Beware of phishing scheme

@Betik I am impatiently awaiting your reply. This should be good.

What ? did "Jefferson" give it away ????

I apologize for the late response, I was on probation from the website until I submitted a copy of my naturalization certificate. I guess the administrators acted on @swatski advice real quick.
I know swatski is keeping an eye on me, so he knows when he sound start packing

In a serious note, I think Jeff is mostly correct although over generalized for the fraud aspect of it. Anyone here thinks that @Amar Nanduri can commit fraud ? Me on the over hand... well I am Greek, we invented the Trojan horse, and that says it all.

Now on a real serious note, yet very politically incorrect one I would like to say the following: You guys ( the American born ones) are given your country away. It is great for me and the likes of me, but you are giving the most valuable thing in the world for free. Instead of receiving a "thank you for your generosity"; you are insulted by being called "racists and xenophobes". Try immigrating to a different country and let's talk about racism and xenophobia. I am not going to bore you to death on how xenophobia is an evolutionary necessity. When Korea people say they want Korea to remain Korean it is okay, but God forbid Americans want to curb illegal immigration are xenophobes. My family traveled a lot in Europe and I do not know how to tell you in politically correct way, but the US is by far the least xenophobic county I have been. For crying out loud I was out of Greece for 3 year and when I went back to Greece I bullied as "foreigner". My parents were serving for the dam Greece embassies in the eastern block during the cold war and I was "foreigner" . For the record, I came in the US not long before the towers went down and I have lived in NY, FL, DE, IL & TX. The only remotely xenophobic experience I have is people asking me to spell my Greek last name ( Kyriakopoulos). And at times, they asked me to repeat something ( very politely). People will even apologize to me for saying "it is all Greek to me". WTF, I come to your house, I cannot speak your language and you apologize to me? This defies logic and rational thinking. Please spare me the "white privilege" non sense as my Korean wife will tell you the same thing: " I am not sure what discrimination these people are talking about" !

As I have told a few family friends; I tell you the same thing. One morning, legislatureand executive say, all non Americans get the must leave. I say " thank you for the amazing 18 years" and get out ( yes voluntary deportation Mitt Romney style) . Why I say such outrageous things ? Because I have cleaned Greece's dirty laundry and they always told me " you are welcome". I show up here and in 2005, I was getting paid $11 to tutor English to elementary school kids. Swatki you think my English is bad now?
We have a family friend who was an intelligence officer and one day he flat out asked me "why you never say you are an American". And I told him " it will be an insult for you that I claim the tittle American the same way as you do". It is just not right. If he thinks I meet the qualifications, it is great honor, but sure as hell, knowing 100 questions about American history does not make me more American than a parrot. For the records, 30%+ of those questions are of questionable accuracy, but that is another subject for another day.

I even know that half of you would want to rate this post as "agree" or "like" will be hesitant to click on it. What happened to the bill of rights ? They start with the 2nd and then 1st and 5th. The very principals that are making this place great are eroding and nobody seems to give a shit. The Greeks, the Romans they are fell not because their armies sucked, but because they lost cohesiveness. We are going down, real quick and I worry that my kids will inherit a very different country than that one I came too. The historian of the future will rightfully accuse us of same sins which the Greeks of the 2nd century BC are accused when they invited the Romans to help Greece. Yes, I speak of "platonic" treason.


@swatski please do not call my mom about rant. She worries I will be picked up and send to Guantanamo bay.

Naturalized immigrant here. While in Texas, watching legislators fight about the burden created by requiring individuals to prove who they are to vote, is between sad and funny. I can't enter a plane or court house without ID, but for voting.... We don't want to enforce knowing who you are??? A strength becomes a weakness when overused. Another very thankful naturalized citizen here.
