TROPHY CASE

Hawaii Verifies Obama Birth Records Yet Again - This time, to Arizona by mollymulein AnythingGoesNews

[–]jjrs 0 points1 point ago

Are you trying to use more news sources I've never heard of?

You've never heard of right-wing nut-job conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi? I figured the "news" his people are responsible for was better known than that.

Believing that scumbag is an American Citizen is the real fucking conspiracy theory. Fucking little bitch.

Thanks. Good to see you become shrill and unhinged about this ;)

Just out of curiosity, given that he's clearly entitled to American citizenship due to the nationality of his mother, why do you even give a shit where he happened to be born? I'm guessing you'll say something like it shows he "lied", and spin it off into an abstract moral issue of some kind. But what actual difference does it make to you?

Their conversation was praising the fact that Obama had been elected President, the Fraud of the Ambassador was congratulating the United States and spoke of the Kenyan people as being proud that a Kenyan was elected President. His birthplace was to be a historic site.

So basically, you're saying that a comedy morning radio show insinuated Obama was born in Kenya, and the ambassdor, whose English appears to be spotty at best, mumbled something that generally came across as affirmative before going on about Obama's identically-named father and paternal grandparents?

I notice the fraud of an Ambassador has also said that wasn't his intention at all, and completely denied that Obama was born in Kenya.

And let me guess...you unquestioningly swallow his credentials...and simultaneously reject his denial of what you're saying as a dirty lie from someone who can't be trusted?

You can reach those moon landing guys at the same address as the guys who orchestrated Obama's fake citizenship all those years ago. And you can find where they are easily seeing as they so totally exist, right?

I will be sure to write to Peter Ogego and tell him that he is a fraud and is not the Ambassador to Kenya as said so by a fellow redditor.

Yes, please do. While you're at it, please be sure to write to the President of the United States and tell him that he's a fraud as said so by yet another guy from reddit, a guy from Kenya and a radio show, too. Also include a CC to the Zionist conspiracists and the guys that faked the moon landing.

Maybe you're right. Why groundlessly demand to see credentials proving that he really is who he says he is, when we can just happily accept his authenticity at face value? I see no reason for documented proof of his identity.

...wait a second...doesn't that completely contradict your argument as to why we need to see obama's birth certificate?

On a serious note- yes, I am saying he's a fraud. He isn't the "ambassador of Kenya", and neither you nor he can produce credible evidence that he is.

Are you saying the Kenyan Ambassador didn't make those comments, and that man on the tape is a fraud?

Yes. I demand to see his birth certificate.

Also don’t believe anyone that says I have sex with animals.  And if there’s a photo of me doing it with an animal - I’m not saying one exists, I’m just saying, if one surfaces - it’s a fake.  Look at the shadow.  Why would it be in front of the giraffe if the sun is behind the jeep?

This is the kind of thing that makes me remember why I'm going to miss him so much as a writer.

Cops, Witnesses Back Up George Zimmerman's Version - ABC News by ethicalkingin news

[–]jjrs 0 points1 point ago

If true, yet another example of how the law in question is completely and totally insane.

Do you have a link to this specific language? The writers of the law specifically said it wasn't intended to protect someone in Zimmerman's situation, so apparently even they don't agree with that interpretation.

Japanese cola claims to restrict the body's ability to absorb fat when eating by paburonin japan

[–]jjrs 0 points1 point ago

The special ingredient had better be pretty amazing, because i dont see how else they can justify charging more than brand-name cola. As far as taste goes I think it's pretty second rate compared to coke or Pepsi. They did a good job making it taste sweet with 0 calories, but that's about all it's got going for it.

So to recap: Zimmerman was most certainly losing the fight with his pursuant when he shot him.

Now we just have to determine who started it- The pursuer, or the pursuant.

BOJ Failed to Draw Enough Offers in Debt Purchase - Bloomberg by emannigolin Economics

[–]jjrs 0 points1 point ago

I was assuming they would only offer to buy bonds purchased before a given date that had higher yields, or say make the offer after an auction and then close it before they're available again. But yeah if you could just buy them and resell immediately that would be ridiculous.g

[–]jjrs 0 points1 point ago

No, it's an effective negative interest rate because the BoJ would be offering them more than they're worth just to take them off their hands, meaning they'd be losing money by holding onto them. But if a private citizen bought bonds they would still see interest on them (albeit very little).

I think you're misunderstanding lorpius_prime's comment. His interpretation seems to be entirely congruent with your own. He's referring to the "failure" of trying to buy the bonds back.

? How does this news support his argument that Japan can't sustain it's debt? This article is about how they can't stop people from buying their debt even if they try.

Sorry if you were being sarcastic, but it's really hard to tell with some people.

And at the same time keep the rates reasonably high for private buyers (who they wouldn't be offering buyouts to). Good way to keep rates two-tiered.

Japanese cola claims to restrict the body's ability to absorb fat when eating by paburonin japan

[–]jjrs 1 point2 points ago

I could be wrong, but I'm 90% sure that this is the "indigestible dextrine" they're talking about. It was recently developed by a Japanese company, and its being promoted for use in all kinds of things.

It's basically just dietary fiber, which is good for your digestion and controlling your blood sugar level. But food scientists (particularly diet cola makers) geek out over this particular type because:

Fibersol-2 aids in the performance of various high-intensity sweeteners making them more sugar-like in sweetness, flavor and mouth-feel. Fibersol-2 also gives body if it is added into watery beverages. One of the most important characteristics is slower fermentation profile, due to its molecular weight distributions, therefore, it does not cause flatulence problem.

...so if they use it as an additive you get sweeter-tasting, more full-bodied diet coke + you won't fart as much basically.

This appears to be the controversial health benefit in question-

Interestingly a long-term administration study shows reduction of accumulated visceral fat.

I take this same dextrine as a health food supplement because I heard it helps with coffee heartburn. As far as empirical evidence goes the jury is still out on whether or not it works (The EU Food commission seems unimpressed by many of the health benefit claims, for example), but coincidentally or not I seem to have lose weight since I started taking it.

No offense, I believe you. I'm just explaining why there's a lot of negative reaction despite the interesting topic.

BOJ Failed to Draw Enough Offers in Debt Purchase - Bloomberg by emannigolin Economics

[–]jjrs 1 point2 points ago

That's actually a pretty good idea in strictly economic terms, but there's a political problem: the Japanese government has an enormous debt, and even now runs annual deficits of half a trillion dollars. The government relies on those companies to finance it at those low interest rates.

If the BoJ was the exclusive buyer of government bonds, it would eventually erode confidence in the system. So turning private industry away completely could be dangerous. And in fact that's the warning the governor of the BoJ is giving even as he loosens monetary policy for now.

Perhaps they could say, offer a lower interest for companies than individuals. But the problem with that is its already so low it can't go down much further.

TIL That Snoop Dog sold Cameron Diaz weed in high school by Junteld99in todayilearned

Well in this case, their source is Cameron Diaz. And I've read her brag the same thing elsewhere.

Even if she's lying about buying weed from him, Snoop would probably go along with it.

I'm a Spaniard. Should I take out my money from banks? I was about to buy a new flat in Barcelona, with my fathers' help, is that a good think to do right now? by illbeinpainandiknowiin Economics

[–]jjrs 0 points1 point ago

What about bonds from Canada, Australia or New Zealand? Not the first countries to come to mind, but definitely worth a look.

They're politically stable, lots of potential for growth in GDP, lots of natural resources that will become more valuable over time, and best of all have relatively low levels of debt-to-GDP (or at least Australia and NZ do). Only thing I worry about is inflation in Australia.

[–]jjrs -1 points0 points ago

Hell, while they're trying to get liquidity into the system anyway, why don't they just offer the financial institutions even more money for the bonds until they feel the trade is worth their while? That might cause inflation of course, but their goal right now is a higher inflation rate anyway.
