    DavenRoxy got a reaction from jil & ben in 2GO Online Tracking Is Not Reliable   
    You should never make plans while waiting on USEM for ANYTHING!! It says so on their website.
    Our interview was 10 Aug, and she got her visa today. So... 9 days total. It actually went out yesterday, but 2GO said the "house was closed", even though my GF and her family never left all day, waiting on delivery. So in our case, 8 days. But I have read anywhere from 3 days to 28 days on visa getting there. 2GO does not track the visa until USEM hands it over to them, that is why you get an INVALID response from their site. Once 2GO gets it, I would say 2-4 days is normal if you are close to MNL.

    You, sir, are the one who quoted scripture in response to the OP. It wasn't relevant nor necessary to the topic at hand.
    And I'm not an atheist, BTW.
    You are bringing attention to your heterosexual-ness, and trying to justify it by quoting scripture. Right or wrong (in your opinion, according to your faith), folks have the same right to be gay as you and I do to be "straight".
    I'll gladly continue the discussion via PM or if you start another thread, but let's not sully this thread, eh?

    Its kind of thing here in the US to respect everyone who died in our Civil War. It was brother against brother after all.
    I have no issue burning confederate flags, in fact the one time I ever received a suspension here was related to negative comments I made towards it.
    But its tactless to do this on Memorial Day.

    DavenRoxy got a reaction from Tahoma in opening bank account in the US   
    W-8BEN should be used if the applicant does not have GC yet:
    The form establishes that one is a non-resident alien or foreign corporation, to avoid or reduce tax withholding from U.S. source income, such as rents from U.S. property, interest on U.S. bank deposits or dividends paid by U.S. corporations.
    There are several things you can use to open your own bank account, or be added to someone's account. This site explains them fairly well:
    http://www.ilgrp.com/can-i-open-up-a-bank-account/
    Bear in mind, the bank's rules matter to THEM. They are not making the laws, but setting rules in place to stay in line with the Patriot Act. So yes, it depends on the bank.
    If they tell you you must have a GC, they are wrong. You can use GC or W8BEN. If they tell you you must have SSN, they are wrong, either SSN or ITIN will work. However... it's THEIR rules, so the burden of getting them to understand the rules in the link above is on you. If your bank won't budge, don't stress, just open an account with another bank that will take what you have. Nothing wrong with having multiple bank accounts; we have 4 in the US and 2 in the PI!

    Under current law, Florida residents can carry their weapons during an emergency evacuation only if they’re stored in a container or vehicle.
    Now they can carry on their person .. Great news when the police are tied up making sure folks are trying to get out of dodge . Thugs will think twice trying to steal from stressed out helpless people .

    So you are saying that it is something that has been done time and again throughout history? And that pretty much every society has done it at one time or another? And that we should be aware of it, but not dwell on it every single day? I am down with that concept!!!
    Are you African or American? Because if you claim to be African, you might be upset to find out that the Congo and Nigeria are in the top 10 of countries that have the most slaves. And the link doesn't hate on either of your two favorite oppressions: http://247wallst.com/special-report/2014/11/20/countries-with-the-most-slaves/
    In 2013, the US was ranked 134 out of 162 countries in numbers relating to slavery. So if you claim to be American, be proud that we are doing so well!! And that may be why you are as successful as you are today, and not locked up in chains and treated as sub-human.
    And you are right, neither of us know for sure. But one thing I DO know for sure is that I don't go around whining about what people may or may not have done generations ago, and how someone is owed something because of it. I work hard to provide for my family and try to raise my children right; I don't stand on anyone else's laurels, nor do I blame my current station in life on my family, my race, nor on how unfairly I was treated growing up. I am where I am because of me, period. I could have done better. I could have done worse. But I sleep well at night knowing I treat others decently and with respect until they prove to me they don't deserve it. I also don't complain about where I am in life because of how my grandparents were treated, nor how their grandparents were. Heck, I don't even know. I just know I have worked hard (sometimes) to get where I am today.

    DavenRoxy reacted to CowBoE in South Carolina policeman charged with murder   
    This has happened many times before I'm sure...to white, black, or any color victims.
    It's just that, this time they have a clear video. I'm hoping for a harsh punishment.
    Police were given guns so that they can provide protection to the society,
    and not for going human hunting.
    Yes, it's stupid for someone to run away from police, but stupidity doesn't deserve
    bullets in the back...when clearly the police was not in physical danger from a
    man that's actually running away from him.

    DavenRoxy got a reaction from Karmalicious in South Carolina policeman charged with murder   
    I know you are emotional about this sort of thing. Got it. But I also remember you being outraged when a perp is identified in the media as a black man. "Why can't it just be a man?" I believe you said. Well, here it is, all over the place that a cop shot a black man, and you seem to care not about that.
    Think about this:
    If there was no video, and the cop said a white man was trying to kill him, who would you believe? The cop, or the dead white guy who had a rap sheet?
    I wish you could see that the only race this is about is the human race. Doesn't make one bit of difference if it was a black cop and a white man, or even if it were a female cop and a 14-year old boy from Compton. It was MURDER. Plain and simple. And I for one hope the cop gets the maximum punishment they can give him, up to and including an execution (provided the video accurately portrays the situation and we don't find out later it was fake/edited in any way. Not alleging it was, but but it is very early in the investigation yet.). Murder is just murder, and it's just wrong.

    No, Marvin, the question is, why on earth did this officer, who is supposed to uphold the law, shoot a man in cold blood and then try to lie about it. Try to see beyond your own skin color once in a while, there are actually bigger issues at hand here.
