Actually, that was Heinlein's plan for voting rights.

France does the same thing with the French Foreign Legion, and unlike their regular immigration policies, it actually works.

My hubby and I are at odds on this one. He thinks this new law they're trying to pass is terrible! Probably because half of his family would then become criminals. My view? You SHOULD be considered a criminal if you enter ANY country illegally. As Richard said, why should you be granted the same rights and liberties as me when you broke the law to get here?

Richard, I would grant them citizenship under one restriction. First they have to complete a 6 year enlistment in the military. After that, they're home free.

Good idea!

I always wanted to be a Starship Trooper...where do I sign up?

Being a space cadet is so pedestrian.

-------------------------------

Deb,

THAT is the biggest thing that irritates me....

THEY BROKE THE FRIGGIN' RULES..........

------------------------------------

One of my biggest peeves of the day?

My mayor....

I have seen this guy on TV 5 times at different events in the last few weeks.

He started the LA marathon, He was at a Hollywood walk of fame dedication,
On the Ask the Mayor segment on the local TV station, in New York for some school thing and at City Hall pandering to the protestors...

If there is a camera around, he'll be there.

Pet peeve of the day.

Traffic cops. You are there to direct traffic, correct? So why is it that you are doing exactly what the light is telling you to do? Do you really need to stand there and waste our taxpayer's money? I know how to go when the light is green. I don't need you to tell me to go on top of that.

If a cop is there to direct traffic, shouldn't they go out on a limb and go against the light?

Stupid people with stupid questions.......

Today when ordering lunch I told my co-worker who was on the phone with another co-worker what I wanted.....a vegetarian cheese sandwich. He proceeds to ask if I want meat on that.....um, that would be a negative, hence forth the vegetarian part.

Ahh, such is life. Might reconsider my very old plan of living in an igloo far, far away.

I'm sorry but I had to LOL at that one!
This can also go in the Stupid Quotes thread.

this happens a lot. listen up people of columbus!!!!!
this is an XRAY DEPARTMENT, NOT A BABYSITTING SERVICE! you cannot bring an infant, toddler or small child into the xray room while you have films done. it can be unsafe for a child to be exposed to radiation, if it's not medically indicated. i considered duct taping one very bumptious child to a chair today, as grandma was having her mammogram. look i know it can be hard to get sitters sometimes, but for petes' sakes, xrays can be dangerous, so don't expect your kids to be babysat by the staff, bring your friend to watch little fred or irma. thank you...whew i feel better
**edited** let me say, this is a scheduled test, not a walk in , i got hurt, i need to see that my arm isn't broken type thing. this woman had an planned for, timed study that was to last an hour. sigh
