by truthseeker inthe third study article in the august 15th wt is entitled "tired, but not tiring out.".
it is of interest that the borg are further reducing the quality of life for their members by the following paragraph (pg 24, para 11).

An honest question...
by TallTexan inlet me preface this by saying that what i'm asking is a legitimate question.

Would you marry not for love but for a visa?
by Atilla ina friend of mine was approached by a asian family living here in the u.s. that wants to get a family member, a 18 year girl living in the south east asia region here to america.
they want my friend to get married to this girl for a year or two so she can eventually become an american citizen.
the family living here has offered to pay for all expenses; my friends air ticket over there and back along with any other expenses incurred plus a lump sum payment upon her successful immigration here to the u.s. my friend is maybe considering it but he hasn't even seen a picture of the girl yet and he is somewhat older(about 9 year difference) than the girl.. now if they fall in love or consemate the relationship, that's totally up in the air and i guess open to bargaining and my friend would totally be free to get a divorce once the girl gets to the u.s. i did ask some of my friends what they thought, and everyone pretty much said no.
