If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

I must admit I am feeling a bit optimistic after reading that message from St. Kitts. I do have a substantial amount locked in the VV side of epassporte and do hope things get sorted soon.
Porn Income is almost non-existent these days since so many sponsors have flown the coop, closed down without notice, not to mention the ones that still exist that use many tricks to siphon your money and shave you smooth like a babies bottom! (Over the years, this money does add up substantially and you feel like you are being kicked over and over) Its been a good run for the last 14 years but I dont foresee it lasting too much longer for alot of us in the Free Site and Linklist business. I wish I have adapted and changed with the times - instead I just sat there with the same business model as I started out with 14 years ago |

And don't write off the old ways either. Just by upping my submissions this month and doing free sites along with TGP galleries, I'm already ahead of my best month last year, and still have days to go to the end of the month. Even the old ways are helping my bottom line.

That which does not kill us, will try, try again.

DO IT NOW...NOW...NOW!!!
I tried to withdraw the remaining funds in my ePassporte *Wallet* this morning when I saw the latest message from SKNANB (posted earlier in this thread), but the ACH transfer to bank account was showing an error message and wouldn't complete. Good news is I just tried again and it went through, or at least the ePassporte website shows that it did and now my balance is reduced by the amount I transferred. My advice to anyone with money still in the Wallet (not on the Visa part of the account) is that you may want to withdraw all that you can as soon as you can in case things go completely tits-up in the next few days. I know it's not easy for those not in the USA to withdraw their funds, but if you're in the USA and can do an ACH transfer to your bank account this may be time to jump on this. 0101010011

I know you have hard on for me, but I'm pretty much done with your wisdom and trivia due to your "downfall of America" prediction. That's right up there with the "second coming". Go back to defending epassporte.

Honestly, take the $100 I'm missing out of the equation & I could care less about the Visa thing. I'd be happy with a company that could accept money from sponsors that do not pay via check & then transfer it to my bank once a week for a $3 fee. |

My guess is that VISA is bowing to pressure from the U.S. Treasury and DOJ. There are other companies trying to step in and offer the same service but they too will suffer the same fate. I guess is that people may actually see their virtual VISA money but it may take months or years as every account is checked in detail to see whether it has ties to organized crime or the worse terrorism. I have no proof to offer but I this is my gut feel. |

Plus being able to transfer money for PA's and other stuff is easy. Shit, they can raise the 30 cent transfer fee to a dollar to help offset their losses and I'd continue to use them as long as those places still take it. |

For example, in his first term of office George W. started to fuck up the economy. Regardless of any other issues (including party loyalties) anyone who cared about America should have voted against him to save the country. However he spent the money on things that made him popular, and despite American economists screaming that this was a bad thing, most Americans stuck with their belief that America is indestructible, and voted him in for a second term. He fucked the economy some more, then the crash happened. The crash was not really his fault, but he had so "knife edged" the economy that it made it hard to pull America back from the brink. The fact that the crash hit America so badly is George W.'s fault, the fact that America has still not recovered from it is George W.'s fault, and the fact that you are tottering on the brink of a second dip is George W.'s fault. And it is the fault of the majority of Americans who refused to listen to the warnings from his first term of office because they thought America was indestructible, and voted him in a second time. And there is another big disaster looming - the mid terms. If most Americans vote with their hearts instead of their brains the impending "falling of the sky" I was talking about will become even more probable. Unfortunately, to save the country, the majority of voting Americans need to realise that America is not indestructible, and vote for what America needs, not for what they want. However most Americans have the same views as you "America is great, we don't have to worry", and that will push the country into disaster and decline. Remember what happened to the Roman empire, or more recently to the British empire. Both of those died because the Romans and British thought about their countries the same way you (and so many others) now think about America, and unless a hell of a lot of people have a rethink, America is going the same way as the Roman empire. And that is why I so often post things like those in my previous post. Hopefully some people will think about what I say, and convince others, and will save your country. I doubt it though. Most people are probably thinking "What the fuck has it got to do with that Brit. America is great, and we don't need no Limey telling us otherwise." Ironic isn't it? What will probably do for the USA in the end is patriotism. People need to learn that being patriotic does not just mean loving your country, it also means doing what is best for your country, even if it hurts you. Sitting back with a self satisfied "America is great" attitude and letting America go to hell in a handcart makes you about as patriotic as an Iraqi urinating on the Stars and Stripes. Remember that famous quote "Think not what your country can do for you, think only what you can do for your country." |

As far as something being "great", I'll leave that for all you self righteous fucks to judge. I'm fine with being bigger, badder and dirtier than most everyone else. |

That's nice to hear. Fingers crossed.
It would be nice if epass recovered, tho that seems less likely. |
