Penalize for being responsible. Isn’t it against to what we learned from the day we came out from our mothers belly? Indeed, all our lives we learned to be responsible, truthful simply because thats the morally and ethically correct way to live your life. But thats going to change.
If you haven’t heard about it yet, banks (Citi, Bank of America, etc) have decided to increase the APR of customers who are happened to be responsible. Yes, if you always keep your balance zero, if you don’t carry considerable amount of balance, or if you haven’t used your credit card for a long time, there is a good chance that you already have a mail from your credit card company in your mail box. I would like to warn you before opening that mail because if you satisfy above conditions your APR could go sky rocketing.
Lets switch gears. Banks begged in-front of us asking money. And we (Gov) jumped in and bailed them out. But why cant the government jumped in when it happens other way around? I have heard from somewhere, that government is there to serve its citizens. Government sure served all these cunning banks, and when its effecting regular joe all the law makers have decided to turn their head other way and plug they years with ipods or something.
Where is Obama, I haven’t heard anything from Obama administration related to this matter. It might be hard to speak against giant banks that fueled his campaign. I need to be clear, as an international person, I cant vote for any party so I don’t care who rule the country as long as they serve for the people of that country.
Yes its true that being responsible have hurt in this situation but this shouldn’t be an excuse to live your life irresponsibly. Many other areas in our life required responsible behavior, it just happened to be using credit cards are not one of them.

I don’t have any problem with any nation doing nuclear experiments as long as there intention is to use that technology to develop their country. I clearly don’t support US’s bully approach that they conduct against every country in this world. According to Clinton, US will never have normal relationship with North Korea. It’s not an exaggeration to say that US will never have a normal relationship with any country that challengers its views.
Sri Lankan government ended a 30 year old war. But US lawmakers like Hillary kept attacking Sri Lankan government by false allegation. And today US State Department once again made headline saying Sri Lankan government disobey the Human Rights Law during the war.
Who are we kidding; US State Department is Hillary’s office. Not a long ago one of Hillary’s biggest donor got arrested by FBI for Insider Trading. Raj Rajaratnam, donated money to Hillary’s campaign and his money came with conditions. Hillary has to do everything in her power to stop Sri Lankan government kicking LTTE’s rare end.
Hillary and her colleague’s voices made headlines every time people like Raj Rajaratnam dropped of a bag of cash at their door steps (bank accounts). I am very thankful for FBI, for what they did and they did it Hillary knowing about it. Now that she has no place to go, her office releases a report against Sri Lanka for violating human rights law. How did they get information? Not a single US representative was in the war zone during the war nor they have made an attempt to go over there after the war. Yet they make false accusations against Sri Lankan government.
This why I started saying, US will never have a normal relationship with any country unless they change their approach. We all know the ending of high school bullies right..? It’s never a good ending for them…

Chill out, It’s not bad as it sounds. Yes, I freaked out when I first saw the news. I did the search and sure enough I saw plenty of voice messages freely available as search results. Not only that I was able play them and actually listen to a personal conversation. After few seconds I stopped playing messages simply because its wrong. But just confirmed if they were really voice messages. It only shows three pages worth of search results. If Google were to list all the Google voice mail messages it should well be beyond three pages of results. That tells me this sounds like a link of test.
I checked to see any of my voice messages are showing up on results page fortunately it didn’t, and this made me think twice continuing with the Google Voice account.

I have nothing against Obama, but It’s really funny to wake up and hear that Obama won the nobel peace award. Also whats more funny is that judgers have mentioned that it was a unanimous decision. Judges decision really cracked me up. Then I realized only an American president can do that, do what? destroy the image of Sri Lanka while trying to fight against LTTE, cast the vote while you are on senate to send troops to iraq, keep on going war in Afghanistan, threaten Iran to shut down its nuclear research, last but not least attack the moon to find evidence of water and yet still win Nobel Peace Award.
Sri Lankan president brought peace to Sri Lanka by ending a war that existed for more than three decades. But why would the judges consider a president from a developing country when you have a president that fits the above mention activities that must have to win a Nobel Peace Price. All this time I thought it was really hard to get a Nobel Price but today I realize its not the case anymore…, ooh I just forgot I can never be the president of United States, so its still an impossible task.
