    Clewis

    its must be oxygen deprivation or something because I have no idea what you meant by your statement??:shock::shock:

    [quote=”clewis”][quote=”smekuly”]Your right Maravilla

    Ron paul SHOULD absolutly be the president of the United States

    BUT he will not win

    he does NOT fit the cosmetic look of a president and his age is an issue

    I think he may be the last honest man in politics

    oh well.. truthfully whoever wins does NOT matter since aside form the entertainment value of watching these morons. they have no effect on me.

    lets see how many changes happen here in costa rica

    love your stats :D:D:D

    its comparing apples to oranges my friend

    your using stats as if we all are to assume they are valid when you darn well know.. each country has its own way of accumulating and storing information. and the reliability of each country would have to come to question.

    its very much like the ICT tourist stats and how they can be manipulated to say whatever they want it to say :D:D:D:D:D:D

    so stats and comparisons like this are just for entertainment purposes.

    here is one fact

    I just purchased my very own 12 gauge shot gun. and made some modifications to be able to handle 9 rounds plus 1 in the chamber :):):):)

    everyone has different opinions which makes the world go around

    I opted out of social security 2o years ago and do not plan or want or depend on any goverment benefit.

    I plan my life in a way where I will be pretty good for the next 3o years I am 50 now. and I continue to be productive via businesses and revenue streams that I create.

    in the event scott gives me a heart attack :D:D then my family will be cared for.

    life is indeed a grand adventure

    deeeeep down you know ron paul is truly the only hope to reclaim america. 8)8)8)8)

    Mr Obama is a super intelligent man and he knows how to play the crowd.

    when he communicates with the masses he speaks in that home grown blackman I’m one of you guys type of talking and he is convincing only to the blind masses.

    its a great quality and I admire that skill set

    Will Smith who one of my favorite actors also has this gift

    he can rap.. sing get jiggy wig it.. and get down with the homies

    and then he can flip to a articulate educated man when he speaks to the anglos” ( metaphorically speaking) thus reasoning to 2 completely different audiences.

    I think its time for me to get jiggy with it

    can anyone else chime in :D:D

    this does NOT matter

    why??

    because most of the people in the U.S. are asleep and walking around in this zombie like trance

    and the few people that are indeed awake and has clarity and purpose

    are already leaving the U.S.

    it’s sad really and I am slightly peeved.

    I am waiting for the elections to see if the American public is so zombied out that they re elect obama mama again..

    if they do I will pay my $500 bucks and denounce my citizenship and never look back.

    long live the Fed :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    I made a few mistakes many times with bringing stuff in. so I understand completely. :D:D

    no here is the way to use aerocasillas.. or jetbox etc

    just use them to get you a valid physical miami presence you will use this address for business. this way you can open up a bank account and have them use this address BUT disable the snail mail feature and have your statements delivered electronically.

    by the way.. set up an LLC in the states with a business name. you might as well enjoy the same corporate perks as the big guys do.

    then buy a magic jack plus.. and get a miami phone number so you can set up a paypal business account. this way you have a way to get paid for your services.

    then you get a paypal business debit card this way you can actually spend the money your new business generates. with the paypal debit its actually a mastercard so you can use this as a mastercard at any ATM if you need cash or just use it to pay for goods and services.

    then get a high speed connection.. [b]SUPER IMPORTANT[/b] I would suggest at least 3 to 4 meg download and 768 upload. the internet high speed connection is your focal point. so you cannot skimp here as everything you do will be predicated on a good connection. the money you save with dropping amnet cable or cabletica TV will help you with this.

    then use a proxy service and use Miami so that when you surf the web it looks like your surfing from a miami physical address.

    a nice perk is that you can watch all the online services.

    hulu.com
    amazon on demand
    crackle.com
    cbs.com

    etc etc

    I don’t pay for cable which would have cost me 18000 colones.. now I get to watch what I want when I want with no or limited commercial interruption. I hate watching cable here as commercials overwhelm the content.

    so now you have a virtual business infrastructure where you can start an online business and no one will ever know you are in costa rica. 😀

    you can go out and make money and all the while you can manage this little empire from your laptop.

    you can speak with clients on the phone and they think your office is in miami florida..

    you can operate totally online and make $5000- $50,000 a month and up the sky is the limit..

    just do some dilligence and look at your passions and find something that you will enjoy doing and it will not seem like work. 😀

    now you just need to do it

    here is one of my favorite speeches of all time

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2uFH0NCMY4

    hope this helps someone

    stevie

    PS. btw.. this is what we need in america today.. people that can just do it.. no more talk

    there are many ways of monetizing revenue online. its just a matter of researching one that interests you.

    you will have to invest some time and do your own diligence to find something that floats your boat

    point is there is no reason why anyone should ever NOT do online business.

    internet here is getting better and better. so all you need is a high speed connection and create your virtual office.

    set up a aerocasillas address for your U.S. presence and get to work

    make sure you keep all your monies in the U.S. and just make sure you keep only enough for 3 months living expenses at a time.

    then you can walk around and buy frsh fruits and veggies and mingle with the locals and sing pura vida all of the time

    😀

    as a person that has 10 years experience of operating retail business here.

    which included a bar and various internet cafes and bed and breakfast etc

    all i can say is this

    the quickest way to lose your passion about living in this country is to actually plug into the local economy and corruption.

    this country is broken that is all there is to it and the only way to make things move forward is continually breaking the laws so you find yourself in a position where you become a criminal by way of default.

    so if you want to [b]HATE[/b] costa rica

    go and open up a small business here..:D

    instead of opening a brick and mortar business go online.. as i am now doing

    quite successfully I may add 😀

    and the best part of this is that no one knows what I do for a living and i mingle amoungst the locals buying fresh produce at the local feria.

    no inspectors

    no tax people

    no muni police

    no immigration

    no local rats coming out of the woodwork to extract money..

    look at scott oliver

    and how he makes his living.

    he lives high up in a penthouse.. behind his computer all day in his underwear :shock::shock::shock::shock::shock:

    sometimes I even bet he takes a few days without showering :D:D:D:D

    now life is pura vida

    Hi david

    good points.. and you did spell it right :D:D:D:D

    my friend did this last year. he picked a mercedes.. although you could probably do this with a toyota land cruiser something that is already in abundance here.

    he bought a 1990 mercedes 190 diesel manual transmission

    he bought the car for $1500 bucks.. invested another $3500 to $4000 in completely rebuilt motor, parts, and clutch, tires, etc.. he rebuilt the cars main points.

    shipped it here and paid $1500 taxes and shipping.

    once he got it here he invested another $1000 which he did NOT have to since the car looked pretty good but he had it painted.. and got really nice covers.

    but point is he has $6000 $7000 into this car which now is basically a new.. mercedes 190.

    he drives around ina new mercedes and knows exactly what went into it. he did this in the states since parts are alot cheaper.

    came out beautiful. beautiful

    his marchamo is $100 bucks a year. :D:D:D:D

    it takes some time and patience.

    but this would be a great plan

    because costa rica does not take into affect the shape the car is in

    only their book value.. so you would pay taxes on the car whether it looked like a dump or brand new.

    the roads here are so bad that it probably ages a car double on wear and tear.

    just mis dos centavos
