Ron Paul speaking on the House floor. I think he's a little pissed off at the whole situation. Watch at the end how he just walks away!

Ron Paul knows what's up.
Unfortunately, Americans are so brainwashed that they no longer vote for the most competent candidate, they instead vote for the lesser of two evils that the Democrats and Republicans nominate. Fuck the bi-partisan system!

"What has commonly been called rebellion has more often been nothing but a manly and glorious struggle in opposition to the lawless power of rebellious kings and princes.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen" -Samuel Adams-

Yup, the site only streams to the US. I could probably bypass it with a proxy, but eh, fook it.

In a stunning public realization that the FED sucks I learned a new word-

Novation

in short it is a way that CC companies can screw you, and if you are really good you can screw them too.



I have a lawyer looking into it......

:shock:
I think we've established that "Ka Ka" and "Tukki Tukki" don't work.

I learned that although beeing 44, my trust in people still is at "child's level " sometimes; way too much.
Also I learned that after reading some of the posts you guys make, I have no clue about what you guys are actually saying. :lol:

nico: they're just from the wrong side of the pond ;) :D :lol: It's also an art to write cohesively and coherently without degenerating into jargon and repetition. It's something I'm personally working on - right now this is a major part of my job and it's taken nine months just doing that before I've really realised just how crappy my written English used to be, even if it is my mother tongue.

on the other subject: (paraphrased) Comment from BBC Radio 4's News Quiz this week - ""Federal Reserve" sounds like a cheap malt whiskey brand"....

^^ discuss.

Oh yeah, something else from this week. A naked massage from a russian girl can lead to mildly disturbing daydreams. Especially when she then adds really really hot herbs to the mix. No, I didn't pay for it, and no, there wasn't a "happy end" offered!

HAHA Brett; you're right; all of these guys should be on THIS SIDE of the pond, should make life much easier!
About that massage......daydreaming is better [and safer] most of the times; that's what I learned already a long time ago.. :wink:
