to sleep with 72 virgins, personally I find quite punishing... ROTFLMAO I don't think even Bob Dole could handle that.

First dealing with virgins, and then being transformed into a sex machine forced to perform at least 4 to 5 times a day ...... just f*&ck, without any feelings, <GGG>....... ..... I can tell you my preferences are for a monogamous life :) ..... ........ no she is not watching over my shoulder <GGGG>) >>> LOL, but she may read it though. <g> Virgin's are no fun anyway. After the first half dozen, you'd be ready to become a monk.

Corporate America's "One-Time Losses" or "Could we interest you in a condo in Afghanistan?" When will people wake up and call a spade a spade? How can these corporations keep using "one-time" losses in order to "make" their numbers? It's beyond belief -- it's downright fraudulent! Is there not ONE honest, well-known financial personality that has the guts to say what is going on before people who simply "trust" their money managers lose ALL their money? If these were "one-time" losses, why do these companies have them EACH and EVERY Quarter? Motorola had a "one-time" loss (WHICH WAS IGNORED -- SINCE IT WAS ONE-TIME, don't you know) in the 4th quarter of 1999 of $350+ million. So then, in the 1st quarter of 2000, they shouldn't have any, right? Wrong. They had another "one-time" loss of 39 million. Surely no more in the 2nd quarter of 2000? Sorry. Another "one-time" loss of $355 million! But they became honest in the 3rd quarter of 2000? Nope. "One-time" loss of $144 million. Well, the 4th quarter of 2000 was the turn-around? Not exactly. $68 million "one-time" loss. New Year. Honesty abounds now. Hardly. 1st quarter of 2001 -- $279 million "one-time" loss. 2nd quarter of 2001 -- getting smaller at least? Guess again. $496 million "one-time" loss! This week we get to see dozens and dozens of these crooks spit out crooked numbers. Fantasy land. And while we now have the terrorists problems, higher unemployment, retail sales slipping, companies going bankrupt, people defaulting on debt, etc. etc. etc., you would THINK that the market would be somewhat LESS of a value today than it was BEFORE the attacks???? People would place a smaller value on the market now??? Guess again. The S & P PE ratio average hit something like 35 or 36 last week -- the highest in the HISTORY of the markets! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? I was thinking that America might be brought to its knees by terrorists, but now I am beginning to think that the fraud and greed in these markets could cripple the entire country without any terrorist activity. CNBC and the entire media is so controlled, that it is sickening. Oh well, on with the show! I remain, SOROS

Haim; RE >>Wahhabi Sect<< I'm not positive but that name rings a bell. I saw one of the leaders of the "welfare program" giving a recent interview. It explined a lot of the whys that the desire to be a "shahead" "susiside bomber" was so popular. The network is very generious to the Family of afterwards..His wife and any children are not just treated with respect & honored they are cared for, in a style taht none of the common people could remotly hope to obtain by any other way. The key to keeping it going is the reward system the network doles out to the myrters family. The women will bust their ass to marry and have kids by someone in the "resistace" who they feel will become a "shehead" and leave them well off and taken care of for life. The male children are made aware of how "respected" the memory of their father is and they start seeking the same destiny as soon as they can read or write. The whole interview was both sickening and scary to watch. Seeing how this works in a system that locks so many people in absolute poverty makes it easy to understand. I may have got the name wrong but I'm almost sure it is the "Wahhabi" network that has the job of doleing out the money and rewards ; & that keeps a parade of of thoes seeking to become human bombs making applications. ---------------------- One of thoes human bombs can do as much damage as a cruse missel , and it's a lot cheaper to support 20 "shahead" families for life & in what they consider luxery, than to it is to build a single cruse missel. We got a real problem !! Jim
