Jody,WandaFuca,
these are interesting. Gas in 1979 dropped below $1.00
per gallon.
I purchased Putnam New Opportunity Funds at $19.00
NAV(Net Asset Value)per share in the 90's. I saw they
were the same about a year ago. This fund out performed
S&P for years.
Research Questions:
1. Have you researched per_se Van Guard SP Index 500 share
prices just as above?
2. Why do individual investments recover faster than mutual
funds (Annuties purchase mutual funds.)?
My liberal statement, statistics don't lie however liars use statistics.
My shares of choice. $36,000.00 a share in the 90's.

War is inevitable; War will always be with us because young men love it and old men love it in them.
War yields the human judgement of what is right to the provence of impartial and irrational violence.
... and even when war defends and protects us it remains the stuff of tragedy.
Your thread is a sad celebration.

Yeah, no body kicks ass like the US of A, no doubt about it. Too bad these weren't the guys who attacked us. Oh well, maybe next time, but at least they're Arab. Woohoo! U!S!A! U!S!A! U!S!A! Jesus would be so proud!

first of all,i am not iraqian ,i just want to tell you my opinion:
wake up guys,its not the truth
do u think U.S.A soldiers are heroes because they kill civillians ?!!!!
civillians tried to defense and protect their home,
they are not terrorists,they are the iraqian resistance fighters,
they dont have satellites, F16,F22,tanks o the best weapons like america.
they just have some guns and bombs.
you say "where is allah"
allah gave them strength,great determination,helped them to beat their enemy and they already won,every body knows that U.S.A lost the war and now its getting out of iraq .
"where is allah"
u dont know any thing about allah ,
allah made them win,allah helped farmers and civillians to destroy their enemy in iraq or aphganistan,
allah made egypt beat israele in 1973 war,when U.S.A gave israele the best weapons,but egyptian main weapon was the help of allah and they won.
so dont talk about something which u dont know any thing about.
finally,u should know that allah ordered muslims not to harm a civillian,women,child of the enemy for nothing and not to kill animal or cut a tree of the enemy for no thing,
i am sad for what happends to U.S.A soldiers i saw some pictures on ariabian site and it wasnt good :
http://www.4flying.com/showthread.php?t=56225
i hope u.s.a will bring those soldiers back to their home.

"egypt lost in 1973" ???????!!!!
sorry man,thats not right,egypt took all sinai back,only 6 hours and most of israelian forces were destroyed,
israel had the best Fortificationsian on suez canal (by help of america )but israelian sildiers were running like rats from egyptian soldiers,
egypt could end israele but USA get her ass in ,egypt beat israele but it wasnt ready to beat america too so egyot stopped
i will tell u a true story of a real hero:
he was a soldier before 1973 and he saw israelian officer far away cleaning his shoes with egypian flag (when israele had sinai)so that soldier decided to make an oberation ,he started trainig and some day he started and went into israelian area,he ran 12 killometres forward ,he found a jeep car so he hid and attacked when it came near him then he found a bus fall of soldiers ..................
i dont know the details but by the end 24 iraelian soldiers were killed but that soldier went into jail(preson)cus he didnt follow ordars and did it with no permission.
and u say egypt didnt win .
u dont know any thing -_-
y dont know real heroes
u can search on google about 1973 war and u will find information
finally,i dont know why do u hate arabians and muslims !!!!!,i know some of them and they are not bad at all

Well tTt and Fattrad, Nobody "won".
But tTt, you're more incorrect than Fatty is.
The war had far-reaching implications for many nations. The Arab World, which had been humiliated by the lopsided rout of the Egyptian-Syrian-Jordanian alliance during the Six-Day War, felt psychologically vindicated by successes early in the conflict. In Israel, despite impressive operational and tactical achievements on the battlefield, the war effectively ended the sense of invincibility and complacency. The war also challenged many American assumptions and it pursued newfound efforts at mediation and peacemaking. These changes combined paved the way for the subsequent peace process. The Camp David Accords that followed brought the return of the Sinai to Egypt and normalized relations—the first peaceful recognition of Israel by an Arab country. Egypt continued its drift away from the Soviet Union and left the Soviet sphere entirely
tTt, I have no hate for Arabs. I lived in KSA for four years and know many progressive thinking Arabs. Are you progressive? Or do you want Islam to rule the world? What's your basic world view?

tTt, is an obvious propagandist troll...
Israel could have wiped those schmucks off the map, but they chose restraint. They disabled the country and that was enough.
Put your own spin on it if you must, but Israel won and allowed an Egyptian retreat without decimating them...

I missed this the first time around. That mortar firing pic in the OP is f*#king awesome.
*edit*
Oh man I just read the Jody post telling people to "quit being so sensitive." That's almost as good.

Minerals,
Looks like you have exposed the true "weapons of mass destruction", "we have met the enemy and he is us".
Bluering . . . "Patriotism is the last refuge to which a scoundrel clings".
There is nothing good that can come out of your distorted, insane, perverted, propagandized, twisted and weaponized visions of good and evil, right and wrong.

Cragman,
Most of us are in fact descedants of European immigrants.
Far be it from me to impose what language is spoken upon anyone.
I had never seen the original post to this thread and when I did just today I could not help but speak out against the glamorization of death and destruction in the name of justice and truth. Just because it is the "American" way does not make it right. Just look at the sorry state this country is in as a result of such ignorance.

Cragman,
I am not trying to dis on the United States . . . your suggestion of going to another country in order to see how good we have it here is tired and unoriginal, come up with another insight. I think we have squandered opportunities that could have made this country much greater than it is. Our role as aggressor and arms dealer has done little to promote a healthy future for ourselves and our children and has played a large role in the disastrous results we are living with today.

Cragman,
You got me all wrong. The dream is turning into a nightmare. I am grateful for everything that I have and for those who have sacrificed everything to allow this, including their lives. The problem is that this too has been used as a distortion in order to promote the unhealthy greed and unscrupulous self interest of the very few. Many have died in vain for the lies perpetrated under the guise of nationalism.
