Fake disorder? Please tell me more because for the most part ADHD isn’t a fake disorder. Over diagnosed, maybe, but fake, nope.

Clyburn’s time as chair will likely be brief, but she’ll be in charge of the FCC until Wheeler is confirmed by Congress.

Which means she’ll be here until the end of the year amirite guys?

Like many migrant workers too? Look, there’s a difference between migrant workers, immigrant workers and illegal immigrants (regardless of where they come from). The major thing that needs to be fixed as said below is legal immigration. It should not have to take xxx amount of tries just to get someone in especially if a woman marries into a family and now has to go through more hoops because they’re married. Corporations shouldn’t have to dictate when someone is eligible for their green card sponsoring (the government should). It should be very simple: If they do everything a good citizen should do, then yeah they should become citizens and should be able to work here. Right now, that’s not necessarily close to the case.

No, but in terms of A) Getting awarded citizenship and B) given privileges as a citizen, they should wait longer and have to pay back all of the back taxes owed. Yeah it’s harsh, but for the many citizens that do immigrate legally, from Africa to Asia, South America and the Middle East, they shouldn’t be put on hold for things because of people immigrating here illegally.

Someone suggested a 10 year legal system independent of job status, I’m inclined to agree with that scenario as long as they’ve demonstrated good citizenship (i.e., pay taxes, no felony or major misdemeanor, etc).

It’s more about legal liability than anything else.

I agree with reform, the only caveat I would have is that the child should be given privileges if brought here illegally but not the parents and the parents should be forced to “the back of the line” so to say.

I thought the plan was still 2014 and it’s looking to be mostly on target. The problem is that the Middle East in general is a powdered keg, which is weird because although Africa has similar stuff, it’s not to the extent. But I do agree.

This would be a steal if done.

I’m serious, if you want to talk about any social entity that has rivaled Facebook since it’s exploded, it would be Tumblr, and if they integrated it with Flikr, that makes for a damn good entity.

Higher education isn’t inflated, wages are deflated and have been for years. The bigger issue with people is that they look for top tier institutions not realizing that they’re research institutions rather than teaching institutions. Combine that with all of the luxuries you would expect out of a college and there you go with such a high price tag.

That’s why I said the following: " I also think that there are far many people that simply need the degree to say “Here’s the dang paper you wanted” and from there could easily go through the application route." and for people like you and many other Americans, it maybe better to have said setup.

I’m actually not surprised. I respect Rovio but they haven’t been able to have that super smash hit since Angry Birds. Being a publisher will allow them to invest in other big hits while they take more time to develop their own (ala Nintendo).
