Hey angrybits! My original plan was to spin my HN score counter down to zero by making true and blunt statements about the drivel posted on this site (which would, natch, be down voted).

Communication to me from a person identifying as a moderator suggests to me that the deplorable tone and content of this forum is managed and encouraged by moderators.

I have now lost interest in this site. I'm now hanging out lobste.rs which I find much more meaningful.

Aww, you took a news item about Islamic fundamentalism in Bangladesh and put in a comment about gender politics in the US south. This is sure to get up-voted, because you know, Amerika is bad. But just to be sure, you put in 'I may get downvoted'. That was a cute touch. No one on HN can resist that combination.

I always thought Buddhism was an off-shoot of Hinduism - a kind of cleaned up version by the Buddha, who was born Hindu.

But it serves to show Amerika in a bad light, which pays the bills. The rest is just detail.

"Rich people in the West, they have not touched dead bodies, fresh wounds, rotten things"

1. Grandma's funeral. You stole her glasses. Tee Hee. Boy was she cold.

2. Soccer. But you bit the other guy too.

3. That sandwich in the rucksack, left over the weekend. Eww.

Yes, as far as I know the lottery is independent of anything else, but you should check the USCIS website and consult an immigration lawyer.

Be careful with the lawyer: try and get one through a recommendation of someone you trust who has used their services. Because of the high demand for immigration into the United States, there are many unscrupulous people involved in such matters.

1. You can apply for permanent residency under the extraordinary individual or highly qualified individual (if you have a specialty profession e.g. STEM)

2. Academic and non-profit jobs don't have a cap. You could take such a position and then apply for permanent residency.

3. You can apply for the green card lottery (I'm assuming you are born in France).

I think it is too low, for a person of your experience and past salary history and the responsibilities that you will be taking on.

I doubt all Europeans are as sanctimonious.

Use FedEx Kinko's. Wear a baseball cap and sunglasses when you go in.
