Is earning extra income by renting and subletting a second apartment legal for a foreign student?

Is earning extra income by renting and subletting a second apartment legal for a foreign student?
I asked the same question in Law & Ethics. Here is the thing. One of my friends is a foreign student from South Korea. She entered into the States on a Student Visa, and now lives in her apartment in New York, but somehow she has also rented a small three-story building with more than 10 rooms as her "second" apartment, and literally gets cash by subletting each room to other Koreans without creating any sublease contract or paying income tax. As far as I know, she has been doing this kind of business for the past two years. It might be OK for a foreign student to make some money by subletting his/her apartment only for a short period of time, let's say, during the Summer recess or something, in order to pay the rent. However, I believe this is a totally difference case. I'm wondering if it were legal for a foreign student to earn extra income by renting and subletting a second apartment over a long period of time without paying income tax. Thank you

You have the right to do it,, as a person,, but finding a bank to loan you money to buy one would be tough.. In subletting like your friend you have to be careful that your lease will allow it to happen and the landlord is either fully aware of your intention or you are with a landlord that is not hands on. No it is not illegal

Do the English still look down upon the Irish?

Do the English still look down upon the Irish?
I have been to Dublin and Belfast and I have had mixed relations dealing with British people. I grew up with Irish elders who told me about how the English treated the Irish unfairly in the past. My great grandfather worked 16 hours a day some place near Liverpool to make enough money to go to Boston. I think it was a coal mine. It might have been Blackpool. I don't remember.I tried to ask people in Ireland how they felt about the English but then I got this lecture on Irish history but no answer as to what is going on right now between the English and the Irish. I heard a few comments about me not being "a Yank" and not Irish when I was in Ireland because I am an Irish American. I don't understand that. What the heck does that mean? I can remember asking my great grandfather from Sligo what was meant by that Yank comment that I wasn't Irish. He said, thank God, you're an American. And he gave me another Irish history lecture that I didn't really understand but I listened anyway.He died the next week at 97. Do the English still look down upon the Irish as inferior to them? Is that hate over (finally)? Why can't Ireland be one nation with Catholics and Protestants living in harmony like the USA? Why must Ireland be separated like North and South Korea like they are a threat to the world if they were united? In England, the police do not have guns and in Belfast they patrol the streets carrying machine guns. Germany was allowed to unite. Why can't Ireland be one nation once again?

Its harder now to crack an Irish joke. Esp since the Irish Republic is doing so well economically. Their salaries are higher than the UK. Ireland is a success story.
2 :
The English look down upon everyone.

Northern Ireland is Irish land and will always be Irish land.

English still look down on Irish in Britain. America is of the British settlers. British who colonized in the USA discriminated against Irish because of the inferior history of Irish. Because there were plantations, the Irish are know for the ex-slave and Britain still rules Ireland. As a English, I will never release your country ever.

What is a good cheap airline for plane tickets?

What is a good cheap airline for plane tickets?
My friend and i are hoping to make some money for these places (listed) ~London, England-1 month 15 days ~New York-20 days ~Las Angelas, California-2 months ~Paris, France-2 months ~Scottland-1 month- ~Tokyo, Japan-2 months 15 days- ~South Korea (Seoul)-2 months 15 days- I know it depends on what time of the year you go to some of these places, but whatever time is the cheapest, please not the winter time though even if it's the cheapest it doesn't sound very safe.... I live in Washington and i would use the seattle airport to go to all of these places by plane that stops at other airports on the way (just so it's cheaper) you see i'm not the best at buying airline tickets, i am a fan of Alaska airlines but i'm just hoping for a safe and cheap trip^^

Tip: Don't go on weekends, so try and get a flight in the week like a monday or thursday.
2 :
Go to CheapOAir.com. They have the most reasonable prices of any place I have found.
3 :
Check out http://salesshark.webs.com/ It is a site dedicated to finding sales for people there is a banner at the top of the page for cheap plane tickets the banner will take you directly to the site to order your tickets i recently bought two round trip tickets from there that were at least 100$ cheaper than any where else. Good luck and have fun on your trips!

Most airlines are around the same price, but buying them weekdays should help ALSO, get very late deals, if you book right at the last minute, the price will be very low. My friend once bought a ticket to Dublin, Ireland for just £4.50!
5 :
Alaska airlines would get you to LA but not overseas. Check out travel sites like Expedia, Orbitz and Travelocity. Give as much notice as possible because as flights fill up the price rises. If you wait you until the last minute are taking a chance on high price if the flight is almost full. You'd only get a break last minute if they weren't full, but that's pretty rare. I trust you have a passport because you won't be allowed to board international flight without it. Also if you can be flexible on your dates it may make a difference. Sometimes even just a few days before or after when you hope to travel will have better deals.

how do you think on this (rape, crime in my country)?

how do you think on this (rape, crime in my country)?
(these are latest crime) in south korea, a 12 years old girl is raped by 31 years old man and he forced her to sell sex to other men. he met the girl via Internet chatting and he stolen very small money. but The court sentenced him to 3 years 6 months in prison. and the court sentenced a 20 years old man who murderd an 61 years old Physically Disabled man to 6 years in prison. he murdered the physically disabled man when he was middle school student. he said he murdered him becuz when he was young, the physically disabled man followed and surprised him. he murdered the physically disabled man with other two big brothers (both are 22 years old men). and they beated him to death. and the court sentenced the female mother who murdered her 2 months old female baby who has physical disaility on her face to 3 years in prison becuz the family didn't want her punished (they didn't want to penalize her. my english is not good sorry.. I don't know which sentence is good on it..) and she delivered herself to the police. and some media sympathized with that mother. and some expert said the society in this country tacitly allow to kill baby who has disabilities and people in south korea deny the existence of disabled person but the UN must the person who murdered a baby to over 10 years in prison. very serious and bad crimes are occurring in south korea everyears. but the judgment is very weird. always the rich people and criminals are happy. and the poor and lonely people are super crazy unhappy. and the most of the victims commit suicide everyears. and I saw the news about that the police kicked the chest of female who tried to see the face of criminal who murdered her 9 years old daughter in closed distance. and most of you have to know there is serious corporal punishment in every elementary, middle, high school in south korea. every child and teenage experience the violence at the school. and really many female child and teenage are raped and abused in this country .. there is no a thing to protect the children of poor people. and even I saw that the adults or teenage bullies abused the female child who is poor and the everyone keeps silent becuz the girl has no families and is not rich when I was child. and even I read the news about the 12 years old child is killed by the punishment of the football teacher at the elementary school on this weak. the problem is that the everyone and society thinks the corporal punishment at school is such a common sense. is the money really important than the life of most people ? and I don't understand why other country doesn't care of these serious problem in south korea. why no one saves the life and human right of children in south korea ? the everyone who is living in south korea is psychopath or money-crazy. and they really like to hurt and harass weak, poor people. I saw it really many times the bullies and gangs make teenage or child commit suicide. and really many children and teenage are killed by the teenage bullies. and even some people enslave the poor people and bring the poor people to some island (south korea has really many small islands.) and they work forever in the island. is this a country ? the teenage bullies are such a god in south korea. every schools have the serious teenage bullies or the everyone in the school are all bullies. even if they smoke at the school, the techers never care and even they smoke with the bullies. I saw that even the teachers harass the person with the bullies. they think the poor or weak people are animal or slave. here is no justice for poor people in south korea. other country must take care of the south korea now please.. at least I want to go ouf of this country now.. these news of crime are the tip of an iceberg..
