AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the complexities of voting, political influence, and the role of the United States in global affairs. Participants express a desire for a third-party voting option to challenge the two-party system, particularly to remove President Bush from office. There is a debate about the validity of foreign opinions on U.S. elections, with some arguing that anyone should be able to express their views regardless of nationality. Others highlight the issue of representation, particularly for U.S. territories like Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., which lack voting rights in federal elections despite paying taxes.The conversation touches on the perceived responsibilities of the U.S. in international politics, with some participants questioning whether the U.S. should intervene in other nations' affairs. The title "President of the World" is critiqued as an oversimplification of the U.S. president's influence, with arguments made that such a title implies a dictatorial role rather than a democratic one. The discussion also includes a critique of U.S.

Basically what i am asking is the following : is the USA really the land of opportunities ?

Why not apply for some jobs and find out?

If you are looking for nice, sweet, wholesome girls may I suggest the San Fernando Valley? :)

Outcast,...

Thanks very much for your reply...very interesting.

I have a master degree in theoretical fysics and i will be studying for two more years in order to become an engineer. My dream is to help developing machinery that is used in hospitals or radiology for example. So you can say i am mainly interested in nuclear physics and nanotechnology and stuff like that.

My worry is that if you have studied at a university in Belgium (Ghent) will they accept my degrees in the US ? Generally it is very well known that math education is of a very high standard in Belgium even already in high-school. Also lagnuages are quite ok in here because every student will speak Dutch, French, English and a little bit of German at least...

Are these properties a big advantage or not in the US. I mean (don't get me wrong here) are educated foreigners regarded as an solid economic source in your country and are they given the chance to develop themselves ?

Basically what i am asking is the following : is the USA really the land of opportunities ?
If so, i'll be there in 2006 or 2007 (i think California is the best right? I mean for high-tech-industries and nice girls :smile: )

regards
marlon
I can't help you out on California, never even been there. Have no desire to live there heard too many bad things about the place. I live in a sleepy little southern town of Greenville, SC. Not much here. But I would bet some of the people in the area have probably heard of Ghent, or maybe even went there.
In 2000 alone, there were 76 international firms located in Greenville County. In the Upstate region, there were 245 companies from 20 different countries and as the Greenville area expands, the presence of international companies continues to influence growth and development.

167 companies have divisional, regional, national, international or other types of headquarters in the Greenville metro area. Of these, approximately 100 are located in Greenville County.

Now if you were into automotive engineering, instead of medical, then there might be something of interest for you here. Some of the local companies are getting together to compete with the big boys of the automotive world. Doubt if you heard of them.
Michelin Investing in Upstate S.C. Auto Research Park; Will be Joining BMW, IBM and Microsoft Ever heard of BMW? The letters stand for Bubba Made Wheels. :smile:

language skills would be a big plus. American are at a severe disadvantage, because most of us only speak a single language.

fisipavia,

Most of all, the title "President of the World" is poetic and does not reflect my belief that the U. S. should rule the world. It would indeed be against the democratic process, dictatorial, to assume that 3% of the world's population should decide policy for the other 97%.
iuff! I am so happy right now.

Well, there were those things, what're they called, something like "World War I and World War II".

uhm I don't see any validity to that statement since there were other countries involved before USA.

Wtf...http://www.threeworldwars.com/overview.htm
History records that this First World War did indeed occur as predicted. The Western powers in Europe, in conjunction with the United States, financed Lenin's expedition into Russia, and financed his government consistently. The US has financed Russian Communism at least once per decade since then.

This doesn't make any sense. Why would USA finance their enemy?

It was the Germans that sent Lenin to Russia to help overthrow the government and get Russia out of the war.

We sent troops to support the Czar

President Wilson agreed to send troops to North Russia after repeated requests were made by the British. General John J. Pershing selected units of the Michigan National Guard’s 85th. Division; the 339th Infantry Regiment, one battalion of the 310th Engineers, the 337th Field Hospital and the 337th Ambulance Company, totaling 5,500 officers and men to proceed from England to Murmansk on June 1, 1918.
