Crabboy,

How much do you pay for gas? I just tanked up at $1.45 for medium grade unleaded. The most I've ever paid was $1.70 this summer but vacation time is over so demand is down so prices are down. Still dropping here even with the OPEC cut down.

Oil gets more expensive and it's real good for my family and a lot of my friends. My dad lives in Houston so anytime oil prices go up for a long time Houston has a boom. I talked to my old boss there this week and he said he's still blowing and going, designing 3 or 4 houses a week. Before it was the tech guys buying them, now it's the oil guys

And another thing about good business. You guys sell more to us than we do to you, that's fine. We're used to it, we buy more than any other nation on Earth so it's kind of hard not to have a deficit. Guess what? That kinda makes us the costomer, and you know the old saying (you may not with your attitude) "the customer is always right" It doesn't make too much business since to piss of your biggest costomer, ya know? Maybe you don't....

Udie, in order to be a "good customer" you need to be able to pay for your goods.
If noone wants your currency, you are in big, big trouble.

You owe a bank $50,000 and the bank OWNS you.

You owe the bank $5,000,000,000,000 and you OWN the bank.

Think on it a while.

Carbofix do you understand the mechanisms behind international currency valuation and exchange rates?

Honest question.

I can't believe CNN would spread such bald-faced lies!

And feelings toward the Iraqi people, it's not as bad as you think. Actually, -- the Iraqi people are happy that we're there. At least in Kirkuk, where we're at, a lot of people are extremely happen.

Daily we're told by the Iraqi people that live there that "we love you, we are glad you're here, thank you for helping us." So that's a lot of uplifting times there when people tell us that.

He's not fooling anyone! Those of us that never talk to actual Iraqis know the truth!

Down with CNN!! Down with Boosh! Deth to Amreeka!!!

First of all: You are the only person that I have on my ignorelist, but I will answer you anyway.

Honest answer yes.
Honest question back to you: Do you understand how much the war in IRAQ is bleeding your "New" country out and do you understand what this means for your already messed up economics and the domestic problems with education and healthcare?

GRUNHERZ · « **Reply #56 on:** September 27, 2003, 03:27:56 PM »

So I take it that by you changing the subject, you dont understand how exchange rates are determined and are just talking out of your as.

According to your own posts, the US Economy has no effect on Swedens, so what are you worried about? It's our money and our country. We'll flush it down the toilet and Sweden can slide into the Economic Super Power Slot.
