The college culture is definately far different today that it was some years ago - especially with the classes being offered and the agenda that a lot of the professors have outside of teaching their class.Someday, probably soon, the warped attitudes and poor judgment instilled in our young people will crumble our way of life if we don't insist on bringing some grown-ups onto campus in order to give a more mature and informed view of the real world.But I thihk the other side to the issue is that if we send our kids to school without a clear idea of what the "real world" is like, then we haven't done our job as parents.

Having dual citizenship is great, but people shouldn't try to change the culture of one country to fit their habits from another country.I have visited and lived many parts of the Americas, and had many friends who have done the same in Europe, and in every situation, if a citizen of the USA were to expect everything to be done in English and well as the native language of the country (though recognizing it is like this in most big cities - but definately not the smaller cities), then the native people would be outraged.If people want to immigrate to the USA, I have no problem with it, I would probably strive to do the same, but we shouldn't change our culture to fit someone else's (such as translating the our Natinal Anthem into Spanish - I was not a fan of that.)

You have definately joined one of the better Real Estate Forums on the net.

When I get home I'll take a look through and see if people can make me see the light in a few of these situations.I definately would recommend the book for anyone who is looking to understand what life should be all about and not what society "hurds" us into.

Hello Keepitreal,I am not too far from Stockton Lake Area, and I will definately keep my eye open for you.

I definately wanted to think about doing a duplex but the only ones in my price range are in suburbs.

I'd start there - it is fairly close to home, and you can definately find deals.

I define a bird dog as someone who has knowledge of a deal but has no real risk.

Keep in mind I am not quite sure what you are defining "competition" as.North DallasMost of N Dallas is a nice area.
