Q. I'm marrying a girl from vietnam because of my problems with dating, I want to know how i can tell if she's using me or not. I tell people in the real world that it's a tradition i'm following so I can cover up the real reason.
A. Even if she is, this kind of thing goes both ways...she gets the green card, you get a wife.
However, you do need to avoid a sham marriage: http://www.hooyou.com/marriage/notimmigration.html
The USCIS always takes into account the following factors while making their interpretation:
Whether the couple have known each other for a reasonably long time;
The frequency of meetings of the couple prior to the marriage;
Whether the couple have lived together in the past or presently live together;
Whether the couple married only after one party became the subject of an investigation, removal, or deportation proceedings by the USCIS. An immigration petition may not be approved for the alien who was married after the commencement of removal, exclusion, or deportation proceeding until the alien has resided outside the U.S. for at least two years, unless the alien spouse can prove the marriage was a good faith marriage and not solely for immigration purposes.
To prove the marriage was entered into in good faith, the following evidence should be presented:
...Document showing joint ownership of property;
...Joint tenancy of lease;
...Documentation showing commingling of financial resources;
...Birth certificates of children born to the couple;
...Affidavits of a third party proving there is a bona fide marital relationship between the couple; and
...Other documents to prove that the purpose of the marriage is not to evade immigration laws.
Whether a spousal immigration petition is filed by a permanent resident who has been accorded status based on a prior marriage. This kind of immigration petition would not be approved, unless the following requirements are satisfied:
...A period of 5 years has elapsed since the petitioning alien acquired his/her permanent resident status;
...The petitioning alien resident presents clear and convincing evidence that the prior marriage was not entered into for purpose of evading the immigration laws; or
...The prior marriage is terminated by the death of the spouse of the petitioning alien resident.
Whether the couple comes from diverse cultural background or speaks a common language.
There are further links on the page outlining other issues involving marriage & green cards.
As best I can tell, she should come here on a visa, not just be a "mail-order bride" in order to satisfy requirements.
Good luck to you.

The Wild West -- What are other times in history similar to the clash between order and lawlessness?
Q. The Wild West is popularly understood to have a major clash between civilization and order. The towns were wild and rowdy at first, which was both liberating and frightening. Later, there was constant tension between people who liked the freedom to do whatever they wanted (drink, gamble, womanize, etc) and those who wanted the benefits of "civilization" (safety, protection of property, etc). The result was a legendary clash that still echoes in pop culture.
What are other times in history when there was such a dramatic clash between lawlessness and law-and-order? TYIA!

A. The genocide in Rwanda in the mid 1990s
The Gold Rush
The French Revolution
The protests during the Vietnam War
Various events in the Civil Rights movement
Basically the entire 60's/70's, with the drug culture

What good are Rules of Engagement if they lose the war for you?
Q. Now we try to avoid civilian populations and such, but we should have learned from Korea and Vietnam that civilians aren't always civilians, and can be human bombs, or even carry guns. As loath as I am to say it, I think we may need to examine our Rules of Engagement. Who agrees?
Lord Britain, I understand what you're saying, and even agree in principle, but as I said before, sometimes "civilians" aren't civilians, and you have to think of your fellow servicepeople first.
and brucec, another popular saying is, "beg forgiveness, not permission.

A. You are right to a degree. The Rules of Engagement can lose the war for you and we DID see that in Vietnam, I was there and we did have targets that were a tremendous threat to our troops that we were not permitted to bomb -I saw pictures of thousands of trucks lined up on the docks in Haiphong harbor that would be used to transport men and material into South Vietnam to fight our troops and we were not allowed to bomb them. According to the ROE, Haiphong Harbor was off-limits to our Air Force. The ROE said we couldn't attack North Vietnamese aircraft on the ground, we had to wait until they were in the air! The ROE said we couldn't bomb their airports! That said, you must have ROE, Someone has to have a hand on the controls and you would hope the person with that hand knew a little about fighting a war, not like the current occupant or his buddies. Aside from the humanitarian reasons for the ROE, you have to limit the damage to innocent civilians and their property or you make more enemies than you kill. And yes, the ROE is not something etched in stone, it needs to be constantly revised, again. by someone who knows the way wars are fought, not someone in an armchair back in Washington who managed to avoid the combat zone.
How can the us government stop the merchandise which imported from another country?
Q. Right now most merchandise make from another country.such as China ,India, Mexico and Vietnam. American people do not have a job. We (American) must think about that.We should not buy every thing which make in China.The US president and government must increase really high tax for imports merchandise.
A. Look at NAFTA Data:
Canadians bought in 2009 per person from America: $5,986 USD
Americans bought in 2009 per person from Canada: $730 USD
Mexicans bought in 2009 per person from America: $1,159 USD
Americans bought in 2009 per person from Mexico: $570 USD
USA buys oil and parts (Made by Low wage jobs) and sell high end products (Made by High Salary Jobs). It looks like NAFTA is pretty good for America.
The only reason the "USA Trade Balance" is negative with these 2 countries is because USA has 3 times the population of Mexico and 10 times the population of Canada. More People buy More. Simple Math!
If you put Taxes on Canadian and Mexican Products they will do the same on American Products. One of the reasons American Products are competitive in Canada and Mexico is because of NAFTA. They will start buying European.
On the other Hand look at the China Data:
Americans bought in 2009 per person from China: $956 USD
Chinese bought in 2009 per person from America: $51 USD
Why is that? China is a closed Economy. China does not allow imports or tax them heavily. Typically companies will not risk their intellectual property by putting plants in China, but Chinese Domestic Market is so huge that they want a piece of it, so instead of making the "High End Products" in USA or Europe and exporting to China, they go and put the plant in China.
Because US Government gets Corporate Tax and borrows money from China, it let China Bully him.
But Worse!!! Look at the European Data:
European Union bought in 2009 per person from America: $440 USD
Americans bought in 2009 per person from the EU: $909 USD.
Why are we buying from Europe? Are we less educated?? Is their labor more cheap? Aren't they a socialist region? Those are "High Paying Jobs" sent to Europe! Those are the ones we need, not the ones lost to Canada and Mexico.
Hell Mexican Tourists expend more Money in USA than the Europeans...
