Lisa, I will say again very sincerely that I am sorry for calling people names. I am sorry I wished bad upon people. I just wish people wouldn't wish bad upon me, but that doesn't give me the right to do the same. It's up to you now if you are willing to accept the apology and move on. But I don't really think it needs anymore discussion.

Like I said, it's much easier to be nice than be a ######. So, let's just leave it at that.

If speaking my mind frankly & not mincing my words makes me a biotch then I wear that title with pride!

Actually, I'm perfectly fine with accepting your apology, Mel. I never have nor never will wish bad upon you!

Remind me WHO is was that "wished bad" on you. I saw no ill intent towards YOU at all.

Anyway, do you know where Gary is by any chance?

It was several individuals on the thread who expressed opinions that those who came over illegal should never be allowed to come back to the country and/or should never get citizenship. My husband came over illegally and his citizenship will be very important to us one day. Unprovoked, I would never say to someone I hope they don't get citizenship, or I hope they pay the rest of their lives for their bad choices, so it seemed really awful to me, and also very hurtful. And if you are referring to GaryC, your guess is as good as mine.

Well, the folks " thought people who came here illegally should be banned for life..." that's just an opinion....Everyone has one. What I really want to know is what's your guess on Gary? Tell me your guess and I'll let you know "if your guess is as good as mine"

What the hell does race have to do with this conversation. I am an african american and I got my job honestly because of my experience and my education. There is no need to be a racist here.

The govt is full of people who cannot be fired.

Add affirmative action, and that is why 1/3 of all black people in the US who have jobs work for some level of government, and it is almost impossible to fire them. Women are almost as hard to fire. The work environment is so stupid that few smart, independent people can stand it, and those that can, get pretty apathetic after seeing incompetent "official minorities" get promoted over them.

Yes, there are good people in govt, but it is NOT the norm.

My guess is that Gary gave up on Luz's visa and is moving to the PI to be with her...then again, I read his thread where he says just that...located here.

lol just a cute addition:

Lawyer: Gov't workers got fake diplomas

SPOKANE, Wash. - At least 135 federal employees, including a White House staff member and National Security Agency employees, bought bogus online college degrees from a diploma mill, a lawyer in the case against the mill operators said.

ADVERTISEMENT

Some of those who paid thousands of dollars for phony diplomas include a senior State Department employee in Kuwait and a Department of Justice employee in Spokane, defense lawyer Peter S. Schweda said Wednesday.

The bogus degree purchases by the federal workers were revealed Wednesday during a U.S. District Court status conference for five defendants in the case against the mill, The Spokesman-Review reported Thursday.

None of the federal officials was identified during the conference.

"We're not going to disclose who bought these degrees until after the trial is under way," U.S. Attorney James A. McDevitt told the newspaper.

The alleged ringleaders of the bogus diploma mill, Dixie E. and Stephen K. Randock Sr., were indicted in October 2005 on charges of conspiring to commit wire and mail fraud and laundering almost $2 million in diploma mill receipts from 2002 to 2005. The indictments were the result of an eight-month investigation into the mill.

Eight workers at the diploma operation have been charged, including the Randocks.

On Tuesday, Kenneth Wade Pearson, 31, webmaster for the diploma mill operation, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud and receipt of child pornography.

Pearson said he would provide evidence and testify against the Randocks.

Pearson, who likely faces three to five years in prison, remained free on a $10,000 bond. The judge postponed his sentencing until December 2007, two months after the Randocks and three others are scheduled to go on trial.

As webmaster, Pearson set up and maintained as many as 125 Web sites for sales of fraudulent college and high school degrees worldwide, investigators wrote in court filings.

More than 10,000 sexually explicit images of children were found in four computers used by the Spokane-based operation, government lawyers said, but only Pearson was named in pornography charges.

Material provided to the defense by the Justice Department shows at least 135 government employees bought college or university degrees to use in seeking promotions or pay raises, Schweda said. The phony diplomas came from such places as St. Regis University, James Monroe University and Robertstown University.
