Touched a nerve, did I? :) Yes, but probably not in the way you think.
I just don't like the 'bandwagon' fans...
that's why I think the Tar Holes have so many, because it was ASSUMED they'd win for so long.
I might add that the loudmouth, smack-talking, and yes, arrogant UNC fans in my office have been raaather 'subdued' the last couple seasons.
A little humility is a great character-builder.

LMAO, your 'commie friends' probably don't even realize they're in the South sometimes.
To: Constitution Day
To tell you the truth, I wouldn't mind a little fair weather pruning of Tar Heel fans myself.
To: Constitution Day
I dunno...does Raleigh count as the South?
To: Future Snake Eater
Sure it does. Now Cary, on the other hand... :)
To: Overtaxed
WOW! I can't believe we agree.
You know, when I went to South Africa in 1999 I even saw someone with a UNC hat there.
I couldn't believe it.

WOW! I can't believe we agree At least after a season like last year's we found out who the "real" Tar Heel fans were.
To: Overtaxed
That's true. None of them work with me, either.
Okay - gotta go back to work.
Nice chatting with you!

The electronic system has been in the works for nearly a decade, but Sept. 11 brought a new push to get the system up and running. The INS has to certify schools to use the database. An estimated 70,000 institutions issue visas to foreign students. Have had it for a decade and just now putting it into use.. How interesting.

"You know, when I went to South Africa in 1999 "
What university is that? Bet they have a good basketball team.

My wife is from SA. We went to visit her family.

Maybe... but the Tar Holes still suck. and NC State swallows are really pretty birds
To: KayEyeDoubleDee
Ouch!
Good one, dude.

Given how difficult it is for even good US students to get into good colleges, and given how difficult it's been for new grads to find good jobs (too much competition from foreign students getting green cards), I think it's time to *end* the student visa program for a time.
