I really wish certain people would refrain from inventing scenarios in an attempt to stir things up.

Heres one what if, andygrif crawled back under his bridge and waited for goats

Russ · 29-09-2005, 19:56

Comments like that aren't helpful either.

Not directly, unless you're trying to stir things up?

Gareth · 29-09-2005, 20:17

Oh, that's alright then... I'll shut up now then

Russ · 29-09-2005, 20:19

Good! And stop being paranoid

Am I missing something, what is the relevance/connection between him winning the lottery and becoming a US Citizen ?

Russ · 29-09-2005, 20:24

They both happened the same day.....?

Yep, that's about all they have in common.

It doesn't matter...it was a hypothetical question to see how people would react then. Personally I wouldn't feel any different, but I bet that some people would be miffed - which is why i asked the question.

I don't understand your point. I presumed, by the wording, that I was asking the very question the OP was suggesting in his post. If there's a problem with it, feel free to remove it.

Thanks for your suggestion. I was asking a hypothetical question I feel your comments are rather more suited to a playground scrap than a sensible discussion, but that's just my opinion.

Forget I raised the point, forget the OP suggested the same thing (or at least I think he was suggesting it). The most telling thing about all the replies is that no-one has actually replied.

One thing I saw, which I don't think others did.... When he became naturalised, he already felt lucky/lridged. When he won the lottery, he became even more so.

Its something that gets overlooked a lot. Whilst hatred for America is at an alltime high, so are immigration applications, and not from terrorists either. There are many people out there who consider them privledged and lucky to be able to leave in the US.
