Okay..Smekuly with all due respect, you must have missed my previous post on this thread. You got off on a tangent of US political candidates and that issue has nothing to do with CR. Please let me know how I should respond in the future, no satire, nothing to cause anyone to think, language, etc. I will make sure I use your criteria when you’re involved in a conversation. Peace man.:roll:
See, you guys…THIS is why we have FINALLY got our plan together and are bailing on this sinking ship once and for all…..We have been TRYING to get our collective arses in gear and make the move for several years now….some of you whom I have talked to a lot over that time will remember….
We are in the process of “Un-encumbering” ourselves with a goal of getting out of Dodge by May or June of 2013….Unfortunately, the way I see it, THAT timeframe may be too late, because this Nation is being dismantled and hurled toward absolute Socialism at an increasingly alarming rate…..By the time we are able to get out, we may not be ALLOWED to leave.
Ron Paul is the only hope this Country has to break this pattern, and run the FED/Rothschilds/Bilderbergers out of here, as Thomas Jefferson once did…..we have to take this nation back, or it will soon resemble Soviet Russia.
We are just as excited and are looking forward more than ever to make the move….LIFE has just intervened and made our desire to move impossible until now…hope to see many of you face-to-face soon!
I would encourage you to remember our Discussion Forum guidelines which you can see at:
Which says:
[b]By popular demand – [url=https://www.welovecostarica.com/members/cfmbb/messages.cfm?threadid=0EADE98D-24E8-5ED2-F1068F81C15093A3]and specifically by smekuly[/url] – we ask that you refrain from straying into U.S. politics except where it directly affects Costa Rica or people living in Costa Rica.
[/b]The private, mafia bank, called the Fed, has and is currently completing the process of destroying the U.S. middle class.
Inflation rates over the past twenty years appear to average over 2% every single year. So why the brouhaha?
I guess the destruction of the US middle class and the dollar will have very little effect on Costa Rica…After all, the colon is not tied to the dollar, is it?
And the collapse of one of the biggest sources of tourism and trade would be of no concern to a completely self sufficient and prosperous Costa Rica, would it?
I suppose Smekley would rather wait to discuss fire safety until sparks form the burning homes around his house start a fire on his roof.

[/quote]You can guess and suppose all you want and you’re free to do so. Of course any educated person knows that the collapse of the U.S. economy would change the world. Not just the US, not just CR, but the entire planet. I ask you, what can coming on this site and getting into arguments about this situation with others do for people who want to know more about Costa Rica and plan to relocate there accomplish? I don’t believe Scott created this site for that purpose. I’m sure there are tons of sites you can easily find to hash out your talking points. Scott has listened and to his credit he cleaned up his site from those issues and arguments. Without attacking you I for one am just curious what do you think your contribution is to the goal of this site? I see you’ve been coming here for 6 years. I’m sure you are welcome here. You’ve said you’re moving here. How long have you said that? What could you possibly contribute to someone seeking information on CR? You don’t live there. If I’m in your shoes I would have acquired all the information I needed to make the decision to live here or not by now. Surely you have that information by now. We live in an information age and information is readily acquired through numerous sources. Your a member of one here. Most people would have said at some point “Okay I have enough information to make the move and come down and rent a casa for a while to see if it is for me”. Is that not a reasonable assumption? I’m not trying to attack you Sprite and you are a free man both in the US and CR. Although I’ve been here a short time I have learned quite a bit in preparation for our move here in two years. We visited for the third time recently. We know where we want to live and we have friends there. We love the country. I’ll just stop there so as not to attack you which is not my goal. You know when I came here I read more than post and I still do that. Even Maravilla and I often disagree, but I seek no confrontation with her. Quite the opposite. She and I have agreed to meet for lunch next time we are down. I look forward to hearing her views and I’m sure we will have a lively debate, but one that I will certainly enjoy. I’m sure we will share a meal and maybe a few Coronas. I think I’ll bring my camcorder and tape it. LOL.
My point is that more time than not when I see your posts here they become argumentative. What’s your point? I hope you understand this and not take it as an attack on you, I just hate to see people here get into pissin battles here that lead to nothing. Peace man..
[quote=”Scott”] “In effect, the Fed has announced a course of action that will steal — there is no better word for it — nearly 10 percent of the value of American’s hard earned savings over the next 4 years.”
If the issue of the dollar and the gold standard had been dealt with correctly in 1972 the value of an ounce of gold would be over $10,000 now rather than the paltry $1700 to $1800 it is and we would not even be having this discussion. 🙄
Clewis, Snekly,
It is curious. Why are civil, controversial discussions so upsetting to you and a few others? I believe in staying on topic here as well and the topic is Costa Rica. But who are you to decide what things in this wide world do NOT pertain to Costa Rica?
Scott and whomever he chooses to assist him will remove remarks and topics which are not appropriate to this theme. Meanwhile, you can whine and protest and pester him about this matter. I am sure he has better things to do but maybe not. Wouldn’t it be easier to just skip the stuff that so terribly distresses you?
Sprite
I already said your right
what else do you want em to say
that I love you to… geeeezz
I think i have finally come to the realization that you just like to hear yourself speak ( metaphorically speaking of course)
why don’t you ask scott to set up a seperate forum called sprite
this way you can just post and answer your own posts and have these vibrant conversations with yourself.
throw up some adsense ads and you may even make a few sheckles

I had started this ONLY to address how this might affect the cost of living of our US members who are living on a fixed income in Costa Rica and it looks like this thread has run it’s course ….
