Re: Does anyone speak French?

Merci beaucoup, Marianne!  

Does anyone speak French?

I am trying to learn French and am looking for any good resources to use.

Re: A few thoughts on the debt bubble

Get ready for the mess, it is going to happen.  Any bubble can only expand so far before it bursts.  More crashes, more foreclosures, more bankruptcies...and for something new, get ready for bail-ins.  Yee-haw.  

When we shipped the bulk of our manufacturing jobs overseas, we were left with a single major export...the dollar.  The value has, thus far, been kept up due to the petrodollar scheme.  Which, btw, people had to die to keep that in place, but what if BRICS does what Saddam and Qaddafi were prevented from doing?  Or what if, as some claim, that BRICS was orchestrated by the PTB to bring those fringe countries into the NWO?  Either way, it isn't looking good for the average American, or the citizens of other countries.  

What is the financial marketplace but a gigantic crap shoot.  It is like a worldwide Las Vegas that affects everyone, whether they have directly invested or not.  Many, if not most, do invest, even if indirectly through mutual funds and pension funds.  You are invested via your bank, your insurance, your employer...even through those who you purchase goods and services from.  And a massive meltdown will have a massive impact on us...except for a very few, who we can liken to "the house" when speaking about casinos.  Remember the old saw?  "The house always wins."

Re: Do you know OT law about debt forgiveness?

Yep.  And I also know that the last two stock market crashes coincided with the 29th of El Ul, the last day of the Hebrew year, seven and fourteen years ago on 29 September 08 and 17 September 01 respectively.

Oh Bullshit!  

Re: Confederate Flag Controversy

Thanks Marianne.

Re: Sorry, stoners

I don't smoke it, but I know factually it can be of benefit in some cases, particularly with MS, taking the edge off severe pain and nausea.  That said, it is often prescribed to people who simply wish to get high without facing charges...as are many pharmaceutical drugs.

Re: Confederate Flag Controversy

@ Cezar...I notice the claim in the video that one vendor said it was due to federal law, I have heard that elsewhere as well, but I cannot find any verification of that, can you?  I know that several stores had sold out and were taking orders from people immediately following the announcements.   

What the Confederate flag represents has been distorted over time and it has been adopted by groups/people who have nothing to do with what it originally stood for.  That few people know their history is what is a shame.  You, and many others, may feel it is a symbol of slavery.  The same could  be said for the US flag, under which slaves were only considered as three-fifths of a person and under which slavery was still legal and practiced after the Emancipation Proclamation freed the southern slaves.   

Re: Have you been blocked yet...I thought we are acting grown up.

Re: hello i think we should post a video tutorial of how to use zangle.

Excellent suggestion, Red Jester.  Personally, I think all sites should do both a video tutorial and have a text manual.  However, while I think it is a good idea to do, I will not condem any of the new sites that quickly popped up after SH's shenanigans simply because these people worked so hard and so quickly on our behalf.

Note, please, I am not saying you are doing so.  I know you are just putting out a suggestion that would be beneficial to both users and admin...i just want them to know their efforts have been appreciated.
