You have got to be kidding about the moon and the sun being the same size, Just think about this for a second, as far as visual perspective , the sun being a very large object compared to the moon but it much farther away to us than the moon, (farther objects appear smaller, just like the other planets and stars) you can't just look up and say Hey ! they look exactly the same size so they must be. this is how human knowledge goes backwards

where does the Sun go with a flat earth when the people in Australia see night and NY it's day time, if it's flat the Sun has to be underneath the flat saucer you say it is. What keeps the clouds and atmosphere on the flat saucer, without gravity to explain what keeps these and everything else on the earth. if it is some clear dome cover the flat earth then that is half a hemisphere, you might as well just add the other half. (making a globe)

I don't know about everything else but I know there is no way you can say a right angle triangle with 1st 90 degree line (A+C) pointed towards the sun and say the A + B distance is equal to the A + C or B + C distance, trying to prove the 3100 miles between the line on the earth is equal to the distance to the sun Is wrong you end up with 1 90 degree angle from say point A to point C and the other being something like 87 degrees or higher and the last angle at C is like 3 degrees or less. go to this site and check out right angle triangles "https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/triangles-interactive.html" I'm no math expert by any means but I like to think I have some common sense and I don't see any reason that video proves the sun is only 3100 miles from earth. so if that is false then you have to wonder about the rest of it, is it also based on shoddy math or bad science.how can you believe it so wholeheartedly I'm just wondering and not trying to offend anyone Tony

The experiment with the angle is totally skewered, there is no way you have a 45 degree angle with that distance and the distance to the sun, a simple way imagine it is to draw a circle on a piece of paper then some distance away from it place a dot, now imagine you take your first line to that circle from the dot, no matter where you go on the dot there is no way you can get a true 45 degree angle to the circle unless you go way off the dot. That what your trying to do with angle experiment and say that is true distance to the sun. It's false

I was in the 82nd airborne when I was in the army so I think I can say those Seals are pretty hard core, heck on our full load out jumps we had 200lbs of equipment, I look at Michael more and he doesn't look like he's humped any packs lately. maybe he should serve himself before he starts throwing any negative comments around and anyone who wants to start talking about this movie not being totally accurate (it's a frigging movie) get over it they most likely made changes either for the sake of Opsec (operation security) or pure entertainment purposes, still does not take away the fact the guy was an American hero.

I would say, once the currency has come off the program rate and is recognized internationally, since it is still on the program rate no one can say what it will come out as when re-introduced into a world economy. when that happens we will finally know wether it should be held or used as toilet paper. Tony

One thing nobody mentions when they say this currency can't possibly be raised a thousand percent is that back when the war started they devalued it from well over $2.88 per dinar down to the low rate it is. No one cried they couldn't do that then so why say it's impossible to restore it something of a reasonable rate now. The big question is how are they going to do it and will that leave us all out in the cold or able to see some value. It's a cheap bet and no one can say for sure until a change is made and Iraq is brought off the program rate.

I think like it or not America is part of the world economy and with that and all the dollars out there it'd be hard to back all that with gold, I just read Jim Richards book death of money and it is probable that the IMFs SDRS will replace the dollar as the world reserve, and if so it could be possible to back the SDRS with gold. That would put gold at about 9k an oz

Thanks Machine, I always take a peek at your posts and have been buying silver since it was at $5 an oz I am also about half way done with the Death of money and find it very interesting read on Macro-economics if I am understanding it correctly, I had told friends back when I was buying at that low amount that it suppose go to $50 an oz and it was pushing towards it for a little while. anyway those same "friends" still look at me with that condesending smile, I don't even bother to mention anything more to them about silver or gold Keep up the posts Tony

I can pay you 935 How would you like me to pay, I can do paypal Tony

No one told me, I was looking around online in 2007 for different option on purchasing silver and came across the dinar thing from the international investors Iraq and started reading, well I bought it at that time and have been some here and there since then. Oh yea and silver I bought then was at about 5 dollars an oz. but my friends didn't want to hear it even about silver, too bad for them

I got 800 to send you, what's your paypal address? Tony

That man needs to be president, very articulate and intelligent speech. Thank you for posting it, I was afraid that this would be the result of any kind of amnesty bill And Mr. Cruz just held that flaw up to the light for everyone to see.

I would buy 2 million dinars, at 850 a million, if you take care of the ship cost like you mentioned I will pm u as well Tony

I like to use these guys, they seem to always be cheaper then AMEX http://www.gainesvillecoins.com/products/162421/2013-1-oz-american-silver-eagle-coins-brilliant-uncirculated-condition.aspx

I've never seen tiffany to be demeaning or condescending in any way, and I find all the facts that she brings to the forum very interesting when most of the people who respond have no where near the facts to support their arguments, I not a historian and have not researched at all but have also wondered on discrepancies in biblical stories read I thank her for bringing so much knowledge to the table, because even though we may not believe the same thing it doesn't stop us from have a civil conversation, and I get some education out it

- you too my friend

I think the answer to the second question is, wouldn't we all be asking the same question if we formed on a planet where we were silicon based instead of carbon and breathed methane

Well since you appear to be asking all the questions, let me ask you one Neo, wouldn't you say that your Atheist view of life means that you have no fear or expectation of anything happening after you die, so what is keeping you from doing anything you want in this life without any though of repercussions,? I mean as an Atheist you must live only in the here & now without any fear or thought of any consequences for your action as long as you get something out of it under your view there is no meaning to life, it is just a procession to a point of extinction where none of any of our acts have any meaning or relevance, that sounds like a very shallow way to live. yes I do choose to live by the values my mother taught me, and yes she did get those lessons from a book that's purpose is to teach good morals, even though the only one that has really stuck with me has been the golden rule (I am not a practicing Catholic, christian or anything else) but I do consider myself spiritual, I consider organized religion to be a crutch that allot of people need to lean on to get thru their lives, so in that sense I agree with allot of what you have to say but the one thing that rings true to me for whatever reason, is that there is a God or entity that I believe might be a culmination of all life and more important, sentient, self aware life. Tony

The last part is kind of an exaggeration of what I believe, so maybe a little Sci-Fi to tell you the truth I do believe in a personal god that I am connected to, this belief is not based on any Facts or proof or anything logical but is based on an personal belief alone and that after all is the definition of Faith whether or not there is anything waiting for me after I die (and that is what everyone is wondering) doesn't matter here and now, what does is what I believe or should i say choose to believe and how that belief causes me to act and treat the others around me that I have to share this world with.

I have thought about that idea about being a part of a larger organism but it just seems like Sci-fi now and to answer your question, no I'm not an Atheist, even though I am an engineer and I tend to over analyze everything, I choose to believe in a higher power (maybe not the same version that's touted about on these forums) but really at the core isn't it all the same being, entity, god so yes I believe in god but my image of him is a cyberpunk, crazed mad scientist with a crazed look in his eye who rewards ingenuity, and creativity (you all might not like my image of the supreme being), but that's ok cause I prob don't like some of you all's image of god either. : ) Peace Tony Tony

I think the problem is interpitation and perspective, everyone has a unique point of view and so everyone's perceptions or what God is or isn't are different even for people who have read the same books or stories and even for people who have profess that they don't believe in god, somewhere in the back of their mind there is an inkling of the thought that there is "something" it may not be what everyone is writing about but there is something out there and on those peoples death beds they grasp for that something to help them pass thru to whatever awaits us. I have long ago stopped stressing over who or what there is out there and just tried to live the best life I can live with the cards I've been dealt, trying not to judge others or force them to my way or anyone else's way of thinking or believing so in conclusion to me 2 cents worth of nothing, I think everyone should just live & let live Tony P.S Perception = reality

Tandy, whatever Redwizard doesn't buy I will, I am looking to pick up another mil or 2 Tony

ok sorry I'm in NC
