  1. The is currently a problem with the +'s and -'s. Adam is looking into it. -

  3. LOL, I loved Hawii too. I was discharged in '85 came home and ended up going back to Honolulu in 86-89. I was a regular on Hotel Street from '83-'89. -
  4. I was stationed at Pearl from '83-'85. Spent a year on the USS Goldborough (DDG-20) while it was in drydock, and did a short stint at Subase Admin while on Med Hold. Sorry, Had a senior moment and had to change the years. -
  5. Tandy? I think it was the H.L. Hunley. Oh Ya... I'm a big Tom Clancy Fan, I loved reading his books, and how he knew so much about our technologies way back then, and even now I can imagine how much better it is. We've probably got a several big screens with the tracks for all the subs in the area, and what each target cooked for breakfast, and what they had for dinner the night before, and what's on the menu for lunch, which saltwater pump had a bad bearing, and which toilet stalls are currently being occupied. -
  6. Its not the CBI that is buying the Dinar, its the U.S. Banks and any other bank, or financial institution, that is willing to pay the 1 Dinar to $1.00 exchange rate. The value of the Dinar will be whatever someone else is willing to pay for it. Now it does help that the CBI and the GOI is willing to back that rate, but it isn't necessary. -

  11. GREAT TRUTHS 1. In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm and three or more is a congress. -- John Adams 2. If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed, if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed. -- Mark Twain 3. Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But then I repeat myself. -- Mark Twain 4. I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle. -- Winston Churchill 5. A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul. -- George Bernard Shaw 6. A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money. -- G. Gordon Liddy 7. Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. -- James Bovard, Civil Libertarian (1994) 8. Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries. -- Douglas Casey, Classmate of Bill Clinton at Georgetown University 9. Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. -- P.J. O'Rourke, Civil Libertarian 10. Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else. -- Frederic Bastiat, French economist(1801-1850) 11.

We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. -- Aesop FIVE BEST SENTENCES 1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity. 2. What one person receives without working for... another person must work for without receiving. 3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. 4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. 5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work, because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work, because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation!

  13. Where is the doc and let me try to upload it? -
  14. Matthew 18:20 (NIV) 20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
  15. Perhaps not by exchanging Dinar for Dinar, but Dinar for Dollars? Pull in as much as you can by buying them back with U.S. Dollars, issuing the Preloaded Credit Cards instead of cash, and since the Dinar will have a greater value, more reason to encourage savings and checking accounts. -
  16. Maybe someone gave him a wedgie??? -
  17. No MODS do not do anything with the dates, the dates are dates from the article. Some websites don't have dates on the articles, so there is no way of telling how old the article is unless you search for and try to find it on another website. If it is an old article, you can search for it on DinarVets using a key phrase and find out where it was originally posted. -
  18. Have you ever thought, that maybe your friends don't know? Do they have connections with the GOI, CBI, IMF, World Bank or Ministry of Finance? Can you deny, that Iraq is not going to at least redenominate their currency to have it on par with the US Dollar by removing the 3 zeros, as the many news articles coming from Iraq are stating? -
  19. So "if" this pays off who's the naive one? And as a reminder, please do not resort to name calling. If you have some facts or figures to back up your position on how this will NEVER happen, please, tells us what it is so we can become enlightened like you are. -
