Fortunately, I am able not to have such great insight like yourself and others that provides a totally Polly Annish interpretation on this mess. Air Ball? I think not. I think speculating Megas's move to be something other than a botched job is hot air.
Ditto to that Serf. So many here keep wanting to drink that Megas Kool Aid. The law suit was a failed attempt to intimidate shares from the share holders. That is speculation on my behalf but it has some traction compared to that Megas did some great and brilliant strategic move to reveal the wrong doers. "Megas Manuever" my butt!
2007 is ticking buy and my hopes are all but dashed. Freddy....make something happen!
Found this link to David Horowtiz ref. to Islam. Its a neat little video.

I never shot one believe it or not. I know the FBI played with the 10 mm and had problems with the recoil spring and slide due to the powerful recoil. I believe that has all been remedied for some years now. I have not seen a terminal ballistics comparison between a .45 cal and a 10 mm. I am guessing the internal and external ballistics are comparable to a .45. I could be totally wrong though. I just dont know.
IMO some of the best 'combat' hand guns are still based upon the .45 caliber 1911. Springfield and Sig have some nice .45 calibers along with Kimber. H&K have some excellent .40 caliber models. Street cannons such as the desert eagle .50 cal. are certainly impressive weapons. Considering that we are talking combat weapon which will be utilized in Close Quarters Battle (CQB) the bigger calibers are somewhat unwieldy. The weight of the .50 Cal, the magazine and ammo itself are to be considered in a combat load. Also if you are covering an area for an extended time you will fatigue much faster.
Firing the bigger caliber handguns with one hand can be a disadvantage for quick accurate follow up shots. You can and will find yourself shooting one handed because you are doing things such as holding flashlights, grasping things, pushing/pulling things before and sometimes during an engagement.
The .45 and .40 caliber handguns dont have devastating terminal ballistics of the .50 caliber but they are more nimble, faster to bring on target (and stay there), and lighter. Usually the outcome is the same whether you shoot someone in the chest area or head with either caliber. It all comes down to what works best for the individual depending upon their mission/threat and skill level. Have a great day.
I hated it but wanted to prove myself as a mountain man! LOL Bruised shoulders kept me from shooting too much and I tried to make every shot count. Shooting a single shot 12 gauge afterwards was cake. It was easy to do. I believe thats what my father wanted.
You too and have a great weekend.
Welcome aboard Art.
I dont think its bad PR. I was hunting with a ten gauge shot gun when I was 10-11. Now that is a butt kicking cannon. Nothing wrong with minors touching firearms if they are supervised when trained on it. I was by myself shooting firearms when I was a kid. My dad taught me how to respect and operate them safely. Should he been arrested? I think not. As for being considered a pet I think you are reaching. Are dairy cows or chickens on a farm pets?
Domesticated hogs can revert to a feral state of tusks and fur within 2-4 weeks once being released into the wild. I dont think any other domesticated creature I know of can change its appearance and mind set in such a sort span of time.
This whole third party/power of attorney authority to pull the plug on someone who can not state they want to die is very precarious and must be scrutinized to the highest degree. If it is not totally clear as to the incapacitated and terminally ills persons wishes, than it should not take place. I am mostly talking about people who still have their faculties. Heck, you can't even get a tatoo if you are drunk anymore. Same thinking applies here too.
You usually dont champion something by NOT bringing attention to yourself. Being famous/notorious gave him the public eye and a platform for his beliefs. What he believed in was against the law so thus he broke the law. I dont know if he liked the notoriety and laterbecame a publicity whore. In the end he lost seven years of his life by being in prison for doing something he believed in. That is a pretty expensive price for fame. I am not saying he was right or wrong. I have mixed feelings about this matter.
You mean like miss a vein or too little dosage?
I am probaly going to get roasted for this. I think Kevorkian is doing nothing wrong. I would like to think if I was terminally ill that I could go some place and end my suffering on MY terms. Besides that scenario there are so many mentally weak minded people that keep our emergency rooms busy year around because of suicide attempts gone wrong or because they are saying they are suicidal. These people are for the most part oxygen thieves IMO. I know that commiting suicide is against Christian beliefs and a immoral act that causes suffering to others. This eats at my soul but after dealing with these idiots for nearly 15 years all I can say is good ridance. I get tired of seeing thousands and thousands of people suffering from some sort of psychological disability and collecting money for doing nothing. They are perfectly healthy but need medication so as not to feel suicidal while they sit home and watch Jerry Springer and vote democrat (hehe). Okay...blast away.
p.s. Just in case you didn't notice...Im just a little bitter;)
Sorry brother! Didnt think this board was alive. My fault. Hope you are well.
Corruption is everywhere no matter what system you are under.
"I'd use that military power-money to clean up things at home not just overseas. Is that socialism - fixing things at home? Probably - that's why it will never happen." Hitler thought the same thing thus he orchestrated the Nationalist Socialist Party. Dont get me wrong. I am not saying you think or feel anything like him. He took advantage of people who feel the same way you do and used military power to 'fix' the problems at home. Private financial institutions are probably have the same amount of corruption as ANY govt. Our system is far from perfect. Do you think these things dont happen in the socialist nations? Of course they do. I dont think you understand what socialism is if you think it means fixing things. Since when has the govt been good at fixing anything? Free enterprise fixes things...not bureacrats in the govt.
That may be true if you visit there IMO. They are neat places and I have visited several of them. Their economies are very small and are burdened with social programs. They all have second or third rate military because they have no money to support one. They have been living under the US security blanket and have been on US military welfare. Government regulation and and socialized medicine eats up most of their their money. The taxes they pay are unbelieveable. They simply can't compete with US not only because of our vast natural resources but because we are still a capitalist society (for the most part) that believes the individual knows how to spend their money than the govt does and the free market.
If you want to see where socialism gets you just look at France where the unemployeed go on strike. We do have socialism here. We live in a country with lots of fat poor people that drive cars and have housing. Do you like your tax money being redistributed to them? What motivates them to progress and better themselves when they know they are only 30 days away from another check? If you give a man a fish he eats for a day (socialism) and if you teach a man to fish he eats the rest of his life (capitalism).
Thats when narcotics peddlers/drug dealers call their suppliers and give them a 'list' of what drugs and how much they need. They then do the transaction with the big boys and they are then considered to have 're-upped' (street slang) for the end of the week. Moody is a UPLIST dealer that hangs carrots from a garrot to strangle share holders with.
I received a letter from E-Trade advising they can not acquire certs for me because BCIT does not have a Transfer Agent. We have been wondering for a long time who our TA is. Too funny. Too busy suing to find a TA to help handle this mess.
That is thee most uninspirational PR that is most likely totally ficticious as well.LOL
I think that could of been done with out suing people for fraud. Follow the bouncing Pino. We will just have to respectfully agree to disagree on his motives. That aside we can both agree as to what happens next will be interesting.
Yes I have it and you are correct in that it was an option. The other if I recall, was showing certs of your shares showing they were not counterfeit. Through either option he would drop the case. All I am saying is that why would either option be on the table if he was allegedly trying to 'smoke out' the real bad guys. Again, he has to know where Pino went with the shares to get a judgement against him. How else could he have won against Pino? Have a good day bud.
Why did he want people to sign a waiver giving up their shares if he knew they were innocent? That was his response to many people inquiries,"sign this waiver and we will drop the suit against you". If he was on some eloborate and shrewdly planned mission to find out who introduced the fake shares into the market why would he want my shares surrendered? Sorry....it was a botched intimidation job/witch hunt/fishing expedition IMO. This whole concept of Megass flushing out the bad guys is bunk. He wanted me and 1272 other peoples shares to go away. Mario Pino introduced the shares into the market. Mario had a judgement against him. Evidence must of been shown how he did it. RIGHT? If so, this whole thing was what I said it was.
Correct...state district court where you can sue your mechanic for crappy work. It was not FEDERAL District Court where you would think a securities fraud case would be more of a proper venue and country wide jurisdiction.
Hahahahahahahahahaha. ROTFLMAO! Same play take two by the velvet liar Frank Moody. Wow, this man is unbelieveable.
It was a botched law suit. How on earth people think this was part of the grand scheme amazes me. Pino already had a judgement against him. Megass must of shown a proponderance of evidence against him. Most likely he showed how Pino introduced the shares into the OPEN market to the court. He most likely knows WHO assisted Pino. Since Pino did not honor the judgement against him, Megass tried to scare the shares from the share holders IMO. Some eloborate plan by Megass? Hardly. TM stirred up a hornets nest of investors who did not slap him on the back and go," Gee Tom, thats really great that you are suing me and accusing me of fraud. Your the best CEO in the whole world". Talk about passing the punch! LOL
His lawyers no doubt informed him of the possibility of counter suits and that investors were networking with each other. Why were the brokerages not named in the law suit? If this was some brilliant and eloborate plan to smoke out the guilty parties why not name them too? IMO its because he knew he could not intimidate them.
You would think Megass, after winning a judgement against Pino, knew who took Pino's shares and introduced them into the open market. That is the guilty party or parties IMO. This was a clumsy and botched attempt to strong arm/intimidate shares from people IMO. Why cant Megass get damages from Pino? Did he skip town? If Pino is on the run because he is wanted, Megass should of gotten Dog The Bounty Hunter to bring him in with the money he used to sue us LOL.
They certainly sound interesting. I dont think OK District Court can touch them though. If he was serious and the charges had any weight he would of went through federal court IMO. This is a cheap intimidation ploy going through a LOCAL district court. Jurisdiction is still not clear but very relevant. All IMO of course.
Maybe he can buy in Pinos shares? LOL He can then hunt that sucker down and deal with him criminally. Pino and whoever introduced the shares to the market for him are the perps IMO.
Just chatted with E-Trade and they advised they are going to try to get certs($40.00 fee) through the company's T/A. I laughed and told them that will be an interesting conversation when they(the T/A) tell E-Trade, "we cant because you have fake shares". The broker replied that will be between them and E-Trade. He also re-stated the common theme of E-Trade.....that the shares are in E-Trades name and that they have custody of the shares. In reference to the suit I am in a holding pattern with an extension agreement with the plaintiffs attorney. I am going to wait for E-trade to come up with the certs first. If they don't I will advise them why E-Trade cant deliver them with written correspondence from E-Trade advising such. Most likely we will then file for dismissal for lack of jurisdiction. If that doesnt work then we will deny all counts and again ask for dismissal. It should pretty much be over after that and Megas can sue E-Trade and ask them where they bought the shares from.
Arrogance and ignorance are a liberals friend. No answers and no solutions to speak of. Why have substance when you can have wind?
No answers....just bluster.
That was a misread and you are correct. When it comes to being 'careless' I am guilty on that count. When it comes to frivilious law suits against innocent people because Pino won't come up with the cash that word applies to TM.
Have not seen it yet. Supposed to be enroute via mail.
The lawyers in OK communicated to my lawyer that if I sign a disclaimer, that they will happily mail me, I will be dropped from the suit. They also advised that if I provide them with proof of bonifide certs they will drop the case. Funny thing is this...they need to provide the proof not me.
I am responding 'Denied' on all counts and for them to show proof. Nothing more than that at this time.
It advises such on the summons.
Sounds like us!
It appears both of them(Darby and Capital Growth) paid money to cover a buy in. Pino, on the other hand, has not followed the settlement agreement. Since Megas can not get Pino to cover the fake shares he is going after us. Funny thing is that Megas GAVE Pino certs that Pino in turn counterfeited. Now Megas is suing us. What a prick.
It makes you think TM has our money. Maybe he intends to use the money to pay for the law suit against us.LOL
Too bizzare. Megas says, "In other words trying to put their liability to you unto the people they
think they bought from". According to his suit you are liable...for committing fraud.
"Your contract is with ameritrade. It is they who are
liable for delivery." Sooooo if they delivered counterfeit shares why are you suing us/me for fraud?
What ever happened to the judgement against Pino? Somebody took my money when I bought my shares. The person who has my money is the one TM should be suing. Wasn't that person Pino? So does TM have my money now? If so now he wants my shares that I dont even know if they are legit or not.
