Travel Forum & Career Advice Forum

[Sinergy 3]

I should clarify.... The buddy idea was not for immigration issues at all. It was for "making new local friends" and a way to talk to local people that may have "local geographic and social" information on helping fellow new immigrants settle in. Immigration discussion is as always best on the forums.

That sounds GOOD, and im all for that happening.

Nothing wrong with being a fan of Capt. Ewok, but I think you'd agree with him even if he suggested soup sandwiches.

I agree with Ling Ling, who is always very intuitive, that a careers forum for newcomers would be a wonderful asset. The US can be a jungle without paths when it comes to offering insight to people from overseas who want to land on both feet as soon as possible. Here, especially, the mentoring concept could work.

Thanks for having an open mind.

Firstly, you dont know me from anywhere, secondly i agree with him bc HE makes sense. Third, i think your only arguing with me now for the sake of wanting to argue. All i have to say is grow up, there are ppl that will agree with you and ppl who wont, the sooner you accept that, the better off you will be.

He made sense to YOU, when you THOUGHT he was advocating a buddy system for immigration, or when he EXPLAINED that it was for non-immigration?

How are those soup sandwiches coming along?

Damnit...somebody close this thread...it's circling the drain thanks to the hator-aid.

Maybe not a nice observation via humor, but I wouldn't call it a personal attack.

[Sinergy 3]

Yes its always easier to close the thread when you cant make ppl agree with you

I agree with ewok, and i respect ewok and his suggestions. If i didnt, id say i didnt. However i do on this topic. It is not my fault that you can not stand it!

It was a personal attack, it was not humor at all, it was a personal attack on becca.

Just as you have personally attacked me on this thread!

My last word is i like the buddy system, and i dont think there should be more forums for work/travel. Its clearly up to ewok to decide.

Im no longer contributing to the ugly argument you are willing to continue and i condone the personal attacks that you find funny.

Nope.

My parents named me Rebecca JoAnn.

Rebecca for my grandmother and JoAnn because I guess it sounded good.

As a child I was called 'Becky Jo' and that is still what my family calls me.

My husband calls me Rebecca - most others call me Becca.

And his name is Robert Wesley. After his uncle Robert and John Wesley, the famous protestant.

He can trace his lineage to a Lord during mideval times in Ireland. I can trace mine to the American Revolution.

I only eat possum on days that end in "Y", I disdain the wearing of shoes, and I'm late getting down to DHHR to get my foodstamps renewed for January.

Ling Ling - all I'm saying to you is that if you have really done that much good around here, then the good will follow you without advertising it.

Ahhh- I see..The folks that don't agree with you "hate you"?

...Yes, that MUST be it. After all, it couldn't be that the folks that disagree with you have as valid a point as you do? No 'course not.

Yeah you are right, your ideas suck JUST because they come from YOU, and we disagree because wwe are "hators"....... no other reason at all. /that was sarcasm btw, b4 you hit that report button/.

Your title is "earned stripes", mine is "advertising". Let's just agree to disagree on that one, and move on. The hators are abandoning their posts,

so maybe now we can have some intelligent discussion/debate on the merits of the proposed forum(s).

You know, i am quite sick of your personal attacks and insults. No one will ever want to hear from you or what you have to say if you continue to act like a child who doesnt get his way. Learn some manners and then maybe ppl would like to discuss issues with you.

[Ling Ling 22]

blah, blah, blah

I thought you were leaving!

Thank you for your contribution, insight and sarcasm.

Please feel free to review my disclaimer.

Now altering my posts? tsk tsk bad boy bad

i was leaving until you began attacking a very respected member on here.

[William33 110]

I will ask only once for everyone to cool off and get back on topic.

This is getting ridiculous...

[Ling Ling 22]

Capt....if you get through the mess here...what's the course of action for determining and implementing a new forum?

Thanks,

Ling Ling

[Sinergy 3]

Great....ok so IMO no i dont think we need more forums on work and travel, and a buddy system i think is real good to have, as ewok described it.

again this is MY OPINION. It is in the end, ewoks decision.
