Steven Seagal Vows to ‘Bring Hollywood to Serbia’ After Getting His Citizenship

Better Link.

Seagal is a little early for a Trump presidency, isn't he?

that's right!


keep an eye on your mail, I have a package with some american silver on board en route.

Cool, did you make sure to track it?

I wrote a long winded post about it in Ni, long story short, they wanted 35$ to track my 35$, I told em' to *** off, and sent it standard. I sent a manila envelope this time, and hid the cash better, so we'll see.

you'll have to let me know if / when it shows, so if it doesn't I can tell you what silverpeice you missed out on.

Speaking of American silver, I have a nice stock pile of these I was going through and held on to since these are the most valuable ones from 1986, the first year they (The proof ones with case and certificate) came out.



I always find it funny when people decide to sell their gold and silver when prices go down, but it allows people like me to buy it on the even cheaper side. For instance, someone buys like 16 ounces of silver when it was around $20 and ounce, holds on to it for 4 months or whatever, sees that it has dipped down to just below $14 an ounce and decides I better sell it now before it goes down even more. Why take a loss of $6 x 16 = $96? I think people are just too impatient. Like if they don't make money within a few weeks or months, '*** it I'm going to take a huge loss.' Oh well.

Just reminded me of Nik going on and on the other day. Like if you look at prices compared to this time last year or a little over a year, yeah $1200 down to $1070 and $19 down to $13.85, but that's not the entire picture nor how you do it. I think he was looking at the last 5 years though. You have to look back a good ten years minimum and sync it up with the recession cycles (7-9 years). There's also the case for avoiding buying when the price is too high, like $1300 back in 2008 (I think). Supply and demand is a joke nowadays as the demand for silver alone is much more than the supply, yet prices have been going down slightly. Basic economics doesn't determine the spot prices anymore, it's all done via speculators and ETFs.

Rambling over, for now...

Ah I must have missed that, as sometimes the chat in Ni goes from one page for a few days to a page an hour.

Ok, as long as you can't tell looking at it. That's sucks they wanted so much, tracking mail is a must nowadays, especially internationally. I blame the shady post people.

I'm just a history nerd that accidentally got bit by the silver bug for no particular reason. I'm not trying to get rich, quick or otherwise, I just like the old silver coins, plus having a little bullion around in case of whatever never hurt anyone. I have a bunch of the eagles too, they're a neat coin. dude at the coin chop was bragging up / showing me a french goldpiece he had, it was pretty sweet but I've got too many kids to be playing with gold atm.

No doubt.

When I was back in NJ for those 7 months, one my favorite things to do was chat with the guy who took over this coin place from his father, around where I grew up. It's good to see some businesses like that passed down to kids who are interested in the business as well, not just because it's given to them.

I remember one time when I was trying to get some Austrian gold coins and he was arguing with Google on the phone and was trying to cancel some service. The lady on the phone was like "How will customers be able to find you if you don't advertise?" He was like "Listen people have been able to find this place since my father ran it, right now I have a customer in here that I need to help as his business is more important than you trying to continue to swindle me out of $20 a month for some service that has yet to even get my address correct."

I had to calm him down first, but then we had a good laugh about it. Rednecks in NJ get really mad at all this new technology, lol. Especially when it winds up just wasting money.

eww, why?

Who in their right mind goes back to New Jersey? I mean, you escaped that hell hole once, why would anyone go back?

And don't tell me Stockholm Syndrome. There's a reason why it's the festering pool of filth and vermin....

It's where my mom still lives and I keep trying to convince her to move to Wisconsin where most of her family she still likes lives.

Hopefully when she hits retirement age soon, she's 62 now, she'll finally get out of there.

For now I was there in 2014, because it was a place to go for free while I figured out my next move. Also fixed the roof on her house, and some other financial help.

And now it's back to work for me. First assignment writing about the WTO and separate topic, how the ice in the poles affecting by climate change will impact the future for Chinese university students.

I guess the JV debate is over? No highlights.

The 'debate' with Trevor Noah and Rand Paul was more interesting.

Rand Paul Appears on The Daily Show to Debate and Drink Bourbon

Followed. I find this relevant.

Says the loan must be reported.

This "debate" is a snoozer so far.

It is far more entertaining than a feminist and a socialist.

And he did. Your article even said that:

The loan was made under Cruz's name, which he then put the money into his campaign. And reported it. The loan was not made under the campaign's name, but under Cruz's name. Again, what he did is not illegal, and most likely the only way he could have gotten the loan in the first place.

Like I said, small-minded people wouldn't be able to read what really happened. All they would care about is smearing mud around, hoping that like-minded idiots would buy it up.

Feminists do not savagely attack the female victims of sexual assault.

Anyone know what Aman is on about? Anyone care? Nevermind.

Poor Vic, it's like 1998 never happened to him.

Apparently you care or you wouldn't have jumped in with such a defensive post.

Keep telling yourself that.

These Fox guys are really babying Trump, they need to ask him how he would go about installing a Muslim ban, not if he has changed his mind on it. Really? Do they really think he has changed his mind? I think Chaos is right, Rand Paul is the winner tonight.

Actually, wtf is he talking about?

Still wondering how those dumb sailors ended up in Iranian waters, I wonder if the Navy will ever clue us in, I'm sure that briefing went well in the WH.

Still can't decide if I hate Cruz or love Cruz..

I'm a bit more concerned on how they was actually captured.. Haven't looked into it, sounds pretty screwed up though.

I'm sure it wasn't very difficult, even the Iranians can sail a frigate up to two harmless swift boats and tell them to stop or get blown out of the water.
