Global economic situation for liveaboard cruising yachties

mass, your post above sounds like your wrapping things up here and posting a conclusion. Is that it then all done?

 

Its booring, same story, nothing happens, fraud and market manipulation and the poverty stricken residents of the land of hope and ? desperation just sit there and accept it still? - Armed to the teeth and still shooting empty beer bottles - - here in OZ the weapons of only option (no one is allowed to carry anything meaningful), so it is find a gay in full regalia, and hire them as a private army and hope the attackers flee holding their arses in fear...

If you can come up with lots of drivel - - go for it....

 

Well go out and do the boat a bit.

Your inviting me to drivel on your thread? oh well err i dont know err.

Ille think about it if some one starts me off, its not easy drivelling you know. It very hard, and is misunderstood by many nationalities.

Funny thing Zed begged for picys of my boat, even links to anything, then never says a word. I guess he thought I did'nt have one and I was a bull shiter. I don't blame him there is a lot of it about.

Oh and I admit that the story about me landing the 747 is a bit of ********. There were no black chicks talking to me that day, sorry about that bit. I musta got carried away, you know how it is when you've had 5 cups of coffee.

When I was a kid and grown ups would ask you what you wanted to be when you grow up,--well I always said a ship designer, now a days kids say I wanna be a trader. Ahhh times change.

As my mate said to me the other day " its a laught init?' I said what is? he said "you know that noise you make at the back of your throat,- thats a laugh

Any way ille see if I cant think up some drivel.

 

Fanie it is only 11:59 in the morning here - - good morning

Today is Saturday and Tuesday is Australia Day so no work till Wednesday... Cricket is ON.... I do not like cricket ahhh, and I have 4 pallets of bricks to shift Ohhh...

 

....ah Frosty, you must be getting old mate, one time here a few years back, you were one of the best drivelers on stage, you copuld go on and on for days about nothing , now you have to think about it.......sad really, such is life.

....drivel is not a subject that should be taken lightly, it, is in fact a serious past time, drivel takes a lot of work to think about and also to write up well, as it has to have a certain "je ne c'est par" about it...it is not just childish, silly, or meaningless talk or thinking; nonsense; twaddle, as some would have us believe...not any fool can go on and on about nothing in a written article....Frosty, please try again if you can find time between bars.....

 

I- I----Im humbled and gone all gooey like.

Well if you insist (rolls up sleeves).

Bars?? its 9. 30am,-- man thats disgusting, do you think I am a complete piss head or something.

Im just going for my early morning walk around the Westin Hotel gardens and along the beach --Yawn --Ille be back as arsole swatznigger says.

 

I'm with masrapido on this one. He's not just correct, but he almost absolutely correct. And fractional banking is total BS, because banks lend money that they don't have and money that doesn't even exist. But ... to be fair, tell us, Diego, is Zed correct? Are you a complete screw up due to extended drug use and your mother dropped you on your head and you have lost your mind and that's the reason you post what you post ... I, of course, don't think so, but in the interest of establishing facts ... let us know if you have some personal issues behind your economic and political posts. I am not sure about establishing Haiti as another Cuba for gambling purposes, but losing Cuba was a huge loss of face and respect to US, no questions about it. I mean, how hard is it to take over an island ... I know, Russians backed Cuba. Still, I had no idea US was so scared sh..less of the Soviets. Socialism is essentially a system where human being is viewed as important and system revolves around gov't and corporations serving the individual. Capitalism is a system that values cash only, and it is more than willing to exploit the common man for purposes of making rich richer, which could be tolerable if there were good pensions/benefits/salaries (there aren't). But since pure fraud is allowed to exist in a capitalist system, and it's totally legal ... and gov't is not even thinking about doing anything about it .... perhaps countries are better off under socialism, with all the human and civil rights, of course. Yet, something tell me that gov't doesn't mind giving out free civil rights as long as they own you financially. Ultimately, they are after your dollar, your labor, your sweat, and everything you own in exchange for "democracy" (which is really a republic) where you can vote for your own corrupt senator.

 

How would a credit system exist without a fractional reserve system?

 

This was posted here or somewhere some time ago by a clever writer.

Ide like to post this again.


And finally, New Rule: America must stop bragging that it's the greatest country on earth and start acting like it. Now, I know — I know this is uncomfortable for the faith-over-facts crowd, but the greatness of a country can, to a large degree, be measured. Here are some numbers: Infant mortality rate, America ranks 48th in the world; overall health, 72nd; freedom of the press, 44; literacy, 55th. Do you realize there are 12-year-old kids in this country who can't spell the name of the teacher they're having sex with?

Now, America, I will admit, has done many great things: making the New World democratic comes to mind, the Marshall Plan, curing polio, beating Hitler, the deep-fried Twinkie. But what have we done for us lately? We're not the freest country. That would be Holland, where you can smoke hash in church, and Janet Jackson's nipple is on their flag.

And, sadly, we're no longer a country that can get things done, either. Not big things, like building a tunnel under Boston or running a war with competence. We had six years to fix the voting machines. Couldn't get that done. The FBI is just now getting email!

Prop 87 out here in California is about lessening our dependence on oil by using alternative fuels, and Bill Clinton comes on at the end of the ad and says, "If Brazil can do it, America can, too." Excuse me, since when did America have to buck itself up by saying we could catch up to Brazil?! We invented the airplane and the lightbulb. They invented the bikini wax, and now they're ahead?!

In most of the industrialized world, nearly everyone has health care. And hardly anyone doubts evolution. And, yes, having to live amid so many superstitious dimwits is also something that affects quality of life. It's why America isn't going to be the country that gets the inevitable patents in stem cell cures, because Jesus thinks it's too close to cloning!

Oh, and did I mention we owe China a trillion dollars? We owe everybody money. America is a debtor nation to Mexico! We're not on a bridge to the 21st century. We're on a bus to Atlantic City with a roll of quarters.

And this is why it bugs me that so many people talk like it's 1955 and we're still number one in everything. We're not. And I take no glee in saying this, because I love my country, and I wish we were. But when you're number 55 in this category and number 92 in that one, you look a little silly waving the big foam "Number One" finger.

As long as we believe being the greatest country in the world is a birthright, we'll keep coasting on the achievements of earlier generations and we'll keep losing the moral high ground. Because we may not be the biggest or the healthiest or the best educated. But we always did have one thing no other place did. We knew soccer was bulls***.

And...and we also had a little thing called the Bill of Rights. A great nation doesn't torture people or make them disappear without a trial. Bush keeps saying the terrorists hate us for our freedom. And he's working damn hard to see that pretty soon that won't be a problem.

well said Frosty

Good postings guys - the realities of our world!

herewith a little snippet of South African news

Julius Malema the leader / king / god of our ANC youth league is commanding massive local support amongst the youth and the next generation of voters
he is uneducated with a peanut for a brain and has no time for the white man

Beware - South African mines will be nationalized under the future governments
he beats this drum at every opportunity that he can

the gold experts can figure out what that will do to commodities prices

"Ide like to post this again." And post it a third time - it, and it's poster, will still be turds.

 

Not sure what to make of this post, but had a good laugh.

Yeah, I am from a country that experienced the putch and then almost two decades of usanian "democratic capitalism". Oppression, murder, regime change, destruction of dignity and ****** up economy that we are still rebuilding...

Want more? 'Coz I can go on for days about how the usa installed the poofter and then gave us the 'chicago boys' to practice their deranged and degenerated capitalism.

Newly elected president Pinera got rich (he's a billioner nowadays) licking the army boots, pinochet and his family got rich, luksich and his croatian nazist cronnies got rich (these scumbags are perversely rich - officially they sit on 10 billion usa dollars, unoficcially that is euros), the people got thrown into the dungeons, dug alive in holes deep one meter, wide 1/2 m, suffocating and dying horrible death just because they were working class, nothing else.

Thanks uncle sam, but **** your "democratic capitalism" and your "freedom" and your "way of life".

It destroyed ours so bad, we are still recovering when we could have been a rich and developed nation by now.

No, I came out and landed on my feet ready to fight the ************* who want to tell me what I have to do and how I have to live so that they can happily suck my country dry and get richer while I would starve.

I can't wait to see the usa drown. My popcorn is ready. Just the reality show "usa is drowning! get me outta here!" is needed.

 

dam dont remind me ok
Im out of popcorn for the moment

Mark a bit of a more detailed analysis would be beneficial
if you want to be taken seriously break down the article point by point and provide a decent counter argument

I for one am listening to all opinions and trying to see past the attitudes
which we all tend to interject from time to time

any argument that cannot stand debate is probably a pretty weak argument
soooooo
whats your argument with the article posted

cheers
