aferriss

It's just another bite of the elephant, Goeers. Do stay grounded. I'll bring the popcorn, you bring the sodas and we'll continue watching this thing unfold together. LOL. Have a good evening.

I noticed you hemmed and hawed around answering any of my questions. If you're not going to answer the questions I posed to the other person, which was intended for them, I don't want to hear it. And if it's okay for their religious beliefs to be subject to interpretation, I guess it's okay for us too, right? And so does that mean we need to go over there and kill for the sake of Christianity? Cause we didn't go over there for that. I'm sure we can conjure up a few fanatics for them too. After all, it's condoned when they kill us or you think it should be...it's justified by their Qur'an too...but OH!! I forgot!! It's all subject to interpretation. And the lies that are contained within any of those writings and self-reflection. Please psycho-analyze yourself. I'm not speaking of my religion specifically. As a matter of fact, can you answer my question...what's the big deal if Israel has that little piece of land...how much land do those Palestinians have? Miles upon miles upon miles...and they can't give the Israelis that little piece? Yet they call themselves peaceful..... Spare me your psycho analysis. It's guaranteed you're no professional and even if you were I wouldn't go to you.

You can say whatever you want about Israel, but when last I checked...it wasn't Israel who killed 2,975 people in one day...or bombed the U.S. embassy in Nairobi...or blew up the USS Cole...or who are still planning attacks on the U.S because of their religion. Or who bombed a subway station in the U.K. and so much more. It was our "lovely" Muslim Palestinians. And don't you think it's rather odd that our "illustrious president Obama" just happens to support the very people who killed a whole slew of us? Furthermore, you fail to mention the horrible crimes against Israelis that Palestinians have committed against them. But it's typical for people like you. You won't even mention how Palestinians kill their own people. Saddam and Chemical Ali... I know you have all this bad to say about Israel, but they have also been one of our best allies. They've fought alongside our soldiers through many wars and never backed down, but where were our wonderful, "peaceful" Palestinians in all this. Hell, they were wishing we would be defeated and die. After all, we are all infidels and because we don't worship Allah and Mohammed and Islam then we shouldn't be allowed to live. And that goes for Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs, Catholics, Christians, and anyone who proclaim peace Ayahuasca, etc. OR are you going to say that there is nothing in the Qur'an teaching Islamic jihad? I've studied the Qur'an and I can give over 100 verses in the Qur'an teaching Islamic jihad. Yet, I'm supposed to believe after seeing my people killed and reading the articles of Palestinian Muslims killing Christian Palestinians and the many atrocities that are committed by Palestinians that this is peaceful religion...hello...Osama bin Laden? I mean, did you read what he wrote in his will? Go bark up someone else's tree. Besides, why do they want the Israeli land anyway? The Palestinians own Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Tunisia, Syria, and many more. I mean, have you seen the size of Israel compared to the rest of the nations around it? It's microscopic on a world globe. I mean, if Palestinians are so "peaceful," why not let Israel have the land and be done with it? Why bother? Or will you have to admit that Palestinians aren't as peaceful as they claim to be? And how is that Israel keeps prevailing against Palestine? HMMM...makes me wonder. And by the way, with the manner you came out verbally attacking us...do you think you will get anywhere with us that way? With friends like you and the Palestinians...WE don't need enemies. And anyway, they were never our friends from the start. They only do what's convenient for themselves in that moment in time. Guaranteed if we turn our backs even for a moment, Palestine will be driving in the knife. Forgive me, but I stand with Israel...at least they stand. Moreover, they are front-faced and forward with who they are and what they are and they don't speak out of both sides of their mouths. You can keep the hairy buns for yourself and enjoy.

You know I hate when people talk about "the Natives before the white man came" garbage. I am part Paiute Indian...and a very rare breed left. And I'm sorry, but I live in the here and now. The past is the past and though it may not be fair and though it may hurt...it's reality and it's history and what's done is done. And what I am seeing are Palestinians or Muslims (fanatics) seeking to kill every race, every creed, every origin, every sex, every color that are not worshiping Allah and Mohammed in their religion. If you are not Muslim...if you don't fall into their brand of corruption and degradation then you're as good as garbage to them and the radicals want your blood on a silver platter. May I also remind you that nations and tribes and religions...ALL THROUGHOUT HISTORY...at one time or another have gone fanatical and have killed for their beliefs. Maybe not the majority, but enough rot in the meat to make the meat inedible. This is no different with these people...and like the rest of us throughout history that realize our mistakes...they will have to learn from their foolish mistakes. HELLO!! Are we awake yet? Get over ancient history and get with the here and now.

Don't count me out of that. I'd go and defend Israel too.

I didn't vote for this guy from the start and I'm not voting for him this time either. We are trillions of dollars in debt insomuch that our nation is suffering. Our people here need jobs and money to feed themselves and their families. We cannot afford this or for his idiocy. Where in the world does he think we're going to get all this money to pay off the bills he keeps racking up for us tax payers? It will come to a point where the international bankers will quit lending money and then where is the U.S. going to get money? How can we cover debt with debt and leave it that way? It's ludicrous.

Many thanks to you, k98nights.

HMMM...let's see...You come on here and personally attack people, stir up emotions, and expect people to listen to you? And you want us to do the math? I mean, is this your great idea of persuasion? Sorry, but I think you're way off the mark. NO one will listen to the ramblings of a fool. Forgive me, sir, but you coming on here with that attitude is stupid and foolish...you know what kind of site this is. You know who this site caters to and you deliberately start problems? I mean, do you get off on being a fool or were you just born that way? If you don't "buy it"...GREAT! That's perfectly fine. I respect your opinion and I will leave you to it without issue. I'm sure no one else will have issue whether you personally "buy it" or not. NOW, if you will afford us the same courtesy...leave us dreamers to our dreams...we will all be happy. You can be as skeptical as you like and we can hold on to our dreams. Besides if you know what we are and you know we aren't going to "do the math and stop and look at the big picture"...why bother? Why stir up controversy? Or is that what your agenda has been all along? You have no business on this site. You aren't going to "open our eyes or make us do the math." We believe that we will see something from this. And what does it matter to you if we do or don't anyway? It's not your money or your investment.

Thank you for the post blonde_minx.

If this is true, then it's another step in the right direction for the Iraqi people. They deserve more stability and security for what they've endured. This may also lead to a more stable government...and hopefully a domino effect into all areas of Iraq including their financial and monetary areas. Well, here's to hoping anyway.

Results currency auction Notice No. (1898) Was the opening of bids for the sale and purchase of Daily Dollar EIGHT HUNDRED and Ninety-eighth after a thousand to buy and sell foreign currency at the Central Bank of Iraq on Tuesday 17/05/2011 and the results were as follows: Detail Notes The number of banks contributing to the auction 22 Price basis on which the successful bidder, selling dinar / U.S. $ 1170 The price at which the successful bidder Hraoua dinars / dollars ----- Amount sold at auction by the Bank - USD 278 129 000 The amount purchased by the bank at auction - U.S. ----- Total Buy Offers - USD 278 129 000 Total Products - U.S. ---- Note that: Sale price of remittances (1183) dinars / dollars, including commission and the Central Bank of (13) dinars per dollar.

The central bank earns a commission of (13) dinars per dollar with a deduction of (8) JD / dollar amounts purchased ie: the purchase price of U.S. dollars in cash = (sale price of the dollar cash - 8). 4. Central Bank of Iraq will continue buying and selling of the dollar and the price (1170) and earns the same commission mentioned above.

Hopefully this is a start in the right direction for the Iraqis and the defense of their nation. And it seems like the GOI is finally formed and beginning to move effectively...I hope anyway.

It would be nice to direct your post to the people you are referring to by name. Is it myself (aferriss), Ayahuasca, and Easyrider you're referring to or someone else? In my opinion, it is best to be direct so others around the situation don't confuse themselves with someone else. Plus it creates less conflict...at least that's the theory. Thanks.

I wish having peace were that easy to obtain, but the nature of human beings will dictate otherwise. It's a nice notion and I would love it to be real, but it's not realistic. It's the bad apples in every race and religion that will blow it for everyone. AND you're right, the circle will continue...not that people want it to be thus, but because that is reality.

You took my sentiments exactly. It makes sense and you worded it better than I would have. Have a good day, smee2.
