Yep, and you still don't appreciate all the hard work they did. Otherwise you would have given them social benefits and retirement rights already, just like the Dutch did with our imported Turkish workforce during the '60s.

Not very civil of you.

ooohhhh you broke my heart robbyg, yet they are still here and loving it. accept it and don't fight it babe :wink: Point I made was that you can't expect them Westerners to integrate if you don't offer them rights to retire there. So you are promoting hypocrisy and intolerance there. After all, you...

MAD

Of course its mad, since the US would'nt leave them on their own.
However, If they did, try throwing a dice and calculate the odds of hitting the same outcome. I don't think the outcome of war will be the same as in 1967.

You get my point.

Freedom!!!

I thought I read that Pamela Anderson was there to wave the whale goodbye...not?

As for RobbyG, well he's RobbyG. He knows what to expect and from whom when he posts. When he was all for Dubai he got pounced on because he didn't live here. For the most part people agreed to what he had to say, but still went back to "you don't live here". Now he posts some realities t...

Somebody has been reading about Warren Buffet here.

Well to be honest, you can't simply release a captured whale just like that. The animal is disorientated and perhaps in the wrong type of water to strengthen/survive.

My first thought when I read the article, was that he will soon die. Albeit out of eyesight.

Take the current situation for instance. Interest rates are near zero in the US. Thats equal to interest rates being absent, so banks get to obtain money free of charge at the FED. But Rob - in the 'Islamic system' the same rules will apply to the FED - why would they lend money to banks at no inte...

Get real! You serious?

Then who is explaining finance to who exactly!? I'm just an amateur here.

School me!

so Dubai was your goal ? Of course it was, and now he/she is bitter at having been rejected on so many applications. huh , I thought he turned down a job offer from AD scared of his freedom to be taking away aaaaany how my offer still stands and like I said befor "pizza won’t deliver it self &...

I'm impressed.

Now, explain your cycle theory in the other topic if you like. I don't see how your thesis of 'no interest rates' policy would work in the real world.

Great. If you really meant that you would be smart enough to keep your shutter next time also. Saves you an effort.

Now I understand what you want! :idea: What you propose is exactly what Friedrich Hayek and the Austrian school of economics wants. Which is going back to the gold standard. A fixed (inelastic) amount of money in circulation, where productivity gains are visible in lower prices, increasing your purc...

Try this video for a start, skip to 2:00 onwards and how the Austrian perspective correctly led Ron Paul to warn about the hazards in the system.

Hallelujah Knighty fella. Those paper money shifters have a limited use and there are way to many of them around. PhD Quants may have talent, but all they really do is leverage capital and inflate assets like oil etc. Society could use them better in the technology sector. Liquidity is good, but too...

I'm very skeptical about globalization, since the word may sound very nice in terms of free market philosophy, but when you consider that other politicians talk about it in a New World Order, like in a World government or UN type body, then I get wary. Who's going to decide for me?! I think nations ...

Anyone for Sushi :) The Jappies got him while he was circling the World islands. Disorientated in the murky Gulf waters, encircling the sinking island of Japan. :wink: http://www.sbs.com.au/news/public/php/resize.php?file=/id/28470/w/450/h/338/jpeg/WhaleHunt_0702_A_customs_1202512113.jpg

Liquidity is good, but too much of it is merely inflationary. Very unproductive. All the countries of the world have got to do is abolish interest rates and usuary from world economics. Only then liquidity will find its way for investments and become productive rather than lying around idle on inte...

The load borne by the glass panels are part of the structural integrity Mr. Dumas, let me ask you this, if the window on an plane blows out at 35,000 do you .. (a) order another G&T and a blanket to keep warm, or (b) ask to switch seats because its a bit drafty where you are sitting, or (c) Do ...

You don't seem to have addressed the point I've made a few times - the same mechanisms you describe can operate where no interest is earned/charged, but where profits from investments are shared. (But if you have and I've missed it - apologies) In my view, the abolishment of interest rates make it ...

First off Sammy is a SHE! Secondly, Atlantis has been very sketchy with details of the release and the reasons behind it. Most people are saying that Sammy was very sick and they decided to release her to take her chances in the ocean, rather than run the risk of her dying in captivity and enduring...

Berrin, can you please reply in the way that deductively addresses the logic I made clear? Because when I have to reply to your new statements, I have to repeat myself each time to show you my deductive logic makes sense about how savings and interest rates influences human nature and the business c...

I think the BMW E36 3-series is a timeless model. Great looks, not too curvy, mascular lines and raceworthy. Check these videos for instance. A favourite still, Judd V8, 10k RPM, and that howlllll - Owll Auowlll :wink: :lol: Enjoy! 1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDnKPxyWDwk 2. http://www.youtube....

And it has nothing to do with Dubai & everything to do with build standards. It just so happens that acceptable standards in Dubai are at best questionable and at worst non-existant. To go back to the car analogy - do you think that an insurance company would insure a cut'n shut car. No of cour...

I like my BMW's better. Sorry mate.

I wonder where you get that silly knowledge from. BMW Sauber F1 team worked together for four years. Engine is top of the line hand made by BMW Motorsport division. In fact, their new topline car models (E92 M3, S65 V8 4.0 liter and E60 M5, S85 V10 5.0 liter) are based on F1 techniques developed in ...
