Each country should not carry its JH> own quota. There should be an overall quota. Do you honestly JH> believe that x amount of people will _ever_ immigrate from JH> Sweden or Norway? Make those set apart places available to JH> those who desire to come. SB> [...snip...] JH> That's what the quota system does. It unfairly tips the scales JH> toward those who don't desire to come here at all. SB> [...snip...] JH> And why do you have a problem with non European immigration? JH> Could you live with an overall quota or do you favor the JH> country by country quota? Yeah like the entire nation of JH> Luxembourg could immigrate in what 2 years? SB> Jean, you have fallen into a snare here -- your statements imply that SB> you think ONLY (or MOSTLY) third-world nationals would want to leave SB> their homelands & immigrate to the USA... Your comments indicate you SB> cannot fathom Europeans having the same dream of a better life that SB> would culminate in their leaving their European homes and immigrating SB> to the USA ... And, to top it off, I would say that attitude is far SB> more "racist" than what you are accusing the quota system of being. No, at this prsent time mostly non-europeans want to come here. I am saying end the "quota by country of origin", make it a "first come, first served, regardless of origin" type of thing. Because in the future it may be that _mostly_ europeans want to come here. I feel that this is fair. The various folks who have been replying to my answers are against having an immigration standard which _might_ tip the racial balance in this country. I say that this is a racist attitude. So far no one has been able to sway me with any logical argument in favor of the current system. SB> As for the quota system being racist -- that is hogwash. The quota SB> is the same across the board, for EVERY nation... as John said: JS> Limitations are set by Congress and are equally aportioned JS> between ALL countries with no consideration of race, religion, JS> etc. So Mexico has the same number of preference category JS> visas each year as does England. SB> If the gov't selectively gave tiny numbers to third-world nations SB> then gave exorbitant figures to a non-third-world nation, then you SB> could make a case for racism -- BUT by EQUALLY dividing the numbers SB> between ALL nations, we can assure that every nationality will have SB> ample opportunities for legal immigration, which is MORE than FAIR! SB> Does this all make sense? (I hope you're not offended) I'm not offended but I don't think that you got the gist of what I was trying to say. Re: above statement.

Not really. I had the unnfortunate learning yesterday about how far some businesses in the US will go to get more geld (money)! I had a different company supply me with another oxygen Concentrator. (I have to use supplemental O2. As it was, my concentrator that I got from A___a Home Healthcare a year and a half ago quit flat. This bothered me. In trying to get help from this company, I was met with all sorts of charges to tend to my unit. Like $45.00 just to look at it. $75.00 to take it in to teest it out. Then another expected outlay of $300.00 to get the thing fixed. This and no loaner while they fixed my own unit. Then they laid on me a charge of $476.00 as rental on another unit, 1st & last months payable in advance. About $900.00 just to work with them. SOOOoooo. I got another company. These were much better people to work with. They were the fifth company I dealt with. So out they come with a technician. Takes one look and said, "You bought this 18 months ago? This thing has been out of manufacture for 3 1/2 years at least. Then I caught on. The original company, asked 3 grand for the machine and the insurance company talked them down to $1,900.00! In checking further, that company had taken a rental unit out, patched it together and re-sold it as new! The unit I now have costs $865.00 retail. So. Essentially, as a disabled person, I had an egregious company attempt to extort more money because I am essentially helpless. Slavery? At least that was honest slavery where they knew for sure what the score was and they did have alternatives. These days, I see a modified form of slavery which legally bilks the disabled, seniors, and especially the uninformed out of billions of dollars. Consider our own little B of A that would charge you for the very air you breathed in their banks! These guys will take advantage, even when you can prove your balance, by "returning NSF" checks each day until they hit their own tolerance level. I checked once and found that the payee on one check had been paid, the check never returned, but the bank charged NSF charges multiple times. And a lot other money people do the same thing! It was known that Vince Foster who was "Arkancided", made secret or covert trips to Switzerland Banks every month. Now we have a useless trip to Africa and another to Central America. Now, the IRS and other auditors are looking for billions of dollars worth of equipment that the DOD and other agencies are missing! They are even missing 2 patrol boats of all things. And to, a lot of weapons are missing. After 4 1/2 million in AK-47s were caught being smuggled into the US through Los Angeles, with the dis-Honorable John Huang conducting the chorus, now we find Schlik making out a bill to bar the importation of "assault weapons"! Slavery?????? I wonder if when you drive between 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and foreign banks, you might hear the slight sound of suction as money is drawn off and shipped out. 8-) Heaven knows there must be a bunch of similar sounds around there! OK. I am very pproud of being an American and my family has sacrificed their lives to the max for her. Even though we have a measure of dimenishing freedom and / or Liberty, the greedos pull so much money out of us that we are all at risk of losing our futures. Many, many people live from pay check to pay check. Just barely eating, clothing and sheltering themselves. With the slavery of the 19th century, that's just what they got!!!! But, with the hated "Massa they knew what was going down next week, next month or next year! Theere must be an underground railway for an American to escape being taken advantage of!

You've yet to take any kind of strong stand *AND* convincingly argue for its support. All you've posted are sentence fragments that resemble spoonerized sound bytes, and nothing more -- there has been nothing of substance posted by you. When asked for clarification you cry foul and insist you're being attacked -- which further obscures whatever it was you were originally trying to say. Further, your atrocious punctuation intensifies the chasm between your fragmented sound bytes, your questionable "message," and the people on this echo you have yet to make a connection with in the realm of communication (case in point, look up and see how you ended your sentence with a comma, and NOT a period)... I would also suppose that the "agrumentative juices" you made reference to should have read as "argumentative juices" -- and if so, you have yet to even come close. Without anything substantive coming from you, you are answered as easily as one swats a lazy fly -- I've yet to see a single regular break a sweat in communicating with you. Bottom line: if you have "big guns", bring them on. Otherwise, quit talking like you have stunned us with your brilliant oratory (at best, your comments have earned a few giggles -- but I think you would rather that folks laughed WITH you, than AT you, as it was on this echo) and accept that you tried, you failed, get on with your life.

As I learned in school, the human mouth is the most bacteriologically filthy orifices of the human body! A person like this, when dating others, just a simple good-night-kiss could prove to be responsible for a lot of suffering for innocent people down the line. With simple gum sores or fever blisters in or about the mouth, the person can get germs, spores or microbes into or out of the human bodies faster than anything that I know short of injection. The Democratic National Party should turn out a bulletin with a rule, "Don't ask, Don't tell, Don't hug, Don't kiss, Don't swap spit, Don't have Oral Sex, Don't have normal Sex, wear a "condom-Body-Suit" to any WH nction. These Democrat girls are just gonna have to give up being a liberal member of the Democratic Party and switch to the Republican Party if they desire a healthy, more disease free relationship. That should go for the uys as well!!!!!! BUT Then? If'n I was a Disease Free Conservative Republican, I kinda think I would like to stay that way. Maybe all Democrats should date within their own party! No sense starting a pandemic because of Schlik's refusal to let his medical report be made known. Agai Ahh Says.. Again I say, >>>>> Where is the Washington DC ealth Department ???? <<<<< Who was it that caught typhoid and infected so many people by just being in the same room with them? I don't remember atall. The reports of the VD were out in 1996 as you recall from the AP release. With this kind of thing being forever under all controls, it does make the body easier to be infiltrated by other diseases.
