze the American History. If you said the Freedoom of Speech is giving you the "right to insult anyone", then you have abuse the Bill of Right which the American fathers create to protect you.

[marmaduk]

Freedom of speech giving you the right to voice your opinion. Whether its constitutes as an insult to another person, is totally depend on the other constituent. And if you have difficulty understanding that simple of a concept, then I'm guessing its your lack of education and/or your twisted mindset is partially responsible.
Then again, anyone can spewed a bunch of garbage while hidiing behind the internet.

[Catherine J.]

Freedom of speech may allow one to speak their mind but if they use this right to constantly insult and put people down, ultimately this individual will be the one suffering from alienation. No one wants to be friends with someone who has very little respect for others (and most likely little self-respect as well). JMHO.

So freedom of speech, yeah sure, but use it wisely and constructively. Otherwise, shut up; it's as simple as that!
