To me, fairness is having an open opportunity to make my life the way I want.I personally could give a dam about what anyone else has. Why do you? Is it "fair" I live 3 years longer than someone else? Is it "fair" someone gets cancer and you dont?

Yeah that good ol "fairness" can be quite a divisive tool huh? To be "fair" is to be a fool?

Harshly worded...but it is a correct concept of fairness...any laborer of any sort is entitled to their wages. Simple enough...labor = wages. This is economical fairness in its most simplest of state

Once you get rid of taxes and government, the only way you can stop other people from taking your stuff is to have a bigger army than they do.

Am I wrong? Or is it easier to just say "wheres mine"?

"Not fair!" is what a loser says when he gets beaten fair and square. In other words, fairness is a lie at worst, and a myth at best.

Wel(thats)fare. :whistle:

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

Fairness is living my life how I see fit without government or nosy moral idiots telling me how to live my life/taxing me to death where i cannot.

Just because your life may suck, doesn't mean your entitled to any part of mine.
