sandinista!

Am realizing now that I'm totally parroting what other people have already said in the sex club thread. Serves me right for thinking I could take a pass on the sex club thread. Note to self, always read sex club threads first.

There is a scenario in which 1st degree murder would apply and I believe this is where the jury got hung.
First-degree murder involves premeditation, but the very definition of premeditation, in the legal sense, is not all too clear. In the classical sense, it is easy to understand it: You buy a gun for the purpose of killing someone and carries it through. In the case of Dunn, it is quite clear he did not leave his home with the intention of shooting anyone but the moment he pulled out his gun to shoot the unarmed kid, premeditation took place. He was not in a fight, defending himself, nor can he claim anything other than he had a gun, the other guy didn't, and he decided to prove his point in the worst possible way. A prosecutor can make the case that the moment Dunn went to his car and pulled out his gun, premeditation attached. He was not in imminent danger, nor was he being attacked. Many consider that premeditation, as evidenced by the jury.

The numbers jive. My kid will be nearly as old as the the OP's fiancé when I'm her age. How that's hateful is beyond me, it's just numbers. No one's been rude or hateful about it. On the other hand, you've been rude and snippy since you first chimed in here, as well as being completely off point.Non MENA people can study MENA norms, cultures, and standards until the cows come home. What ultimately matters in the situation of an American woman who is significantly older than her fiancé, with a significantly larger amount of adult life experiences is what that man's life experiences are and his relationship skills and abilities to relate to a wife who is at a completely different place in life, with those life experiences formed in a completely different place from where the guy is coming from. If he doesn't have the actual experience, as is common in MENA, does he at least seem promising? Squawking at Futureberberwife, like it's anthropology pop quiz time, doesn't have anything to do with what she was asking. Yea, north African norms are way different from north American. Everyone's clear on that. What matters, and what I think Futureberberwife was getting at, is how does the OP plan on dealing and adjusting to that? Can she? Will he contribute and try equally as hard? That'll be up to them. Hopefully it works. Lots of people have tried, and some have succeeded. Lots haven't. But anything less than Pollyanna is like hateful, blah blah blah.

For the first time in 11 years of marriage, my husband got me a valentines gift. We dont exchange gifts for these thing so I had to let out a huge chuckle when he gave me dill flavored cheese curds and said happy valentines. He picked them up ar a truck stop in wisconsin on Thursday. It was hilarious.

De La Soul is dead.

What serious scientific evidence do you have of risks related to any vaccine currently on the market? Would you rather have those shots now, or get infected with rubella during your pregnancy (causes severe birth defects)? Transmit whooping cough to your newborn (potentially lethal)? People tend to forget that these diseases can cause death or irreversible damage. Being a "pro-active health person" will not protect you from tetanus or measles.
Vaccines SAVE people. You don't claim to be a paleontologist, do you? So don't claim to be an immunologist.
Should you decide to refuse the vaccines, your application would be denied. Like others said, there is a waiver if your rejection of immunization is based on sincere religious/moral beliefs. My understanding is that being "apprehensive" does not make you eligible for a waiver.

IMO this thread should have been in the MENA forum a long time ago. Because all of us, regardless of what petition or visa we file for, have to deal with the same stupid bullsh*t with the world's worst US Embassy. Lucky us.

This can be problematic though. Yes, English is the predominant language in the US. But English proficiency is not required to get a visa, at all. This is likely a challenging, intricate consulate, and some information might be lost in translation to English for the beneficiaries. Rules are rules, and are in place for good reason, but at the same time the website is supposed to help people who need assistance with a difficult process. The thread is long, and has been viewed a lot. Obviously those participating are committed to it. It seems unfortunate at the same time to possibly leave someone out who needs help from this thread because their English isn't great.

My husband more or less doesn't care if he knows any Moroccans here. There are a few guys he's met that he'll talk to occasionally, but they're not a major component of his social life. This may change as the kids get older, and he has more time for socializing outside of family, but maybe not. But other Moroccans weren't really a factor at all in his settling in here.

French, like Nicolas Batum, whose dad was from Cameroon? Or François Hollande? Brazilian like Gisele Bündchen, or an Amazon basin native? Does a pretty darn American looking person look like a Cherokee or an Inuit, or Shaquille O'Neal?

Jinx, lol. Should've refreshed before posting

Unless your man is Coptic, divorce in Egypt is as common as the USA. Even among the Copts it happens here and there, they just can't remarry in the Church again.

Our gal on the scene, Mithra, is absolutely right when she advises actions, not words. I'm not saying your guys is scammy, either, but that never divorcing thing stands out just because divorces are common. Every year the Egyptian government gathers up divorce statistics and they're published in the media. Google it and you'll see for yourself that the divorce rate is high - right around 50% for women under 30 years old. Perhaps cousin-cousin marriages are the norm in that particular family and that's the grandfather's underlying reason.
Does dad realize how much treatment for his "heart problems" are going to cost him in U.S. dollars, treatment that is fully available in Egypt, at the German hospital in Alexandria? Again, I'm not saying scammy, I'm just saying that you should watch closely because the need for medical treatment, with a signed paper from a doctor saying the treatment is only available in the U.S. - when the intention is to stay and, ideally, open a wildly successful business - in order to by-pass immigration laws is an urban legend in Egypt.
Actions, not words.
Oh, and those two Facebook groups? Overwhelmingly catty and mean with a lot of "my husband is better than your husband" mixed in. In fact, I got kicked out of one because I was offended by a Muslim Olympics gold medal contender and told her so. They invited me back; I refused.
How does one look "pretty darn American"? Just curious.

^^^^ I didn't even think about the cousin/cousin marriage thing. You're on to something there. My husband's family has a lot of that going on and they don't divorce. There are a couple divorces (my SIL and husband's uncle) but those are non cousin marriages.
Oh man yeah that medical situation seems on the shady side.

Gentrification is a shift in an urban community toward wealthier residents and/or businesses and increasing property values, sometimes to the detriment of the poorer residents of the community. Gentrification is typically the result of investment in a community by local government, community activists, or business groups, and can often spur economic development, attract business, lower crime rates, and have other benefits to a community. Despite these potential benefits, urban gentrification results in population migration, with poorer residents displaced by wealthier newcomers.
I love how the OP will kind of put his "own spin" on the matter. It has nothing to do with Blacks not wanting to improve their neighborhood. How many people in a depressed community can afford Traders Joes? You normally only find these types of grocery stores in well to do neighborhoods. I can't imagine living in a depressed community and living on a very tight budget having a store like this in my backyard.
Furthermore it would be different if it was a community grocery store with people who own the store from that community. The problem with gentrification is that the owners of these establishments aren't even part of the community, most of their profits leave the neighborhoods and are not re-invested into the neighborhood in which they earn their profits.

MENA VJ archives. Read 'em. You don't need a time traveling Delorean, just learn how to use advanced search, or go back a few hundred pages in MENA (there's a little tab above where it shows what page you're currently viewing that lets you plug in any random page number you want). It's kind of interesting to travel back and see what people's mindsets were, and how they are now, and how or why that changed. And how and why some things are exactly the same, and that's ok. MENA VJ paleontology can be informative in all kinds of ways.

I won't name names, but there have been many posters over the years who had crystal clear major alarm bells raised before their SOs even had interview dates, but barreled right through anyways, damn the consequences. The train can be stopped a lot farther back. It's not USCIS' job to stop all the trains, and it's certainly not what AP is for, etc. Ultimately that responsibility lies with the petitioner. I guess it's important to be considerate that importing totally obvious scammers, or total sociopaths has effects that go beyond just the petitioner and their families?
