  1. So, let's violently arrest these people who are calling for peace? That's some powerful hate right there.
  2. There are leaders and there are followers. Leaders set the pace, while followers are always trying to keep up. Followers are simply trying to "keep up with the Jones'". I can hear them in their meetings saying, "Saudi Arabia has a satellite, Russia has satellites, China has satellites. We should have a satellite!" 😆😆😆
  3. I've very slowly come to the conclusion that EVERYTHING written about Iraq is an opinion piece. 😁 I'm slow, what can I say?
  4. Thank y'all for the info. I don't like roth IRA's, or any other IRA for that matter. This is a personal thing. If it's attached to the gubment, I don't want my money in it. They make the rules and they change the rules. They tell you how much you can put in and when and how much you can draw it out. I would rather pay my taxes now, not after this administration puts all their new taxes in place. I have an IBC and a good tax accountant and I think that will do well for what I am trying to do. Everyone is different so please do your own research. I have two question for folks who like tax deferred "investments". Do you think taxes will be higher or lower than they are now when you start drawing your money out of your IRA? Would you like to pay taxes at a lower tax rate or a higher tax rate?
  5. And isn't it kind of dumb also to tell one of the largest, if not the largest investment company in the world that you aren't going to help them, when the damage was done by a company that you are helping? This is going to get interesting.
  6. Apparently someone thinks Iraq is pretty safe or they wouldn't be giving these things back. When isis or the taliban invades, they try their best to destroy the history of a country. Apparently UNESCO thinks that is not going to happen in Iraq anytime soon. This is a good thing.
  7. Iraq finally has people in charge who believe in managing and growing their wealth instead of lining their pockets with it. As one book says, "He who has will be given more. He who doesn't have, even what little he has will be taken away". In other words, the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer! We want Iraq to be a rich country!!
  8. Did she fall on you? 😄😄
  9. Thanks Sage, Insurance is such a profitable business. The fact that they are now talking about it tells me they are trying to bring other industries besides oil into their country. Did they have any kind of group like our OSHA over there? I have seen pics of them doing some pretty crazy things on their building products over there. But then again, just like with our news, I never really know what's real and what's not.
  10. He says, "It's coming next week, but don't get fixed on dates"! That's like saying, "If you weren't so dumb, you'd be smart"!! Anyway, I got fixed after we had all the kids we wanted. Does that count?
  11. Most of our insurance policies have a "terrorism clause". I wonder what they will do with that clause in their country in the future?
  12. I'll bet you are. That mask looks like it would be hot! 😁
  13. Maybe he's got a camera and a recorder in his "boots on the ground".
  14. Smokey Mtn Dinar, Just give me exact spelling of your name and I will write you in on the next ballot. What are you wanting to run for?😄
  15. This is kind of like setting your watch 15 minutes ahead so you won't ever be late. It's a trick they do in their accounting. And what I have noticed is that people who set their watches 15 minutes ahead are still always late!
  16. I wrote a check to my wife of 38 years yesterday from one of our bank accounts to another account in my name at another bank. I wanted to transfer some money from one account to another and it would take at least two days if I did it electronically. The bank would not let her deposit the check written to her into that account because they said she was not on the bank account she was trying to deposit the check into! She had to bring the check back to our office and I had to sign the BACK of the check that I had signed on the front! And it was a small check for only $250!
  17. It has always amazed me that the irs says that we owe a certain percentage of our income in taxes. And then they start giving us ways (deductions)to legally get out of paying those taxes. What is it? Do you want our taxes or not? Don't take this wrong; I am all for the deductions. I take every one of them that I can without getting in trouble. I has some tax issues about 30 years ago and I never want to go through that again. If our tax code was a lot simpler, then we probably wouldn't have a need for the irs. But that's just my dream, and it will probably never happen.
  18. Y'all are willing to give up all this fun for a few million measly bucks? 😁😁
  19. Thank you 3 Bucks. I guess we can't use the logic of how much oil Iraq has to determine their currency value, can we? 😄 Could you imagine if we had to pay $7.4 million of our dollars for a bottle of water? I think I would have to start from the water hose again like I did when I was a kid! See what socialism does to a country?
