  1. I have been missing your posts. I always seem to agree with what you are saying and now you are in North Dakota !! I grew up in the oilfields by Tioga. I miss ND so much....even the winters. Well maybe especially the winters. I am a winter person and am not ashamed of it I also have had a feeling, or a God whisper as I call my feelings, that something will happen soon. I hope that it is a RV but honestly I don't know what God has planned but I do have a sense of anticipation that I have not had in 10 years of this. Could be me projecting the feelings that God is giving me to the RV since that is what we have been waiting for but I know something big is about to happen!
  2. Over the line for sure. It's one thing to despise what Obama is for his politics and his actions, quite another to state you would kill him if he was there. And Mr Fossedal was in a federal building when he stated that. I can believe someone turned him in...threatening a President is serious. There were arrests made by the Secret Service for death threats against Bush, there were arrests made for threats made against Clinton. It is a fact that US Presidents get death threats and that the Secret Service will investigate and arrest the person if the threat is felt to be plausible. Mr Fossedal did not temper his threat when questioned by the secret service, he reiterated it. It's one thing to be angry with someone, quite another to threaten the life of said individual.
  3. Just because they did not find the real rapist does not mean that these boys were guilty. My daughter did a report on this case for school.....it was obvious by reading the files and reports that they were profiled and found guilty because they were black and not because of evidence.
  4. Seems when they want to take the focus off what is going on (or maybe not going on)...that is when they recycle the Delete the zeros and don't delete the zero's articles. I just hope they complete whatever study they need to complete so they can do something
  5. what the heck? They don't do enough with bombing in the country.. the militia needs to bring more to the people of Iraq? If I could change one thing in this world...it would be hate. I do not understand intolerance and hatred. I don't practice either of those things...I have a tough time with it in others.
  6. Those poor people. The living conditions for most of Iraq is deplorable. Their government officials should be ashamed...they squabble about how to spend the countries wealth but give nothing back to the people. Hmmmm....just like the USA. It's all for pork projects for a few and nothing for the many. And I do not believe in handouts but the Iraqi people should share in the oil wealth by having their infrastructure and living conditions improved. Although it can be hard to improve living conditions when radicals are bombing the country every day.
  7. Zig I agree....I believe that Iraq does not want to follow US "suggestions" as it will make them appear as puppets in the eyes of the middle east. However, if they allow Turkey to influence them, that is acceptable since they are a Muslim country and not a western influence. I hope they get something agreed on quickly. I would love an increase in the dinar without any lop for myself, but would really like to see an agreement and an increase in purchasing power for all the citizens of Iraq who do without so much and survive day to day in intolerable conditions.
  8. The photos and footage of this disaster makes me cry. There was one of a family on the roof of their house trying to get out of the flood but then the winds came. There was not any way that they could hold onto that tin roof. It is a reminder to me that no matter what I am going through, there are others who are struggling to provide the basics, the things I take for granted.
  9. My thoughts exactly. Shouldn't people know who they are voting for and what they stand for. Generally with even that much education, you would find out what race the candidate may be. Lots of voting along race lines and not so much for substance.
  10. hmmm....at least they are not spouting some huge number....that would give it away for sure. The .60 to .64 is a good number....but I do not believe any of the rest of it. Only 3 to 5 people know....who let it leak that it was happening? Should be easy to figure out if there are only 3 to 5 people
  11. Ahhhh but there will be a reason....there is always a reason!! But until then, I will believe and hope....sooner or later someone will be right
  12. Hopefully after their non-holiday they can actually get to work and do something productive for the country. Btw....my holidays are almost always less than 8 days
  13. That is the Kurdistan region. I am guessing the secular violence is much less there. Wouldn't travel out of my immediate area if I did ever go....but can't say I have the need or desire to visit at this time
  14. Not that I would be ecstatic with 0.01 but we would have made $9300 on our dinar without exchange rates. Certainly not what we want but if it came out at 0.01....it would be a start and better than what it is at now.
  15. They did learn from the masters of "kicking the can down the road". They get as much done as our congress....very very little. And for pretty much the same reasons....they don't know how to compromise and work together.
  16. That ought to be productive can't imagine either one getting anything done so they join forces and still nothing gets done.
  17. I have heard that other stores that were limiting the amount that could be purchased while the system was down had very angry riot prone customers who kept yelling that "you don't know how much I have available so you can't limit me". Can you image the mob's and riots at Walmart if they limited the amount they could take? Personal responsibility....that is what is missing from this. If I would have been manager at WalMart I would have simply closed all EBT sales and said until they are up and running, if you do not have an alternate form of payment, you will need to return when they system is working correctly again. I would say that they couldn't get angry over limits but then again I work with the public every day....they get freakin angry over the stupidest things. Again....no personal responsibility My husband was in LA after Katrina...he said it was way worse than his tours in Iraq
  18. Don't know why you were negged Rayzur but I evened you back out.
  19. I wasn't trying to say that Google or whomever was incorrect....just that the software I used said basically the same thing but with a few different words.
  20. I used my Babylon software to translate this article. I don't know how to simply enter it here so I had to cut and paste....sorry for the hard to read article. The articles published in the site reflect the opinions of their authors and do not necessarily reflect the view of the Agency " economic page parliamentary economy expects lifting zeros from Iraqi dinar in 2015 the Batallion of Al-Qa 'qa' - 06/10/2013 - 10:34 am | number of readers: 244 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- confirmed that the parliamentary committee on the economy and investment the zeros from the dinar will improve its value, expected to do this in 2015. He said a member of the Committee Deputy Hassan Salman Wahab in a press statement on Sunday that "lifting the zeros from the dinar raises the value of the equanimity that will enjoy more than the will reduce the number of banknotes in the framework of the new edition is frequently discussed and both the level of the country or abroad," he said. He said the attorney Wahab that "states which fought this experience had succeeded and achieved balanced economy sober, but we have, unfortunately, everyone is speaking in all cases, whether or not the competence and proposes ideas bizarre alien landscape and this is not true," he said. and that he "was going back on the matter was deferred to 2014, there is a readiness to him and could be done, but many squabbling was forced everyone to be postponed to next year," he said. He pointed out that "the resolution when mature and complete picture of all will be the agreement with global printing presses and conclude contracts for its completion and entered into force as we have a few new currency banknotes easy dealing and deliberation, and I think it will be ready in 2015 ".

  21. Why don't the muslims just stop watching them? Pretty easy to do.....turn the channel if someone is doing something you don't like. That way they won't be offended. I love the fact that they include a prayer at the end of every episode.
