Bogino,
I would not get pumped up at all, if I were you. I have been waiting for the other shoe to fall for over three years now. It feels as if it is overdue.

I am pretty sure we will see either a gradual grinding down of the world economy or a sudden and catastrophic crash, the likes of which has never been recorded. The last thing I expect to see in my lifetime is a return to things as they were before 2007.

A little spike in the housing market is probably, at best, an opportunity to sell and get out. Buying and holding in the US is the worst idea right now. Costa Rica will not be spared the consequences of a crash but at least there are not yet any signs of a police state.

We all know that Costa Rica is not for everyone. If you do not speak Spanish or have problems with Latin culture, pick somewhere else outside of the crumbling empire but DO leave.

Anyone who is NOT gay and is concerned about this topic has been manipulated and distracted away from more pressing matters. (see Scott’s posting)

You know that the recent, weak rise in house sales is fragile when you see so many articles saying that rising interest rates are GOOD for home buyers. Since when has a higher mortgage rate been an enticement to buy? The Pollyana optimism of the main stream media has to make up some BS reasoning to make everyone believe that things are getting better even though they are not. Rising interest rates are not a good thing in a recession when consumption is already down.

But, according to the media, higher interest rates will keep real estate speculators out of the market, thereby keeping the depressed house prices depressed, making them more affordable for new buyers who are not speculators. Pretty convoluted, isn’t it?

The reality is that interest rates are rising now and as long as they do, consumption will slow down, not speed up. Sell your US house and get thee to Costa Rica before walls of depression and repression close in on you.

This will be short-lived so anyone who is considering escaping from “El Monstro Del Norte” should hurry up. The US housing prices are temporarily pumped up due to Fed actions, which cannot last too much longer.

My Latin wife is 9 years my junior. I am of Anglo Saxon heritage and I live in Miami and over the decades, I have seen enough culturally mixed marriages to make a general statement; a marriage between an Anglo male and Latin female works out better than between two Anglos or between a Latin male and an Anglo female. There is a decidedly strong bias in Latin culture for males to dominate in obviously unfair ways( or try to dominate) the arrangement. In Anglo cultures, it is more of an even sided affair, but still somewhat male dominated.

I would not give good odds to any North American female for coming to CR for a mate. She is going to expect a modicum of equality is some important areas. The Latin male will simply consider this unacceptable. Someone has to abandon his or her cultural bias.

I’m not against Jews, I’m against the injustice of Zionism – a philosophy which dictates that one group of people are entitled to the land of another by virtue of their religious beliefs alone. But while I oppose Zionism and the Talmud teachings as a gross and unjust philosophy, I always keep in mind that all Jews are not Zionists. In fact, i understand that many Jews are more adamantly opposed to Zionism than non-Jews.

There has been a long history of conditioning North Americans to love Israel and Israel’s “cause”. I was a victim of that conditioning for many years while I was still inside the left-right paradigm.

But after a while, even the most brainwashed among us have to wake up to the truth. This is not about individuals. It is about a small group of individuals, a cabal, that moves, thinks, controls prey and kills like a single predator. It hollows out cultures and the wealth of countries from within like a virus and has little to do, as far as I can tell, with the religion it claims as its own. And its range of control is worldwide. It is everywhere, even in Costa Rica.

It is hard NOT to notice when people form a group based on specific published principals and then display individual behavior based on those group principles to which they subscribe. Beliefs are potent. People usually act on them.

We have always lived in societies mostly dominated by psychopaths. They become our leaders; presidents and politicians, popes, priests, imams, kings and queens. When you see psychopathic behavior associated with a particular group philosophy, religion or state, you should call it for what it is and to hell with the fools who will call you a rascist for it. Based on what I am seeing, Zionists are among some of the craziest, evil pshychos out there.

I will forgive your negative emotional outburst because I was once ignorant on this topic. I never held any strong opinion one way or the other regarding Israelis as a people. I still do not. I am grateful to have some Israeli acquaintances in Costa Rica. They are wonderful people.

But I DO have a strong negative opinion regarding any people who form exclusive groups which prey on others. These psychopaths use various organizational formats. Zionism is one of them.

I don’t accept coincidence an an explanation. Where ever the Israelis have settled in large groups, they have had trouble getting along with their neighbors.

While history is filled with examples of intolerance between various groups, no single race or religion has the track record of the Israelis.

I just find it difficult to accept that every other race on the planet is bigoted against this one tribe for no apparent reason. Either the entire human race is hopelessly bigoted or there is a behavioral problem with this one tribe.

I haven’t quite made up my mind on this issue. But there certainly is a weight of information pushing me to one side these days.

Can the corporation tax can be paid at the municipality that collects the taxes for the property owned by the corporation.

[quote=”VictoriaLST”]”Useless eaters?” Excuse me? Retired people put tons of money into the economy. Do miles of volunteer work. “Useless eaters” my grandma’s eyebrows! Wake up, sonny.[/quote]

“Useless eaters” is not my assessment. It is the assessment of the power structure, the money. Retired people do not put money into the economy from which they have retired. After all, taking social security payments is a withdrawal, not a deposit or creation of new wealth. For this reason, a nation’s government may wish to keep social security spending within its economy. My point is that social security spending is such a small amount that it hardly seems worth worrying about and anyway, since the stated goal is a world economy, does it matter where it is spent?

Many retired people do contribute to society in other than monetary ways. But how many retired people actually do volunteer work? And of how much monetary value is that work relative to the cost of social security?
And is doing work without pay taking jobs away from others who need the income?

I think it is best to separate monetary values from real social values….unless you agree with the banksters who really do consider retirees as “useless eaters”.

[quote=”VictoriaLST”]Politicians follow the votes. Career civil ‘servants’ follow the money.[/quote]

Retired citizens are considered to be useless eaters and no longer contributing to the tax base or the banking system. I am trying to understand why the thieves in Washington and with the Federal Reserve banks would really care where we lived.

I am guessing all you needed was the cedula number and that some sort of receipt was given?
