Some people don't even know what their country is like .... very sad 🙁
 
Reminds me of when compusa opened a store near me and they have those PII400s for $100(it was many years ago). I went there at 5 am and there were like 50 ppl in line so I went home instead.
 
Puerto Rico sounds like a heaven on earth... 9800pro's for $100 and hot chicas... yay!

Too bad it's not a part of the US
 
Any Hot Deals on RT Tik's to PR? $100 for the card $150 for the Tiks and some time down there...now there's a many a Hot Deals in that (Vid Card, Tiks, Chicks, Weather, Party, etc) 😉

Except that no matter how you look at it...it's still Puerto Rico, the chicks aren't very hot, despite what you think, spanish sounds dirty, and Puerto Rican guys are nothing to look forward to knowing.

wow, i can understand forgetting a password, but your user name? why don't you email the forum moderator. somewhere in the database there is a user name corresponding to your email address (actually probably two user names now, since you created a new one). i know my Dune stuff, but i don't recall any user names that reminded me of characters/planets/etc. from the franchise. anyways, good luck beating the crowd tomorrow, and enjoy🙂

thanks Compusa, for coming to Puerto Rico!

Powerman, be very thankfull "beastman" Dick Cheney and "dummy" George Bush don't want one of these, or else they would invade your country!

The Post "beast man" Cheney Era

LaRouche . . . .
you people are so funny! Seriously, are you one of his fanatics? ha ha ha . . . hee hee hee =)
I mean, I think Buchannan got like 10,000 times as many votes as LaRouche, after only running a few times. What round is LaRouche on? Post Cheney/Bush will simply be anyone who can mount a serious challenge and that will probably be Kerry, Dean, or Clark (not in their order in terms of who is most likely to get the best chance).

Can you imagine Bush standing up at the debate and trying to defend that war and his poor planning to a GENERAL!!! I mean, flyboy in the Texas national guard (safe at home during Vietnam despite his horrible test scores for air force) is going to argue just war policy with a decorated General whose only problem was the lack of political will during Kosovo? That's gonna be classic!

Seriously, anyone interested in LaRouche should just search around on google for a bit, very telling information available. Just vote your conscience and educate your friends, that's all democracy needs.
 
I can't believe this for some reason. Sounds too much like lotto winners in Nigeria to me. Just send money.

If that is so, then how come ONLY Howard Dean is ahead of LaRouche in indiviual contrabutions? LaRouche just got certified to recieve matching funds from the FEC.
FEC.GOV: LaRouche recieves matching funds

That's gonna be classic!

Wesley Clarks performance in Kosovo was nothing to be proud of, and he wasn't part of the armed millitary that put up a real fight against Iraq. Clark, like the rest of the 9 candidates except LaRouche bowed down. Where were the democrats in the fight against Dick Cheneys personal "Beast Man" Arnold? Only the LaRouche youth movement put up the defining fight against Cheneys other puppett, Arnie. In the areas we organized the most, we turned the recall around from 60-40 for the recall, to 49-51 against the recall. In Phily, the fight to defend John Street from Ashcrofts police state was again done by the LaRouche Youth Movement and we won that fight too. The fact is only LaRouche is active in changing politics and getting the chickenhawks, while the democrats are getting drug money from George Soros. The other 9 democrats have made themselves worthless in their impotence to do anything.

Seriously, anyone interested in LaRouche should just search around on google for a bit, very telling information available. Just vote your conscience and educate your friends, that's all democracy needs.
And I ask you to do something different. Instead of reading slanders that 'you lookedup on the internet', slanders paid by extreme right wing think tanks and so fourth, go listen to larouche himself. Instead of telling me what other special intrests say he is about, find out what he is about in reality. Read ANY article off his site, or listen to his october 22nd webcast. You will see that he has the most substance and plans to develop the USA. The fanatics in this country are the freaks that believe the stock market is doing just fine, that money in itself has a real physical value, that the war on Iraq is justified, and so fourth. Namely, the baby boomer generation. For your own sake, God I hope you're not a baby boomer! lol

I'm not surprised at all. Last year on one of my trips to PR the Northwest desk person at the airport demanded my passport before giving me the boarding pass. She finally gave it to me after she got her facts straight from two other employees. Pathetic...
 
just arrived from the store, I went to work, then got home, then at 8pm went to the store with my 4year old kid, the store was full.........but there it was there were radeons 9800pros at the stands, (I went at that hour hoping, cause a friend told me a cousin of him went there in the morning and there were still radeons 9800pros) so he was right!but I asked the salesguy and asked him if the cards were still at 99$, told me not, he said that after 3min of opening the store at 8am were all gone,,,,but he told tomorrow will be more..........and I said 5 more right?he said yes.so its not worth it.maybe at 8am tomorrow will check , depends how i wake.

Picked this up from PR's website:

Puerto Rico is a self-governing commonwealth in association with the United States. The chief of state is the President of the United States of America. The head of government is an elected Governor. There are two legislative chambers: the House of Representatives, 51 seats, and the Senate, 27 seats.

Puerto Rico has authority over its internal affairs. United States controls: interstate trade, foreign relations and commerce, customs administration, control of air, land and sea, immigration and emigration, nationality and citizenship, currency, maritime laws, military service, military bases, army, navy and air force, declaration of war, constitutionality of laws, jurisdictions and legal procedures, treaties, radio and television--communications, agriculture, mining and minerals, highways, postal system; social security, and other areas generally controlled by the federal government in the United States. Puerto Rican institutions control internal affairs unless U.S. law is involved, as in matters of public health and pollution. The major differences between Puerto Rico and the 50 states are its local taxation system and exemption from Internal Revenue Code, its lack of voting representation in either house of the U.S. Congress, the ineligibility of Puerto Ricans to vote in presidential elections, and its lack of assignation of some revenues reserved for the states.

Puerto Rico has one resident commissioner (with voice, but no vote) in the Congress of United States. There are no electoral votes for Puerto Rico in the U.S. presidential elections. .

The major political parties are: Popular Democratic Party (PPD) 787-725-1992, which supports an enhanced commonwealth status. The New Progressive Party (PNP) 787-721-1992, which supports full U.S. statehood for the island. And the Puerto Rican Independence Party (PIP) 787-782-1455 which supports the independence from the US.

Commonwealth associated with the US. The island's inhabitants possess all the rights and obligations of United States citizens such as paying social security, receiving federal welfare and serving in the armed forces, except for the right to vote in presidential elections and the obligation to pay federal taxes.


So, just so it can be said: PR is NOT a part of the US (as in another state), it is a commonwealth. Good news is that it actually looks like some people in PR would like to change that. Best of both worlds for PR means someones getting screwed somewhere: regular taxpayers in the US.

u have done your homework well.........
but going back to the cards, no card after all for me.
theres was a guy here in the forums that pm me, told me about a bvg(best value guarantee) on Amex cards, he told me he needed the ad, maybe for tomorrow I will have it, not sure....cause Amex matches the price on same items purchased withl Amex if u found the same item before 60days after your purchase at a lower price.....I think im late for helping him out,......but there will be others Compusa open in a couple of months so I am expecting similar deals on those cards.Right now Im looking for a Amex (I have visas, mastercards, never a Amex(americanexpress))so i should be ready when the next stores open here....hope the same deals are done.cya all.
