Which brings us to the more interesting question, is consciously leading someone to misunderstand something without uttering literal lies more morally OK than giving the same misconception through plain lies? I guess it has applications in politics. | ||

Telling people you're a doctor is maybe going to get you girls, but not much else. You have to show that you are a doctor if you want the rest. | ||

This reminds me of the Looney tunes show episode where Daffy duck changed his first name to professor. honest answer. probably but your basically using the etymological fallacy to trick people and there's really no legitimate point to it that I can think of. also depends on what country your in, some countries regulate names. | ||

I was just looking this up the other day. Sonora Mexico has banned a ton, can't even name your kid Metallica. Socialists. | ||

Also, if your child end up actually taking a doctorate, it'll sound silly. | ||

(of a meeting) to be attended by all participants at a conference or assembly, who otherwise meet in smaller groups. "a plenary session of the European Parliament" I believe this is the version you are looking for. | ||

exciting new mortgage payoff trick has the banks on edge I'm confused by why the banks are afraid to get their money returned to them. Any guesses? | ||

If I imply that my method of paying back the bank is somehow bad for the bank, people who resent the bank because they got a bad deal will be more apt to click? | ||

But if you pay off the mortgage, they can no longer control you. Thus they are afraid of that happening. No, they are actually good, but somehow can't help but use the money for evil things - like loaning it to control people. By paying them back, you give them the opportunity to enslave even more people. They know this and therefore wish you would not pay them back, knowing for which purpose the money would be used. Banks are not evil but mere a tragic victim of their own nature. | ||

The only real reason I can think of is that they wouldn't make as much off of the interest, but if your bank is at the point where it is relying on interest from Mortgages to keep the lights on, it may be time to find a more stable financial institution. | ||

I know it's not the most loyal thing to do to your firm but they've hardly given me much reason to be loyal (long story), wondering if it's possible/ is this done? It'd be New York in Finance/Banking if that context helps, because I'd love to relocate to New York from London. I have literally no idea how the VISA system works in the US, all i know is there is also a green card for permanent stay right? And there's an impossible lottery, American employment or marriage is the only way to get one. I imagine it is possible, but you would probably need said firm to sponsor your visa because your UK based employer would flip you the bird and tell you to not let the door hit you on the ass on the way out. The system for work visas is tiered in the US based on what kind of work you do/ability. Good with V2 rockets? Tier one at least after WW2, it goes down from there to stuff with advanced degrees to picking fruit etc etc. In most of the permanent work visas the impetus is on the employer to solicit the Petition for Alien Worker. http://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/permanent-workers/employment-based-immigration-first-preference-eb-1 http://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-through-job | ||

From there you can get started working on your H1B visa. Once you have your H1B visa you can transfer to another place of employment wherein they simply transfer your H1B visa from your current place of employment to your new place of employment. You start the H1B process early in the year and are put into a lottery. Keep doing it until you get the H1B. Once you have transferred to a new job with your H1B, start working on your Green Card since you only have a limited amount of time on your H1B. | ||
