  1. I have a question that I have been wondering now for a while and being in this investment since 2004, I believe maybe its time to ask it. I was wondering when people were waiting for the Kuwait Dinar to do what it did, did you have the same issue that Iraq is having? I know its a different thing that went on there that is going on here with the sanctions and everything but was it always smoke and mirrors and missing any deadlines (if kuwait had any)?

    Please, I would like an answer from someone that was in the Kuwait investment or someone who knew someone.

    Thanks everyone

  2. I have heard talk of Obama holding the R. V. as a trump card, if so would those who are opposed to another four years be willing to overlook that if he did pull a profitable R. V. at the last minute? Granted it is only rumor that he pulls some strings but if it did come out right before election would that make another term easier for those that dislike him, or would you rather wait until after the election and see who wins?

    I don't think so, taxes would go up on it before the trigger was pulled. I would prefer waiting, I've waited long enough, I can wait more. I don't care anymore.

    Not that he has any say in any of this anyhow!!!!!!!!!

  3. Daddy's Poem

    Her hair was up in a pony tail,

    Her favorite dress tied with a bow.

    Today was Daddy's Day at school,

    And she couldn't wait to go.

    But her mommy tried to tell her,

    That she probably should stay home;

    Why the kids might not understand,

    If she went to school alone.

    But she was not afraid;

    She knew just what to say.

    What to tell her classmates

    Of why he wasn't there today.

    But still her mother worried,

    For her to face this day alone.

    And that was why, once again,

    She tried to keep her daughter home.

    But the little girl went to school ,

    Eager to tell them all.

    About a dad she never sees, a dad

    Who never calls.

    There were daddies along the wall in

    Back, for everyone to meet.

    Children squirming impatiently,

    Anxious in their seat.

    One by one the teacher called

    On a student from the class.

    To introduce their daddy,

    As seconds slowly passed.

    At last the teacher called her name,

    Every child turned to stare.

    Each of them was searching,

    A man who wasn't there.

    "Where's her daddy at?"

    She heard a boy call out.

    "She probably doesn't have one,"

    Another student dared to shout.

    And from somewhere near the back,

    She heard a daddy say,

    "Looks like another deadbeat dad,

    Too busy to waste his day."

    The words did not offend her,

    As she smiled up at her Mom.

    And looked back at her teacher, who

    Told her to go on..

    And with hands behind her back,

    Slowly she began to speak.

    And out from the mouth of a child,

    Came words incredibly unique.

    "My Daddy couldn't be here,

    Because he lives so far away.

    But I know he wishes he could be,

    Since this is such a special day.

    And though you cannot meet him,

    I wanted you to know

    All about my daddy,

    And how much he loves me so.

    He loved to tell me stories,

    He taught me to ride my bike;

    He surprised me with pink roses,

    And taught me to fly a kite.

    We used to share fudge sundaes,

    And ice cream in a cone.

    And though you cannot see him.

    I'm not standing here alone.

    'Cause my daddy's always with me,

    Even though we are apart;

    I know because he told me,

    He'll forever be in my heart"

    With that, her little hand reached up,

    And lay across her chest.

    Feeling her own heartbeat,

    Beneath her favorite dress.

    And from somewhere there in the crowd of dads,

    Her mother stood in tears.

    Proudly watching her daughter,

    Who was wise beyond her years.

    For she stood up for the love

    Of a man not in her life.

    Doing what was best for her,

    Doing what was a right.

    And when she dropped her hand back

    Down, staring straight into the crowd.

    She finished with a voice so soft,

    But its message clear and loud.

    "I love my daddy very much,

    he's my shining star.

    And if he could, he'd be here,

    But heaven's just too far.

    You see he is an American Soldier

    And he died just this past year,,

    When a roadside bomb hit his convoy

    And taught Americans to fear.

    But sometimes when I close my eyes,

    it's like he never went away."

    And then she closed her eyes,

    And saw him there that day.

    And to her mother's amazement,

    She witnessed with surprise,

    A room full of daddies and children,

    All starting to close their eyes.

    Who knows what they saw before them;

    Who knows what they felt inside.

    Perhaps for merely a second,

    They saw him at her side.

    "I know you're with me Daddy,"

    to the silence she called out.

    And what happened next made believers,

    of those once filled with doubt.

    Not one in that room could explain it,

    for each of their eyes had been closed.

    But there on the desk beside her,

    was a fragrant long-stemmed pink rose.

    And a child was blessed, if only for

    a moment, by the love of her shining star.

    And given the gift of believing,

    that heaven is never too far.

    They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.

    Send this to the people you'll never forget and remember to send it also to the person that sent it to you. It's a short message to let them know that you'll never forget them.

    If you don't send it to anyone, it means you're in a hurry and that you've forgotten your friends.

    Take the time....to live and love.

    Until eternity

    God Bless

    There must be many children in the same boat as this little girl, thanks to our servicemen and their families for the sacrifice they are making to keep our country free.

    The ULTIMATE sacrifice is being left behind. Don't forget them.

    PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS!!!

  4. He also got fired from his lecturing job at the community college too.

    http://www.theblaze.com/stories/totally-heterosexual-anti-chick-fil-a-tough-guy-fired-for-bullying-drive-thru-girl/

    I have no problem with someone having an opinion either, but don't think you are cool for doing what he did. What I really want to know, is the kids down the way in the video that he hoped were going to stage a protest. What were they doing, I hope they had just got done eating at Chik-fil-a!!!!!!!!!!

  6. Even if Romney is the same as Obama, which he isn't, he would never be allowed to get away with the crap that O does, so in my opinion that makes him a lot better. He is a very tough business man and knows what it takes for a business to be successful, I like Ron Paul myself, but at this point I will vote for anyone other than O. This will stop the 2nd wave of taxes that will come if O gets reelected. If the next person sucks, they he will be out just as fast, but at least with Romney, it won't be racist if we don't vote for him. If you don't vote for Romney because you are a Ron Paul fan, your crazy.

  7. Did you hear about the Hispanic guy that got shot walking his dog in a Mcdonalds driveway for acting like he was going to punch the guys car. No arrest has been made there, but i guess its not racist because it was a hispanic and a black guy, not a white/hispanic. And the guy said the victim was swinging a bat or pipe at him, but unfortunately one couldn't be found. Don't remember where, heard it on Glen Beck this morning.

  8. sounds like a logical reason to me. I wouldn't think that they would want their people knowing about how much money they may have if they were not planning on doing something soon. They are crazy enough being broke, just think how bad it would be if they knew they had money coming but had to wait on all the political crap that goes on there too. They would have another civil war over that alone and Maliki doesn't want to kick at that hornets nest.

  9. many may not agree with me on this subject, but this is what i think.

    Pay them good for what they do, it is a stressful job. However, do not pay them for life, they need a consequence. If they do not do what the people want they are out and they get paid nothing for their troubles. If you look at it now, all they have to do is get in for one term and they are set for life (and this is all of our government). Why would they care what decisions they make unless they really believe it.

    I think this would cause the good ones to get into office to truly make the right efforts, rather than getting in for a quick paycheck that last for life and causes them to only look out for themselves.

    This would also cause room for us to pay our military and our teachers more, since we would not have to pay for some clown to live for the rest of his/her life because he was in the government section for a couple years

  10. There is no way anyone should feel guilty about an RV, 7 years in the making for me and alot of frustration, i think they should pay me a dollar extra. And as far as that money going over there and them owing us, just remember, our government loves to pay people for the "damage" we have done. Deserved or not. I guess we will wait and see though.

  11. There will be no LOP! They are greatly reducing the circulated currency in the country. This is proof of no LOP, that is completely out of the cards. They want to reduce to currency down to between 15 and 30 billion from the current trillions. We are in for a great ride. Be patient. Shabibi made the statement that the goal was a 1 to 1 RV between August 15th, 2011 and August 25th, 2011. Im still searching for the link. Assistance would be appreciated.

    We are already past that date, so thanks a lot shabibi
