I read an article about him yesterday. If he is right I am moving to the east coast so I can be a part of the EU. :happydance:

I read the same article (wasn't the first time I've read about him). What is worth noting is some of the comments:

-Someone pointed out that the divisions on the map are almost identical to a the map of a video game in which the premise is that the US has split up and you are trying to establish trade between the territories (or some sh*t like that).

-Someone else mentioned that any idiot with a crayon can draw lines on a map.

It is all propaganda. :rolleyes:

I finally picked up "Total Money Makeover" by Dave Ramesy and instead of just listening to his tips and half assing the steps, I am actually going to work through the plan and make it happen.

I'm only half way through it and I already see a lot of things I need to change. Not as bad as some, but certainly far from perfect.

Also try "Smart Couple Finish Rich" and "The Automatic Millionaire", both by David Bach. While they are corny titles, the information is pretty good.

I probably would have lost my previous job. Now, I'm lucky enough to work in an industry that won't be affected much, if at all. People tend to drink beer whether times are good or bad.

i know, i've been there.

while we're at it, let's drop a neutron bomb on arkansas as well.
But, wait...before you push the button....there is some great riding in AR. So, nuke the delta but spare the hills.

That would be hilarious if that happened before Quebec separates from Canada.....
Finally, It would be such a great thing. But the real question, and the most important, would be to know if Monteal's West Island would be deserted by it's demoralized population!

I'm also buying a shotgun and likely a handgun for self-defense in our house. Crime has been escalating in our neighborhood...
And maybe a bazooka once the crooks get their dirty hands on some used M-16 tank.

:bonk:

Viva Canada!

i'm lucky enough to be in a job that gets busier as times get harder. the city i work for, however, has frozen raises and cut costs in other areas to try and ward off lay-offs in the coming doom.

if all else fails and i lose my job, i can always reply to those dynacorp/blackwater recruitment letters and go the mercenary route. i'd hate to leave the family for 3 months at a time but the $$ is good.

The money is good, but dying is forever.

Ohhhhh.....mercenary...I should go that route. Can you be a good mercenary armed only with biting wit and relentless sarcasm?

You could fight terrorists by boring them to death with the mundane minutia of your rather average existance.

i was thinking something along the same line. i could introduce freeride to the streets of kabul. ;)

...and a coworker of mine is a constant reminder of PSD work. he has magic legs ,a la Lt. Dan, from his stint overseas with dynacorp. but at least he's back on the job with me :thumb:


it's freaky how every single military vet at work has gotten the recruitment pitch from the merc companies; and several have taken the bait (my wife gave me the HEEEEELLLLL NOOOOO!!) . $112k for about 6 months work is pretty enticing and recession proof.

The problem is the lack of support in country. Every Joe there is only there for a paycheck and only worries about himself. It doesn't seem like a big deal until you get in the **** and you can't count on the jackass next to you to back you up. It can make for a real bad situation.

I have a friend headed over there next month.

Money doesn't last forever, death, dismemberment and time with your family does.
