Well, if you lie, they can throw in jail later rather than just expelling you.
In any event, that's nothing compared to question 13 of the linked from Uncle Sam:

Yeah, but if you lie, and then they find out you did commit war crimes, they might not be able to successfully prosecute you for the war crimes, but they can kick you out for lying on your immigration forms! Take that, war criminals!

As someone who has actually done work with asylum seekers, these questions all actually make sense and are pretty useful.
Also, they wouldn't just boot you for lying on a form, they'd either send you to a place where you would be prosecuted or put you in prison for a few years for lying on the form then boot you.

And, depending on who you genocided and what you have to offer, it's entirely possible they'll totally be cool with it. Just ask friends of America like Dr. Shiro Ishii, the Johnny Appleseed of bubonic plague in Manchuria/most famous independent consultant in the history of Fort Detrick.

Though you have to think war criminals get some secret, back-room stamped visa as opposed to the off-the-shelf application.

If you did commit these crimes, and they didn't ask you, they might not be able to extradite.

Re: Random Observations C.A (306 pages is enough)
The education stuff is really fascinating. Getting a GED seems to be a strong indicator of poor decision making. Much better to remain a dropout.
Current cigarette smoking was highest among persons with a graduate education degree certificate (GED) and lowest among those with a graduate degree.
- About 24 of every 100 adults with 12 or fewer years of education (no diploma) (24.1%)
- Nearly 41 of every 100 adults with a GED certificate (40.6%)
- Nearly 20 of every 100 adults with a high school diploma (19.7%)
- Nearly 19 of every 100 adults with some college (no degree) (18.9%)
- Nearly 17 of every 100 adults with an associate’s degree (16.8%)
- Nearly 8 of every 100 adults with an undergraduate degree (7.7%)
- Nearly 5 of every 100 adults with a graduate degree (4.5%)

Re: Random Observations C.A (306 pages is enough)
If you got no degree, you got no job and no money for smokes.
If you got a GED you got a job, but it's shitty, so you smoke.

I wonder if being a dropout and not getting a GED indicates you've done pretty well even without a diploma, whereas getting a GED indicates you weren't doing so well as a dropout.Warren wrote: ↑05 Apr 2018, 11:41The education stuff is really fascinating.

Re: Random Observations C.A (306 pages is enough)
I thought GEDs were for kids who were smart enough to figure out that high school was stupid. Obviously ivy leagues probably won't take you but I've always thought the smartest thing to do is drop out, get GED and go straight to college.

That sounds good in theory. Is that what you did? I don't believe I ever met anyone that did that. I've met people that went to college prior to their 18th birthday. But they either received a diploma from the school or didn't bother.dead_elvis wrote: ↑05 Apr 2018, 12:56I thought GEDs were for kids who were smart enough to figure out that high school was stupid.

Most people I know like that took advantage of Running Start programs at their local community college and wound up with a diploma and associates when they graduated.

Re: Random Observations C.A (306 pages is enough)
I know a bunch of people who went to Simon's Rock and even for them it was a mix. My bff left high school with nothing, other people with less shitty high schools had their schools award them diplomas because they were going to college, and other people who didn't but did transfer had to get GEDs for the school they were transferring to, even though they were going with an AA.
