  1. "Fun"? How so? :huh:

    Poking fun at conspiracy theorists who claim conjecture and heresay as undeniable truth; they say "here's what the experts say" or "here's what this one guy claims" but then disregard what many more experts and eye witnesses claim that opposes the conspiracy theory. Understandable that you wouldn't agree, most people don't find it entertaining when they're the one being made fun of.

  2. Lots of explanation Bigcity Bob, but seems as if even they are struggling to explain away Building 7. Don't trust anyone else. Think about it. If one of its pilars went as they speculate, it was an impossibility that it would come down like a perfect demolition job straight into its own footprint in less than 7 seconds. Do you know how many pillars were supporting that skyscraper.

    And come on - steel melted at room temperature because 'the resulting inferno was intensified by the combustible material inside the buildings, including rugs, curtains, furniture and paper.' Rugs, curtains, wood and paper!! What? Who are they trying to kid? Are you aware of what temperatures have to be for steel to become liquid?

    Haha so are you suggesting that in order for a tower to collapse the steel needs to be fully melted? Ever consider the fact that steel, or really any material for that matter, does not need to melt in order for it to lose much of it's strength and structural integrity? Ask any firefighter or anyone that has seen a building with steel pillars post-collapse from a fire: You will see plenty of bent and twisted up steel, you will almost never see steel that has been melted. Case in point: the roughly 1100 degrees (rough estimate since jet fuel burns anywhere from 800 degrees to 1500 degrees) would be more than enough to weaken steel enough to collapse massive buildings like the WTC towers.

  3. As for protecting you. I did my time in the military protecting YOU

    I now assume you are a big boy and can protect yourself.

    No longer my job.

    Would also appreciate a thank you for past protection.

    Better yet how about you join and protect me.

    Will not happen because you are a typical LEG

    Hmmm well the obvious arrogance can't really be misunderstood.... the disturbing factor is the suggestion that service was given in order to be able to solicit thank you's from all the "lesser beings" out there.... :huh:

  4. Appreciate your posts easy, despite what some of these clowns might say... nothing wrong with passing along information, but it does show a definite lack of intelligence when people take out their own misguided frustrations on you for doing it; keep doing what you do man.

  5. Ok Mr.Wannabenewguruofthemonth......explain why and how.....and dont give us the old "well I cant tell you because of my secret intel" and the normal line of BS the gurus use

    I agree with you on that one keep! It looks (at least to me) like both randalln and poseidon are offering great examples of what is wrong with both schools of thought here on DV. It's irresponsible to make claims on this kind of site without something substantial to back it up. I'm not going to say that evidence for a lop isn't out there for all to see, but I have to question the motives of someone who comes on and seems antagonistic from the first post without giving any tangible food for thought. At the same time, any joe shmo can come on here and say his mothers husbands brothers nephew holds blah blah blah position at the CBI and he has proof of an RV, we've seen it so many times it's not even funny. It's all becoming very childish it seems.

    Let's not lose site of the original intent and turn a good post into a "peeing" contest. The purpose is to encourage "rational" discussion of every position, and not simply boldly claim legitimacy of one or the other without providing supporting evidence and a reasonable explanation. Doing otherwise is an unproductive waste of time and effort and merely encourages dissent. ;)

    + for you Legolas, that's what I'm talking about!

  6. Great post, gotta say I agree with pretty much the whole thing. One perspective I would put out there, and I think is a possible reason why those more "realistic" sounding posts are seen as negative, is sometimes the way in which the message is delivered. For example, when someone is being condescending about it, or when they jump on simply to say something like "not gonna happen!" or something pointless like "nuff said" (though I have to admit half the time I'm not even sure what someone means when they say that) without giving reasons or facts. In a way I think there are sort of two camps on the "realistic" side of the fence; the ones who do their research and present their opinion in an adult and informed manner, and those who seem to just like stirring the pot or feel the need to convey their message in a pretentious, sometimes even rude manner. It's a shame because one side is presenting a well thought out perspective while the other... well sometimes it's hard to really even define the intent of that side of the coin. The unfortunate part is I think people sometimes lump the two together which is neither fair nor accurate. Do I hold out hope for an RV? Yes. Am I humble enough to realize and admit when I'm dealing with things that are beyond my current knowledge and research? Yes. Can I therefore accept the fact that RV is only one possibility and things could just as easily take a completely different road? Absolutely, but that's why I made sure to NOT spend a painful amount on this so that I can hold onto my hope, yet not be crushed if it doesn't go my way. Either way, great post Jim1cor13, thanks for bringing it out Legolas.

  7. You know how you always look at custom license plates to try and figure out there meaning?? laugh.gif Well the same can be said for some of the names on here......Got this idea from the last "off topic" post that was rightfully locked out but I thought this would be pretty funny for everyone to just post on here what, how, or why they chose their screen name!! Just add your name to the list with a brief description.....Hahahaha I cant wait to hear some of these answers!!!

    Ill start off first..... Keepmwlknfny- I love playin call of duty first off, and I came up with this name because whoever I play with is havin to walk funny to try and dodge my bullets (and my knife of course) laugh.gif

    Your turn.......

    Got mine almost the same, from old school counterstrike from years back though.... Mr. Miyagi, wax on wax off, methodical, purposeful, tricky, strategic, zen, that whole thing.... that and I am an advocate for making the mantis kick an in-game manuever on first person shooters :D

  8. The way I read the law is that if you have a net worth over a million, you are okay ... right, that has been established.

    Now a lot of you are asking what about a hundred thousand dinar? or five hundred thousand?

    There is a part in the law that says smaller amounts are okay, and they refer to it as travel currency ... what you would take with you to Iraq if you were travelling there. Well it is not inconcievable that if you were to travel to Iraq you would need, pre-RV, to have any amount of dinar up to and over a million dinar if that were the case.

    I mean, look at the pre-RV dinar, and that is what they are going to assess this on, not just what it is worth after. Be reasonable. If you had gone to Iraq, came home with dinar not spent, kept it for a while and the RV happens, what then? You take say three hundred thousand to the bank. At the time you took it to Iraq it was worth how much? ... a few hundred dollars U.S., right? I would suggest that they would evaluate what you were holding, as travel currency not spent during travel, and it would be okay. I don't see why not.

    Maybe I am way off here but I don't see a problem with this. You are all assuming that the moment you go to cash in they are going to assess you according to what the RV value of your dinar is ... and for taxes and other stuff, yes, that is reasonable. But if it did start out as travel currency, which they allow in smaller amounts, even a million dinar is worth maybe a thousand dollars which is not unreasonable to use as a travel currency. I am repeating myself here. I hope I got the point across.

    :)

    smee2

    makes sense to me, I hope you're right!

  9. Hey Adam, I'm not the sharpest when it comes to understanding everything going on with this law and how it will affect me... I have 300k IQD, if the RV comes out and it does not push this above $1,000,000 what kind of problems will I have to deal with in order to cash in?

  10. I read all sorts of entertaining stuff on this site on a daily basis, but if I want solid, factual information laid out in a sensible manner there's really only two people I look to (used to be 3, but haven't seen a DOC post in a while) and that's Adam and Scooter. It makes me very sad to see you go Scooter, but knowing you I'm sure it's a well thought out decision. I wish you nothing but happiness and love with your family, and I wish all of us a swift RV! Who knows, maybe I'll run into you while cashing in sometime soon. Nothing but the best Scoot, you will be sorely missed!

  11. On the contrary my friend I don't take possum seriously or his silly attempts at humor. I just think his b.s. Is old and it's time to put it to rest. There are some people who are new and don't know possum is full of crap. You say that you feel sorry for me but I feel sorry for you that you can be entertained by this Terry k wanna be.

    [/quote

    Seriously, if you're new or old it doesn't matter, if you read anything this guy posts and take it seriously, whether it's your first time or not, you should take a rubber band and snap yourself in the eye because you're teetering on stupid (clarification, by "you" and "you're" I mean that universally, not directed at you specifically weneedrv). Also I refuse to apologize for having a sense of humor, whether it's refined or not I don't care, it's better to be the one laughing than the one who takes his/herself too seriously and scoffs at those who are laughing.

  12. Wow it's unbelievable how many people take Possum so seriously, it should be obvious he's just having some fun! I for one know that when I click on a possum post I'm not doing it to glean any legit info about the dinar, I'm doing it for a quick laugh and for a reminder that taking ANYTHING too seriously is a bad thing, especially an investment that none of us have control over. Even months ago when his posts would contain the dreaded word "intel" among other popular guru phrases it was still obvious by reading it that he couldn't possibly be serious. For those who still see a possum post, think "oh boy maybe this is some serious info!" only to open it and be consumed by anger at being duped (really just duping yourself), I truly feel sorry for you. Maybe it's time to turn off the DV, turn on Comedy Central, and brush up on what's a joke and what isn't. Lighten up, if for no other reason than your own health.

  13. True they care about them for one reason and that is to keep an eye on things honestly i dont believe our government gives 2 sh*ts about the people anymore maybe once they did a long time ago but its about power and greed and people are born everyday there is always someone to replace in this world in the governments eyes and they dont think twice about it. thats the cold reality we have to live in. later.

    IMO you are both right and wrong. No, I don't believe our government cares about our soldiers in any sort of sentimental kind of way, and yes they are a bunch of greedy bastard politicians. Our military, our troops, and our people, however, are all the most powerful tools for them to achieve said power, so yes they actually care about us very much. Not on a personal care level, but more like the way you care for a tool that helps you accomplish something; you don't necessarily care if the hammer feels pain when you smash a nail, but you do care that it is whole and working otherwise it makes the overall goal more difficult. The fact of the matter is, in this country at least, more military losses, higher soldier casualties, and more social unrest make things more difficult for the political wolves to maintain their power over us; it's not that they give 2 shits about us, it's that we're more useful to them whole rather than dead or disgruntled, and that's why they do in fact care.

    Oh yea mr miyagi, You should go back to your dojo and train, maybe come back to this site after long meditation when RV occurs

    said the guy who's mental capacity kept him from saying anything of substance so he then chose to make fun of a screenname.... hahaha oh man

  14. I too am in Kuwait...and in all honesty I would have no idea if it happened until I get home and read the news....out of 1000 cable channels here 995 of them are in arabic(the 5 in english are subtitled in arabic)....they could be speaking for hours about the dinar and I wouldnt know, just pointing out that while being here may give you a different viewpoint, it sure doesnt make you any more informed.

    EXACTLY

  15. Pardon me for chuckling, but isn't it funny how petty people can become when a misspelled word can cause so much distress. I guess my life is full enough where simple mistakes, or in some cases, lack of education or comprehension just don't bother me. Good grief. Too funny. Life is so short, why do we waste it on such meaningless things. Be happy!!!!!

    Indeed life is far too short, however I just want to make sure I'm following you properly... are you suggesting that the pursuit of knowledge, education, and the expanding of our mental capacities along with a sharpened ability to communicate both through written word and verbally are meaningless things?! Because if that is the case, then I believe you are the last person who should be weighing in on such a topic and I pity you.
