Global economic situation for liveaboard cruising yachties

Well said Masalai. I am quite busy with my farm to allow myself the time to read the light entertainment provided by the mexican immigrant calling himself a "methodist" by religious orientation.

Being the communist to the core of my last cell, I am quite happily making money on what I think is the new gold: food.

As boston, and myself a few times, said you can't eat the metal.

And in the process showing to those with eyes (read: brain) that commies are NOT against the private enterprise. (let's not go to Stalin and similar forrest gumps of the east now. There's no difference between hitler, forrest gump or stalin.)

Rather, communists are against the EXPLOITATION of free (freedom is the right acquired by birth) human beings. Exploitation that comes with capitalism which is only interested in profit, as opposed to "democracy" the bullshitters "defend" so vigorously by killing people who disagree with them.

So **** capitalism and let it blow up and destroy itself as fast as it can. And now, if you would excuse me, I have a farm to tend...

And buying some more land to cater for the market demanding more than I can produce. Unlike the mexican (I still feel we are dealing with cuban immigrant who always wanted to kiss John Wayne's white arse and lick it clean, as anti-castro cuban immigrants tend to desire...) inmigrante. Jobless and happy to live off black economy in the usa, between the posts about things s/he lacks any serious knowledge of.

Like the capitalism...

 

I was tempted to post some photos, but what if you economic inmigrantes see how nice is here and flood us with your presence, looking to buy our property?

To much of a risk. There are to many of rats trying to escape their paradises for something better...

No photos. It's all doom and gloom down here.

 

You keep Chile. I am sure it is a fine place, but I am happy right here in the good old USA, where I shall stay. I am happy you are happy in Chile. Please don't make yourself miserable by ever visiting my country.

 

... and P.S. Viva La Cuba Libre. Algun dia.

 

Well, again we agree. Small steps leading to something positive are always welcome in my view. And if Prof. Kanarev and Clemente are right, with the civil war there being imminent, I would think three times before considring travelling there. And then three times again just to make sure I do not decide to go...

P.S. Cuba is libre. And we'll agree surely (one more time) that when Castro's "way" disappears, they will be even more. But that does not include the other disastrous utopia, the capitalism. Rushing into a consumer-centred "freedom" is going to destroy them only more. As we can see from the ex-eastern block countries. One after another governments fell to criminals and money-grabbing "politicians" while the stupid sheep (majority) rushes into the "supercentres" and "food outlets" stuffing themselves with cheap (chinese made) products no one intelligent really needs, and celebrating these stupid shopping orgies with fat'n sugar sold as "food" in the "fast food" joints.

If that is what you want for them, they would be better as they are. At least they have their own in their hands. No matter how little that seems now.

 

But do not get me wrong, I know that the land is beautiful in your country. And that there are some really nice people too. Pity so many think with their government's head though, instead their own. I keep wondering where did the spirit of "freedom", the one that respects people who think differently and is for cooperation and understanding, go...

 

Iran to drop US$ entirely.

America will invade Iran now for sure.
I just hope it does not escalate into a world war.

 

Believe you me. I don't think with my government's head. My party is in the minority, and the government we currently have is more like the government that you, masrapido would like, than any we have had since 1622. Cuba is not libre but Los Buenos Gusanos who left Cuba are now liberado, y tienen conmigo el miedo que el gobierno tratara a tomar todos las derechos de nosotros. Viva El Capitalismo!

 

I agree, there some really nice people here, but this group I like is probably a different group than the one you like, and when not engaging in political discussions, most are "nice". My fmily swings entirely from commie to imperialist pig with myself being an example of the latter. Stalin was a true imperialist. So was Hitler. They both tried to swallow Europe, and then the world. We just want to live in peace, work for our food and comforts and then be allowed to keep the fruits of our laboursor give them to those less fortunate ones upon whom we wish to have them, without having them seized to be given to others who had no right to them just so that one political party could gain favour from those recipients. Your way isn't charity. It is armed robbery. It is covetous. It is wrong.

 

I wonder how the "salmon" farms are doing in South America...
One thing memorable about Chile was the kid in Santiago with hyperelastic skin - For propinas, he would take his ***** out of his pants and stretch it 40cm, or so, and swing it around like a valley girl swings gum around her pinkey. That's just not the sort of thing you see every day in this hemisphere!
The dude is right tho...parts of Chile are amazingly beautiful - but they still F it up every chance they get. Kinda like Puerto Rico. Everything handed to them and they just turn that gorgeous real estate into a stolen car and drug deal haven.

 

in both the BBC and CNN it was reported today that a number of top commanders of Iran's military were assassinated

thing is the us cant afford any more conflicts, for one the military is already stretched thin as it can and for another it hasn't got the financial means to take on another hopeless war. The final nail in the coffin, I cant picture the american public being dumb enough to get behind a third open war thats going to look dam similar to the other two. Iraq is a nightmare of civil war and its obviously not slowing down other than in areas where one side has already killed off the other. what you dont often hear about is that both sides turned on the Christian populations almost as viciously as they turned on each other. Killed them off nearly to a man, Nice folks eh, whats the death toll in civilians in Iraq, something like a half million I think I heard and Afghanistan is equally as hopeless

no way the US is going into Iran, but I suppose we do have all those handy dandy "terrorists" that might just "happen" to blow up a few of the less desirable elements of the Iranian gov. Mighty conveniently of them eh, of course that was just a coincidence though, The US has clearly stated it does not condone assassination ( now we can all sleep peacefully eh ).

 

Especially after Obama got through with us. This carcass has been stripped nearly clean.
Obama will soon run out of other people's money with which to pay off his cronies. Then it will get interesting, like the old Chinese curse said, "May you live in interesting times".

 

interesting isnt the term I would use but I suppose it does apply
lets see
our oceans are about to go belly up and smell a lot like that stagnant slue out in the back forty except, in the case of the oceans they might just not keep producing the 70% of our oxygen. What are you going to breath then eh ( kinda interesting I guess )
our air is only getting worse by minute ( that ones a long subject )
even the dairy cattle are dropping dead after just a few months of use, cause of all the drugs they get pumped with ( read "the Mad Cowboy and let me know what you think )
even the birds are dropping like flies ( I recently read something recently about a 80% drop in song bird ( Passiformes ) numbers ) and now we got west nile virus wiping out crows/magpies ( corvidae family of birds )
we built cities on the best farm land and the substandard stuff we do farm is drying up and blowing away or becoming so polluted by poor irrigation practices it ends up unusable, does tend to grow some "interesting" weeds though
we spend a hundred times the money in fuel ( subsidized of course ) to catch less and less fish to grind up and feed other fish that we wouldn't have to farm in the first place had we not put that very interesting hundred foot tall concrete wall across every stream and river that they just also happened to live in ( probably my favorite example of humanities pure stupidity )
did I mention co2 yet, now thats a can of worms your not likely to get fixed anytime soon
we got ultra-nationalism barking in every yard '
clearly the US has been sold out to the corporate oligarchy who has ***** the economy and passed the problem on to a president who thinks he can borrow his way out of debt ( good plan eh anyone think that ones going to work )
all in all we're screwed
got doom and gloom in every bloody corner
there's not a single element of this debacle that doesn't seem to be catching up to us
fast

yes I suppose its all very interesting

obviously you have a good sense of humor going this morning
I on the other hand am going back to sleep
cause Im hoping I can somehow wake up from this nightmare

 

Yeah, I'm with you on the cities stuff. Keep the dwellings out of the fertile flood plains for multiple reasons; they flood, that is where the nutrients get deposited and like you said, it is the best farmland for the previously mentioned reasons.

Sometimes we do see eye to eye.

 

Love that co2, though. It makes my soda fizz.
