When a corporation wants to be part of the global industry, this has to happen. If a company has 100% american influence, it's not going to do good in different cultural markets. Multi-national executive teams are much better in figuring out the wants and needs of a multi-national company. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

The Euro is backed by the economy of the european nations, not metals. the EU is a floating economy; just like the U.S. Japan, and other major nations. Fiat money is basically an instrument that allows true market value of a currency to reflect its true spending power. In short, it's based on needs, wants and scarcity. Putting anything against metals is artificially valuing money. Gold and platinum belongs in Rappers' teeth and for bling bling or for industy. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

This is the reason we were told. Before the war This was what was felt. I never paid much attention to the news then. What do they know? And later, all of a sudden, I hear "bush Lied" and some stuff about the WMD's. Knowing the press, I didn't pay much attention till it became some sort of conspiracy. I've wondered if the Press was being selective on what they were reporting on the reasons for War; and when the small insignificant not-to-serious reason didn't transpire, they used it as News when in reality, wasn't the real focus. But then; I'm in the Navy and not a civillian that has to rely on the news for information. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

Funny thing. . . Now that I remember, I was going through a Smiths,The Cure thing and dressed the part. Also, I didn't tell my Dad that i Hijacked. . .er, borrowed the car. That cop technically let a suicidal-looking car-napper hit a building and get away with it. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

There's a whole industry based on conversion of money. They even buy on Margin and Short Sell the stuff like stocks. Been like that for many years. It's one of the reasons Gold became useless as a backer in the Thirties. This restaurant is just doing the conversion themselves for attracting customers. It's nothing new. Matter of fact, it's being done my major companies. A lot of trucks are being built in Mexico right now. We have to convert Pesos to Dollars sooner or later. Bought a Dodge? Sooner or later, that money you spent is going to be converted to Euros. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

I know!! Once, I hit a building with my fuel-laden car. The police were willing to forget about it. Government stooge!

Same here. It's double my bi-monthly expected increase.

Ok: Question 1. Answer is no. Use a 1040. In his case, a 1040EZ Best way to look at this is: 26USC 861 thru 863 are General info. 26 CFR 1.861-8 and it's Temporary brethren 1.861.8T are more in-depth. The first half of the CFR talks about how it relates to 861 to 863. They do not source eachother in a loop. question 2. Everyone uses this. IRS and Dept of Treasury lists these regulations numerically and purpose. Question 3. Yes. part a talks about what is taxable, part B talks about what is deductable and what to do with the remainder. question 4. If the reader gets confused with the back-and-forth of regulations, maybe he or she needs to read PUB-17, not the regulations themselves, especially those "T"'s that are in a middle of being implemented. Question 5. It's considered directed at the individual taxpayer because that whole subset is under the header "apportion based on assets" where it talks about an individual taxpayers responsibility of apportioning interest expenses on basis of assets. Got bored by question 6. You can't argue all this on radio in real time. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

Again, as I said: This whole "aircraft scrambling" stuff does nothing to add to the overall conspiracy theory of Govt involvement. It's not even evidence. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

That's not regular logic. That's called Assumption. See, that's the big problem here. You don't go around shooting down airliners full of civillians based on a hunch. Remember, this has never happened before. Just because one plane flies through doesn't mean the others were going to. We didn't have that information previously. Again, Hindsight is 20/20. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

The whole purpose of my argument was to demonstrate the irrelevance of the military aircraft and they not being scrambled in time. We have not shot down an aircraft over the U.S. We've always escorted. We never would have shot them down. We knew they were hijacked, We didn't know what they were going to do. This has never happened before. 20/20 hindsight is not a way of debunking a govt involvement. No, you missed it. The counter argument was that directing out of a cave is possible. The way you wrote it, you made it seem that Bin Laden couldn't have directed it out of a cave. Nope. Fact and Real experience. Join the Service. Get a Clearance. You will learn a lot about how the real world works, and true abilities of the Govt and Military. Its a complete different world from fantasy writers and Tom Clancy. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

This is my favorite paragraph: _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

I've read the script. It doesn't say anywhere that Bush is not looking for him. He is saying that compared to other things going on, OBL is taking less precedent. We are still looking for him or his body. Regarding your concept of "air-defence", how many aircraft in past history were shot down over the Eastern Seaboard after the Air Force "scrambled" aircraft? Why do you think they would have shot down the airliners this time? Exactly. Just like NORAD. NORAD is in a cave too. Nope, here it is again: And the rest is just the utilization of Junk Science.

What does this have to do with anything? THe bin ladens are one of the Middle Eastern largest families. Can they really be their Brothers' keepers? You do know that the family structure is quite different and cannot in any way be compared to Western families. Maybe the Bin-ladens, who are important to us commerce wise, were flown out to protect them from retaliation from us because of actions of a black-sheep removed? Maybe they were being interrogated? Do you have the head count on that plane? Who told you this? This is not true. You think the Air force needs planes to protect the skies? You think the Air force is the only one with anti-aircraft missiles? And, how could the Air defense system have helped us anyways? What are you talking about. We are still looking for him. And the rest is just the utilization of Junk Science. It's a common occurence of people who watch too much TV.

I agree. Well, that is. . .if profitting off 9/11 is proof , then I did it. Some Oil stocks and Halliburton shares went up a few bucks. Matter of fact, everyone who owns mutual funds, retirements 401K's ect. that trade in oils; which is practically all, saw some increase(if not a hedge against the decline in other areas). I also beleive that Income Profit is not the only other way to "Profit". All those terrorists that participated believed they profited in the grandest way possible. So if one is looking at profit as a culprit, there you go. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
