I think that's madmat's slot - stingleword accepted him into the campaign, but probably forgot to edit the OP.

I wish I could find this article again.  I think it was shortly before the return to Iraq in 2003 and was a comparison of what money spent on war could do compared to what could be done when the same amount of money was spent on medicine and aid to impoverished regions.  I think the dollar amount used was something like $200B which we know is far less than what Iraq cost but at the time of the article it was an estimate based on a more limited engagement and not a full fledged occupation for a number of years like we ended up having.

Anyhow and obviously, there are far more advantages to spending this type of money in humanitarian efforts.  Iraq in 2003 was bad timing.  Should have done the job completely and correctly back in the 90's.

Here's an article citing the $200B estimate pre-invasion: http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/stories/s692921.htm

But it's still not the article I'm looking for.  If I find it, I'll post it.  It's a really good argument for the benefits of investing in humanitarian missions compared to war.

I mostly agree with the main idea in your post: spending that money in humanitarian missions, of one variety or another, would have had far better returns for most people involved - except for the war profiteers, that is.

But I'm not sure you and the people in government agree on what a "complete and correct job" on Iraq would be; remember that up to the first war in Iraq, Saddam was strongly supported by the US - weapons, technology, diplomatic cover, and so on. In other words, while he was doing what he was told, he was doing a good job - never mind all the atrocities, invasion of Iran, use of chemical weapons (conveniently provided by the West), and such. So, for the government, a "complete job" would likely mean, finding someone else to rule the country, who would do what he was told to, and not disobey orders. Tongue

I live just outside of Dearborn, MI. So, don't tell me about being calm or whatever. However, the ones I've seen and the bunch my bro just got married to are harmless. Cheer up, most of them are good but they really don't deal with nor have any clue about their overseas downfalls.

Not quite the same thing as  Islamberg, Hancock New York

Is Faux News at it again? Cheesy

Let me guess, that is the US equivalent of the "no-go zones" in Europe they've been talking about in the channel?
1949  Other / Off-topic / Re: Breaching Area 51 on: January 19, 2015, 06:12:31 AM
This might be meaningless to those outside of American but when you consider what goes on or is alleged to go on there and what the penalties are for stepping over the line, I think it's pretty intriguing actually. It's a 12 min clip of some dudes on a spring break of sorts to Vegas when they decide to get up close and personal. They happen upon some elder ladies that are lost but were looking for the gate.. You'll have to watch to see what happens next and then offer some thoughts as to what you think happened if anything. I've watched quite a few times in the past, definitely a good short watch especially if you have any sort of knowledge on the place.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_Nt0jgGNek

That was unexpected - I imagined they would be the ones breaching Area 51, not the grannies. Cheesy

Anyway, I doubt much goes on there, other than perhaps research and development of new aircraft - and maybe not even that anymore. And to be honest, I was a bit surprised at the level of security; I imagine the main gate is still quite far from the actual base, but still, by the end of the video they still hadn't caught up with the intruders?

EDIT: this story reminds me of the one about the nun and two priests, all of which between 60 and 82 years of age, who were jailed for breaking into a naval base: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1371301/Jail-elderly-priests-nun-breaking-navy-base-protest-nuclear-weapons.html.

I know, haha  Cheesy Cheesy
But the OP need to know that no-one is going to buy an account without knowing their current status  Wink If he/she says the nickname of that account people is going to send negative trust feedback so that deal is quite "impossible".

Anyway, good luck!

I suppose using escrow would be the way to go in these circumstances; ask the escrow to check for trust, loans due, signs of it being a hacked account, and any other relevant issues.

[...]Early on people in EU supported the war, because it was a retaliation. [...]

I don't think people in Europe ever supported the war in Iraq, at least considering poll results from Gallup International and others. In fact, public opinion in Europe was consistently against the war, even if it received the support from the UN - which it never did.

See for example this article from the BBC in February, 2003: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/2747175.stm.

From Portugal to Russia, opinion surveys suggest that without a further UN resolution, most Europeans are overwhelmingly against war - and even a second resolution would not convince many of them.

In Germany, central to Europe's anti-war bloc, an opinion poll this week makes it look almost as if the Germans now see the US - not Iraq - as the main threat to world peace.

There are different sites online that offers short-courses for coding and any other types of computer-related work. codeacademy is a good example of these sites. There are various other sites that offers this kind of services, too. And the plus side is, most of them offers it for free.

Thanks mate dothebeats, i will do it but not free because i need a certificate which these free sites dont give.

Another great site for learning online is Coursera (https://www.coursera.org): they offer free courses, some of them self-paced, others with instructors and students you can interact with, and they also give out certificates for a fee. I'm not sure these online certificates have that much impact on potential employers, but if you're planning to work online anyway, a good portfolio is probably far more important.

1955  Other / Archival / Re: What would a Sr.Member with positive trust sell for? on: January 18, 2015, 08:39:06 AM
Account selling is bad practice in my book! Usually ends up involved in some scam or another.
As mentioned above I believe that most account trades are done for signature deals.  [...]

Perhaps so; but the vast majority of signature campaigns don't require you to have positive trust - in fact, I've only ever seen one so far that required it. Yet, the OP is promoting his account specifically on the base that it has positive trust, and seeking a higher price because of this. The way I see it, whomever is willing to pay for this extra will either resell it for profit, or use it to scam - a regular, cheaper Senior Member account would do well enough for a signature campaign.

OP, please reconsider selling this account.
1956  Other / Off-topic / Re: What we've learnt today. on: January 18, 2015, 02:49:04 AM
I've learned the difference between learnt and learned. Learnt = past tense. Learned = past perfect.

Source:
https://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070317112122AATO9XB

I guess if you want to be grammar and language purist it is good information. But I was under the impression that these words have identical meaning. And there is no 'times' difference between them really.

I am also under the impression that they are alternative forms for the past tense and past perfect of the verb "learn" - as the users in the link fearlesscat10 provided go on to state, "learnt" seems to be the form most common outside North America, and "learned" the most common within. So, I believe it is correct to say either "today I have learned" or "today I have learnt", for example.

1957  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do Atlantis really exist? on: January 18, 2015, 12:52:54 AM
I found this, criteria for the search of Atlantis.

[...]
- Atlantis was larger than Libya and Asia combined.
[...]

I don't think any place on earth met these criteria.

I agree; I believe Atlantis was either a reference to the Sea Peoples, as Schleicher mentioned, or intended as a cautionary tale, closer to Elwar's point.

But I would just like to point out that the idea of "Atlantis [being] larger than Libya and Asia combined" is a bit misleading: Asia here probably just refers to Asia Minor, Anatolia; on the other hand, Libya here likely corresponds to a good portion of the northwestern edge of Africa - so, Atlantis was perhaps meant to be about the size of Greenland, or a bit larger.

I was under the impression that Skrill and especially Neteller are very very difficult to reverse?

I've never had to deal with a transaction being reversed with either of these 2 methods, but I have the exact opposite idea; they are little or no better than PayPal in that respect.

Further, neither of those services likes Bitcoin, or its users dealing in Bitcoin trades, and will suspend accounts caught doing so:

Criticism

Moneybookers Terms of Use agreements states "The Company at its sole discretion, reserves the right to close an account of any Customer at any time for any or no reason"[1]. There have been reports of those trading bitcoins for Moneybookers finding their accounts terminated.
