The CIA did a study a few decades back of what they would do if they were the dictator of North Korea. They all agreed their only real move was to get nuclear armed at any expense. Some nuclear missile experts have been closely watching the progress North Korea is making - they built a life...

Well your'e a lot more likely to find the inked up gangsta's right here in the U.S.A., in Mexico you will typically meet nothing but friendly & humble people. I find multi-ethnic places are a lot more interesting places to live. I can think of nothing more depressing than living in all white...

Anyone trading from a sailboat while in various ports when blue water cruising? That has always appealed to me but have done very little of it myself, only as a crew member on a friends boat. Cruise the world from one exotic destination to the next, sounds like an epic adventure - with swing...

Trump is giving Kim Jong-Un the narrative he wants by his dogmatic war mongering comments that are addressed not just to Kim but to every person in North Korea. We have two ego maniacs, twin brothers from different mothers, with millions of lives depending on the emotions of these two mental...

Once you leave the USA mainland you will probably find you have no desire to ever go back - other than maybe enduring a long overdue visit every blue moon. From my experience in Latin America you really need to be very proficient with the language to live there - even than you will always be...

For most people the winning formula is to save a decent portion of your income as in at least 20% of your gross income and invest/trade wisely as possible. With a bit of luck a person following this could have enough cash inside of about 10 years to fly solo and not ever have to work for anyone...

That's pathetic - No doubt they would not have complained had they made a nice profit. Brokers would be wise to blacklist these dim wits. We all know that only the richest banksters and 1%ers like Trump get bailed out from risky bets that go bad.

Very rare especially for divers that saw it before it attacked, maybe even a first. Divers usually blast them with the bubbles from their oxygen tank to scare them away or tap them on the nose if all else fails. Spear-fishers on Maui, which is Tiger shark central, barely poke them with a blunt...

It's a 2 way street for sure - renters need to do a background check, check references, etc on their 'land lord' before signing a lease since their is no shortage of bad 'land lords' out there not to mention a lot of scandals.

Anyone dumb enough to break the laws and remove tenants illegally with thuggery are guaranteed to lose their ass in court & could end up in jail, at least in the U.S.A.. I once had a drug binging land lord in foreclosure threaten to have his Armenian friends forcefully remove tenants with...
