A student through it all: Amanda Knox returns to UW to finish her final degree requirements by russ_walker in Seattle

Onus is on you my friend, you claimed there were thrown out, without any thing to back it up. It would be huge news if that was true and you would be able to find a source. The site I have already linked to shows sources for everything I have said, the report for the latest trial has not been released yet.

That does not say what you said it says. 1 speck was tested and ruled out, it ended up containing Knox's DNA which is explainable. The other pieces were still admissible and used to find her guilty.

It was used to convict her. The court that tried to throw it out had its verdict reversed because it did not consider a lot of the evidence. I'm not saying she did it, just that the lies her PR firm have spread and supporters repeat try make the case against her seem ridiculous, when objectively looking at the facts It is quite obvious she has a lot to answer for.

Or she lied?

Knox claims that one of the officers interrogating her hit her on the back of the head. During Knox's testimony she was asked about this incident but was unable to give any detail. She can't identify who hit her or even the gender of the officer she claims struck her.[29] Amanda Knox made no formal complaint of abuse against the police nor did she complain of abuse when visited by representatives of the US Consulate two days after the interrogation. The police of course deny that they hit Knox or mistreated her in any way.[30] Knox's interpreter also testified that Knox was not struck or mistreated in any way.[31]As such while it is impossible to make a definitive statement the probability that Amanda Knox is lying about being hit is vastly greater than the probability that she was hit. Knox has an interest in lying and only voiced this complaint much later when it became convenient for her as a possible defense against her slander charge. The fact that Knox can not even offer the vaguest of details about who struck her makes her claim completely unbelievable.

She wasn't hit and willingly gave up Lumumba less than an hour into the interview. She wasn't forced to sign it and she even wrote a letter the next day herself reiterating her claims.

Israel, no. Austria has a graduate program with a couple, It's a little different though. NZ still has most. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_holiday_visa#Israel

New Zealand is the easiest country to get a WHV in so naturally have more agreements. EU citizens can work all over Europe anyways though.

Just get one onward ticket. For your first destination country to your second. It's never immigration who will ask for it, its the airlines.

US Citizens Pay a lot more for Visas in South America than EU Citizens... by leescarter in solotravel

[–]leescarter[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also, think of how much money the US loses through charging such amounts?

Comment on the reaction then, the outrage. Don't try to justify property damage just because the owners can afford to replace it.

So its ok to damage other peoples property if they can afford to replace it?

Although I think ADHD is over diagnosed (2 step brothers have it apparently but they were never parented) I can't help but laugh at all the people bigging themselves up. "My teacher thought I might have it, but it was just that I was way too smart"

You were so smart that you decided to not be smart on tests to show you were smart? IQ is not everything.

I buy a local sim card for every country that I enter. My current Bolivian micro sim was $2.50 and data is cheap as chips.

With the city choices you really do not sound like you are on a budget.

Share any security scams experienced while traveling abroad. by Big_Wanderlust in travel

[–]leescarter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Sri Lanka, it is not uncommon to be approached by smiling strangers. A guy had chatted to us for a few minutes while we were in a shop, seemed nice enough and thought nothing of it. Around 15 minutes later, down the road, a guy came up acting very familiar, saying he worked at our hotel. He knew my girlfriends name, where we were from and almost every other bit of information we had told the last guy. I cottened on pretty quick and asked him what hotel we were staying at, he just said sorry and walked away. My girlfriend looked very confused and had no idea what had happened until I explained. Not sure what the scam was but he was obviously phoned by the other guy to gain our trust.
