Based on another topic going on in OT at the moment, it seems that some people would prefer that OT were free of politcal/religious topics, which tend to get heated. I can understand that. As such, I am considering starting such a board so that people can vent/debate to their heart's delight without having to worry about keeping it "clean" or causing problems at VJ. Moderation would be very minimal, and there would be no advertising.

What do you think? Would it help keep OT more open for other things? Would it cause more problems?

Tell me what you think.

Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. ####### coated bastards with ####### filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive bobble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine.

I think I'm offended at your sliding a question about Marmite in there.

Everywhere I go on this forum, it's Marmite, Marmite, Marmite. Sheesh!

:P

Electricity is really just organized lightning.

A separate forum for politics... A separate forum for games.... etc.....

Agreed....

I actually agreed on creating a Divorce forum because it has something to do with immigration, if you divorce an immigrant that is.

But since this is an immigration forum, political and religious debates are off topic... and that's how they should be in my opinion!

OUR COMPLETE TIMELINE

Latest steps:

10/26/2006- Consulate receives case (seriously, one month to receive the case?? BS!), and packet 3 that I sent even before they had received the case.

01/02/2007- Interview!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got a 221(g)

01/23/2007- Second Interview. VISA granted!!!

01/29/2007- VISA arrived.... no envelope though. I'm gonna contact them and see what happened this time!

01/31/2007- I'll have to send them one last financial support evidence.

02/01/2007- Evidence sent

02/02/2007- Evidence received by Consulate

02/06/2007- Consulate sends envelope!

02/07/2007- Envelope received!!!

02/10/2007- Flew to the USA!!!!!!

04/17/2007- Wedding day!!!

--- Wish us luck!!! ---

Amen brother.

And no. I wouldn't post. Tend to avoid those debates. Eat lots of popcorn during some of them though. Starting to get a wee bit 'bound up'....

A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

A Platypus can stay underwater for 1.5 minutes, by the way....

According to the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service:

Platypus can stay underwater for up to 10 minutes.

Ah, you are correct. Guess that's what I get for checking only one source, eh? I re-read it though, and it says that they typically only stay underwater for 1.5 minutes before surfacing, but they CAN stay underwater for 10 minutes. I should have kept reading. lol

And to think my screen name used to be PlatyPius.....

I'm going to create the Rant/Discussion board by the way. I'll post here when it's ready.

It's cool that you want to create that, but I don't know if people will move their discussions there if they feel off topic is a good enough place for it to happen already.

Married since 9-18-04(All K1 visa & GC details in timeline.)
