nine inch nails..................you notice how success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan!

there is also a paucity of comments on this thread!

Ctg Bound says on Apr 9, 2008, 08:21:

gringoloid,

I still see nothing to change my prediction from No.5.

I expect others feel the same, so what is the point on commenting?

gringoloid says on Apr 9, 2008, 08:43:

ctg...................the time frame has not been met yet..............by dictionary definition we are not even in a recession and cannot be called a recession until later on in this year.

robi posted the figures for no 5's and a time frame. we're nowhere near that.

as far as I know, i'm permitted to comment in anyway i want on another persons OP as long as i obey the rules. who appointed you moderator?

I also see nothing to change my prediction either; the article supports my position, not yours. I'm recognizing that fact from a prominent news service.

there are going to be a whole lot more articles in the future...........and i'll be commenting on them.

when you're made a moderator then you can censor me.

Ctg Bound says on Apr 9, 2008, 08:53:

gringoloid.

You posted this:

"there is also a paucity of comments on this thread!"

I responded why I expected other people haven't responded, then you get all upset and by starting the time frame hasn't been met yet, which I don't disagree with.

You can post what you like, I could post many posts showing not a lot happening to Colombia from leading financial sources, I expect they are right, so what.

If you don't want people posting on your threads who have the opposite view, don't ask them to post like you just did.

Also if you don't want them to post, you shouldn't put posts with their handles in either.

Get a grip, I know you think the world is against you and has it in for you, but it was a simple comment, nothing else.

gringoloid says on Apr 9, 2008, 09:37:

Yes, there is a paucity of comments, even with only yours from your side. a fact.

your second point: you're actually the one that is upset, you're the one that is trying to censor me............i wish people would post links supporting their opinions so as for me to get my teeth into them.

Quote: "If you don't want people posting on your threads who have the opposite view, don't ask them to post like you just did."

First of all, it's not my thread. Second of all, I never said i don't want people posting or challenging me..........it should be obvious to anyone that I enjoy good debate and ugly debate. if I was to be annoyed, it would be with someone who puts words in my mouth that i never said. i said there was a paucity which means i thought there should be more.

You get grip ctg...........and here is something else you don't know, .......where did i ever say the world is against me?

get a brain ctg.

Ctg Bound says on Apr 9, 2008, 10:23:

gringoloid,

You may not have started the thread, what I am commenting on is your posts in this thread, hence the posting on your thread.

I am not trying to censor you, not sure how you can say that, I said I wasn't commenting and why, rather a simple sentance I posted, maybe you are to dumb to read a simple sentance, BUT I expect you are trying to find a differant meaning in the sentance, which fits in with what I state, you believe the world is against you, I never said you couldn't post anything, again this thread in several posts on it you are indicating that you believe people have it in for you, very interesting.

BASICALLY I believe you think the world is against you from what I read you post and you jumping on a simple post in this thread from me.

As to a brain, we shall see is who is write, I am almost certain you are wrong regarding a deep US recession etc. the proof will be in the numbers won't they, I looked forward to you eating humble pie within a year.

BUT I expect that you will then claim that there is a huge recession but they are covering up, or something along those lines.

gringoloid says on Apr 9, 2008, 11:33:

ctg bound...................maybe you are too dumb to read a simple sentence.
no,,,,,i repeat,,,,,,,,,,,,no, i repeat,,,,,,,,,,,,,no, this is not my thread! Everyone is welcome to challenge anything i say. I've made that very clear, here and elsewhere.

There you go again putting words in my mouth about what i'm going to be saying in a year from now. howabout i put some words in your mouth, moron?

one question: this is your statement: "again this thread in several posts on it you are stating that you believe people have it in for you, very interesting."

this shouldn't be so hard for somone who says they have a brain: "WHERE DO I STATE THAT PEOPLE HAVE IT IN FOR ME?

"WHERE DO I STATE THAT PEOPLE HAVE IT IN FOR ME?

"WHERE DO I STATE THAT PEOPLE HAVE IT IN FOR ME?

Show me those words, asshole. If you can't then you best be retracting that statement or I'll be putting some words that you never said in your mouth. got it?

Ctg Bound says on Apr 9, 2008, 11:59:

gringoloid,

I must have hit a nerve..."WHERE DO I STATE THAT PEOPLE HAVE IT IN FOR ME? "

All I need to do is read your posts, including on this thread, it certainly looks like you think I have it in for you, a typical conspiracy theory person.

gringoloid says on Apr 9, 2008, 14:02:

no, i don't think you have it in for me, i just think you're a dumbass.

you're darn right you hit a nerve and soon i'm going to hit one of your nerves. if you're going to fabricate statements and attribute them to me ............then maybe i'll give you a taste of your own piss and we'll see how you like it.

I've noticed this for quite some time. Knowing what I'd really say,, it would be the U.S. will technically NOT be in recession, I let this ride.

Ha,, didn't happen,, must wait until the second quarter. I'd say the numbers to support an official recession will reflect this fact. Then again,, maybe not,, 90% chance they will support. Mainly because of the political noise,, similar to creating a run on the bank.

gringoloid says on Apr 9, 2008, 15:57:

poco, let me say this............the numbers for the first quarter will come out April 30. and then by dictionary definition, we need 2 quarters in a row............but correct me on that if i'm wrong.

I don't really pay much attention to the official numbers..........i get my numbers on my own.

I don't think anyone here said there was going to be a crash in the first half of this year. so we have a ways to go yet.

gringoloid says on Apr 9, 2008, 16:01:

you really need to go through a summer season in the u.s. for the oil numbers to take their toll. i'm in colombia so i don't see the american price of gasoline right now.

the last time i bought gas in the states, it was $2.60 for premium.

hey, why don't you guys in the states tell us what gas costs now?

Hummm, $3.43 for regular,, what is it now in Colombia,, a little less? about the same?

gringoloid says on Apr 9, 2008, 16:29:

DD, I was going to say this before when you posted this, .............on Monday, I paid 7200 pesos por corriente. (7198).........on Avenida Boyaca. That was higher than anything on that list.

poco says on Apr 9, 2008, 16:29:

Ah,, slightly more,, about 40 cents more at 1800 pesos. Last year it was about the same.

Goes to show that commodity prices are about the same world wide. Think copper wire costs a lot in the U.S., well,, its probably higher in Colombia ,, no good deals there, except labor.

Edit,, 7,200,, probably you didn't get ripped off,, no more than anyone else. I've always thought it strange that Colombians make 1/8 the salary yet pay the same for gas AND those who believe the U.S. is ripping them off,, well,, what can a guy say.

gringoloid says on Apr 9, 2008, 16:39:

Actually, I'm not complaining about this.................in colombia you can have a 4 cylinder stick shift like i have now versus the 8 cylinder premium using mercedes i drove in the states.

it's amazing how far you can go on a tank of gas when the engine is a 4 cylinder.

that's what i like about colombia, baby!

DodgerDogs says on Apr 9, 2008, 17:49:

At least they pump your gas in Colombia , the full serve price in the US is over 4 bucks a gallon.

a Renault 4 is worse than a Chevy sprint.

Ctg Bound says on Apr 12, 2008, 03:47:

gringoloid,

Interesting you don't get your numbers from the official numbers, so what is the point of even starting a thread and asking peoples comments, if you are going to pull numbers off some wacko website you belong to.

Also where are you going to get your oil numbers, the list goes on, from one of your wacko websites?

Also why are you commenting on this thread, as the original post, is a local newspaper isn't it, not a wacko website?

I suspected that you would try and weasel out if the official numbers don't show a large recession, looks like I am being prooved right already and we haven't reached the end of the year yet.

gringoloid, you sound like another PBH nut job, fabricate statements says it all, I definetly hit a nerve, you belong in a nut house, along with the people who frequent the wacko websites you quote regularly.

gringoloid says on Apr 12, 2008, 06:16:

Ctg bound...............let's see who the wacko is and more like who the dumbass is:

How many times have I said i didn't start the thread? All it takes is to go to the top and see MM started it.

Why are you commenting on the thread? and why aren't you addressing the Secretarys comments? Or are you too much of a dumbass to do that?

I suspected you would try and weasel out of the numbers already, Ctg dumbass, as I've been giving general time frames since this started a long time ago with Tinto, Scotty, and man t. you, as a coward will not.

But I forgot ctg coward, you like to put words in my mouth, you won't tell me which figures you say i have wrong, you won't address my points, you haven't addressed the OP's points in the Herald, .....so,'why are you commenting here, dumbass?

Ctg coward, you sound like another PBH nutjob, fabricating statements says it all, i see I hit a nerve ctg coward, you belong in a house for cowards and dumbasses.

Ctg Bound says on Apr 12, 2008, 09:31:

gringoloid aka Mr Wacko,

I was commenting on your post, hence why I put your handle into it, in your post it has my handle, I know some people have difficulty in reading, but I assumed that because you are wrting in English you could understand that if you post somebodys handle they might respond, sorry my mistake.

As I stated before, I expect the there would be limited problems for Colombia and it would just slow down the economy here down slightly, plus there would be limited growth in the US this year in the first half to slightly negative, HENCE why you put me as No.5.

"I still see nothing to change my prediction from No.5., I expect others feel the same, so what is the point on commenting?"

I haven't changed anything, so why should I repeat myself, but as you can't read English very well I just repeated now for you.

But you being a wacko are seeing more in a simple statement than there is. Hence why I believe you are a wack job, when I see your handle I think of the bomber who just died in Equadorian jail.

This thread and your wacko posts here have certainly confirmed that, I suspected it before, but am in little doubt now.

gringoloid says on Apr 12, 2008, 11:31:

coming from you, i take all that as a compliment. as mantequila would say, YAWN

gringoloid says on Apr 12, 2008, 11:48:

you can see that there are smileys on my first comment..............all in fun and nine inch nails thought it just a joke to................

you could have countered the article by saying, many countries in latinamerica have strong currencies, strong exports etc., and that middle of next year, everything should be ok.......................but you didn't do that.

you in fact said, 'gringoloid, why are you commenting?' ....................hmmm.....another words, oh shit, this gringo might expose me for what I am..........gotta shut him up.......................lets see now; are you sure it's not you who is the wacko?

hmmm, delusions...........are you sure you're not seeing things? a person you've never met and you say is like the person who died in an Ecuadoran jail? what in the hell are you talking about...........

first thing you gotta do is to put me on ignore.........................and then i hope you get the help that you need.

Ctg Bound says on Apr 12, 2008, 13:58:

gringoloid aka Mr WACKO,

I see now you are trying to make a joke of it, which is quite fitting as I have thought of you as a bit of a joke person, hence my handle for you.

But look at your first post on this the thread, it has my handle in it, then your next post says that "there is also a paucity of comments on this thread!"

I then make a SIMPLE comment on this using your old handle and you go off on a rant.

Hence why your new handle WACKO.

gringoloid says on Apr 13, 2008, 07:33:

You're the one that went off on a rant Ctg Gibberish..........

it was obviously meant as a joke.........the smileys prove it............

You're welcome to make all the comments you want......

why don't you tell us about medellin; I haven't lived there since 2006..........we could use the information.............just please don't make it gibberish.

Ctg Bound says on Apr 14, 2008, 05:31:

gringoloid AKA MR WACKO,

If you can't read a VERY simple responce to your two posts, without then come out with your over the top responce, you can't helped but being thought of as a WACKO.

I can't help you, I am sure that there is medical help you can get, elsewhere.

By the way I see not smileys, although I don't see what differance that makes to your WACKO statements, just a way of trying to cover up how much of a WACKO you are.

As to Medellin, I stated stay in Bogota, I would prefer the WACKOS stay there, so find your own information on Medellin.

Have a nice day WACKO.

gringoloid says on Apr 14, 2008, 08:03:

ha ha...........more gibberish from Capt Gibberish.............

i always have a nice day when i can have some fun with a pompous englishman; and a gutless one at that.

gringoloid says on Apr 14, 2008, 08:35:

you know you said that you thought of me as a dying prisoner in and Ecuador prison....................I was reading this article and it made me think of you for some reason:

"(26 May 2004, Wolfsberg, Austria) The manager of an apartment house was surprised to find the legs of a corpse sticking out an apartment window. Police entered the apartment and found the deceased man's head soaking in a sink full of hot water.
Apparently the out-of-work Austrian had returned home after a night of drinking and drugs. He decided to slip in through the kitchen window. The window was fixed at the base and tilted out, giving him just enough room to squeeze his head through as far as the sink before he got stuck. While flailing around trying to escape, he turned on the hot water tap.

Police were not sure why he had not turned off the water, pulled the plug, or--perhaps most important--entered through the front door, since they found the keys in his pants pocket. "
