Second of all, don't tell me what I should be looking at. I did my undergrad in Finance and I took more econ courses than a normal human should. I also read econ books whenever I have some spare time and I feel like stimulating my mind and I read at least 30 minutes to an hour of financial/economical news every single day. I know my shit. Also, the fact that you're telling me that purchasing power parity is what I should be looking at is telling me that you understand fuck all. Do you even understand what the inflation is like in China right now? You wanna talk PPP, People are having trouble feeding themselves because food prices are skyrocketing. I'm sure econ 101 was really interesting but there's a little bit more to economics than just that.
And I am local. I just slept with enough American girls to feel like I have an honorary citizenship.
so lemme sum that tryst up
i took my undergrad (rofl) in bla bla bla so i can totally ignore what's going on around me and pretend im American because i painted an american flag on my palms
Stylin: look m!chael America is up in flames!
m!chael: but but but but my undergrad says..... wait... but China has an inflation issue!
like that totally counter balances Americas cesspool of issues right now
we already know China is keeping their currency low, when they allow a slight adjustment as they are doing atm they'll hopefully be able to maintain their overall rise @4% for the year which is where america was @ in '08 which even in their rut they were able to alleviate
anyway time fer bed m!chael i'll be missing your entertainment
She taught me right from wrong and always told me to stay positive and help others no matter how small the deed - that helping others gives us meaning to carry on. The sun is out today and it's a new day. Life is good. I just needed a slap in the face.
Seeing the americans outside the whitehouse celebrating his death and singing reminds me of when islamic countries celebrate when bad things happens to westerners.
Now generally I dismiss conspiracy theory sort of thinking but doesn't it strike people as odd that his body's already been dumped at sea?
You wanna talk conspiracy theories, there's one floating around that Bin Laden has been dead for months.. and they just wanted to wait for the best time politically to announce it... since Obama's ratings have been plummeting. lol.
was it really worth it to kill one man spending billions of dollars losing thousands of lives for this one person when you could use those billions to save millions of people... every1 in the states is so excited he is dead but there will be many others to take his place
He could have been dead for awhile now and it might have taken months to get DNA to prove it was really him. I mean, he's been hiding for so long and getting older, how do we reallly know what his condition is or how he looks today?
I don't buy the conspiracy that Obama waited until a good time to boost his ratings or to help with the election. Too big of a gamble I think, which could really backfire if terrorist attacks suddenly escalated because Osama's followers want revenge.
The government wanted to ensure he was buried within 24 hours of his death as required by islam, a burial at sea was pretty much the only way that would be possible. Besides that, if he were given a traditional burial then his grave could become a site of pilgramage for extremists and that needs to be prevented. Posted via RS Mobile
Exactly. There was no way they'd put him in the ground so that people could travel and worship his burial site or whatever. They weren't going to cremate him either. So they just flipped him overboard.
Plus, it was noted somewhere that nobody wanted his body, especially not Saudi Arabia.
Well, I'm happy he's gone. Honestly, I'd rather live under US corruption than Osama's idea of Islam.
That guy can go fuck him self. I'm happy he's dead.
