  1. :lol:What way would you rather it go? Did you really have to ask? I am just saying If it goes down the way you speak then no way the deficits of the world disappear. Hey even with a gradual appreciation things will get better assuming governments really hold massive amounts of this stuff.

    AND the govertment will blow it faster than they can possibly bring it in !

    I am really sorry that i am the bearer of bad news. I hope there is something I am missing.

    Dont hate the player, hate the game. Iraq knows they are in the drivers seat. U think they give a damd that the good Ol USA got them there?

  2. Come on LOPPERS I expected an answer by now. How is the world to get out of the trouble we are in financially? My guess is this….. World government and 100% tax right?

    Yeah and we get out of the trouble we are in how with that math? I guess there is no hope for tomorrow!

    Exactly my thoughts. All govertment want all you have + more just to pay for their corruption & propping up the 3rd world heck holes!

  3. Here is something that has been much needed and will right alot of wrongs being done to citizens by our goverment !

    Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution:

    Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United

    States that does not apply *equally* to the Senators and/or Representatives;

    and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or

    Representatives that does not apply *equally* to the citizens of the United

    States .."

  4. I went today and checked with my local seller of Dinars, and they still have Dinar, but they are now $1038 per 1,000,000.00 Dinar. The interesting thing was they had 250.00, and 50.00 Dinars. They didn't have any to sell due to the workers buying all the small bills. Has anyone else run into these smaller bills?

    I was thinking of selling my 20,000,000.00 Dinars due to I have had enough at this point. My money could be making $ in other areas. With all the rumors, I am waiting till Monday to see, then if no RV, its bye bye Dinars.

    Who Dinar dealer???

  5. New U.S. Army Rifles

    No hiding place from new U.S. Army rifles that use radio-controlled smart bullets

    By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

    <http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/search.html?s=y&authornamef=Daily+Mail+Reporter>

    Weapon hailed as a game-changer that can fire up and over barriers and down into trenches. Soldiers will start using them in Afghanistan later this month. The U.S. army is to begin using a futuristic rifle that fires radio-controlled 'smart' bullets in Afghanistan for the first time, it has emerged.

    The XM25 rifle uses bullets that be programmed to explode when they have travelled a set distance, allowing enemies to be targeted no matter where they are hiding.

    The rifle also has a range of 2,300 feet making it possible to hit target which are well out of the reach of conventional rifles.

    The XM25 is being developed specially for the U.S. army and will be deployed with troops from later this month, it was revealed today.

    The XM25 Counter Defilade Target Engagement System has a range of roughly 2,300 feet - and is to be deployed in Afghanistan this month.

    The rifle's gunsight uses a laser rangefinder to determine the exact distance to the obstruction, after which the soldier can add or subtract up to 3 metres from that distance to enable the bullets to clear the barrier and explode above or beside the target.

    Soldiers will be able to use them to target snipers hidden in trenches rather than calling in air strikes.

    The 25-millimetre round contains a chip that receives a radio signal from the gunsight as to the precise distance to the target.

    Lt. Col. Christopher Lehner, project manager for the system, described the weapon as a 'game-changer' that other nations will try and copy. He expects the Army to buy 12,500 of the XM25 rifles this year, enough for every member of the infantry and special forces.

    Lehner told FoxNews: 'With this weapon system, we take away cover from [enemy targets] forever. 'Tactics are going to have to be rewritten.

    The only thing we can see [enemies] being able to do is run away.'

    Experts say the rifle means that enemy troops will no longer be safe if they take cover

    The XM25 appears perfect weapon for street-to-street fighting that troops in Afghanistan have to engage in, with enemy fighters hiding behind walls and only breaking cover to fire ocasionally.

    The weapon's laser finder would work out how far away the enemy was and then the U.S. soldier would add one metre using a button near the trigger.

    When fired, the explosive round would carry exactly one metre past the wall and explode with the force of a hand grenade above the Taliban fighter.

    The army's project manager for new weapons, Douglas Tamilio, said: ''This is the first leap-ahead technology for troops that we've been able to develop and deploy.'

    A patent granted to the bullet's maker, Alliant Techsystems, reveals that the chip can calculate how far it has travelled.

    Mr Tamilio said: 'You could shoot a Javelin missile, and it would cost £43,000. These rounds will end up costing £15.50 apiece.

    They're relatively cheap.Lehner added: 'This is a game-changer. The enemy has learned to get cover, for hundreds if not thousands of years. 'Well, they can't do that anymore.

    We're taking that cover from them and there's only two outcomes: We're going to get you behind that cover or force you to flee.'

    The rifle will initially use high-explosive rounds, but its makers say that it might later use versions with smaller explosive charges that aim to stun rather than kill.

  6. HOLIDAY EATING TIPS

    1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the holiday spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls.

    2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. It's rare... You cannot find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an eggnog-aholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas!

    3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.

    4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission.

    5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Holiday party is to eat other people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello?

    6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.

    7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again.

    8. Same for pies. Apple, Pumpkin, Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor Day?

    9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards.

    10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention. Re-read tips; start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner.

    Have a great holiday season!!
