  5. Drivers license & a little girl

    in Off Topic posts

    Subject: Your Driver's License Tells It All

    A mother is driving a little girl to her friend's house for a play date.

    'Mommy,' the little girl asks, 'how old are you?'

    'Honey, you are not supposed to ask a lady her age,' the mother replied.

    'It's not polite.'

    'OK', the little girl says, 'How much do you weigh?'

    'Now really,' the mother says, 'those are personal questions and are really none of your business.'

    Undaunted, the little girl asks, 'Why did you and Daddy get a divorce?'

    'That is enough questions, young lady, honestly!'

    The exasperated mother walks away as the two friends begin to play.

    'My Mom won't tell me anything about her,' the little girl says to her friend.

    'Well,' says the friend, 'all you need to do is look at her drivers license. It is like a report card, it has everything on it.'

    Later that night the little girl says to her mother, 'I know how old you are, you are 32.'

    The mother is surprised and asks, 'How did you find that out?

    'I also know that you weigh 140 pounds.'

    The mother is past surprised and shocked now.

    'How in heaven's name did you find that out?'

    'And,' the little girl says triumphantly,'I know why you and daddy got a divorce.'

    'Oh really?' the mother asks. 'Why?'

    'Because you got an F in sex.'

    If you see someone without a smile today

    give them one of yours!

  7. Three Zeros Increase Dinar Value

    in Opinions, Perspectives, and Your Two Cents on the Iraqi Dinar

    Posted

    This is Dinar Buddy. I am an investor and have a few steps that you need to understand to achieve the best return on the pending Dinar RV. First the removing of three "zeros" is going to increase the value of the Dinar. It also allows the GOI to start flushing the new Dinar throughout Iraq at a rapid pace. Most Iraqis and investors from around the globe will immediately turn in their Dinar at rate around $1.18. The removing of the three "zeros" are not an RV, again not an RV. The real RV will happen once the new Iraqi bills are flushed through the system. There will be confusion and people posting the RV has happened, but is has not. Banks and Dinar Sellers will by back the Dinar at $1.18 and hold for the real RV... Hold out, hold out for the real RV and you will be amazed. God speed

    At $1.18, I'm not waiting !!!

  8. Suck It Up Seniors

    When Air Force One leaves a "duplicate" also leaves at the same time to prevent the public from knowing which one the President is on. So double the flight hours.

    Don't forget nancy Pelosi...the cost to the taxpayer by the time she left office - "cost the United States Air Force $2,100,744.59 over a two-year period — $101,429.14 of which was for in-flight expenses, including food and alcohol, Not to mention the $10,000.00 per day room in Hawaii (four Seasons) vacation she took just before she left office. Amazing!!!

    By the Way, not sure why you are addressing "Seniors". I don't believe they were the majority vote in the last election.

    Maybe the "Seniors" should have been the majority!!!

  9. Tesla Motors

    in Off Topic posts

    Posted

    Tesla Motors is the business that almost everyone should love. They build electric cars that will reduce pollution and could decrease America's dependence on foreign oil. Furthermore, Tesla manufactures in the United States, with the new model S factory opening in Fremont, CA. While many companies have cut back on workers, Tesla is adding more. During the height of the crisis, it only laid off 60 workers. Today, it has 900 employees, and its website shows 131 new job openings.

    Tesla Motors has created both good manufacturing jobs as well as engineering and tech positions. Why doesn't this sort of thing happen more often? Well, some of the obstacles in Tesla's path may give us a clue. The company faces numerous regulatory impediments. I simply wanted to list four of the most absurd so that you can get the idea.

    1. Tesla Motors was fined $275,000 for violating the Clean Air Act. Apparently, the company did not acquire the necessary certificates of conformity for emissions from the EPA. Let's put this in very blunt and simple terms. When a zero-emissions electric car company is fined under the Clean Air Act, the stupids have won.

    2. One of the coolest aspects of a Tesla car is its silence. That's right. With no internal combustion engine, the Teslas are an amazingly quiet ride. In fact, the company widely advertises this feature. This will continue to be a competitive advantage of the electric car until perhaps 2013. Why 2013? Well, in January 2011, Congress passed and Obama signed the Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act.

    According to the law, the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) will set minimum noise requirements for electric vehicles and hybrid electrics traveling at low speeds. The vehicles will be made louder in order to protect vision-impaired pedestrians from the extremely quiet electric cars.

    3. Since Tesla's offering is very specialized, the company decided to create its own distribution chain rather than go through independent dealers. Since the cars are so unique, this does make sense. Currently, the company has opened 16 dealerships around the country. Plus, it sells many cars over the Internet.

    However, creating a company-owned sales network comes with additional regulatory challenges. For example, according to Kansas law, residents cannot purchase cars from companies without a licensed physical location within Kansas. If a Kansas resident orders a Tesla online, it is illegal for the company to deliver the car. It can only do so by opening a store in the state first. Considering that Tesla dealerships are only located in major metropolitan areas around the world, most Kansas residents can forget about owning a Tesla.

    4. The state of Texas has another peculiar distribution law. There, the vehicle manufacturer cannot be simultaneously licensed as an auto dealer. The law essentially legislates a middleman between the manufacturer and the customer. Sure, Tesla could do this, but their entire distribution model is based on the opposite. They simply want to sell their cars with their own sales team. Is that so much to ask?

    These are just some minor regulations. The company has bigger fish to fry, such as car safety standards. However, these absurd examples give a hint of the challenges the company faces. With these sorts of obstacles and a tangle of regulation at every turn, is it so hard to conceive why jobs are going overseas? Modern entrepreneurs must have more than a good idea; they sadly need an in-depth knowledge of regulation as well.

    Does not everyone have their own opinion?

    Why would or should anybody bash anyone for that?

    If I don't think or believe the same as you. Does that make me wrong or bad?

    Lighten up everyone!

    As long as we wake up on the Green side of the grass tomorrow, We are fine!
