5 December 2009

DOHA - Qatar’s inflation will keep well below last year’s record peak in 2009 despite breakneck economic growth and interest rates should remain stable, Central Bank deputy governor Shaikh Fahad bin Faisal Al Thani said.

Inflation has slowed sharply in the Arab Gulf after oil and property prices plunged. Qatar’s economy enjoyed strong growth rates, unlike the rest of the Gulf, as the world’s top natural gas exporter kept its oil and gas output 
intact.

“Inflationary pressures in Qatar are also expected to be lower as demand pressures are low,” Shaikh Fahad said on Thursday in an e-mailed response to Reuters’ questions.

Federal Reserve of America a private bank, how many people here know that the fed is as federal as the federal express and basically a private bank that prints dollars and loans it to the american people at a certain interest rate ?

That the income tax that is paid by the american people is actually not for the services they get but goes towards paying the national debt to the Fed.

And that in reality the income tax that is levied on the common american is illegal and according to the american constitution you dont have to pay any income tax.

Dont believe, here is a good documentary by aron russu

Blue Chip, White Cotton: What Underwear Says About the Economy
----------
For one answer to the nation's most pressing economic question -- when will the recession end? -- just take a peek inside the American man's underwear drawer.

There may be some new pairs there, judging by recent reports from retailers and analysts, and that could mean better days ahead for everyone.

Here's the theory, briefly: Sales of men's underwear typically are stable because they rank as a necessity. But during times of severe financial strain, men will try to stretch the time between buying new pairs, causing underwear sales to dip.

"It's a prolonged purchase," said Marshal Cohen, senior analyst with the consumer research firm NPD Group. "It's like trying to drive your car an extra 10,000 miles."

Seriously, What is wrong with men in Qatar????? (and let me clarify when I ask this I'm not asking a specific nationality, but acorss the board, men from every background!) Why are so many of you a bunch of crazy nutters with absolutely NO social skills to speak of???

So yesterday, I'm at this work thing with people from across my company, and as part of it we have to go and introduce ourselves to 3 people that we've never met before. (Now needless to say, out of the 30 odd people in the room there were 3 women and I knew all 3 of them and worked with them all the time so I wasn't allowed to introduce myself to them).

A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home. He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:
'Dear Lord:
I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife
merely stays at home.
I want her to know what I go through.
So, please allow her body to switch with mine for a day.
Amen!'
God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.
The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman.
He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate,
Awakened the kids,
Set out their school clothes,
Fed them breakfast,
Packed their lunches,
Drove them to school,
Came home and picked up the dry cleaning,
Took it to the cleaners
And stopped at the bank to make a deposit,
Went grocery shopping,
Then drove home to put away the groceries,
