Question on property tax.
I can pay the $3700 today. I can wait month by month and only pay 1% more each month up til default date of April 1.
If all hell breaks lose will anyone care who is paid up or not? Is a 1% a month gamble worth taking on the next 3 months?
Freeper thoughts please?
When property taxes are unpaid most authorities can and do auction off the property for the unpaid taxes. There are all kinds of stories where some shyster buys some senile old lady’s house because she hasn’t paid the taxes. This is the method they use.
I am not really sure why you would put off paying the taxes and pay an interest rate over 12% for the privilege. Unless you have a serious cash flow problem and an anticipated windfall in the future I cannot see this beign a good idea.
BTTT
How did that Rapture back in the 70's go, anyway?
Gee, thanks. I just posted to year-old crap.
I don’t think it’s crap. :)
So Israel attacked Iran last January? Who woudda known?
I maintain that an Israeli attack on Iran is coming, and that it will lead to the most tension since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
If that attack does in fact come, it really won’t make much difference whether someone predicted it in January, or a year or even two years later.
Your Roman history is faulty if you believe those comparisons are accurate.
The problem is that you do not know when that “day” is, who “her” is, or what the rest of the symbolic language means. But there are hundreds who will tell you exactly what it all means or so they say.
I dunno... It’s all Greek to me.
People have been maintaining an Israeli attack is eminent for two yrs. or more. Too bad we can’t know for sure, we could make a killing buying Dow Jones index puts.
I predicted four years ago that N. Korea would be taken out by now. Ooops.
You are right. I do not “know”.
I think the difference between North Korea and Iran is that North Korea HAS nukes and Iran is trying to get them.
Once a country has nukes and is believed capable of using them, they can’t be attacked. If we were to attack the DPRK, there would be a bloodbath. Hence we can’t attack them no matter how buttheaded they are.
We should do everything possible - including war - to prevent Iran from attaining that same status. And Iran is not only pursuing nuclear warhead capability, but the ballistic missile systems to deliver them wherever they want. If they get nukes, for instance, what would we do if they blocked the Strait of Hormuz? Or initiated terrorist attacks in countries around the world (the US included)? What would we do if they invaded Israel? Or Saudi Arabia? Would we truly risk a nuclear war with a country whose leaders have an eschatological belief that they need to usher in their last imam by spreading chaos and war?
Israel has had its “Sampson option,” which basically means that they will take their enemies with them. But will they allow a psycho country like Iran to get nukes? They’ve been saying, “NO way.” And the only thing that has prevented an attack is the US reassuring them that Iran won’t be allowed to get nukes.
I think they are getting to the point that they don’t believe us anymore. And I don’t think they SHOULD believe us.
North Korea’s “end” is an interesting issue. When Kim Jong Il is truly dying, will he decide to take as much of the world as he can with him? Or, after he’s dead, will the country dissolve into chaos with disputes over leadership? And just how long can a completely dysfunctional country that starves and brutalizes its own people continue?
Actually I do not believe the N Koreans really do have a workable bomb. There has been no test of one despite disturbing events which imply that they do.
Well, I’d put it this way:
They DO have a workable bomb, and have successfully tested nuclear devices several times.
They do NOT have a workable long-range delivery system, as their ballistic missile tests have demonstrated.
I don’t doubt that what you intended to say was that they don’t have a workable nuclear-equipped ballistic missile.
What is frightening about Iran is that they are well ahead of North Korea on ballistic missile devices, and also would have a significantly easier time purchasing such technology than isolated North Korea.
I wonder what will happen when Kim Jong Il gets close to death. But I believe that Iran is the much greater threat.
No I do not believe they have a bomb. Those tests you mention were not of a bomb per se. They were detected as suspicious activity but I have seen no concrete evidence of a real bomb. I realize their missiles are medium range at best. Iran’s missiles are capable of hitting Israel perhaps but that is about the limit of their range.
I am not trying to diminish the threat posed by these two regimes but the reporting on both is even less enlightning than most of the bilge printed by the Treason media.
