How can i persuade my parents to move to America?|110415

Im a 9 year old kid and its 2 weeks until my birthday. My dad refuses to get a job so far and I don_t really have the courage to ask them _Can we move to America?_ If I say just that then they_ll laugh or something and I have a 40% 60% chance of it happening so can you help me?

The famed Carnival Pony trick.
You attach a stick to their head.
In front of their eyes, attached to the stick is a carrot.
If your parents seem to enjoy following that carrot for days on end
just ask them, if they would like to live in a country where they can chase the carrot forever and ever and ever...............

Then tell them there is a place called -- A med ica,
A place where we build fences to keep people out ( IN?), where you need an exit permit to travel OUT of the country. A place where 500,000 people a week are losing their jobs, A place where 5,479 homes are forclosed a day. If that does not work,,
tell your dad that, if he goes here he can date Pamela Anerson.

You_re asking for quite a lot in one go so be aware of the process.

Most importantly, to live in the US you have to be able to work there to pay for your future. The only way to legally live and work in the US as a non-American is by obtaining a _Green Card_. This is a lenghty and expensive process which can be rather daunting. If neither your mom or dad has any work lined up before the application, it is likely to be denied - making it impossible for you guys to move.

As a best way forward, I would suggest going on a holiday first and doing lots of reading about the place(s) you_d like to go. If you are still as excited about the US after having been there for some time your dad will understand you better and will be more openminded to the change.

Been several times and it_s a nice place, but I am not sure whether I would want to live there.

You_re 9 years old and using Yahoo! Answers? Kid, go do something else!

Second of all, do you realize what you_re asking your parents to do? It_s not as easy as, _Sure sweetie, we_ll go to the United States on the next plane._ It can take YEARS!!!! to become a legal resident. You might be an adult by the time you become a legal resident. It took my uncle almost 10 years to become a legal resident.

Third, the United States is doing HORRIBLE right now because of the economy so your mommy and daddy aren_t going to simply find a job. It_s really hard out here and it_s only going to get worse.

I know that you_re just a kid and you think that life is as simple as the way you want it. But kid, hang tight. Enjoy your childhood years and if you still want to move here when you_re older, come over here and don_t let that dream go.

Things are about to get really, really bad here and you_re probably better off where you are.

The _globalists_ want to bring the USA down to the point where the people will be grateful when they _rescue_ us with a more restrictive form of government and a global banking system. For that reason, we will probably be hit the hardest by this global recession intentionally created by the _globalists_. MUCH more money leaves the country than comes in due to treasonous _globalism_. No government official will address the true problem... just the symptoms... because they_re behind it. There can or will be no turnaround with such a large debt and trade deficit. Obama wants to build a _domestic security force as powerful as the military_. Why is there going to be such trouble we need that? The poor and unemployed will be needing the work and they_ll join Obama_s army to feed their families. It doesn_t look good...

er, you_re nine years old? well, firstly you_re too young to even be on this website. secondly if your dad really doesn_t have a job, how do you expect to afford being able to move to america? be patient, kid. nine more years and you can go by yourself. just don_t smash your piggy bank for a decade. i was upset when my dad turned down a job offer in germany when i was younger, but he wouldn_t have got paid as much, even if i think it_s a nicer country. i think your parents are more financially knowledged than you. they_ll have their reasons for not wanting to move to america. :]

You can_t _move_ here (legally) unless you have a sponsor. You either need to be coming here to go to university or to be employed. Either the university or employer sponsors you.

Well they don_t give welfare to non-working people here in America who aren_t citizens or on their way to being citizens. Stay where you are for now and move when you are 18.

tell them that in America, they have 99.9% of becoming rich INSTANTLY. That will make them pack their bags and move to America.

you want to move to america? gosh id love to go there. anyway try telling them all the good things about it

What is the coolest neighborhood to live in in Brooklyn?|185083

I_m moving to NYC to go to grad school and think Brooklyn might be the best place to be. I_d like some advice on what neighborhood(s) you think are the coolest to live in.

there are lots of great neighborhoods in bklyn....and they_re all different. it depends on what is important to you. look into: park slope (nice park and neighborhood), williamsburg (the _hipster_ haven), and brooklyn heights. these areas are on the expensive side, however, so you might have to hunt more. craigslist can be a good place to find an apt without the brokers fee, but it takes patience and persistence...good traits to develop if you_re gonna be a new yorker! good luck in grad school...hope you love nyc.

I haven_t been to Bay Ridge for a while but I remember it as a very middle class place . Depending on where you live, it is not far from the water. Also you can get the subway and go to Manhattan from there.

Brooklyn Heights is also nice and convenient to alot of restaurants etc. Lovely brownstones --- pricey.

Brighton Beach.

Cool means different things to different people. I grew up in Borough Park and that was and remains a very interesting neighborhood. I went to high school in Bay Ridge and that has become a bustling cosmopolitan neighborhood. Park Slope has long been a neighborhood with unique character. Brooklyn Heights has become a yuppie haven. Gravesend seems to be about the only large middle class family neighborhood left.

Park Slope, parts of Williamsburgh, Greenpoint, Bay Ridge, Manhattan Beach.

Manhatten

Williamsburg has gotten very trendy the new Village so to say.

in the rubbish ! stupid

bensonhurst or midwood

Rent Do the Right Thing on DVD.

bayridge is a good place thats from a new yorker who lived there 35 yrs

What is the cost of a doctors visit in America?|175824

Or do you have to have medical insurance? In New Zealand a visit costs from thirty dollars and public health at the hospitals is free, interested in the comparison.

Interestingly enough, there was an article about that in today_s New York Times, comparing the cost of health care in Canada vs. the USA.

Check out the link below to read the article, but the short answer is that health care in the USA is VERY expensive! You MUST have health insurance because even a simple visit to a hospital emergency room can cost, like, $10,000!!

Unfortunately, the people who could decide to give Americans the sort of affordable health care enjoyed by the rest of the civilized world are all corrupt and they profit from the fact that we don_t have affordable health care, so, we probably never will (see 2nd link, below)

Different doctors charge different rates. There is really no set guideline an there is a huge range in pricing.

You can have insurance and the then pricing will depend on the kind of policy you have...some people pay a 10 USD deductible for doctor_s visits, some pay a little more. Some get certain testing and procedures free, others pay a fraction of those.

There was a story on the news just the other day about a family who brought in 2 salaries, paid their bills, etc, but one member of the family got cancer and needed a treatment that wasn_t covered by their policy and the only way they could afford to pay for the treatment was to declare bankruptcy after they spent all their savings on services so they could get public health services for the remainder of the treatment.

Unfortunately, this happens here quite a lot. Here_s the video of the story:

I_m assuming that New Zealand, like a lot of European countries has national health care (at least that_s what your description sounds like). The US has been trying to institute something like this for decades with no success, but it seems Obama may try again or at least try to improve the health care system so people don_t have to choose between food and medicine or between having a roof over their heads and staying alive.
