This is absolutely true. The worst part is that it's widely accepted and welcomed into the country by many people who do not make the connection between much of the violent crime and US sponsorship. I currently live in Guatemala and see the harm that these International Human Rights groups...

The 'war' between facebook and google would really be a war on privacy (if you actually think facebook is private), judging by the article. If Google's dying to get their hands on the personal photos and other information that is posted, facebook loses a huge user base. Who doesn't want the...

You don't understand how it works. The jurisdiction is Guatemala. The foreign party has to get a Guatemalan lawyer and go to court in Guatemala and hey, guess what, nobody gives a rats ass about the US and their fishing expedition for information without any proof. The law firm is only subject...

Andorra is NOT a tax haven. They have signed a TIEA (Tax Information Exchange Agreement) and the OECD now lists absolutely no countries as uncooperative. Tax Havens no longer exist. Hong Kong also has said it will sign one in the very near future. If what you really want to do is have your...

Yes, it's one of the best books I've ever read. I think that the 33 Strategies of War is actually a better book, but you will appreciate it more if you read this first. He has a blog, too (www.powerseductionandwar.com)

Why would a monarchist be on the Ron Paul Forums? I've never been an American citizen that actually wanted a monarchy to be in place. Is this even possible--the very opposite is pounded in our heads from kindergarten.

The thing is, these people were volunteers dying for their own land. Who is somebody else to tell them that this is wrong? This isn't the damn Iraq war we are talking about. Yes, lots of lives were lost, but if somebody wanted to avoid fighting it wasn't like they couldn't disappear. This would...

I agree, the government shouldn't force a religious view on a people or take that standpoint. Using the principles of Christianity that are not at all unique to Christianity--such as do unto others as you would have them do to you, or don't kill--is great, but people deserve religious freedom as...

I would suggest converting your money to other currencies while what you have is still substantial.

This is beginning stages of her transformation into this, I fear:

I very rarely tell anybody to go to college, or to finish college. The books are the same everywhere and it's overwhelmingly a waste of time. If you could cut all the busy work, the bureaucracy, and moronic required classes, you could save time, money, and sanity. I think a lot of people tell...

Most of these schools are up in the north, with the exception of South Carolina and I think one in Arizona. Funny that the list doesn't include schools in L.A., or New York City, or any of the other "inner city" schools that get the bad rep. Also, Chicago--what happened here? More important to...

Yes, the obvious solution to alcoholism is getting rid of gambling casinos. And obviously, banning a good never creates black markets or just increases the demand for such a good. Man, why didn't I study economics in Moscow?

I live in Guatemala and we just saw, over the past 2 months, many protests to overthrow the president, led by the "elite" of the country. Why? Because a guy died and made a video accusing the president of his impending death. What was the proposed solution? Put in the vice-president who was more...

How dare the government! These women were on their way to stardom and now they are dream-crushin'. This is wrong, and these places, if the law won't be changed should be exempt from the idiocy, but if you're 20 years and 6 months old, it's not the end of the world. There are other jobs available...
